Since I am running myself, I am obviously more enthusiastic about the election than usual. However, even if I didn't run I would probably feel more excited because this election offers so much more than the last one (in terms of the number of tickets and debates).
Really? I thought last election was such an epic battle, so to speak. It really seems like everyone put up their best and there was everything on the table. Dissolution never could have happened under Duke.
We didn't even have a presidential or vice-presidential debate (calls for public debates were ignored) and the election campaign was pretty lame overall (compare, for example, the length and content of the campaign threads in this and the last election). The voting patterns were also very predictable and it was clear from the beginning that any candidate outside of the RPP or JCP would not have the slightest chance. That's why I wasn't very enthusiastic about the last election. In this election, however, there is a frontrunner (Polnut) but since there are so many tickets in the race the election is a lot less predictable.
Why do you think dissolution could not have happened under Duke?
