Im curious to see what the Whigs do in this race- work to elect a dangerous Truther extremist or throw one of their own under the proverbial bus.

The Whigs elected a fascist to national office, so I don't see how a homophobic truther would be any different.

When did the Whig Party get the privilege to elect Senators on their own? I am aware that facts may not bother you too much, but Pingvin, the Atlasian citizen you are probably referring to, was elected in a special election where he got many non-Whig votes. Without these votes, he would not have been elected.

He was also the only candidate other than Alfred Jones who declared before the election, IIRC, so he was bound to get elected anyway.

An effort was mounted to get Seatown elected. Had the non-Whig Pingvin voters voted for Seatown, Pingvin would not have been elected.

Didn't Seatown declare after voting had already started?

Yes.

Guess who provided them the opportunity. Tongue

I haven't noticed much daylight between Pingvin and ZuWo politically in any case. Funny see to JCL use the term "best" instead of "wealthiest" when discussing tax rates.

But wouldn't you agree the tax rates are a bit skewed against the "best" or "wealthiest"? 60 percent is way too high.


I voted to lower taxes as a Senator. The 60% marginal rate only takes effect at $2.5 million. The other tax brackets are comparable to US levels. Atlasia provides better services than the US.
