Poll for Mideast Citizens: Lt. Governor

[Napoleon]

If you elect all of your regional legislators at the same time, you could consider the Northeast's solution to the electoral competitiveness problem: Grant the title of Lieutenant Governor to the legislator receiving the most votes in the prior election.

This doesn't work well if you have a large set of responsibilities and powers in mind, but if you're most interested in having someone to take the Governor's place in case of absence or resignation, it's an effective way of dealing with the situation.

The Speaker assumes Governorship if the Governor resigns or disappears, so that's already taken care of.

Then you have no Speaker.

[Napoleon]

Very bad idea. If we have citizens who want a job but cannot find one, those citizens should run for the Assembly and we can have the five seat Assembly. A Lieutenant Governor position will not help activity or functionality.

[Napoleon]

Support.  As for whether it should be on a ticket with the Governor or elected separately, I don't care either way.

Why?

[Napoleon]

Getting at least two people to run for Governor, two people to run for LG and four or more Assembly candidates while having a judge and a Senator is not going to happen and will decrease electoral competition. This doesn't account for the executive or judicial branches of the federal government or any Mideast residents serving as at large Senators. This is a bad idea through and through.
