Speed of Sound, I'm really impressed by the amount of time and detail you put into your campaign posts.

Thank you all. I have a lot of fun here in Atlasia and an opportunity to speak before the Labor Party meant a lot to me and my campaign, so it was worth a particular effort.

Yet I want to say I would be thrilled with NVGonzalez and/or Spamage being elected to the Senate. There are many great candidates in this special election!

With all endorsement votes over, I'd like to encourage the Vice-Chair and members to resume discussion of the party platform.

[Niemeyerite]

Damn, I didn't vote. But obviously, my vote would have been for SoS. NVGonzalez and Spamage would make great senators, too.

Forwards, my friends! Let us ride to victory in the Senate!

[Adam Griffin]

Congratulations to our newest elected official, Snowstalker, as he joins the growing Labor delegation in the Senate!

Now, let's get back to the topic of platform creation.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Yay Snow!

[Zanas]

I still don't know if I'm competent to help in establishing this platform, but if I post enough, I guess I will be. I would like to hereby ask our Chairman if he thinks that the Labor party of Atlasia could and should apply for membership of the Socialist International. Being part of an international organization is a valuable asset to foster our international policies, to see how things are thought and done in other countries, contexts, similar or different, that we can learn from.

Here is, below, the Ethical charter of said International. I believe our Party could easily fit inside its frame. Then, it could serve as a base to work our platform. Other question, should our platform be a kind of "campaigning programme" stating in a somewhat precise way what we're gonna do when we get elected, or should it be more of a "declaration of principles/manifesto" stating what we believe in ? I would be more in favor of the latter, with the possibility to extract some topics and solutions to them in the context of campaigns.

I am currently browsing manifestos from the Labor Party of the UK and the French Parti socialiste, of several time periods, and seeing what we can do. The Socialist International also has a declaration of principles that is a hundred points long, I will look into it too.

I fully support joining Socialist International.

[Adam Griffin]

I support the idea. I'm not sure if the adoption of their platform was being suggested, but it would at the very least be a great framework - or we could copy it. That's up to the Vice-Chair, who should be dropping by shortly.
