Citizens HQ - Provisional Convention coming

[Lumine]

Citizens

Foreword:

The current party system appears to be more broken than ever. We appear to be badly served by an imperfect form of two-party politics which have drawn us into what many Atlasians describe as the “Nyman Consensus” or “Echo Chamber Consensus”. With many brilliant independent-minded Atlasians shut out of the political process due to not belonging to either main party, now more than ever Atlasia needs a strong, alternative political force willing to break the mold and reform our nation for the better. This is where “Citzens” comes into play. We purport to be a centrist, reform-minded party which can welcome independents and disaffected members of either main party. Not so we become “Labor-lite” or “Federalist-lite” or the “Moderate Hero Party” (far from it), but to offer genuinely different points of view, promote new and novel ideas and instill greater life in our political and party system. We want to serve as a platform to help newer or independent-minded Atlasians to rise, run for office and help change things for the better. If you feel independent voices require a stronger presence in Atlasia, if you want to see our Republic thriving under reasonable reform, if you believe in responsible governing in matters such as fiscal responsibility, technological development, constitutional reform, regional devolution or environmental protection (to name a few), then “Citizens” may just be the party for you.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I guess I'll be forever member #2.

A New Beginning

Press Release: Former President Lumine founded the new party "Citizens" today, citing the need to renew the current political system and offer a new centrist, independent and reform-minded party to the public.

Hmm...sounds interesting...I'll join.

[wxtransit]

Is the name of this party be abbreviated to C's? (Similar to the Spanish party)

[rpryor03]

I'm excited to join Lumine's new party and to continue fighting for the same ideals that we ran on!

Gentlemen, glad to have you on board!

Ideally yes, I did draw some inspiration from Ciudadanos.

[Kamala]

So, Mr. Former President, will you also show you have nothing to hide á la Albert Rivera?



The one question on all of our minds.

[Enduro]

Not gonna join, but good luck

[Lumine]

Madam Speaker, nothing would be more satisfactory than to show I have nothing to hide. Alas, there are no risque pictures of Lord Heseltine (and thank god for that!)

[Simfan34]

I was hoping to be member No. 2!

Now for an incredibly important question: what is the hex code for this party's official color?

Hooray, a new blue party to make the map look nice.

[CMB222]

I'm in

[wxtransit]

With all the new parties, I can't wait to see the next census update.

[Fmr. Representative Encke]

With all the new parties, I can't wait to see the next census update.

The Census only recognizes parties with 3 or more members as distinct entities; other parties are lumped in the 'other category.' So really, only Citizens will be added to the next update unless another person joins the AWRP.

This has actually been a pretty tame period for small third parties. In July, the party breakdown looked like this:

Welp, looks like I missed the main show. And that's around the time I joined the forum! I should have registered earlier

[PPT Spiral]

Figured I'd be the first elected officeholder to join this party.

[Lumine]

Spiral, that's great news! Welcome to the party.

Now that we have several members I think it's time to move into the leadership and having our by-laws (and hopefully then moving into a more detailed platform). I think we should have a Chairman and a Secretary, and a Vice-Chairman only if there is interest.

So I'll leave 48 hours open for people to be nominated or to nominate themselves for an office. I'll be running for Party Chairman, of course.

[CMB222]

I second the nomination for Lumine as Party Chairman

[PPT Spiral]

I third Lumine for Chairman. I nominate myself for Vice Chairman and Simfan for Secretary.

[wxtransit]

I fourth the nomination for Lumine as Party Chairman. I also second the nomination for Spiral as Vice Chairman.

[Senator Cris]

I'm very excited to join!

[Talleyrand]

I would be delighted to re-enter Atlasian politics as a member of this party. Unfortunately I was unable to cast a valid vote in the previous election, but I am really excited about doing so this time around.
