Although we obviously do not have the votes now, an idea to consider in the future is for each region to decide how their senator is elected.
Haha, you are guys are wacky.

Yeah, but you take it to such extremes that it becomes humorous.

This really wouldn't be that extreme, secession is extreme.  My intention was to have at some point each region have an assembly like the Mideast that would vote in a senator, similar to the system America used prior to the 17th(?) amendment

Indirect election?

That's an interesting idea, though your motives are clear here.

Honestly I have no motives, I'm not really sure at what you are getting at.  The RPP candidate will win the Dirty South for awhile unless there are drastic changes.  I actually want to get a DS legislature as I feel there is a lot of talented people and not enough positions.

The legislature would also be free to select a member or the Gov or Lt. Gov..

A Tennessee-style system where the legislature elects the Lt. Gov. would be interesting.

But the real question here is what "posters" today are ericadlers, created to undermine fantasy elections?

The RPP may want to ask itself this.

We know which poster you tried to be to gain access to the forum.  I'm pretty sure the two (hoping to expand to three) people I have in mind are not you

Well the real-life U.S. allows the states to determine its own method of electing its own representatives and senators, as long as the actual election takes place on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November, or after.

This is another idea I had a while back. Let the governors administer the senate elections and the SoFA would just have to focus on President / Vice President.

     What if we prohibited any party from holding a majority of the seats in the legislature?

^^^ this. The regions need to be in charge of senate races, not the government.

Undemocratic.

     Also unworkable since only the RPP & SDP have anything resembling a presence in the Dirty South. Wink

That too.

Anyway, can you simulate an election to a hypothetical legislature? The voters would be the ones who voted (or had voted) in the recent election.

Really depends on who runs, there are plenty of indies who could win.

Well, we would pretend only party members run. PiT's a statistician, he can do this.

Which one are you referring to?  The Dirty South is more than capable, the Mideast seems fairly effecive as does the Pacific.  The Midwest chooses not to have elections.  The only really do nothing regoin at this point is the Northeast

I love how the Pacific is great and active. I'd like someone to point me to this "activity". Power was illegally transferred a few weeks ago and there's no Lieutenant Governor.

Well, they had it and I'm sure they could regain it.  Sure, no region really rivals the activity of the Dirty South but that's cause we think we're our own country Tongue

"Could regain it" isn't very reassuring. Why did it lose it in the first place?
