Simulation is boring.


Aye.

Aye.

This is the most interesting thread in quite a while.

Aye, for this we might as well just have remained with the party block vote.

You can't really blame the communists. The fault is ours as the opposition has enough seats to block every vote attempted by the communists. The problem is that after the election the opposition just fucked off- what happened to the so-called "Pan Nationalists," LC, CA and the rest?

Yeah, I agree with MB. It's kind of dead in Parliament.

Aye, although Ingliz seems to be having a grand old time playing mostly with himself.

I concur. I guess this is more realistic simulation than I thought, as only half the people can be arsed to vote.

I'm amazed at the speed that Ingliz is just cranking out these bills.

Yeah. I agree.

I'm afraid I stopped following the PoFo Parliament after the 'Clerk of the House', the aforementioned Ingliz, got all pissy with me about one of his precious 'MPs only' threads.

So, when MPs who's responsibility overlaps with my real-world job (military/healthcare),and who know fuck all about their brief start talking utter bollocks, no more will I leap in and generously give my time to attempt to correct them.

It's a waste of fucking time if only the 'elite' are allowed to play, Ingliz!!!

There is nothing to stop you registering a party and contesting the upcoming elections, or you could join one of the estabished parties as an active member and gain a seat that way, and then you can "leap in" wherever and whenever you please.

I like the simulation. Praise comrade ingliz!

Predicted by: everyone who was in favor of block voting. :)

Let's just make a new election.

Let's not. Let's just wait and see where the sim takes us, shall we?

The elections are being held on Sunday 12th July, next week.

At the moment two of the established parties, the LC and CA, have not registered their intention to contest but there is still time.

If you wish to register a party please do so by posting in the Naming of MP's thread before Wednesday 8, July 2:00 pm GMT.

All parties, new or old, can take part if they register.

If they do not register they will not be included on the ballot.

No exceptions will be granted.

Please pop into the thread and make your parties' intentions known.


ingliz, Clerk of the House

Can you point to where it says that parties have to register?

Article 5. Formation of Government Addendum wrote:1) Election occurs.

2) The clerk counts all votes, determines which are legitimate, and which are spoiled ballots, and then distributes all of the seats in parliament based on the percentage of the vote each party received in the election.

To determine which votes are legitimate there must be some criteria, otherwise all votes would be legitimate, or do you wish me to throw votes out willy nilly on a whim.

The interim document leaves the rules, the organisation of elections, solely at the discretion of the Clerk

Damn Communist busy-bodies...

The election "rules":

1) Parties must register.

2) Eligible voters are those members of PoFo who meet two criteria:

i. They have more than 100 posts

ii. They have been a member of the PoliticsForum for a period of at least one month.

3) The vote will last 72 hours.

To determine which votes are legitimate there must be some criteria

Yes, but you don't get to arbitrarily set that criteria. Since in the previous two elections no registration of parties was necessary, you demanding it now is purely bullshit.

Bullshit, otherwise you could throw away any vote not for the UFP.

Don't be silly.
