We need a moderators and some random questions. The election deadline is tomorrow so make it snappy.

Either way, each party pick one member. This party is finished. Now, let's do this!

Someone start pitching questions.

[Paradigm]

We already have party leaders assigned. I think they should be the ones to debate.

[Zyx]

Meh, I was doing a Ron Paul. You know, calling the bigger parties to a debate without any real chance of winning either the debate or the public, but now that I am a part of SN, again, I'll cancel this call for debate.

Paradigm, why no SN?

[Paradigm]

Paradigm, why no SN?

Because I'm not a socialist.

Incidentally, this whole parliamentary system gives me a headache. I'd like to try this again with an American-style system where you're either center-left or center-right or you don't matter.

[Zyx]

So what? Is there something about their policies that you disagree with or are you simply voting against the attribution?

I.e. if their party were named differently, would you support it?

I'm not joining them because the SLD better represents my positions. That said, we are currently considering whether or not to join a coalition with SN. But if I join you guys, it will be in a coalition, not as a member of your party.

[Zyx]

I suppose, since you basically wrote the SLD program.

It looks like your party isn't half bad. I mean, it's very superficial and doesn't dig deep into quelling many problems, but, by and by, it's decent.

I mean, you guys should become aware of such phenomenon as 'tracking' and its downside and maybe readjust your foreign policy, but as far as seeming appealing as per mainstream, you guys do well.

[Dr House]

That system sucks. It has all of the drawbacks of a one-party state with none of the advantages.

[Zyx]

Actually, Dr House, it's less confusing and the platforms are more meaningless. Plus, we vote for people and how good looking they are [even on the local level people post up their picture and some catch phrases--occasionally giving a brilliant oration or attending a local commercial or religious institution]. It's a reinforcement of our culture, tbh. Makes one wonder which is responsible for which.

[Sephardi]

I'd love to debate any one of you chumps.

[Zyx]

I can't debate for the SN, but I'd listen to you on an issue. What do you have to say?

[Sephardi]

Free Ice Cream on Thursdays.

No but seriously I would like to debate a few Leftists.

[Zyx]

Let's back up. That ice cream thing is quite profound.

Sephardi, you should start off with a topic. If you are wrong, I'll try to tell you why you are. If you are right, I'll see if this is a coincidence or a genuine mark of interest on your part. Do you want me to come with a question?

[Sephardi]

Question me.

[Zyx]

I noticed in SLD that they do not support a nuclear program for Iran. What say you on the matter?

How does your government support Israel in its disagreement of the Iranian program?

What if your citizens wanted to export goods to assist Iran, what do you think of that?

Any statements on the matter?

[Sephardi]

A) I agree with the people in SLD in that Iran shall never have a nuclear program. I am for using force to prevent them from doing this, as it is in our national interest, since Iran is very anti-Pofo.

B) Our government shall always support Israel against the Iranians. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Israel is our friend and has helped us out a lot in the region. We shouldn't be sending them money. We should be helping them like true, strong, and free Allies. Israel a big ally against the forces of tyranny in this world.

C) Our citizens will never think that since Iran hates Pofoland. I believe the citizens of Pofoland agree with me on this. Iran is dangerous and will be stopped.

[Zyx]

Oh, I misread your parties Foreign policy record.

Wait a moment, though. I'm from Pofoland and my business wants to negotiate with Iranian interests. I don't like Iran, of course, but I love money. You, as a government, would intervene with my right of commerce? Under what pretext?

[FallenRaptor]

I want to debate the SN platform since it has spurred much controversy but no one has really tried to argue against any specific point in it.

[Zyx]

Hmm, FallenRaptor, go after Sephardi, then.

Actually, go after Paradigm (he's a wealthy politician, I hear.)

[Dr House]

I would be delighted to participate in a debate.
