INVALID 2 (Snowstalker, Bmotley)


ALFRED F. JONES is elected At-Large Senator.

There was a total turnout of 117 votes, with 2 ballot papers being rejected.

I, Homelycooking, Secretary of Federal Elections, declare the above results to be a complete and accurate summary of the votes cast.

[Flake]

[  ] DemPGH (Labor-WA)
[ X ] Flo (Labor-AK)
[  ] Write-in:
[  ] None of the Above
[  ] Abstain

[Flake]

DemPGH has been a liberal for a long time before becoming a Labor...

That was a long time ago, ftr.

For sure. Then, you've entered on Labor, left it, stayed a good time on the Progressive Union and returned to Labor. What I'm trying to say is that Alfred concern shouldn't apply only for Flo...

Flo literally joined Labor a week ago. DemPGH has been here for months now. I will personally vouch for his commitment to the party to anyone who doubts him.

Of course, that's not the only reason to vote for DemPGH. Anyone who's been following regional politics in recent weeks will be familiar with the parade of awful, irresponsible legislation that he has blocked as Governor.

We as the council voted unanimously against it. It would make sense to say that if we had passed the bill and he vetoed it

The Pacific Council's rules don't require that each bill be sponsored by a member of the legislature?

Not that I'm aware of.

He's also responsible for blocking another bill that could have been very helpful and effective in avoiding more car accidents which had the backing of Speaker Flo and Councilor Cranberry.

And the council and the Governor only struck down the Apple MacBooks bill after the Crisis Manager was strongly advising against wasteful spending for laptops and even going as far as threatening to lose the stimulus money.

With that said, I think the current leadership is doing a great job in itself on reviving the Pacific and Flo and DemPGH make a great team in their current positions and we can avoid a merge that way. I wasn't to fond of Flo's move to the Radical Gay Party then Labor then TPP then Labor again, so that's another reason for my vote:

1) DemPGH
2) Flo

I've always been against that bill?

Besides the Nay vote (which was after the outside outrage from it and evidence against it), you never did share your view on it....

But you're just assuming I was always supportive of it

[Flake]

Flo
Independent
Alaska

Flo, I'm not trying to be a jerk (although, perhaps more importantly, I'm not trying not to be a jerk), but this question needs to be asked: Why did you contest our primary if you weren't prepared to accept its result?

Because I believe I am the best person suited for Governor.

Besides, this party fits me, whether I'm elected or not I'll still re-join

[Flake]

I was always going to run whether or not I won the Labor primary because I genuinely believe that I will be the best person for the job. I contested it because, well, DemPGH ran, and we're both members of this party.
