"Raise the Standard" Coalition

[12th Doctor]

I think we need to raise the standard.  18 posts was the set limit when the fantasy government did not deal with real issues and, on average, a new poster logged on every 3 days.  Today, we have 3 new posters a day and the issues are far more complex.

Raise it to 50.

Since it takes 50 to be a Junior Member, 100 to be a Full Member, and 250 to be a Senior Member those would be logical breakpoints for voter, Senator, and President respectively, if we should choose to increase the values.

Agreed.

I am recently registered, and have decided to play a part I don't play in real life, the average uninformed voter.  Many people are, in the words of an old poli sci text of mine, "voting specialists."  Their sole political participation is voting on election day.

In real life, I vote, contribute to campaigns, have worked on campaigns, ran for office, been elected to office, and still advise sitting candidates/officeholders/staff.  This is quite a change, but I want to keep the real world and my fantasy life separate.  :-)

I'd like to represent the "voting specialists" here and make this a little closer to a "real life" simulation.  On that basis, I do not favor the change.

What have you been elected too?

I have a couple of ideas about who he is.  I've Google Searched his name.  I won't reveal anything unless he does though.
