This'll be fun...
Narrowing it down to just one reason: Labor's track record in my region.
You mean saving it from inactivity?
Trying to disenfranchise people hardly promotes activity.
These are the kind of things that might make me resign from my post and leave the game, even having been newly elected
In all seriousness, you're still with the same ill-minded conspirative theories and it seems to be impossible extract the idea from your minds in spite of having discussed this up to the exhaustion.
You have a lot of registered members down here in the South. How many of them are active and contribute ideas for the region? On the other hand, do you like the idea of having political opponents to make the game slightly funny or your idea of the game is having dull and uncontested elections? I think you should consider this question, honestly.
Ideological reasons. Nothing's gonna change that (except for of course some endorsements thrown my way, but we all know how that works), thanks for trying though.
How curious, I have the same problem with the Feds. No, actually only with a few of them. I suppose that there's a cultural factor here, given that in the US the word 'socialist' is taboo, while in Europe socialdemocracy is a mainstream ideology.
I remember something about one of those stupid arguments about 'Operation Cottonfield' and the like. Someone (I think Jbrase, excuse me if I'm wrong) expressed a fear of seeing The South turning into a "far left region". I read a few dabates in the Legislature between Laborites, Feds and 'moderates' and I don't see an actual ideological clash. In general terms everybody is polite and cooperative. But you know, leftists are the evil. I think that I'm slightly more moderate than Griffin or Zanas but, I don't know why, I suspect that some of you regard me as a kind of extremist. In fact the only far-left in Atlasia is the Cultural Marxist thing, that is essentially a joke.
Well, my presidential vote would have likely been different if it weren't for the annexation and electoral college proposals...
I didn't like those proposals and maybe that's the reason why I put a write-in as first preference. However, Marokai-Duke was the only competent and competitive ticket in this election, in my opinion.
