Survey Atlasia - August At-large Senate Elections Poll

[DownWithTheLeft]

SPC or Rowan are my top choices, PS or Franzl may get my first preference if our candidates have safely reached quotas and it will keep Afleitch out

[DownWithTheLeft]

So out of the serious candidates I have the least number of votes. Well, I guess many people will be surprised on election day then.

As much as people hate it, and I love it, there is like a 0% chance you don't win

[DownWithTheLeft]

Oh for goodness sakes, will everyone take a chill pill. Antonio is just saying that just because the DA has the most votes in this poll is doesn't mean they're preferred.
The DA has it's base of comparatively small support, and it gets secondary support from both the other major parties. The JCP votes for itself, and the DA over the RPP. The RPP votes for itself, and the DA over the JCP. This leads DA numbers to be inflated in a poll that doesn't take into account our voting system, and make it seem like tons of people love the DA and want them all in the Senate.

The realities of our voting system are unfortunate, but there you are.

I tend to agree; which is why I feel I am probably the most vulnerable sitting Senator. The system is also heavily influenced by GOTV which in my view is a good thing. I think the DA is good at attracting a broad base, but that may not translate into winning seats.

No, there is a whole nother reason you are the most vulnerable senator

[DownWithTheLeft]

Which is?

My willingness to do whatever it takes to make sure Purple State or Franzl is the DA member that is carried across the finish line

[DownWithTheLeft]

I found it hilarious that I am being accused of partisanship here.  The last thing I should be accused of is partisanship considering the fact that I have made it known that I will vote against my party and may have others in the party follow the same to keep Afleitch of the senate.  Does it have to do with the fact that Afletich is a horrid senator and a enemy of the RPP?  Of course, but its not because he is a member of the DA

Now that one is new! How have I been 'horrid'?

Your support of some dispicable bills including ramming a homosexual agenda down the throat of Atlasians.  Endorsing homosexuality over heterosexuality is as dangerous as not recognizing homosexuality

WTF? I am beginning to think you are now just jesting a little

Not at all, the bill was dispicable.  You and other senators put how another country treats homosexuals above free trade to stimulate our economy.  You claim to be "free trade" and economically conservative, but then you shut trade down with pretty much the entire Middle East and a few other countries for some feel good legislation

Note that I was absent from the Senate for the amended bill. My original bill ended free trade (not all trade) with a select few nations.

The orignial bill was just as a much of a feel-good cop out

[DownWithTheLeft]

The orignial bill was just as a much of a feel-good cop out

By that definition so were the terms within the Middle East Peace Act

Middle East Peace Act that I did with Franzl or the second one?  I am unfamiliar with the 2nd one other than knowing it exists

[DownWithTheLeft]

The first one. Was that not driven for your personal belief that the current situation was unnacceptable and that we should use our aid levy power to rectify it?

Apples and oranges.  The Middle East Peace Act was a solely foreign policy act that aimed to try and end a conflict that is tettering on the brink of all out war.  The average every day Atlasian was in no way effected and it could not possibly have had a negative effect on the economy as it threatened to withold funds, not allocate them.

The LGB Trade Act uses sexual orientation as a measuring stick for which countries Atlasians could do business with.  It said if you don't agree with our position on gays, we are going to screw our businesses over and not let them trade with you easily

As I said, there is a difference between no holds barred free trade and trade. Nothing stops us trading with these nations.

I don't have anything further to add.

What kind of unbashed economic conservative would put how a country treats there homosexuals over free trade?  The answer so you have nothing else to add: NONE

[DownWithTheLeft]

I did not initatite that bill and only supported it in a watered down fashion that gives the regions the final say on anything
