1. Lots of candidates talk about activity, but fail to deliver. Perhaps because of a general lack of care for the game, or perhaps because it is more pleasant to deal with an inactive legislature of supporters than an active legislature of opponents, many have ended up only managing the decline rather than actually making a difference. What assurances and evidence can you give the public that you actually still care about the game and will work to make it more reliably active?
I have been active on the Atlas Fantasy board - the board most people see and in order for this game to be active, the game needs to have a mix of competitive elections and drama and I certainly produce drama and I have gotten people to run in elections before and in my opinion I have made the game more fun.
2. COVID-19, while in a weakened state, remains a potential threat to Atlasia in the coming months. Do you believe our nation is currently mounting an effective response to the virus, and are there any additional measures, such as a vaccine mandate, that you believe should be enacted?
I would recommend people who haven't been vaccinated to be vaccinated or to get their booster and I oppose mask and vaccine mandates - the pandemic is over in my opinion and we should invest into research to find a vaccine which prevents you from getting COVID instead of mitigating the symptoms of COVID like MB said.
3. Should the next administration seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban or enact other gun legislation? If not, how should we respond to mass shootings beyond offering our condolences?
The next President shouldn't reinstate the assault weapons ban and I would only support an assault weapons ban if the military and police can't use assault weapons, and I am satisfied with the current status of gun control and I am fine with regions legislating on gun control and I hope the next President is as well.
4. In the event of a vacancy on the Supreme Court, what standards would you use in evaluating who to nominate? What weight would ideological consistency hold as compared to fitness for the role? Would you condition your decision on an agreement to vote against any current precedent of the court?
I hope the next President appoints someone who cares about the game and I would want the prospective nominee be confirmed with a strong mandate regardless of party because fundamentally, the supreme court is a institution which bypasses partisanship.
Question for Ishan: During your time in the game, you have leaped around the parties, at times being in Labor, but at other times creating or joining various smaller third parties. Do you have an actual consistent ideology, and if so, what is it?
While my choice of partisanship has been volatile, I have always been a liberal.
1. The Neolib Administration has presided over an expansion to the presidential cabinet, namely the reinstation of the Secretary of Internal Affairs and separating the offices of SOFE and RG. Do you agree with these changes? If so, would you seek to further expand the cabinet by say adding back the national archivist or adding a deputy GM?
I agree with these changes and I support my bill which I proposed to reform the Game Moderation team, and I oppose a national archivist unless there is someone who works on the wiki without the title, and I hope the next President rewards them with that title for their efforts to work on the wiki.
2. Was Politics Fan vs The South, which says there is a right to abortion in the Atlasian Constitution, correctly decided?
I support the current status quo of abortion being decided by the regions, and I sponsored or cosponsored an amendment a while back with PPT Cao to give full control of abortion to the regions and I hope the amendment or a version of it gets ratified one day so yes, it was correctly ratified.
3. Do you believe Atlasia is currently doing enough to fight climate change and develop renewable energy? If not, what additional measures would you enact?
Atlasia has done a lot to fight climate change, and as a global leader in fighting climate change I think we should pressure and encourage other countries to contribute their fair share and doing more towards fighting against climate change.
4. What reforms, if any, should Atlasia enact for its police force to help prevent events of "police brutality"? Is it appropriate to "defund" the police (figuratively or literally)?
We have passed many reforms to help prevent police brutality and I personally think police should represent the communities they are policing more and the police should have a more "open" environment towards minorities and I support auditing the police and reinvesting the waste into ensuring that police can be held accountable and into other programs which will help sustain law and order and trust.
