JFK, States, King

Thanks for responding I thought I was going to be the only person who believes this game has gotten too complicated and less fun than it was in the past.

It would be more fun if you'd voted for me Tongue (j/k).

Wildcard, are you on your fourth term as Governor?

Yeah I am sorry about that bro... Your campaign didn't seem too serious and you were already our best best President so I thought it'd be good to give someone else a chance. No hard feelings I hope. Smiley

and yes... Unless the constitutional convention yields a repeal of term limits this will be my final term.

Haha, well, do you want it to repeal the term limit? lol, I was kidding man, no need to apologise Smiley. I may run for Governor if you can't, dunno.....

You have given an example where IRV is not perfect but no voting system is perfect. I would prefer the flaws of IRV over some candidate being elected with 20% of the vote.

Well then what about FATP with a runoff if no one gets over 50% of the vote?

I.E. 2nd Ballot System - what they use in the French presidential election.

Let's just get rid of the government all together.  A royal family where the line of succession is based on post count and the President changes every month.  Sure we will have President Opebo and Boss Tweed early on...but we will get over it. Tongue

What about we just appoint the guy who has won the most consecutive elections running for the same office and spent the most consecutive months serving in that office the King of Atlasia and leave it at that? Tongue

Hmmm, if I'd only stayed in the Senate longer that would be me.....lol. Nice try WildCard Tongue.

One change that could be considered is to end the 72 hour election and go with a 24 hour period.  It would lower turnout, but everyone should take note of voters like sarnstrom and skybridge who don't participate in fantasy politics getting in at the late stages of elections and voting for extreme candidates.

A 24 hour election instead of 72 would cut down on the ability of left and right parties to shuttle in these voters.

And in this election would've declared me the winner Grin. Haha
