Regional Protection Party

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

I may consider becoming a member of the RPP, but I have a bone to pick with the platform. I don't believe that the legality of abortion should be decided by the regional government. Although I stand for the rights of states, I fimly believe that a fetus should not be terminated and any fetus that is should be a reason to put the executor behind bars.

We have a lot of pro-lifers in the RPP, so you should be fine.

     Not to mention leaving the issue up to the states is the most conservative position any party would take here. Due to the largely leftist composition of the forum, many parties would be unwilling to take any position to the right of full legalization in the first two trimesters.

Yes, I have noticed that this forum is, for the most part, on the left. However, this party seems to be doing very well, all factors in consideration.

It helps that there are four liberal parties and only one conservative party.

True, that.

I have a question to the RPP in general. I see there is a national Senate election coming up. If I were to run, would I receive the support of the RPP, or would I be running against one of my own party? I know there are five nationally elected positions, but would it align with the party's goals that I run in this upcoming election?

No offense to yourself, but the party has determined the ceiling for our party electing candidates in the nationwide election is 2, and myself and SPC have already declared our intentions to run for re-election.  You may consider moving to a region such as the Mideast to run for senate in the next regional elections.

OK then. I will consider that. Why the ceiling of two, though?

We ran two candidates in the last election and both of us barely won. Any more and we would have certainly lost.

I see. I guess you would not want to split the vote. However, if we could gain the support of some independents, we could afford to run a third candidate.

You'd have to take a look at the results of the previous election and understand the PR-STV system we use here. After that and looking at the voter rolls, it will make sense why we only run two candidates. (Of course if we get more right leaning persons involved in the game, we may be able to run more candidates in the future.)

Then that should be a goal of ours. I believe we have 6 Senators at the moment, but there is really very little chance we can improve on that, considering that the Pacific is a dead region to us, according to DWTL. I am willing to pitch in for recruitment, if necessary. Really, if we lose another Senator, we will no longer have a majority, making it more difficult to pass our agendas.

6 in the Mideastthe forum.

The most important number in that equation

Just make sure to be smart about who you run in the Mideast Senate race against HW. As you know we tend to be an active region and not all that ideologically driven. The current Assembly and Governor have no had a single partisan struggle yet. And we tend to view HW favorably.

Just don't hurt your party image trying to get the seat.

Well obviously Inks would be our ideal candidate, but I don't think he wants to leave the executive branch.  It would be harming the interests of our party if we did not try to go after this seat, the only regional seat we do not hold that we can conceivably hold.

Oh, I'm not saying you shouldn't try. But make sure to pick a candidate that is an active and recognized member of the region or you risk losing more than just a race there. And yeah, Inks would be your ideal candidate, but we love him as Governor and hope to keep him there.

Well, I am a relatively new member, but I am sure that my running in any Senatorial election would not tarnish the reputation of the RPP. I am sure I can provide a new outlook on Atlasia and be a fresh face in Atlasian politics. Senator Realisticidealist was a very junior member when he ran and won his Senate race, and that only helped the JCP as a whole.

Inks will NOT be running.  Time to groom another candidate

I would like to throw my name on the table for early candidacy, so we can organize a runoff if necessary.
