TPTTAA Poll - Right Unity - How about now?

[tpfkaw]

There's really not much in common between the Populares and the RPP.

I have certainly have little-to-nothing in common ideologically with the people on our supposed "unity ticket".

Yeah, the AndrewCT ticket just about reached the level of pointlessness.  He probably voted far more often with Bgwah than Libertas in the last Senate.

     It was better than nothing, though one election cycle I would actually like to see the RPP/POP back a ticket running on a genuinely conservative/libertarian platform. It's not like we'll win over any JCPers regardless of what we run on.

True.

I actually think this is the problem with the game. A strong, united left dominates national fantasyland politics. When one goes back to the active periods of Atlasia, one will find that the right and left were far more evenly matched than now. Nym won with only one vote in the first Presidential election, after all.

Given that and other evidence it seems that the Atlas used to be far more conservative than it is now.  Is that true?

It's also important to vote the impact Naso had on the race. He basically poached all the RPP voters and then didn't even second preference our ticket. The right will never, ever win elections as long as we have technical issues like that. If we want to remain in the minority, we can continue our current course.

You received 42 first preferences.  Naso received 12.  Fritz received 52.  3 of Naso's voters ranked Fritz second, and therefore presumably would have ranked him first in a two-way.  You lost, Naso or no Naso.

     What if we had a ticket along the line of Inks/Dallasfan? Both guys with distinctly right-of-center credentials, proven track records, & who both command a significant amount of respect.

I would enthusiastically endorse that ticket.

That's the problem the right has. Neither candidate has shown any sort of interest in the office and would only run out of a sense of duty for the office. Inks was going to run last year and dropped out because he didn't have the time. The last time anyone that could be considered right of center won was afleitch, and he's hardly a far-rightist. What on earth makes anyone think a right wing ticket could win? Plus, wormguy seconded the JCP ticket, so why is he complaining?

I seconded your ticket (after several joke writeins).  I must admit I did consider seconding the JCP out of spite, after you thirded me after Barnes in the senate special election (projecting much?), and had earlier decided to attack me for no particular reason.  However, since it was close, and I didn't want to be an as$hole, I nevertheless gave your ticket my functional second choice.  I'm not sure where your bizarre hostility towards me is coming from, since I don't recall ever having any sort of argument with you before, but you can rest assured I will not be voting for any ticket with you on it in the future.
