August 2012 Election Tracker

[Napoleon]

Great work Bacon. Thanks for putting this together!

[Napoleon]

I can absolutely understand someone voting Seatown over BK, considering BK's very fly-boy, love-em-and-leave-em approach to Atlasia he's had in the past.

Wormyguy has missed a majority of votes during his term and recently was expelled but still scored higher approvals than Seatown.

[Napoleon]

You forgot the part where he attacked the only other Senator from the Labor Party as being a right winger. And my personal favorite, the bloodthirsty hounds comment, which he could have got away with but apparently didn't realize that while you can get away with being an ass to some people some times, you can't get away with being an ass to everyone all the time.

[Napoleon]

I don't know who to vote for as no one has sent me any money all weekend. Has AndrewCT lost? If so, should I just not vote for him despite our romance in the past? And if Marokai is safe, would it be wrong to vote vote for him considering I think he needs to be in the senate? And what of hagrid and Clarence? And BK, even though he trashed me during his campaign? Why are there so many running? Why hasn't anyone written me in? Am I that forgotten?

Andrew wrote you in.

[Napoleon]

Our party is nothing like the Liberal Democrats. Almost all recent and even distant left wing progress stems from Liberals in this game, except Antonio and Marokai. You should look into our actual policies before criticizing us.

Seatown and Snowstalker have ran a very negative campaign. As President I have worked to help pass many of Seatown's efforts so for me its disappointing.

The newer Labor members don't remember what it was like the last time the Left was divided. I think they should ask around.

[Napoleon]

This power grab nonsense is ridiculous. I have been happy to help Labor Party members get into office, as anyone in the Northeast can attest. As for your other drivel, look at how many Labor voters vote straight Labor for their top three in this election and compare that to the Liberals. Even our candidates didn't vote straight party line! In the Northeast, Liberals supportedin Labor candidates over some of our own party and we lost a seat.We are more than happy to work with other parties. And I think most of Labor is too, excepting a small and divisive minority.

I will give you credit for having the guts to go before the Whigs and ask them to preference you, while you vote against Whig candidates that don't even have opponents.

[Napoleon]

For the record, I was one of only five people to approve of Seatown in the last poll. 5/18 total (22%).

[Napoleon]

The Senate is not a mess. The debate is much more policy-focused than before and interest is higher than before as evidenced by the number of good candidates and return of previous members. The party backed me in June because I have proven to be a very strong advocate for progressive views as Senator, Governor and now as President. No one in the Liberal Party was complaining about being Labor's sidekick in April when most Liberals voted for Labor candidates. You also didn't seem to have this attitude when you were asking to be my running mate and whatever you said publicly after my election doesn't excuse the fact that you continued to trash me behind the scenes. I am not going to pile on the Labor Party because of a few bad apples like yourself and I hope to continue our strong working relationship.

[Napoleon]

    If Labor and Liberal are supposed to blindly back each other, then what purpose did the party split even serve? At least the duopoly of JCP and RPP was more honest about its state of affairs.

No one is asking for the parties to back each other blindly but there is no reason not to cooperate on common goals. The right wing parties are essentially trying to consolidate anyway so this is a strange criticism.

    What aren't common goals between the Liberals and the Laborites? Considering how buddy-buddy you folks have been seeking to become, alliance between the Whigs and the Bloc is a natural reaction.

That is a strange take on history given the fact that since dissolution, every right wing ticket has been Whig/Bloc while no left wing ticket has had Liberal and Labor together.

[Napoleon]

Which seven?

[Napoleon]

Franzl has been doing the work of the Mideast Court lately. It isn't very demanding.

[Napoleon]

Cincinnatus is JBach. Fritz is invalid.

[Napoleon]

There are 102 valid voters, so the quota is 18, MaxQue, no?

I count 101.

Me too. But Fritz is invalid and Cincinnatus is valid.

[Napoleon]

Franzl didn't win? Dang...

Oh well, we tried.

well a couple certain individuals got their wish, unfortunately for the Senate. Franzl would have done a great job. I also think Andrew has a strong role to play in the future, so overall I am happy for the candidates I endorsed. This is also a good day for the Liberal Party, being the only party to gain seats, and Atlasia overall for a strong turn out.

[Napoleon]

I am glad that the Labor candidate who did win, though, was the only one who didn't advocate an unholy alliance win the Whigs. Hopefully this means the end of such divisive partisanship. I am looking forward to the next session but, don't expect tranquility just because the election ended.

[Napoleon]

That's fine. As President, well, I can't really avoid it.

I will say that its nice seeing you around more!
