The Public White House: Constitutional Convention at FINAL VOTE!

[afleitch]

I see fairness, balance, and respectfulness weren't on the list of criteria when you were deciding who to appoint.

I chose those who I believed would be competent. I chose those who I knew would be active. I did not take ideology or personality into account because that has nothing to do with how I plan to run my administration. I think the number of Atlasian political parties represented in the Cabinet can attest to that.

If all people focus on is personality contests and false ideological lines in the sand, this game is doomed. We need reform and we need it now. My administration has no time for ego trips and left/right debates.

Mr President Spectator and Society; you have nominated a noted forum apologist for Maoism and the extreme left (and it's excesses) for the post of SoIA. Would you ever be willing in the future to nominate a Falangist or apologist of the extreme right for a similar role if they were proven to be competent?

Oops! Posted in Chris' account by accident. Re-post.

See, I hate Winston and I despise his views (as I despised his previous ones). But how the hell would his maoism endanger his ability to properly exerce his duties ? I really fail to see it. As for Al, all his posts prove that he is anything but a blind hack.

Really, all those shoutings about how evil the new administration is sounds more and more like the whining of losers. Atlasia deserves more than Tea Parties.

Antonio; if this is anyway a government sim, then no democratic government would propose to put a Maoist in a senior cabinet position. To not call out on that, or react to it as part of the game would be unusual. As for Al, I have every confidence in Al So much so I expect to hear quite alot from the GM in terms of the international response to Atlasia having a Maoist in cabinet

WTF ? You are ChrisOB ?!?

No. ChrisOB is my partner. I'm at his house, on his computer and posted without realising he was still signed in. If proof be needed of his existance you can find photos of us on here and a relationship tag on Facebook

As a matter of fact yes. I considered NCY for a Cabinet post, but he made clear that he would prefer to maintain the RPP presence in the Senate, rather than join my administration.

Honestly, my nominees should not be judged on their ideologies because that is not what they will be doing very much with. My administration will be all game reform, all legitimacy of the Executive, and all activity and competence. I don't plan on jumping into the fray on divisive ideological issues; you all can do those once I'm gone.

PS, I would not consider NYC to be 'far right' or remotely Falangist, so I'm not sure what you think I meant when I said would you nominate someone of the 'far right'; if it helps any better think of the other 'f' ideology (rather than Falangist)
