Why four people I really like must be competing for one office?

Well, it makes things far more exciting, doesn't it?

ENDORSED!

Thanks, my friend! Pleased to have you on board!

Seen as Yankee already brought the spin machine, I'll be delivering a speech later today answering to the latest claim that bicameralism stops socialism (gods, what a risible argument to make).

[Lumine]

Yes, I complain about a move to the Left

Enthusiastically endorsed! This is the strong leadership we need in this age, and I'm proud to be on the same side as my old friend.

Spiral, thank you very much! Your endorsement will be crucial in the days ahead, and I'm grateful for your support.

Welcome to the race, Lumine; I look forward to the contest ahead.

Thanks, Truman! I look forward to it as well, I think we'll have a lot of fun debating about the Atlasia we want to see.

Well, you can't say this campaign hasn't garnered a lot of attention!

I'll be drafting a speech on national security and our national defence soon, an issue in which I think we need a far more detailed debate, and more action considering the latest questionable actions of the Administration on the war in Korea:

International News

Korean War update September 24th
The Uk, and France have sent troops to go help South Korea defend Seoul to try and dive North Korean troops out of South Korea. Meanwhile Chinese troops have almost reached Pyongyang and look ready for a ground invasion of the city. China is noted to have grown frustrated with Atlasia; after the country is yet to send troops to fight North Korea.

Needless to say, it's disappointing and distressing to see we are not engaged as we should to win this war as early and decisively as possible.

I agree bicameralism was always a freaking travesty.

Indeed!

Why not reducing the number of representatives instead of abolishing it?

Personally I would also support this, but you'd achieve a target of less offices under the unicameral proposal I put forward. Still, cutting the House down by two or four members would be a good idea.

Also, for the record, I'm not interested in validating whatever Griffin says or efforts of his own.

I was very pleased to hear from the distance that Atlasia at last had a female President, something which clearly should have happened long ago. The idea of a resolute female President from the center-right seemed excellent at the time in which I rejoined.

That is partly why I wasn't pleased to learn that said Presidency came to be on account of two consecutive Presidential resignations which, combined with other distressing news I've heard, frankly seem very questionable.

I was even less pleased to see this large-scale attempt at portraying someone who was a Laborite until not long ago, and a member of the far-left not long ago, as the future of the Atlasian center-right. I simply fail to see how the President can truly espouse those values, unless a historic damascene conversion happened here.

It's not irresponsible conspiracy theories (at least not to me or others), so I feel free to make those criticisms as a citizen and as a Presidential candidate. It is also why I won't make false excuses about Yankee's criticism of my actions as Vice-President, because I can freely admit that is one of the few moments in which I've been inactive in office (with personal reasons for it, but still a mistake on my behalf).

[Lumine]

I don't suppose I could ask you take this outside this campaign thread?

Could people please stop hijacking this particular thread?

What the hell, I shall do so.
