JCP plot?

I came up with the idea. I do not like the JCP.

Yes, but that's just what you would say if you were a JCP plant isn't it.

The Anti-Region Regionalists!
December 2nd, 2009

When you think the Atlasian Right has reached the height of hypocrisy, you find out they can climb even higher!

Introduced yesterday, an Amendment to allow regions the ability to determine the way they elected their representative, alone or in partnership with other regions, was introduced. The proposal had the goal of encouraging regions along the way of encouraging their competitiveness in their regional Senate elections, and an increased and excited electorate, all done in a regional rights setting!

The best of both worlds! Or one might think. Indeed, despite the fact that it's the most region-friendly game reform proposal introduced in recent months, the forces lining up in opposition consist mostly of the Status Quo Protection Party.

The response from The Regionalist teddy bear?

That's right, the regionalists killed him. Way to go, guys. RIP Regionalist bear.

Yes, like past reform efforts, this argument against doesn't really have anything to do with the proposal at hand, or if it does, it consists mostly of flat-out ignorance of what the proposal entails. It's, instead, the VAST ANTI-REGION CONSPIRACEE creeping it's supposedly ugly head once more. Somehow, the proposal to give regions more power amounts to killing regions. Let's watch.

No, the purpose is a few people trying to basically create 10 at-large seats, hoping that all the regions band together to elect 5 "regional" Senators.

Looks, lets face it the first move will be the Pacific and Midwest combining so that the JCP can score an easy double victory. Perhaps then a merger of the Northeast and Mideast to keep the RPP from winning the Mideast seat.  We see what the idea is here, to increase liberal power

It strikes me as the perfect vehicle for people who want to abolish the regional Senate seats.

Oooh, spooky. DWTL, funny enough, made the closest thing to the classic "LEFTIST POWER GRAB" said so far in the "debate." I said "debate" of course, because this is all scaremongering nonsense not at all related to the issue at hand.

This proposal leaves everything up to the regions, right down to the voting system they want. It lets regions decide if they want to enter into a "Senate Partnership" with other regions and then holds a referendum, and the two partners then elect their regional Senators together, their positions and voters combined. The partnership can be broken off at any time by a simple majority vote by any of the regions in the agreement.

It leaves everything up to the regions if they want to increase competition and excitement in their races. It's a great idea, and probably my favorite game reform proposal ever brought forward, and once that deserves interesting discussion, not freak-outs and weaving supposed leftist conspiracies.

The hypocrisy of the opposition is clear. They oppose allowing regions to determine the way they elect their representative, and why? Because they don't like it that way. They've become just as authoritarian in their reasoning as those that want the federal government to abolish all regional Senate elections. They want to preserve the status quo, they don't want to protect regions, and this fact ought to be remembered now and forever. They are not, NOT, a "regional protection" party. It is a farce.

The most regionalist Senator in debate? Franzl.

So, for the record, you support overruling the will of the regions in order to maintain "one senator, one region"?

Can a region or can it not vote to remove its regional representation?  I again cite Xahar's election that flukes can happen in elections that do not reflect the view of the people

You clearly demonstrate that you couldn't give a s**t about regional rights.

As for DWTL's question in the above quote, the answer here is no. The only way he could come to that idea is if he had absolutely no frakking clue what the Amendment said, which wouldn't surprise me. Scream first, debate later, the creed of the Atlasian Right.

The Regional Protection Party should be recognized far and wide as nothing more than an electoral ploy. A nice-sounding name and cute ideology of "regional protection" to rally their voters, but it is all a fraud. The RPP doesn't support regional rights anymore than I support a flat tax. They support regional rights when it benefits them politically, but when it's regions doing something they don't like, they drop "regional rights" like a blazing potato.

Remember remember, the 2nd of December. The day the RPP turned into a lie.

You are definitely my hero. This Amendment proposal is probably the better idea to intelligently reform the system and protect regional rights. But DWTL&co fear too much to lose their little power... Hopefully, this will pass. I will make all that I can to help it to pass, and then I will ensure that NE will enter in Senate partnerships with any other region.
Congratulations for your work, and don't give up.

Antonio, you really flatter me too much.

You can't ensure anything in the Northeast.

I can at least force people to actively consider this, and since most of NE legislators are intellignet people interested in building a better Atlasia, I have much hope to succeed.

Antonio, you really flatter me too much.

Nah, you really deserve it.

Antonio, he really doesn't deserve that much. The ides didn't spring full-grown like Athena out of Marokai's head.

I'm only sickening in your narrow-minded social con brain. And no, not really, seeing as I don't like Churchill (who failed to repeal most of the nationalisation and welfare crap Attlee passed) and Disraeli (pro-war) that much anymore.
