[#CriminalizeSobriety]

I wish to be the next Chairman of this great party, but I feel as if I ought to explain why, and what I envision the ideal Chairman to be.

The Chairman ought to be somebody who can represent the party in every sense: the temperament, ideology, and disposition. The Chairman must be the face of, and the leader of the party, aswell as a diplomat to the leaders of other parties, and a cool head in a hot situation. I believe I am able to represent the party ideologically - a choice palatable to both shua and Andrew, or Morgan and wormyguy. I have also demonstrated a level head when dealing with members of other parties, and have established friendships, aswell as maintained good relations with, members of all other parties. I will continue to be both of these things as Chair, if elected.

I know many of us may be disheartened with the recent banning of Libertas, perhaps our most senior member. I was probably the most saddened - he was among, if not my first friend on the forum, and was an early ally in Atlasia. I have witnessed other departures from the party, each for different reasons - whether it be Winston and Giovanni, or Einzige, or SPC, etc.  Regardless, if the Populares want to continue to succeed, we must be the party of hope, the party of the future, not the party of members since gone.

I have been a member of this great party since it's founding, and I've seen us have highs and lows. I know these times may be disheartening, but I believe that our best days are long ahead of us, and as Chairman I will do my best to lead us to those days.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei!

Yeah, but the Chairman should also be a man of extreme Sexual Charisma.
Which is why I believe I should be Chairman.

Also, if you vote for me I promise I won't kill you later.

Voting now ends - I ask our official tabulator, Shua, to tabulate the results.

I will open the vote for our endorsements, and encourage everybody to vote quickly.

Just a bit of clarification, this is "Who does the party endorse?", not "How are you voting?"

[tpfkaw]

Well, it's how we're telling our drones to vote.

Seems our races weren't very competitive:

A Presidential election of similar competitiveness, as an example:

so you took a vote of 9 and extrapolated it to a national election? and me and Mechaman are the Dems? and DC, really?! you can't even give us the beautiful mountains of VT, you have to give us the pork swamp?

[tpfkaw]

Well, it was 88.8%-11.1% . . .

I did you as the Dems b/c otherwise you wouldn't win anything . . .

We have to wait for N!K to officially certify the results, but Dallas and I are unanimously endorsed for 1st and 2nd preference, respectively, while no other candidate gets the required 50%+1 to receive an endorsement from the Populares.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

These are the victors, and by the apparent power vested in me, are certified as the victors. Congratulations, new and old officeholders.

[tpfkaw]

Provided he accepts, I renominate N!K for Deputy Whip.
