Hello Whigs of Atlasia. Stand by for an address tomorrow.

[後援会]

Voting present. Too ignorant of the personalities to make an informed decision.

Following conclusion of voting, anyone know of, or desire to create, a list of Whig Party Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen? Not sure if one exists yet, but I think it'd require digging up the old "Communitarian Party of Atlasia" thread at the very least. This is for wiki purposes.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

After some research...

Chairman of the Whig Party of Atlasia
1. Pingvin (April 15th, 2012-May 23rd, 2012)
2. ZuWo (May 23rd, 2012-June 26th, 2012)
3. Simfan34 (June 26th, 2012-August 29th, 2012)
4. Clarence (August 29th, 2012-Present)

Vice-Chairman of the Whig Party of Atlasia
1. ZuWo (April 15th, 2012-May 23rd, 2012
2. Simfan34 (June 3rd, 2012-June 26th, 2012)
3. Clarence (July 28th, 2012-August 29th, 2012)

Of note, Pingvin is the only Chairman not to have served as Vice-Chairman. I plan on adding this to the atlas wiki, on our party's page, later today.

[ZuWo]

Thanks a lot for doing this, Cathcon!

Not out of dis-like for SSV, but 20RP12 has a lot of experience in Atlasia. (plus, this job might force him to quit the Senate race and let someone else change their mind about entering.)

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I saw that there already was a leadership page and chose to stick the list in there. Enjoy.

Is the Vice-Chairman vote over now? It has been more than 24 hours.

Click for my convention intro music

Hello Whigs of Atlasia! I have come to speak to address your fine convention on an important choice you have in front of you. In the coming weeks we will take part in a unique multi-party primary to decide who shall have the honor of continuing on to the general election with the blessing of both our groups.

Before I say anything else I would like to note that I respect tremendously Pingvin, and he has ruled well as IDS Judicial Overlord. He would without doubt energize the far-right of Atlasian politics. I however ask you for your vote in the upcoming primary becuase I feel I can do this job and make this race competitive. I will reach out to the right, the center, the left, commies, anarchists, and everyone in-between. I will do so without betraying my principals that I proudly hold. I will not just talk about "END THE FED!!!11!!", but rather I will discuss the crime that poor people must suffer the price of a devalued currency. I will not just talk about withdrawing every soldier from everywhere all at once, but I will talk about strengthening our defense with a common sense non-aggressive foreign policy that does not keep our forces stretched thin around the world. I will not just call for government to be scaled back, but instead make the case for sensible cuts that everyone can agree with.

I ask you for your support today becuase I feel I can take our case for good Government and build coalitions with it. I have a history of winning support from across the spectrum. Napoleon may be a tough incumbent to beat, but this is not about Napoleon, this is about fighting for what we believe in and doing what we can to improve Atlasia. As such I make this promise: I shall not engage in negative campaigning of any sort. Before we start getting into "tl;dr" territory I shall wrap this up.

Because I believe in positive campaigning I shall not give you any reasons why to reject Pingvin, I will just say this: If you choose me I will give you a positive campaign focused on the issues that matter, and more importantly the solutions. I will run a campaign full of optimism and I will stick to my principals.

Thank you all and Nym bless!

Unfortunately ZuWo and Cathcon got here after the voting had expired...I will expand voting time in the future if people feel it is too short

By a vote of 5 to 3, Supersonic is the new Whig Party Vice Chairman- congratulations!

Congratulations Supersonic. You've been added to the list and you got a little "officeholder" box at the bottom of your Atlas wiki page.

As per the last vote, this shall be up for 24 hours unless the Chairman deems otherwise.

Anyhow, Aye.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

While I appreciate the sentiment, I believe it is too black and white... for example this would exclude my school choice bills

I vote NAY

[Lambsbread]

Nay

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I would be very interested in working on a more comprehensive regional rights plank sometime down the line, but I agree that its current form is a little too restrictive.

Abstain

[Pingvin]

Aye

[Spamage]

aye

[Goldwater]

ABSTAIN

[TJ in Oregon]

Nay.

I support the federalist system outlined in the constitution instead.

[ZuWo]

I believe this plank needs more debate and clarification. Sorry for not having contributed anything to the discussion, I was way too busy with other things. So, while I agree with the main idea of this plank I vote

NAY

just because we need more debate on the issue.
