[Gass3268]

I humbly request the endorsement of The People's Party for the upcoming Mideast election. If anyone has any questions just shoot!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Okay, friends. Candidates wishing to receive The People's Party's endorsement for the upcoming special senate election, Mideast assembly, and the IDS legislature election. Candidates have 48 hours to declare!

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I should point out, considering my role in the Cabinet I will not be involved in internal party processes.

I don't need to redeclare right?

I humbly request the endorsement of this party for the upcoming Senate election

[Dereich]

I request The People's endorsement for the IDS legislature election.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I encourage my friends within the party to second-preference former Secretary of External Affairs Clarence.

In addition to Talleyrand, I hope that The People will support either former Game Moderator Shua or former Governor Zuwo in the Mideast Assembly election. (I would also like to see Gass and Inks win reelection.)

Well, the last two better declare here before midnight or we can't endorse them.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I am pleased to announce The Party has adopted a team in the NCAA basketball tournament. We must throw out support behind The People's Team, the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles!

I believe of speak for The People when I say, GO EAGLES!

[Zanas]

You People are like the best ! I didn't even declare and you still endorsed me ! I love you. And I'll have a pint too, if that's possible.

I also did not close the voting booth. I guess after fezzy broke my heart by dropping out, I couldn't bare to do anything else.

The People's Goodnight

Since September, The People's Party has led Atlasia through its actions, its grace and its dignity. But tonight, The People are going into The Night. The Party was founded on the basic principles that a strong community, a solid team, strong ethics, and a solid goal could take a party to places previously thought impossible. We proved that not only could a party of 16 members hold 5 senate seats, it could also hold 3 in one cycle, run a newspaper, elect a VP, and be home to some of the best senators in the game. The People were a culmination of Atlasia's best and brightest of the center-left, and it showed that when we, The People, work together, nothing can stop us but ourselves. And now, the center-left must work together to accomplish the ideals we hold so dear.

And tonight, we recognize that The Future is out there. The People must go forth into the world, mindful of our past, and hopeful of our future. Tonight, this project, known as The Party, ends. But The People will go on. We are always present, always willing to listen, and always walking with our heads up, listening to that butterfly fluttering its wings under the oak tree. The People will live on now and forever. On behalf of all of us in The People's Party, we say thank you to those who supported us throughout this endeavor. It truly represented the Power of The People.

Now it is time to leave...

Wait what ?

TPP just disbanded ? How did this happen exactly ? There were no harbinger I could see... I liked your party and your biergarten.

[Kitteh]

So, with the passage of the We Need More Political Parties Amendment (if that is indeed valid, I know there was some court case surrounding it but I'm not sure what the outcome was), The People's Party is officially a major party again. There are three people still registered with TPP: AndrewPA, Franzl, and BluegrassBluevote, which is enough for it to qualify for major party status.

Is anything going to happen with this? Since Franzl has left the forum he'll eventually be de-registered, but if anyone wanted to resurrect this now would be the time.
