Sorry for the lack of any alcoholic beverages, we're holding the party in Elliott County, Kentucky.

[Lumine]

Third largest party, almost second in the Presidential election, Scott is now a Representative and Vicepresident DemPGH is now a Progressive (Welcome!), it's party time!

[windjammer]

You did an impressive score Lumine, congrats .

[Sbane]

You guys should have better party organization and loyalty, especially if you want to compete against Labor and the Federalists.

I'm actually very happy with how well we have done for a party that is one month old.

[Anna Komnene]

Actually, 90% of Progressive voters gave Lumine/Superique first preference and 100% gave them first or second.  And... we only got one vote less than labor in the presidential election.  Sounds like pretty good competition to me!

Yeah, but you could have had a Senate seat right now if you had stuck together.

We do have a senate seat. Tyrion and Superique are both great candidates, so I simply could not decide. It came down to more than PRO's success. I don't wish that PRO becomes similar to Labor where everyone is expected to be partisan and vote party-line.

The issue here is to show more expression of our Party, if we want it to grow!

Look, I totally understand why you voted for Tyrion. I know he won because he is such a good candidate. That being said you had a great choice in Superique as well as you admit, so why not vote for your party's candidate?

I didn't vote for Tyrion, I abstained. That being said, there are few circumstances where I would not vote for Superique. I enthusiastically cast my 1st preference to him and Lumine for Prez/VP. Tyrion is a friend of mine and has been a great governor, so I would have been happy to see either elected to the senate. I wasn't voting based on party, I was voting, or rather abstaining from voting, based on individuals.

First of all, PJ abstained from the vote because he couldn't choose. I voted for Tyrion. The reason is because I have seen how Tyrion has tried to improve the Pacific, and he did, and I thought he would be a great representative of all people here. This is nothing against Superique because I was truly undecided and at some points I leaned Tyrion, and at other points I leaned Superique, but I knew Superique is one of the best SoIA's that Atlasia has ever seen, and if he didn't get the vice presidency, I wanted him to stay as SoIA because it would be unbelievably difficult to find one as great as him. And that's why I voted for Tyrion, so we could get a great Senator and a great SoIA.

[Sbane]

My bad PJ. I forgot you abstained. Yes, Superique wouldn't be SoIA anymore but now Tyrion won't be governor anymore.

[President Tyrion]

For the record, I'd gladly endorse Superique for the SoIA position. He's basically created a model  for the position which future Secretaries should strive to match, and I should hope Duke sees it the same way.

[Lumine]

I realized that PJ is right, some way or another we now hold the Vice Presidency, an At-Large Senate seat, the Midwest governorship, the soon to be Pacific Governorship, and a Representative in every single Regional Government!

[DemPGH]

Thanks everybody! I get along well with literally everyone here, so it'll be my pleasure to work with you all. I'll offer a toast. . . I think in the coming months we can do some special things.

[DemPGH]

Yes, always good to see Scott active - and thanks, Siren. It's cool to see the center left so active and passionate about getting behind people. My hope was that our campaigns would cooperate.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Cheers!   Welome, DemPGH!  Congratulations and good job to those who ran this month, and thanks to the party for supporting me in my bid.

[PJ]

Bump. By-laws are amended in the first post.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I believe amendments to our platform is next?

[GAworth]

Yup, butafly has posted them in the Convention thread.
