What about the Althing, Pacific Council, or Mideast Assembly?

Those aren't in the same timeframe as the Convention.

This is already covered by the section below. I don't see anything wrong with a 72-hour nomination period.

The problem with this is, well... say one person writes in "[10] Write-in: Dave Leip". The average score for Dave Leip would be 10 and he would be endorsed without input from anybody else.

According to our by-laws, we can petition for endorsements, so there's no need to write-in when you can just endorse them separately.

[PJ]

Aye to 1-4, nay to five

I also endorse GAworth for the position of Party Chair.

I'd like to suggest to whoever is the party chair to explain how score voting works whenever we hold a vote.  I think it confuses people and leads to less people voting. 

This is a good idea.

What?

[PJ]

I'd like to propose a couple more planks to the platform:

Will the platform replace what is currently in intro to Atlasia?

[PJ]

Choice A for LGBT rights
Abstain on abortion (I would support a rewrite)
Aye on all else (but I'd be open to strengthening our game reform stance)

[PJ]

Now that we have a platform, we're finally a proper party!

Bring out the baked goods, everyone!

[PJ]

Yes I will.

[PJ]

I will also be addressing the convention on my reelection campaign for Vice-Chair.


I have seen the Progressive Union grow from individual ideas to a successful political force. When I first joined Atlasia, I saw Scott and IBDD choosing to become underdogs and lead their own new parties, Light and Union of National Democrats. In June, I founded the Social Democrats, which was one of the smallest parties in Atlasia. I worked with Lumine and IBDD to merge and create the Civic Union. I also worked with butafly to merge and create the great party I am proud to be a member of. Since joining this party, I have seen the success of our members, I have worked to recruit many new forumites, and I even assisted on a presidential campaign! We've come a long way from our small ideas, but we still have a long way to go. I ask you to reelect me and help our party to grow.

[PJ]

Chair:

Abstain

Vice-Chair:

Me

[PJ]

Thanks to all of you for voting! I am honored to remain Vice-Chair. Also, congratulations to Siren!

[PJ]

Don't we need a location for the next convention?

Nah, that vote would be at the beginning of February.

Okay
