Partisan selection of delegates for Constitutional Convention.

[Senator Cris]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Parties registered as Conservative:
- Federalist Party
- Civic Renewal

Progressive:
- Labor Party
- Northeast National Party

Centrist:
- The People's Party

The People's Party and the Northeast National Party registered after the deadline and so I'm not sure we should accept their registration, but don't forget that we need to select 1 centrist delegate.

After that the "controversy" about these two parties will be resolved, there will be a 48-hours nomination period and then a 48-hours final STV vote.

[Senator Cris]

Partisan is right.

Why was there not even one delegate position left open for an independent?

I brought this issue up days ago, and I see nothing has been done to correct this travesty of justice.

This Con Con is not fully representative of the diverse elements that make up Atlasia.

This is simply being railroaded through so these partisan hacks can control the agenda.

Well, it's a bill approved by the Senate and it can't be corrected.
Thinking better about it, I agree with you. There should have been at least 1 delegate for Independents, but I fully understand the sentiments behind the bill approved by the Senate.
For some people 60% of delegates elected by people is not high, but I'd like to remember that we reached enough candidates for the position just few minutes before the deadline, so the Senate was right in let oneself the right of selecting 40% of delegates.
There are 2 parties (TPP, NNP) that registered after the deadline. We might include them or we might let the centrist spot for an Independent. I'd like to hear from the Senators and from all of you.

[Senator Cris]

Nominations are still not open.
What should we do with TPP/NNP?

[Senator Cris]

     Reading the bill, it sounds like people can nominate themselves for consideration here. Should we post a thread on the main AFE board asking for people to do so?

I think that only Senators can nominate.

I like RPryor's proposal. I'd suggest to insert TPP in the centrist category and NNP in the progressive category. Then I think we should nominate candidates that were not elected in the election and in this case, Independents should be included among centrists.

     So do we wait until after the elections to vote? I think that would work in terms of getting the people we want to get.

That's ok with me, but it's a little strange. Having TPP/NNP is not a problem, but the problem might be the presence of independents.
I'd be ok with independents in the centrist category, but rules that we have approved do not require to have independents selected by the Senate. I'd prefer having independents in, but there is the danger that someone will doubt about the validity of ConCon only because we inserted an independent and the rules don't require that.

[Senator Cris]

48-hours nomination period starts now.

I propose that we nominate the defeated candidates of the ConCon elections and, if you want, people that weren't running in that election can be nominated too.

I think that all of us would be ok with this:

Conservatives (2 to be elected): Federalist Party, Civic Renewal
Progressives (2 to be elected): Labor Party, Northeast National Party
Centrists (1 to be elected): The People's Party, Independents, Others

What do you think?

[Senator Cris]

I'd like to nominate the following people. All of them are defeated candidates in the ConCon election.

Conservatives:
- Tmthforu94 (aldready nominated)
- ClarkKent

Progressives:
- Bore
- Evergreen

Centrists:
- BMotley
- Ilikeverin
- Cincinnatus
- Pikachu
- SWE

EarlAW should be nominated too, but I don't remember which party he's a registered member of (maybe Labor, but I'm not sure).
The Census Bureau is still closed and so I don't know.

[Senator Cris]

I nominate EarlAW as centrist. (he's a member of a non-registered party)

[Senator Cris]

A 48-hours STV vote is now open.

[Senator Cris]

ClarkKent (Conservative) and Evergreen (Progressive) have resigned and de-registered respectively. It's time for fill these vacancies.

48 hours for nominations.

[Senator Cris]

I nominate Mr. Classic Conservative as a Conservative delegate.
He's no longer a delegate because he moved from the Pacific (Classic Conservative was elected as Pacific delegate) to the South, but he's the person who started this process, so I think he deserves the spot.

[Senator Cris]

A 48-hours vote is now open.

CONSERVATIVE DELEGATE:
