Office of Battista Minola 1616

[OBD]

The October 2020 polls are open and will be for three days.

Wherever you live, write me in for a high preference. Thank you!

The electoral results have not been certified yet but I am sure I have not lost. I only received one first preference... write-in is a terrible idea.

Congratulations to the electeds.

In general, getting elected without the support of any party (especially Labor or Fed support) is very hard if not impossible. You need huge amounts of name recognition and a good campaign behind you, and a ton of luck to pull it off.

The only example in recent times is actually Poirot in August of 2019 really, where he got a weird coalition of dissident Laborites and Federalists and won a seat as an indy on merit; with a wonderful campaign (rumoured to have been ran by tmth)

I don't really count this campaign as he had a party backing him even if the Libs aren't the most powerful force; as well as in the end some Labor support)

I know but I'll try and I'll try and I'll try again and as Carlo Calenda would say "if I fail, at least I've failed well".

As I've said to you previously, might be wise to try your hand at Fremont Parliament as a non-write-in - we need new active players, and you'd be a great addition! Also a good place to get legislative experience.

I am very likely to run (not as a write-in) for Frémont Parliament this November, in which case, you owe me a vote. I will announce during next month I guess.

Heh, I'm running myself so my first preference is already taken. I'll give you a high preference, though!

I am a candidate for the next regular election to the Frémont Parliament this November.

I haven't fundamentally changed. I am an independent because parties as institutions tend to fail me... but I don't close my door to anything. I know that Frémont badly needs new candidates... I just hope I don't go from new candidate to perennial candidate, lol.
I believe that a more equitable society = a more stable society and that the latter is very justifiable ends.
I don't promise too much, if not that I'll try to serve you well and to work with everyone.

Battista Minola 1616 for Frémont Parliament

[OBD]

I'll give you as high a preference as possible. We need active new players, and you seem to fit the bill.

I am a candidate for the next regular election to the Frémont Parliament this November.

The polls are now officially open.

Congrats on your win!

Congratulatzioni!

[OBD]

Congrats!

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Thanks to you all!

I am feeling pretty strange actually now. I didn't really think I would be elected.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Congratulatzioni!

*without the second T

Sorry, I am a grammar tradcon, or as Cath would say, a grammar nationalist.

Actually the "tz" is relatively common in Sardinian names... Ted Bessell: Safe Lucca -> Lean Cagliari?? Lol

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

I updated the thread title to reflect my new status as an elected official.

So well this is now my office as a Member of Frémont Parliament.
De la tierra de Nuevo México, para todos los Frémonters!

Congratulatzioni!

Lmao I have no idea what was going on there. Truly ashamed

Hahaha don't worry. Or, non ti preoccupare.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I would like to express my thankfulness towards Attorney General Harry S Truman, President MB, ans the Federal Bureau of Investigation for having stopped a plot by a group of fanatically pro-Frémont radicals going by the name of "Pathfinders" to kidnap Goveror of Kansas James Benson, arresting the people involved in the conspiracy.
As much as my opinion on Kansas sovereignty is unambiguous and I'm disappointed by Governor Benson's pro-South leanings, actions such as this are outrageous, deserve to be condemned, and expose those who commit them not as patriots for the Commonwealth but as reckless terrorists.
As a strong believer in rehabilitative justice, I can only hope these people will get to see the error in their ways (of political violence).

In other and much lighter news, I am pleased to say that we passed the budget of Frémont for the Fiscal Year 2021, and even more so, that a budget surplus is predicted without having resorted to cutting social services or raising taxes on poor and middle-income people. I thank, again, Harry S Truman, this time in quality of Prime Minister, Speaker Siren, my other colleague MP YE, former MP Oregon Blue Dog, and also Senator Scott, who is deeply involved in his region even while working in Nyman.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I am pleased to announce that an amendment to the PTECA which provides for the construction of new, improved, railway connections in the Land of Enchantment, which I sponsored, has passed Parliament and become law. I consider this a first important achievement. I am also pleased to announce that I will run for re-election this February.

Crescit eundo - it grows as it goes.

Gloria Frémontis!

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

While the COVID-19 pandemic is still sadly hitting our people and creating many a struggle and suffering, we can look at brighter days ahead. The bill coordinating Frémont's vaccine rollout has just been passed by the Parliament and signed by the Prime Minister. Together with federal legislation, this will provide for a streamlined distribution of what's the greatest relief possible during a pandemic like this. A big thanks to Speaker Siren, who crafted the law, and to all my colleague MP's also.

Glad to see a New Mexican in office. True or True: New Mexico’s flag is the best flag?

Of course it is!

The flag of Frémont wasn't modeled after it without a reason.

Really refreshing after the 30 states or so which have some random seal on the same dark blue background and look all identical to each other.

The Flag of Fremont has New Mexico's flag in it with a stripe below it.

[WMS]

Okay Fremont is apparently awesome now

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The brilliant legislator for the Southern region, KoopaDaQuick, offered me the Vice Presidental spot for her campaign to the highest office of the land, and I could not in good conscience refuse. However, this doesn't mean I will abandon working for Frémont or drop out of my re-election campaign. I am committed to this region... but I wouldn't mind a job promotion if by some miracle it happened .

[Pordor4]

Endorsed.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I am going to be brief. It turns out there were ~bureaucratic~ problems and I won't be on the KoopaDaQuick presidential ticket in the end. Still, she has my endorsement. Reject partitocracy. Embrace unity.
Meanwhile, I am of course still running for reelection to the Frémont Parliament. Viva Nuevo México! Viva Frémont!

[SevenEleven]

Endorsed!

[Amanda Huggenkiss]

Good luck!
