This thread is to establish which parties wish to take part in the next General election. (For the thread of the first election, see .) I suggest the election should be held as from October 1st, and the list of participating parties finalised no later than September 20th.

At present, the following parties meet the criteria to stand in an election. Parties in bold character have announced their intent to stand in the election. Parties followed by an asterisk have announced their intent not to stand.

If you're a member of a party not listed above, and you want that party to take part, these are the criteria:

* The party must have been started by no less than two people.
* The party must currently have at least two members.
* The party must have a manifesto, established jointly by the members of the party (i.e., not by a single member), and at least ten full lines in length.

I'd like a representative of the Imperial Party to please provide a list of all its current members, and of all those who took part in establishing the manifesto.

I'd also like the NS Moderate Conservative Party to provide a link to its manifesto.

Likewise for the NS National Classical Party.

If (or once) your party is recognised, if you would like it to take part in the election, please say so in this thread, so we can draw up a list of candidate parties.

As I don't take this seriously, I may as well chuck one of my mates my vote and tick Tink again, even though I'm not really part of the cult.

i think you can take the Party Of Order (heh, poo... still funny) off the list cos TIN is no longer around and i think he was the only representative :(

I am still here as a representative of the NS Classic Liberals, but I know we have lost a few reps, including Alien Born.

Ive updated the manifesto for the Emphatically Silly Party Below everybody. *whoot whoot*
The Manifesto of the Emphatically Silly Party (ESP)

1. We, the emphatically silly party, are committed to enhancing all aspects of life by putting a greater emphasis on fun, laughter, jollity and general silliness in the world.
2. As such, we support quirky and generally silly actions performed by anyone
3. We do not agree with ideas that stifle the air of fun in society or pang of overbearing seriousness.
4. We therefore reserve the right to mock those who are serious, and mock them we shall.
5. If elected, we would strongly encourage random acts of randomness, and silly acts of silliness, perhaps awarding some sort of award for particularly silly or random actions.
6. We would institute and state television network with the prime slots on this network going to Monty Python re-runs with the rest occupied by other similarly humoured programming. There would be no news, as this is generally serious.
7. We would institute a breeding program of terror goldfish.
8. We would make ewoks a protected species and encourage people to worship them
9. Hamsters would no longer live as household pets, as they will be appointed to high-ranking positions in the civil service.
10. We would scorn anyone who told us to “grow up.”
11. We would make sarcasm an Olympic event
12. We would found a ministry of silly walks, which would receive 25% of all government funding.
13. We would ban animals from going outside without clothes on.
14. Each day a number will be selected at random and made illegal. Violators would be tortured with tickling sticks
15. Thieves would be forced to serve us food in revealing outfits.

i think you can take the Party Of Order (heh, poo... still funny) off the list cos TIN is no longer around and i think he was the only representative :(

I'll leave it on the list for now. If TIN doesn't say his party is taking part, then it won't. Simple. ;)

Oh, and the UDCP will be taking part, of course.

AB has left the NSCL? Damn; when and how did that happen? Anyway, I take it you mean the NSCL will be standing in the election?

Thanks, but a link would have been sufficient. I take it this means your party will be standing in the election?

well im rubbish with links.... and yes we do intend to stand if thats allright?

As the only remaining active member of the NS Meritocratic Representative Republican Party, I request that the party be removed from the election. I think our party may have redirected votes away from the Classic Liberals, and that’s a shame. :)

Well, your party meets the required criteria, so yes, you can stand.

At least, unless there are more than 10 candidate parties, in which case there may be some kind of selection, but that's not been decided yet.

So noted. Thank you for letting us know. The election won't be quite the same without you, though.

So...is this going to proportional representation or first past the post? Bear in mind, as a member of the ESP, I (and, I am sure, my fellow members) will be moving/camouflaging the post as is necessary to make sure we win. Or at least, so we don't suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of more "sensible" parties.

Yes, senseless mudslinging, gun smilies and terrible intra-party relations were quite fun.

Heh. No, it's proportional representation.

Oh God, dunno if I have time to do any of this stuff again

Does that mean the RTP is not standing?

what do these elections prove

Incidentally, the first Proposal passed by Parliament covered the issue of elections. You can find it here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=426484).

One thing it did not establish was how many seats there should be in the next Parliament. Based upon general recommendations that there should be more than 25, I suggest 50. That number can be lowered before the election if there are only a few parties taking part.

Does that mean the RTP is not standing?

Sod it, the RTP will stand.

Manifesto has been updated slightly.
I'll try and get some assistance to help me run it

"Prove"? Why should they need to "prove" anything? ;)

Well, it's silly splitting votes within a proportional system. If we combined them, we'd probably win.

I guess I will run for the Party of Order. :D

very true... we'd at least do better if not win. if DHomme and us at the UDCP can work out some kind of happy medium between our parties' manifestos and policies then i'm all for a coalition :)

wait a minute, do we even need do that? could we just be the commie coalition and just have our seperate manifesto's as per RL coalitions (as in parties in RL don't have to merge to form a coalition! :rolleyes: )
if this is the case then lets just do it! :) :)

edit: yes, to be discussed in further detail in the forum... but the rules regarding coalition do need to be understood by all parties

You'll need TIN's authorisation for that, though.

A united front could work. However I would not advocate aligning ourselves with the DSP as they are socialist in name only (they're a bunch of liberals at heart)

I agree, two parties is enough anyway. It'd be pretty boring if everyone had to form a coalition to have a chance at winning and it ended up being nothing more than two choices on the list.

We could run under "Communist Coalition" or whatever other fancy name we come up with.

I believe there should be a clear definitive centrist liberal party. I am against alignments with left or right. Personally I think the liberal center should attract moderate conservatives, and moderate social democrats to create a strong, centrist, social liberal party.

You do know that "liberal" means something different in every country, don't you? In the US, it means mildly left-wing, fairly similar in the UK, in Australia it's synonymous with ultra-Conservative, in France it means extremely right-wing in economic terms, etc...

You do know that "liberal" means something different in every country, don't you? There may be minor variations, right or left. However at a global and european level my views are very similar to parties that are afiliated with the centrist liberal International. A perect example being the liberal party of Canada of which I am particularly fond of.

http://www.liberal-international.org/
and
http://www.liberal-international.org/editorialIndex.asp?ia_id=523

At the European Parliament Level, also centrist.

http://www.eldr.org/index.php?newlang=english
and
http://alde.europarl.eu.int/Content/Default.asp

In the US, it means mildly left-wing, There is no real representative party of the liberal international in the US, but the democratic party is what comes closest by far. In the US you can consider me a liberal democrat.

fairly similar in the UK, No. The Liberal Democratic party in the UK is the centre. They are to the right of the labour party and to the left of the conservative party.

in Australia it's synonymous with ultra-Conservative, That is because the Liberal party in australia is not affiliated with the previously mentioned liberal-international. They are affiliated with the International Democratic Union, (aka Republicans in the US).
in France it means extremely right-wing in economic terms, etc...Extreme right-wing in France is the xenophobic National Front. The former Liberal Democrat party in France has alligned with the Conservative right.

yay!

Ok, so I'm not a member of either party, but what's wrong with CoCoa (COmmunist COAlition)? Fly the Silly flag high!

AB has left the NSCL? Damn; when and how did that happen? Anyway, I take it you mean the NSCL will be standing in the election?


He didn't exactly leave the NSCL, I just haven't seen him on NS in ages.

No. The Liberal Democratic party in the UK is the centre. They are to the right of the labour party and to the left of the conservative party.
Well, in theory anyway. The Lib Dems are to the right of Labour, but are to the left of New Labour. New Labour and the Conservatives are very close, NL being slightly further left.

Damn this stupid country. There isnt really a left wing party left to vote for anymore, thats why I just oppose the conservative party.
I'm a liberal, more so socially than economically. Spose I'd be a democrat in america. Damn I hate Bush. George that is.

There you go. Socially liberal and economically conservative, is a simple definition of what a centrist liberal, aka liberal democrat, affiliated with the "liberal international" really is.

It's regretabble when party names don't coincide with their ideologies. For example in Portugal the Social Democratic party is actually centre-right wing and socially conservative. And that's not just in terms of comparison with other countries political stance. They aren't social democrats, they don't practise social democracy, and nor do they claim to either. It's just the party's name.

No. The Liberal Democratic party in the UK is the centre. They are to the right of the labour party and to the left of the conservative party.


No, the Lib Dems are to the left of New Labour, definitely. New Labour being right-of-centre.


Extreme right-wing in France is the xenophobic National Front. The former Liberal Democrat party in France has alligned with the Conservative right.

I said Démocratie Libérale were very far to the right in economic terms. I wasn't comparing them to the Front National. You're right, the Liberals are more or less aligned to the Gaullists, but they're much further to the right than Chirac is.

Edit: Anyway, to stay on topic:

BUMP

No, the Lib Dems are to the left of New Labour, definitely. New Labour being right-of-centre.The Labour Party is affiliated with the Socialist International. If they have shifted right, that has nothing to do with policy change among the Liberal Democrats. It's all relative positioning anyway.

BUMP

If I don't hear from other parties soon, I'll contact their leaders.

If on September 15th there are 10 candidate parties or fewer, then I'll declare the list to be finalised, and those will be the parties who will compete in the election.

So if you'd like to take part, please say so in this thread before September 15th.

TInk has told me the COTP will not be standing in this election. Other parties, please let me know. If there are ten or fewer candidate parties by September 15th, the list will be finalised on that date, and other parties will have to wait another four months.

After the last few photos of Tink's fabulous ... um .... shoes (yea, that's it), I'm joining her in her COT. :fluffle:


EDIT: Damn. :( I'd still like to join her in her cot. :D

Hmmm... I'm not sure whether I should join the NSCL or the DSP, as I am an idealist anarchist leaning socialist (supporting some restrictions on big business, but otherwise pro-capitalism). Any recommendations?

Well, if we can't tempt you over to the UDCP, you should know that the NSCL are antithetical to socialism. So I'd recommend the DSP.

I didn't know we were doing this again, but if we are I might as well throw my hat into the ring even if I don't really believe that Parliament will actually get around to doing anything cool. We all pretty much debate against each other already, at least on some issues.

That said, I'm not one to pass up some good, old fashioned ego stroking.

In view of all the party threads springing up, for parties which then sink back into oblivion as quickly as they had appeared,

Bearing in mind the original guidelines I had set out, and also the mods' request that such threads should not be created in excess,

I'm hereby re-asserting the rule that, if you want to create a party, post your idea here, and then wait for people to express an interest and say they'll join you before you start a thread.

In other words, don't start a party thread until you've got at least one member beside yourself for it.

Thank you.

Well, I did read the first quote but not the second, I didn't exactly ask to be on the list of parties to vote for. Sorry for being an idiot, it seems.

Hmm... Well, your party seems to have several members. Now you need to decide together on a manifesto.

Pish-posh! We already have a manifesto good sir, and I would be much obligued if you would add us to the electoral roll!

Well, I suppose that manifesto would be the official one, since noone has actually said anything *against* it.

By God sir, if they did not agree to the manifesto then they would not dared to have joined! I want to talk to the manager.

By God sir, if they did not agree to the manifesto then they would not dared to have joined! I want to talk to the manager.

It's not supposed to work that way round, as is clearly indicated in the first post of this thread. But since you've got people to join you and they seem to accept the manifesto, I suppose it works out more or less.

If you want your party to stand in the election, I'll allow it on the condition that you post in your party's thread a message specifying that all party members are allowed to make suggestions to modify the manifesto.

Are you telling me how to run my own party sir! I say, this is just not on. Although I must confess that we have plans for a Party Conference to work out additions and alterations to the manifesto - but if it's done too quickly it'll just decend into a disorderly rabble!

Well, that sounds all right... Just be sure to have your manifesto ready (and approved by your party's members), before September 15th, at which point the list of candidate parties for the election will no doubt be finalised.

On a personal note, I'm not too happy about having three "frivolous" parties taking part, but I have to admit yours is the funniest of the three (and I say this as a half-Brit ;)), and you do meet the criteria. I would just have preferred there to only be one. One is good, two is pushing it, three is, in my humble opinion, way too much.

Eutrusca has informed me, by the way, that the Party of Whatever Works will not be standing in the election. The DSP may not be either, but I'm waiting for confirmation on that.

The Democratic Socialists will be participating.

It's on the thread I linked you to earlier. The one entitled "New British Imperialist Party - Manifesto". We also have a more in-depth manifesto to which I will place a link on that same post, but I would prefer that the manifesto link went to the original post with the shorter manifesto as it is easier to read for the casual voter and the more politically active voter can simply click on the link to the in depth manfiesto.

Added.

We now have eight candidate parties. Of the five serious ones, we have three on the left (DSP, UDCP, RTP), one far to the right in economic terms (NSCL), and a near-Libertarian party, which can also be said to be very right-wing in that sense (Reason Party). Once again, no conservative parties.

We're serious in a silly kind of way. We're probably more moderate right wing / imperialist.

Like I said, I'm American. It wouldn't work. Unless of course, the U.K. decides I can marry whomever I choose and I move over there. Then you've got yourself a deal. ;)

Give me a few minutes to an hour and a half, and I'll have one founded by the Elite Conservative Circuit Region.

You'll need to hurry. If you can do it, feel free, but you'll need a full manifesto before the 15th (which is the day after tomorrow), west European time.

An hour and a half, then, is fine. :)

Everything seems in order. Welcome to the upcoming fray! I'll edit the first post of this thread to indicate your party will be standing.

I'd like a representative of the Imperial Party to please provide a list of all its current members, and of all those who took part in establishing the manifesto.
Members:
Yupaenu
Neo Kervoskia
Vetalia
Bjornoya

The manifesto was established mainly by Yupaenu and myself. The other listed mentioned also contributed with suggestions and edits.

You're not the Imperial Party! I think that one is defunct, anyway...

But thank you for the information. I've added your party here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=424109).

Oh, terribly sorry about that. Someone pointed out that technically the party is monarchist. So, I changed the name to the Imperial Party. Oops.

Don't worry about it... And I suppose you can have that name if the original Imperial Party remains inactive much longer. You might want to check with its founder, though.

I will. Sorry about the trouble.

vote for piggy! (http://dreamers.com/anima/fondo%20piggy.jpg)

yay!

we need a catchy name... something like the cool coalition for cool commies or something :P
or maybe we should discuss it on the UDCP forums ;)

How about instead of "Commies", you use "Pinkos"? Then you could call yourselves the CCCP!

CCCP is nice, but Cool Coalition for Cool Pinkos is... less so. ;)

Damn I hate Bush. George that is.
I'm American. I'm liberal(in the left-of-center freedom-loving modern-American sense.) I think Bush rocks.

Either the band or Kate. They're both good.
