Also, this poll allows candidate parties to decide if they need to change their manifesto or campaign style.

None unless the NSCL or someone else runs.

Are we allowed to run as independents?

I'm 99.9% sure you can run as an independent.

Of these I would only support the Anarchy at Any Cost party.

All others support some form progressive democratization. Democracy is only legitimized if it is broken down, and everyone seems to want to give it more power.

Where is the "None of the above!" option?

What Fass said. I don't like any of the parties on that list. Why isn't the progressive party or w/e on it?

The parties listed on the poll are the ones running this election.

NS Classic Liberals, Sarzonia Party, Technocratic Party are the "unconfirmed" and may not run in this election. I heard NSCL might run in this election.

Also, I decided against adding "none of above" on the poll.

The poll is meaningless without a right-libertarian party. Between Reason and the Classic Liberals they were a huge bloc last time.

You should have thought about being sorry before you alienated those of us not apathetic enough not to vote, but disenfranchised enough to show discontent through an invalid ballot. It's the democratic way! And democracy is one of those things you're either for or against - no fannying about with it, no!

And why do Anarchists have a party anyway? Shouldn't they be opposed to participating in the oppressive NS General Parliament anyway on principle? Shouldn't they be forming NS General Anarcho-Whatsit communes instead, willfully refusing to acknowledge the power or legitimacy of the Parliamentarians?

Wimps and hypocrites is what it is!

We shall bring down the power structure from within! As to the comment about communes, we don not support one ideal vision of anarchy over another, because all ideologies are flawed.
Wimps and hypocrites is what it is!
No!
All other parties are wimps and hypocrites. Unless you reject all ideologies based on the fact that they are inherently flawed and seek to bring down the ideological systems which impede human development, you are a hypocrite.

If you are scared that your ideas aren’t pragmatic enough to survive a test in a world without authority, you are a wimp. If your ideas require authority, you are just sad.

Anarchy!
We've tried everything else.

I'm only joking, just messing you around.:D

In fact, I forgot to add the "all parties suck" option.

Call me lazy.

Btw, it's only mock internet election. Calm down, take a deep breath Fass. :D
