This thread is to submit questions for the parties to answer. Please post your question and hopefully it will soon be answered.


I invite all parties to come here to engage in a civilized, sensible, and informative debate.

Should there be a designated spokesperson or a designated group from each party to answer, or can any member answer?

Well, most of the other parties have official spokespersons, but DHomme left a while ago, so that leaves the MLP in an awkward position.

If I'm here, I will answer, if I'm not, someone else will.

Mmmhh...politician-speak. :D

With which parties do you like to form a coalition with if it's up to you to decide?

I'm asking this to all the parties.

The ESP's official policy on this is that any member can answer, so long as that member is me. Or Carops or Tribes.

MOBRA and AAAC (Anarchy At Any Cost). Not actually sure about the latter, as I don't know how silly it is. There is still a loose alliance between ESP and MOBRA from the previous election.

EDIT: Just looked at AAAC's manifesto, and point VI (I think) says 'The AAAC is not a silly party'. Just MOBRA then.

I wish to complain about the deliberate exclusion of the ESP from this thread. It is just not possible for a party based on our principles to take part in a so-called 'sensible' debate.

I never said sensible according to me, it could be your defition or Leonstein's, etc. :D

We all trust each other, so I'll go out on a limb and assume any party member may answer.

Hey this is already looking like a real politics debate. A lot of talk without answering any questions. ;)

With which parties do you like to form a coalition with if it's up to you to decide?
The DSP is a Centre-Left Party. That leaves potential to form coalitions with either more leftist or other centrist parties.

For the moment, there are no concrete plans for an alliance, but most likely candidates might be the UDCP, or even the NSCL. But as I said, there would be issues in which we would have to find a compromise, and as of now there have been no discussions.

The MLP is opening its arms to all leftists, but only under the banner of the MLP. However, if we were to form an alliance, it would be with either the UDCP or the NSDSP.

This question is for all parties:

Does your party accept bribes?

If yes, aren't you cheating your voters?
If no, is or party stupid or something?

We do not acceopt bribes, but well-earned contributions are quite another matter. [/politician speak]

Is the NSCL in this election or not?

Does your party accept bribes?
No.

If no, is or party stupid or something?
No, just honest. :D

I think so.

So you're stupid, and cheat your voters... I like it :D.

Is the NSCL in this election or not?

I think it is. I'm sorta following VO's lead on it.

Like a fox.

I think it is. I'm sorta following VO's lead on it.

Alright, thanks. I'll be voting for the party in the election.

OK, here's my question:

For which party should I NOT vote and why?

Where is the thread for the conservative party, what are its stances and when do we vote?

The NSCL is in the mix for this election as well. I can't say that I completely have my heart in it, as I only started it out of a lack for similar parties.

OK, here's my question:

For which party should I NOT vote and why?

The Militant Leftist Party. Give them any power and they will use that power to take as much as they can.

The 20th century was stained by militant lefties.

This question is for all parties:

Yes, but not in monetary form. Swallows (both European and African), coconuts, and creepers is all we ask.

Not at all. We'll still be providing them with valuable services.

OK, here's my question:

For which party should I NOT vote and why?
MOBRA - there are currently only two 'silly' parties in this election: the ESP, and MOBRA. Clearly if you intend to vote silly, you should vote ESP, as it is the only 'silly' party to have actively shown interest in this election.

By the way, despite the name, the ESP is not a 'silly party'. From now on, I wish it to be called an 'alternative party'.

Addressing all parties,
Why should I care about elections in NS?

Thank you, DSP, ESP and UDCP party for responding.

Addressing all parties,

Because just a week ago everyone was whining about how boring NS General was and how we should do something again to make it exciting.

Thank you, DSP party for responding.
You shouldn't. It's completely pointless. Just look at what happened after the last election - bugger all. That said, if you want pointless, vote ESP.

Answering on behalf of the UDCP:

With which parties do you like to form a coalition with if it's up to you to decide?


There is no party which truly shares our ideals, but if there were to be a coalition it would be with the MLP and/or the DSP. A coalition would ensure that certain ideals all three parties believe in would be defended in Parliament, but we would also continue to defend our own specific beliefs. We have no intention of betraying our principles, and voters, in the process.

OK, here's my question:

For which party should I NOT vote and why?

In true politician style, I would prefer to tell you why you should vote for us, rather than why you shouldn't vote for other parties. Having said that, the party whose policies would be most damaging across a wide variety of aspects is undoubtedly the Conservative Party.


Addressing all parties,

That's really up to you. But it has consistently provided a focus for interesting and meaningful political debate. Hundreds of people voted in the previous election, so obviously there is something to care about.

I see it as a reassuring sign that people still have ideals and beliefs they care about defending.

In true politician style, I would prefer to tell you why you should vote for us, rather than why you shouldn't vote for other parties.

In true American political style, the UDCP is unconcerned with the defense of NationStates.

Arriddia doesn't care about black people.

My esteemed opponent Vittos Ordination apparently believes that the good citizens of NationStates General are idiots.

I disagree, and I will not stoop to insulting their intelligence as he does.

:D

I am also of the UDCP, and agree with most of what our esteemed founder said regarding our stances, but I would like to point out that there may also be possibility for a coalition with the NSCL, as well as the other two parties Ariddia mentioned.

The Militant Leftist Party. Give them any power and they will use that power to take as much as they can.

The 20th century was stained by militant lefties.

I'm sorry. I forgot. Us bastard lefties are the cause of all problems.

Yup it's not like capitalist nations ever killed or enslaved anyone, is it?

God that 20th century. We really fucked that up. We never should have started those world wars, the arms race or been in constant state of warfare since the 1950's.

We sure do suck.
