With the election (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10617748&posted=1#post10617748) now closed, these are the results. I would like each party to decide on its MPs and announce them in this thread as quickly as possible.

+1 seat for the UDCP!

a socialist stronghold of 11 seats!
44% of parliament controlled by the centre-left :D

this has been a good election :)
(maybe not technically, but the outcome is good!)


i'd like to say a big well done to all campaigning members of the UDCP :fluffle:
and a big hello to all additional members of the United Communist Front :)

Gotta love democracy and representation.

I think the whole election should be declared void due to the absence of any sort of impartial oversight.

Actually, I take that back. To propose as such would be to consider this whole debacle as of any consequence.

Liven up.


Perhaps you mean 'lighten up'?

If I was to 'liven up' that would entail taking things even more seriously, as opposed to just dimissing the whole thing as a bit of a laugh, which is what I did.

nearly 1 out of every 25th person is a militant. Doesn't that scare you?

Nearly 1 in 10 people is silly. Who knew it was that low?

The ESP has determined two of its three MPs - myself and Tribes are taking seats, and we're waiting on the outcome of the battle for the third.

Tickets are still available for the mud-wrestling contest.

Well...it doesn't. Only one piece of legislation was submitted in the last Parliament (you may have noticed the Conservatives making a big thing of that), and then the party that submitted it (the Conservatives) were accused of doing the very thing the legislation was acting against (puppet voting).

in the first session of parliament we tried a whole raft of proposals and the like (the UDCP submitting the majority... *cough*) but we couldn't agree on anything. not even a fundamental right to human life.
IIRC it was mostly the NSCL who put up most of the resistance there. personally i got irritated and demotivated to bother trying to submit proposals (why i freely gave up my seat for the second parliament)... but now i reckon it's worth another try. i think this parliament can be more effective than the last two (and it's less split, too, especially with a united front on the left :))

details for submitting a proposal to parliament can be found... somewhere. the OP of this thread i think.

Poor Technocrats.

Sirs, may i again ering to your attention our preposal that the manufacture of tweed jackets, bowler hats and umbrellas is to be subsidised.

The NSCP does not view this as a defeat. We have gained an extra seat from last term, and we have thrown out all allegations of voting fraud.

We are currently writing up a treaty that any member may sign and promise they will not spam, swear or generally be a nuisance, we are just working out the exact details.

But thank you the electorate for election us for a second term.

MPs are being decided as we speak.

Hmm, just floating the idea as a casual observer, but is there the possibility of a left-right coalition here, as opposed to the Democratic Socialists throwing their lot with the Radical Socialists/Communists? The result would probably be economically centrist (which the Democratic Socialists are pretty darn close to anyway going by their platform; pro-welfare-state definitely, but not very socialist per se).

its a fictional semi-RP (ie. not connected with the other NS roleplays) thing engaging the General forum of this place. we hold elections (the fun part) every 4 months (this latest one just past being the 3rd such election) and then form a parliament to aid effective, structured debate with the view to effect laws.
the parliament has no power, nor is it specific to any nation - fictional or otherwise - and so far the parliament hasn't done much (hence why the elections are the fun bit!)... its all just a bit of fictional fun really :)

Hello,

I am proud to be an MP to repesent my conservative views and my party. I will not only vote on my views but the peoples.

yup. was the last couple of times too.

you have to bear in mind that we're from all different time zones and not all on here every day, so coordinating anything in a 'professional' manner is near impossible. you can't expect anything quick or professional with this. hell, why do you think everything (like proposals and votes) all have to last a week when there's only 25 MPs?

We need some deadline or we could still be waiting for MPs to be confirmed by the time the next election is due. It's been a week since the end of the election. I say give it until midnight on Monday (GMT) for MPs to be announced. That's 102 hours - should be plenty.

Retroactive deadline? I don't think so.

Don't be absurd. Not 48 hours after the beginning of Parliament. 48 hours from now.

It'll also force me and the UDCP to get our act together and come to a decision. :D

We can't leave it open indefinitely, or we'll never get started. Hence my question.

Order of the day:

Elect a damn speaker of the house.

Anybody want to be the house speaker?

Santa Barbara and I will be the delegates for the NSCL.

Since you're the only one speaking in bulk, and you're a socialist, and the DSP has the most votes, I don't think I would object to you being speaker, but I'll see what everyone else at the UDCP thinks.

If anyone agrees, the speaker should be unbias and keep the house in order. Also, the house speaker can only vote to break the tie.

I think a 2/3 supermajority should be required for a speaker, just to force some consensus.

Btw, I'm planning to introduce the bill that will increase spending to improve public education. Also, I'm thinking of introducing the elections legislation.

Santa Barbara and I will be the delegates for the NSCL.:confused:

I think new legislation proposals deserve their own thread(s). That way one doesn't have to sift through 1000s of pages of this thread to find out if anyones passing something, like gas or legislation.Oh, yes, I agree. I think that's the way they did it anyway - to give each proposal its own thread. In addition, I think the way they did it was to give each proposal a discussion thread, to hash out the language of the proposal itself. When the discussion was over it was taken to a new thread to vote on, if the MPs voted to vote on it. If they didn't vote to take it to the new thread, it just died.

With the election (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10617748&posted=1#post10617748) now closed, these are the results. I would like each party to decide on its MPs and announce them in this thread as quickly as possible.

maybe, but that'd hurt party politics. many of NSDSP's MPs showed up for the election and helped them win (me). who would have known?

plus, you don't know how many seats youre going to get.

I'm not quite sure I understand the first part.

If the party does not get all of the seats it planned for, it still gets everyone in place regardless. If it gets more, it is a step ahead and it is easier to fill other seats with some already taken care of.

election? what election? :confused:
The most important one.

Do any parties want to form a coalition with the ESP? We'll be willing to ally with any of the left- or silly-wing parties.

Third reading of the current legislation is going to begin soon. Well, 7 hours, I think. 9pm Pacific Time.

Why bother, everyone supports it.

Hm.... It is the 21st and I don't recall seeing the third discussion open on this.

Then again, I don't pay the most attention.

*Cue threatening music*

The Chinese Republics... PM of the Democratic Socialist Party, the strongest party in the NationStates Parliament. He's looking out for you...

...or is he?

Instead of posting the third reading for the Elections Act, he decided to pay a visit to special interest Mathematical and Physics Exams. That's because the LIEnese Republics secretly hates election reform, and will stop at nothing to give his Mathematical/Scientific establishment cronies what they want, total control of the government.

Support for the Chinese Republics is support for enslavement under the bonds of science and mathematics. Is this the kind of NationStates we want to pass on to our children?

Political ad paid for by ridiculously partisan jerks for mud-slinging.

Well, I suppose the only way we can start this election is to start pushing out parties right now.

Have to have people who feel like spending the time to organize a re-election...

Just start up a thread with a manifesto of your party's political beliefs in it.

I beleive that all you do is post a thread, and accrue membership before contacting whoever runs election.

I will post a manifesto I made tomorrow, or tonight if someone posts one themselves first.

Well, MOBRA will definatly be interested.

The previous election did have some rules about party eligibility and what not.
If we're going by the same rules as before, someone needs to post them clearly (;)) so there aren't the same sort of "difficulties" and irregularities.

Oh, and if there's still interest, the Birthday Party is throwing it's hat in.

Thanks for posting that link! The essential rules are all there.

I haven't been in General for a while; I'd better keep an eye on what's going on around here. ;)

If no-one else is doing it, I'll set a date for the next election, and start a thread listing all parties currently taking part.

Sounds good. Will you put up a directory for all of the parties being formed?

Done! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11663982#post11663982) As soon as a party meets the requirements, it'll be listed there.

Provisionally, the date for the beginning of the next elections will be October 1st (with the list of parties being finalised at some point on September 30th).
