When will the NS General Election be held?

I know it's supposed to be held some time this month, seeing as how it's now 4 months after the last one (give or take). But I'm just wondering if anyone has a more specific idea/actual knowledge of when it will take place this month. Thx. :)

Whenever, really. I imagine Ariddia would organise it again, so whenever s/he(?) starts the ball rolling. And the last one was a couple of months late anyway, wasn't it?

I guess so. But I think it's time, anyway. I'm not sure about it being a few months late, cuz there's an election every 4 months, and since the first election was about a year ago, this should be the 4th (Month 0, 4, 8, 12). I think it's been more or less on time.

The first election was April 05, I think...then there was one in September, and one this March.

Oh. Well, still, it's four months later, so I think it's about time or so.

the last election was in april wasn't it? so that'll be next month.

i'm not sure if ariddia will be hosting it - he seems to be on NS less and less, so we'll see. i'll volunteer to do so if he steps down (will be using my voting system as per the last bill in parliament so it kinda makes sense in a way)


though i do need time to get my new party up and running *shiftyeyes*

Well, unless Ariddia objects, I suppose it's ultimately in your hands when the next election is, seeing as how you are de facto in charge of it due to the election relying upon your system.

Well, I'm all for it. I've got an idea for a common manifesto format (for the non-silly/non-mole parties) that I proposed last election, a little too late to be implemented, and I think I'll propose it again.

I thought everyone rejoined the Apathy Party right after the reform of election process.

You've hit that nail on the head with such elan that I can scarcely see where it entered the plaster.

Can your friend repair a time rotor with bubblegum and bailing wire?

Actually, he worked for ops, so...it's a possibility. Not as well as my dachshund can, though.

Better stick to the dog. See a vet about getting the nose-laser implanted, though.

It's true, he was a political science major back in the ol' college days.
