Charges should not be given, IMO, as if there was no puppet, he would still get the seat from being the only candidate. What charges should be used for is if someone tries to use puppets to get muliple seats.

I have a little story to tell you all. A confession if you will.

I hadn't actually meant to enter with both Kryozerkia and Farflorin. In fact, I had only meant to use Kryozerkia, but, what happened was I had entered Kryozerkia, then later, I had decided I didn't want to post with this nation any more, and wanted to use a nation with a shorter name, so I posted with Farflorin. However, I was high at the time when I had posted in the candidate thread so I didn't notice until a little while later when I realised my mistake. Rather than correct it, I thought it would be amusing to run against myself in my own riding. Kind of like the time I declared war on myself with my puppet Kutou-koku. :)

you are being overconfident, and that just makes it all easier.

I am being realistic. There is nothing you can do to remove our seats in Parliament. And as I'm sure you're aware, we're campaigning to hold elections(which would be the only way to remove said seats from us), so if you went about it that way, you'd only be helping us. And if we don't do as well in the elections, well that's hardly overthrowing us, since we're the ones who want the elections.
