Gather 'round kids. Long ago NS General had an ineffective, silly parliament. There were political parties for whom you voted. So if you would liketo start a political party, simply create a manifesto outlining your goals and post it here. You have until Tuesday.

What was it?

Yeah, I think we had an election that no one cared about a few months back.

I don't think the Choose your pogo stick Wisely party was ever voted out of power. ;)

That means we need a reactionary party? Everyone needs someone to be against, right?

Alright I will start it then. Reactionaries Unite!

What was the NS parliament?

What?

my party will win

STOP THE KOMMIES!!! LONG LIVE ANTI-COMMUNISM!!!!

We are the United Party of NSSportians.

We're looking to become the honoured dictators of a second NS thread.

As a servant and avatar of the one, true and almighty god (http://www.venganza.org/), your elections mean nothing to me.

Of course, my political opponents will naturally come from The Wee Turtles Party.

My party has, in the interests of simplicity in communications (and because I forgot what it stands for), changed it's name from the NIFLPP to the PARTY party.

It was something to do with pinatas, IIRC.

That was, I think, Smunkee's party, although we did decide to work together.

My party motto is something along the lines of "if it's fun, do it (as long as no one gets hurt)"

Death to all surfacers, vote MOBRA!

Vote for the British Imperial Party or you'll be looking at the business end of a gunboat wot?

After observing recent successful election campaigns, The Centrist Party is renaming itself the Change Change Change W00t Party.

We plan to spend one hundred centillion dollars to stimulate the spam industry and, subject to planning permission, we will seek to make the most of wasted forum space by knocking through the wall into the redundant sections of forum which have been grouped together under the title "Sound & Fury", replacing them with a permanent sex forum and a 3D virtual reality humping-garden to prevent NSG becoming clogged up with sex threads.

Who Cries for the Piñata? (http://www.deadtroll.com/index2.html?/video/pinata.html~content)

Piñata Party Manifesto:

We promise not to murder our colorful and quiet wild piñatas for their sweet and sugary entrails.
We promise to create a preserve where NationStates members of all kinds can come to see them roaming free on the range.
We promise to provide all the beer, nachos and pizza you can eat, NationStates.

End the cruelty. Join the Piñata Party.
We have lots of beer.

Got anything better?

Join the only party of ultraconservative chemists: the Agents of Reaction. Our manifesto:

1. The history of the world is the history of those who would undo history and those who would undo the undoing. The good people are the former.
2. However, progress is a mighty juggernaut, and so, despite the wishes of the good people, the world changes.
3. There is a simple reason for this:
4. (The numbering is completely arbitrary, by the way.)
5. Those who wish to push us forward control the chemicals. He who controls the chemicals, controls the world.
6. Our party is different. We are in the same group as those who tell history to athwart itself (whatever that means), but also have chemicals and know how to use them.
7. Thus, we are unstoppable.
8. Many will try to oppose us, but what is a man but a bunch of chemicals? Clothes, perhaps, but actually those are chemicals, too. What we're trying to say is, we already rule everything. Or at least we will when we take a majority in Parliament.
9. Okay, that last point was much less coherent than I was hoping.
10. The real reason to join, of course, is our name is a very clever pun.

Ultraconservative chemists of the world, unite!
(No apologies to Karl Marx. There's nothing wrong with stealing from a Communist.)

If I were you I'd vote for Saige Dragon's Big Birthday Bash! After the inflatable castle (http://www.east-inflatables.ca/Cheap-305-King-Arthur-Jump-Castle/) and cake there is gonna be pizza at the roller disco!

You do, do you? :p I must have missed the memo.

You do, do you? :p I must have missed the memo.

I would like to retract my earlier proposal and hereby declare the Brownnose Party, named after the adorable nose of Katganistan. The Brownnosers feel that the moderators are doing just a swell job, and we only want to join Parliament to act as a sounding board for their excellent decisions. We ask for nothing in return, just the opportunity to work in the same forum as these great guys and gals. Thanks, Mods!

My nose is many things, but brown is not an adjective that could be used to describe it.

(You're welcome; vote Piñata. We got nachos to go with the beer. And HDTV. And nude mud-wrestling.)

Now you're catching on!:tongue:

Indeed. You should try to keep in the loop from now on.;)

Then join the site and check it out. It's inane, but I got fond memories of the place. I'm not active there anymore.

Ugh...once again we roll out this tired, pointless exercise?

The NSG Parliament threads devolve into pointless spam/flame wars between the "parties". The Parliament itself always does exactly nothing for about two days, before disbanding due to a sudden lack of interest.

A popularity contest that actually requires effort, but without the payoff...why bother?

The only purpose I can see to it is that it is some sort of consipiratorial effort to prove that democracy doesn't work.

Have fun...*wanders off*

You know your description of the NS Parliament apart for the disbanding part is pretty much what most parliaments in the real world actually do. Hell some even do disband.

"My leg itches."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Why?"
"I had an itchy leg once."
"*starts thread on fire*"
"*throws dynamite*"
"YEA!"
"My leg isn't itchy anymore!"
"YEA!"
So true, I just had to quote it :)

(hoowever:

Dynamite is also nice
