I'm going to start this up, if you want to register as a party who can stand, please reply in this post, if you simply want to vote but don't want to put the effort in, no worries, just say you want to be a voter. Parties can vote as well.
You are a party by yourself, if you register, please tell me roughly your political stance, so voters know who to vote for. Also tell me your UN Category.
There are 120 seats.
1 seat for me, guaranteed.
27 UN Category seats, one for each UN category, guaranteed.
92 list seats, based on proportion of votes.
When you vote, you vote for your preferred party (which may be yourself) and your preferred party to represent your UN Category.
[[ EXAMPLE:
You are a 'Psychotic Dictatorship'. You vote for yourself. You get one vote, 0.5% of the total. You were the only 'Psychotic Dictatorship' candidate, therefore you get one seat, representing 'Psychotic Dictatorship's.
]]
The parliament can make decisions on whatever, probably best to RP it. Therefore, IF YOU ARE NOT A REGULAR NS PLAYER, DON'T REGISTER AS A PARTY, REGISTER AS A VOTER.
The Sovereign Federated States of Aniane Would Like to Join, as we in the Past have tried to create a group like this, an International group that isn't the UN and is under player control! We Would Love to be part, but please tell me about political party's what do you mean?
Anyway Though, we would be degeined to be a founding member, if you want I shall draw up a charter for the Organization.
You can register as a party (you also get a vote in the election). You may stand for your UN Category, the main vote or both if you wish.
You can also register as only a voter in the election.

Wait, what is this for?
The House of Boothby
09-02-2008, 02:38
02/08/2008
From the desk of Thomas Christopher Clark Boothby, hereditary ruler of The House of Boothby.
The House of Boothby has a great interest in joining an international parliament not under the rule of the United Nations. We are a small, but extremely wealthy nation.
Our U.N. designation is "Capitalist Paradise." The House of Boothby is a constitutional monarchy that has been ruled as a libertarian state by me and my ancestors since our independence. Most of our international economics revolve around personal securities. Other industries include international business and law.
Best Regards,
Thomas Christopher Clark Boothby

"Uh. I don't actually see the point of such a Parliament. We already have the United Nations. Such a parliament won't also be global, as only a few nations will hear of it, and even fewer will actually even care.
We also think this Parliament will likely collaspe. We were an observer on a previous attempt to unite the rest of the world (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=547893) only to see it implode.
We are however more worried about the possiblity of this parliament turning rather anti-UN and advocating policies that might be threatening to the world. In case this 'new world order' idea take off, we'll pre-emptively register ourselves as a Party, and our government as 'Anarchy' (yes, we are an Anarchy, don't laugh, okay?). We're also voting for ourselves, in order to ensure we get a seat on this council.
If it doesn't work out, no worries. Just excess paperwork."---Dr. Bob
P.S.: We'll point out that we consider ourselves a member of the NSUN, and in a conflict of jurisdiction between the Global Parliament and the UN, we'll follow the UN. Sorry for that.

Dearest Kurtish Republic,
You have not answered me yet whether you want me to, to help, or at least begin talk of some charter for this group.
Also you should not get a seat because you founder, you could be preliminary Leader of this group and therefore have a seat via that.
Also we should allow some nations to have Observer Status, AKA they can Debate and Talk but have no Bearing on the Decisions or Inner workings of this body.
Greater Headhunters
10-02-2008, 04:52
The Armed Republic of Greater Headhunters would like to join the Global Parliement. Our U.N. designation is "Father Knows Best State". We are a Dictatorial Senate (we have a dictator and a senate, it works). Our main industries are arms manufacturing, information technology and furniture restoration. We hate the U.N. (just look at our flag) because the U.N. imprisons formerly free nations. So we'll follow your decisions, not the U.N.'s.
Sincerly,
Kaiser Karl Von Donau-Schwob

The President looks at his table, a mess, it's just like his table was devastated by a tornado, but he sorts his documents, then, a Report called "Global Parliament Created" caught his eye. he then reviewed this report.
"Hmm, a Global Parliament?, well, the UN will have some competition then." The President said.
The President then reached for the mic, "Send a Telegram to ...... The Kurtish Republic, We have some few questions to them" the President said after sipping an Iced Tea.
OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE
THE HONORABLE LEADERS OF THE KURTISH REPUBLIC
Dear Sirs.
Greetings!, I am Representing the Empire of the Philippiniada, we are interested of joining this Global Parliament, as this will increase International Cooperation and Coordination towards us, as we are living in a time which nations are going shopping for teritories, and not a damn thing the UN can do.
We are labeled "Inoffensive Centrist Demoracy" by the UN, we have a Strong Economy, but before we join, we will ask a few questions:
1. Does the Empire have to quit the UN?
2. Does the Parliament have a Military Force?
3. If ever we have been threatened by the UN, Do we have enough strength to counter them?
Its just questions that linger on our head, we are expecting a reply from you, Good Day

We still are interested that we are still not considered a voter or a party representing Anarchy in your edit. I do hope this is a really simple mistake.---Dr. Bob
(When/what do we vote (on)?
OOC: Interesting question. It will likely all depend on wheter they get the necessary votes before they can feel confident on actually proposing stuff, which will likely take too much time. Hopefully the Parliament won't stall, but you know, most anti-UN alliances fail miserably. This comes from a person that tried to organize a pro-UN alliance, only to see it stab me in the back and later die.
Maybe I could try forming one anti-UN alliance myself...)
To The Nation of The Kurtish Republic and The Current Party in Control,
I would like to sign The Imperial Republic of Greston up for a party as the Capitalist Paradise seat. If we may not aquire that seat we would like to run for a seat in the 92 voted in seats. But first comes first, we would rather end up with one of the 27 seats.

You have not answered me yet whether you want me to, to help, or at least begin talk of some charter for this group.
Also you should not get a seat because you founder, you could be preliminary Leader of this group and therefore have a seat via that.
Also we should allow some nations to have Observer Status, AKA they can Debate and Talk but have no Bearing on the Decisions or Inner workings of this body.
The best way you can help right now is to stay in touch until there is something which I need.
If the parliament makes a decision, I cannot help that, I cannot veto decisions however I am guaranteed one seat.
I agree, all nations that register as voters will get observer status.

1. You don't have to quit the UN, this parliament is not at war with the UN.
2. You could get one if the parliament voted on it.
3. As far as I know, this is not anti-UN but if the parliament decides otherwise... democracy...
OOC: When/what do we vote (on)?
Whatever the parliament brings to the floor.
By the way, I need an election date, ideas?

Politics: Capitalist on the economic front, Liberal on the social front.
We would also like to create a coalition, the Purpled Coalition. The Coalition aims are...
-The creation of a military to protect members of the Global Parliament.
-A new currency with which members of the Global Parliament will use, to promote economic growth, Greater Headhunters suggests we use the Pachyderm Credit. (Not our invention actually, just ask Nicherwan).
-Anti-UN policies implemented by the Global Parliament.
-The right of nation's to self-determination.
-The definition of 'Rogue' nations and what policies should be implemented.
-An alliance with the Kiravian Commonwealth and the Silver Alliance.
As more issues come up and as more information is brought to light, the agenda will be subject to change.
OOC: @ Kurtish Republic: Should it be called a party or a coalition?
@ Aniane: What is Paleoconservatism?
