@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu today's the day I guess.

Quote from: codename_chels on May 06, 2024, 12:04:03 AMSorry, I need to consider my word diction more and I understand more clearly now. I was thinking, even the ones in the Ziu would need worker protections. What about ensuring that there's no workplace bullying, etc? But, I'm also guessing that everything written in the forum and in the nation is incredibly civil?

Who do you think can regulate this interactions? It's an interesting idea.

POP QUIZ: what are the effective differences between these three 50 word statements?

1.

QuoteI have dedicated my energy to promote the values of healthy coexistence, Community, the Arts, Fun and Excitement.
My goal is to unite people through shared visions and bring unity and positivity to Talossa; to balance different viewpoints and unite Talossa for a better future.

2.

Quote...a coalition of independent MCs from across the political spectrum, dedicated to creating a more pluralistic approach to Talossan politics. Each member pursues their own political (or non-political) agenda without the limitations of formal party structures, fostering a vibrant, diverse range of views. Join us in shaping Talossa's dynamic and prosperous future!

3.

QuoteWe strive to protect a traditional yet democratic Kingdom.
We want to continue fostering immigration, transparency, inclusivity, and goodwill among citizens.
We promote cross-party collaboration to make our Nation more visible and our government more active.
We are honest and committed.
We also think our Province is the best.

The apparent explosion of the TNC has resulted in fragments whose politics all seem to be vague platitudes that no-one could disagree with, with no particular "unique selling point" or even significant difference between them. The Free Democrats previously asked "what does the TNC stand for"? Now we might ask "what do the various Té-En-Tzells* stand for?" I can understand why no-one wants to be associated with the infighting, paralysis or rudeness of the outgoing Government - but I can't understand why they don't stick together, if they don't actually disagree with each other.

In contrast, everyone knows what the Free Democrats stand for. And in addition to that, we're working on a specific Agenda for the New Free Democrat Government. Having a strong platform, and the team to enact it, was what led to the old TNC's landslide of a couple of terms ago. We learn.


* A Talossan word I just made up, meaning "offspring of the TNC". TNCidoj in Esperanto.

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on Yesterday at 11:48:43 AMCan you remind us what is the maximum number of allowable seats per MC ?

We don't know until after the election. It's 2000 divided by the total number of valid votes. So if there are 100 valid votes in the election, it's 20. If there are 120 votes it's 16 or 17 (I forget the rounding rule).

Also remember that you can allocate up to 1/3 of your seats off-list.

I hereby claim a seat.

Many thanks to þerxh and xpb for getting us to this point!
