Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on Yesterday at 12:07:57 PMSad to see the issue of candidate-based voting not further acknowledged. Personally, I'm not willing to give up on this project just yet, as I still think it's worth considering.


I will also continue to advocate for a candidate-based voting system. As I've state before, I believe it would solve a lot of the issues we're having to grapple with in the current system. I am still uncomfortable with party lists on principle and would prefer political parties to be decentralized enough to let individual candidates take the lead in their own campaigns.

I also don't buy the argument that it's too hard so we shouldn't bother with it. If the right solution is a little bit more complicated than the current flawed system but actually solves a lot of the issues we all know exist, we shouldn't be afraid to implement it regardless of how it would impact us politically or ideologically because it's what's right for the nation in the long-term. It's also on us as elected officials to explain to the public thoroughly the change and why it's necessary. I believe our citizens are sophisticated enough to understand and would appreciate reforms that would actually empower them at the ballot box.

El Ziu/The Ziu / CRL
Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - Yesterday at 01:15:52 PM
Has the CRL been wiped? I was looking to review my own submission and it says no messages.

I plan on updating this to be an act and amendment.

I don't support this. This is another paranoia-based legislative proposal. Even if the Government is in caretaker status it is still the elected government with all the capabilities that affords.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 07:55:18 AMFrom Stage 17 on, my Mençeis dropped in the ranks at a steady rate.  They finish nearly last, a testament to the shortcomings of my "buy the highest priced favorites and then try to fill in the gaps" strategy.  For TCAT France, I'll be switching it up.

Not a terrible strategy at all, and actually one that worked very well in the past, especially in TCAT France, ironically!

Unfortunately this time the second highest priced favourite, Pellizzari, was still a bit too inexperienced for a three week stage race and bombed. Next month, the second highest priced favourite is almost certainly going to be Vingegaard himself. Pretty reliable and hard to pass up on.
