Sad to see the Progressive Alliance is withdrawing from this agreement! Their more recent pledge to "work with anyone" appears to be taking precedence over their previous, more principled stand.

The pursuit of power at any cost is not a good look on them.

Anyone remember this classic meme from three elections back?



It seems we're doing it again. The voters for the party associated with Talossa's infamous sex pest - never seen outside of election time! - are literally copy-pasting their votes.

The public ballot encourages this "Attack of the Clones" stuff, which degrades democracy. But the conservative tradition in Talossa has never really rated democracy so highly. They like things like the public ballot - and oppose things like party lists - because it's easier and more "fun" to take short-cuts around rigorous democratic practice.

Remember - before the ancestors of the URL came into the Kingdom and established democratic reforms like the secret ballot and the party list - these people ran Talossa for nine terms of absolute majority government, because these anti-democratic features favour the incumbent. They yearn to get back to those days.

We've got two parties coming out of the RUMP tradition that democracy doesn't matter because it's not "quirky and fun" enough; one anarchist party; and one absolute monarchist party. The URL are the only party in this election which rigorously supports democracy.

If I have seats in the next Ziu, I will campaign vigorously for universal secret ballot. We probably even need to bring back discussion of the Real Cosa and the unicameral Ziu again. As we've seen in the monarchy debate, you can't reach a compromise with the "democracy-optional" post-RUMP tendency. You have to defeat them fair and square.

Finally a victory!  Tric'hard, your advice really helped, thank you.  I guess in theory I should have known that a goalkeeper is an important position to fill on my team.

I have entered your votes for parts A and C.

Your votes for parts B and D are invalid, and have been registered as Present votes, because in the first case S:r Tzaracomprada is running for the Florencian Senate seat while you're a citizen of Fiovă, and I cannot even record him as a write-in choice because he is not eligible to represent a different province anyway; and in the second case, because  your province elects people to its Presidium, not parties, so a vote for a party is meaningless. The latter instance happened to you in the last general election as well.

In other words, you appear to have likely copypasted someone else's vote, both in the last and in the current elections. You should probably avoid doing so, because just by living in a different province you're likely spoiling your ballot and forfeiting your chance at having your vote counted.
