Announcing the Parti Tafialistà

[Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP]

I registered this party a while ago, but I figured it'd only be fair to announce its existence to the wider public as well.
My new party will stand for nothing and will refrain from political ads of any kind, since I'll win seats whether you vote for me or not. One vote is more than enough to get in.

On that note, see you in the Cosă.

HAHAHAHA it's not as easy as that

You also have to pay $10!

HAHAHAHA it's not as easy as that

Did you introduce a two-vote threshold while I was looking away or something? If not then yes, it is as easy as that!

You also have to pay $10!

Don't worry, I have more than just $10 to spare, but also I have more than enough time to pay the fee after the first results are published, as far as I know. Speaking of which: if a party were to get zero seats for whatever reason (not the case here, one vote is enough), do they still have to pay the fee?


This is gonna be interesting!

I've received no record of any party paying fees yet.

Only parties with Cosa seats pay the fee.

I've received no record of any party paying fees yet.

Which is because no party has paid a fee yet.

Slightly more precisely, the only consequence of not paying a fee is not getting your seat(s). If you paid in advance, you can't get a refund for not getting a seat. This is because of El Lexhatx 9.2: "Once a fee has been received by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue and/or their appointed agents, it is not refundable for any reason."

(At least, that's how I would handle it administratively with my Burgermeister hat on. I am not offering an official legal interpretation with my Puisne Justice hat on, and in any case I'd have to recuse myself as a Justice if anyone sued the Burgermeister for their fee back.)
