I can't get my head around these initials. Could someone please tell me how many are republicanesque and how many are liberal-socialist?

[Dr House]

Well, I am a bit upset that Falx collected so many votes using the exact same party as I had but refusing to make a platform.

1. Your platform was unpalatable, a net negative
2. Aws much of a disruptive troll as he is, at least he's not you.

SLD: Social Liberal Democrats, they are right-wing social democrats
SN: Socialism Now!, communists
PUC: PoFo Unity Coalition, Christian democrats (slightly socially conservative, slightly economically liberal)
PNL: Pan-National League, right-wing nationalists (my party )
THP: The Humanist Party, obstructionist party/Balkan social club
RF: Revolutionary Front, left anarchists
CA: Conservative Alliance, vanilla conservative party
LC: Liberty Caucus, libertarians
PoP: People of PoFo, moderate fascists

[Ombrageux]

SLD: 16 > Social democrat
PUC/PUC-L: 13 > Centrists, social conservative and social liberal (L) wings
PNL:13 > Nationalists, center-left economics
CA:7 > Conservative Alliance, social conservatives, fiscal conservatives
SN:15 > Anarchists (left-wing)
POP: 4 > Fascist
LC: 7 > Libertarian
RF: 8 > Communist
THP: 13 > Void

Our economics are not center-left. While we favor poverty alleviation, we also favor forced savings, no taxation on investment, low corporate taxes, small gov't, zero inflation, and a host of other right-wing policies. Michaeluj already knows by economics, and he already knows of House's egalitarianism.

[Michaeluj]

So it's basically 50-50 between mostly right-ish people and liberal-socialists? Sounds fair.

SN:15 > Anarchists (left-wing)
POP: 4 > Fascist
LC: 7 > Libertarian
RF: 8 > Communist
THP: 13 > Void

These are backwards.

[InterestedInPolitics]

Was my vote counted?

[Demosthenes]

Who did you vote for?

[InterestedInPolitics]

The communist party, but I don't think I posted my vote in the proper thread.

[HoniSoit]

VForVendetta indicated clearly he was voting for the SN before the voting was closed but he didn't register his vote in the Voting Booth thread.

I raised the issue in that thread but my post was then deleted.

[Dr House]

Depends on whether you count the PUC as center or center-right. If it's the former, the right has a third of the seats. If the latter, a little under half.

[InterestedInPolitics]

Is this going to be another hanging chad issue like in Florida where, techically, my vote is not to be counted so that the opposition to the communist party will win?

[Zyx]

As much as I like the SN, I hope that we don't hold another election because of what VForVendetta did.

[FallenRaptor]

IIRC, Kilgore's vote for the fascist party was counted at the beginning even though he didn't post in the voting booth. I don't see why the same exception for VForVendetta can't be made.

[Demosthenes]

I was the one who deleted this.

Hmmm...this will raise some conflict of interest issues I'm afraid.

The problem is I am the only off-topic MOD available to remedy the spam in the this section, and the admin want no part of this.

I will present the case to Dan, and I will be forced to let his rule be final on it.

It will appear shady to some since the vote in question is for my party.

-There were several notes all over that thread NOT to post anything other than votes, and it was a hassel to keep it clean so Dan could deal with it all effectively. Not to mention that I only had about hald an hour to look over the final voting totals before I had to leave again...

[Cheesecake_Marmalade]

VfV had ample time to vote in the elections. That he didn't is not anyone's fault but his own.

IIRC, Kilgore's vote for the fascist party was counted at the beginning even though he didn't post in the voting booth. I don't see why the same exception for VForVendetta can't be made.

Because Kilgore announced that he was going somewhere and had already voted in the previous election.

EDIT: Also, I appreciate that Demo did not make a final decision on whether to count to vote and will chalk it up to good faith.

[HoniSoit]

I haven't been following all the parties negotiations on coalition.

Has there been any new coalition formed that has more than half of the total votes?

[Cheesecake_Marmalade]

The most likely circumstance is the PUC-SLD-PNL-PUC will be the governing coalition because at current they are the only coalition currently being discussed that has a simple majority.

[InterestedInPolitics]

Wait a second, if somebody else's vote was counted and that person did not cast his vote in the proper thread, then, it is only fair that the same exception be granted to me as well. It might be my fault that I did not post in the proper thread, but all exceptions should be made fairly and consistently. Otherwise, the exception given to the person whose vote was counted, even though he did not post in the proper thread, should no longer be counted, just like mine was never counted.
