Region: Libertatem
The UK one? Idk, ask Pev. He's currently in the UK and more attune to their politics.
i thought the US was a 2 party state?
It's effectively a two party state due to first past the post.
If the Libertarian Party and libertarian Republicans were to (re)unite, the LPUSA would have enough votes to break the 5% and officially become a third party alongside the Reps and Dems, and also be invited to the national debates.
The Reps know this and in order to monopolize the voting block, keep Ron Paul and other libertarian candidates on their side by offering them positions (but never grant them the opportunity to become president)
so republicans and democrats have denominations, kinda like Christianity?
It is, but the US has at least hundreds of small parties.
The two biggest parties after the Republicans and Democrats are the Libertarians and the Greens.
Factions, not demoninitions.
The Republican Party is effectively a coalition.
Indeed, the GOP may even need to become more libertarian as to avoid the defection concerns.
That would be nice, but the mainstream Republican Party is full of authoritarian hypocrites who prioritise denying rights to gays and expanding the military-industrial complex over downsizing government.
Perhaps even more than that. CPAC was attended overwhelmingly by libertarian Republicans.
It's full of incompetents. But they're not an outright socialist party anymore, thank God.
The 'Ron Paul wing' of the party actually took over the Iowa GOP a few years ago. It's a real thorn in the side of the RNC.
That'd be tough. One of the LP's biggest challenges has been learning how to successfully mobilise.
But then the Democrats would win alot of elections because of the split
They'd have to say good-bye to the Fundies and Moderates then, although it might come to that.
The only thing that worries me is that the Democrats would absorb even them. However, I doubt the Dems, despite their "stability," could effectively balance all factions from the blue dogs to the socialists.
Ikr? the torys and labour are the same thing, they are selfish and dont benefit anyone, the liberal democrats are even worse. UKIP is not perfect but they are the only ones that are any different.
My point exactly.
The social aspect might be needed to pry many more socially liberal individuals. The fundies aren't a winning formula outside of the Deep South.
Are there any bourbon Democrats left? They could be good recruits to the Libertarian Party.
They all died off after the 30s and became Welfare Socialists.
Meh, if I were a citizen of the UK, I'd probably vote UKIP, although I utterly hate their social policies, xenophobia, and rampant protectionism.
Their not xenophobic they just think we should be more like Australia and should be able to choose the most usefull immigrants to us and not just let everyone in. the uks debt is worth something like 900% of our total GDP, things aint too good.
That's because of all the wars and the years that the Labour party was in power.
it annoyed me that they still say they are for the working class, you couldn't get further from the truth. i hope we dont ever get a coalition government again the conservatives and lib dems where terrible.
So the cord that charges this laptop broke, and the laptop only has like half an hour of battery life.
Good thing I'm going back home tomorrow anyways. Heh.
What do you want to see happen today?
With the adoption of the new policies in the Board, any Board member can propose a vote rather than just a Chairman. All Board members should be taking suggestions on changes to the region.
Can someone explain the government here?

Merci beaucoup, monsieur. Vous les gens sont tellement gentils!
Qui est le président?
Pevvania e' il presidente, signore.
Le président est Pevvania. Je suis le vice-président et je suis actuellement sans opposition de monter au bureau à la fin de ce mois.
This amendment that you are voting on, is it essentially saying that you can kick anyone out without apparent reason?
HEIL CITE DE SAINT MICHELE.
SIE SEHEN MICH ROLLEN, SIE HASSEN.

I don't know for sure and have withdrawn my vote out of concern for the time being.
Wouaw, c'est pas facile de deviner ta nationalité en tout cas...
Sale tête de kraut allemand.
Parlez-vous de moi?
Sind Sie verrückt, Bruder?
Ha ha ha
Google translate LOL.
But I'm sure he appreciated the effort.

Affirmatif. Tu es Normand ?
Hahaha
Bạn có mùi Đức, quay trở lại hầm bẩn thỉu của bạn.
Non, je viens d'Aquitaine. Bordeaux.
And to complete, I fart in your general directionnnnn
Ja ha ha.
Mont Saint Michel is a lovely place, though. My name comes from Ville Saint Michel in Montreal.
Have you ever been there to see the tides?
Ok. Bah bienvenue à Libertatem. J'espère que tu t'y plairas, même si ici on est plutôt libertariens, or je vois que tu as interdit l'entreprise privée.
NEIN NEIN NEIN
Liberalisten und neokonservativen
The ammendment above is not stating we can kick anyone out for any apparent reason.
That was actually the funniest thing. I have no idea why I have anti-business policies, I am a capitalist. My nation's description does a very poor job of representing my real views.
Party system is privatized. That may have good or bad consequences, depending what you believe.
First libertarians, or early liberals, were all French. Bastiat is almost like the Marx of libertarians.
If you are not a citizen.
Ist gut, ja?
Nien!
Unfortunately no, but you do get a few Democrats with good, if not great, fiscal policies. Jerry Brown was a fairly conservative governor during his first two terms in the 70s and 80s and oversaw significant decreases in the tax burden. Bill Richardson was the Democratic Governor of New Mexico and proceeded to gut taxes and spending, even more so than his predecessor Gary Johnson. The Blue Dogs were also a thing for many years until they began to die out in the 90s.
This is basically my view on them as well. Despite their disadvantages, they hold some potentially game-changing policy views that would easily win my vote. Bringing back guns and withdrawing from the EU are damn fine policies.
The deficit and the national debt grew enormously in that period, especially under Brown.
No, just non-citizens. This amendment will make our immigration system more like real world models. Undesirables and militants are deported, while law-abiding residents can apply for citizenship and become subject to trials by law.
Lol
JA
Very, it is a good ammendment.
Vous êtes le président?
Yes pev is the President.
Please say I translated that correctly*
"Neoliberalisten"
Our almost retired president.
Yes, you did. Vous (you) êtes (vous-are) le (masc.-the) président (president)?
It would appear. When are the elections? Assuming there are elections.
Oui. J'ai vais allez President de Libertatem depuis October 2013.
Bewerten Freie Demokratische Partei!
DEUTSCHLAND!
Yes!

Vraiment? Vous n'avez pas servi très longtemps.
Yeah, too bad they registered very bad results during the last election.
I fear that the future in Germany without Merkel will be very red, or green-red.
Maybe once the Left takes over Europe we will have more rightist immigrants coming from Europe to the United States!
Terms are four months long. He serving just shy of a year which is a pretty long time in-game.
lefties will never take over europe
Now, I gave Saint the password, who gave it Hermesgrad?

Tomorrow: Lefty conquest of Europe.
Ah. Okey-dokey.
At least they'll never take Switzerland. Here we all look for them during the hunting season, and they have pretty bad camo, and pretty bad smell too so they are an endangered specie.
*fingers in ears* i cant hear you
Not really. Most of Europe is slowly drifting rightward. Even Sweden.
Depends on the "right wing" in question. Privatization? Great. Immigration restrictions, nationalism, and general fvckery? No waay.
Vous êtes suisse? Beaucoup de francophones là-bas.
whats wrong with that?
Yes and the big joke is that most of the time, these " far right political parties " are even more socialists than the actual socialists, on economy. Like in France or Finland.
Yeah, Europe's future smells like sh*t.
beaucoup is my second favourite french word
Ouai, environ 22% de la population est native francophone.
The first defies the individual's right to move without state interference. The state has no legitimate claim to land, only private individuals do through homesteading (ala Locke).
Privatization goes in hand to hand with less immigration restrictions. As a classical liberal, I attest to this greatly.
Haha, what's your first?
Nationalism impedes the economy by dividng people and restricting free trading. Where goods don't flow, weapons will. In this case the libertarian must be internationalist.
That is because they are based on Nazism.
d'accord, its just really nice to say...but so is bibliotheque
Typical English.
typischen Frosch
what? the word hey are how you say? good to say.

Kartoffelnsalat !

Great read for any 'tarian that has an extra 5 minutes to spare.
"Taking durr jobs"
This is the stupidest argument. A job is not property, a job is a contract. You cannot "own" a job, in any sense of the word, and nobody can "take" your job.
