Region: Libertatem
Classy? Bring me some of the cheapest stuff you have and an ash tray.
....Why an Ashtray?
For a fine cuban, my good man.
I'll have a...
OH WAIT I OWN THE DISTILLERY.
*Steals bottle of 50 year single-malt scotch, slips money in register and runs into dark room yelling "DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MUH LIFE"*
I'm actually going to do that. Drinking this early in the morning?
I'll take a pipin' hot cup of Venture Capitalism coffee.
*sets up beverage stand*
Come an' get your blood-and-sweat Miencraftic wine and etc.
Our wine is the best in all of Libertatem! Seriously.
Never mind that it's 7 AM, it's 7 PM somewhere else!
Alright! I'm the 20th most Condervative in the region!
I can't seem to find a flag I like well enough.
Okay. I was already gonna support you, but now its solid. I urge u to pursue amending it soon
He has my vote. This debate solidified it. Plus I would never let the RLP gain all that. They would own the board.
Apologies for the inactivity. The RLP poll is up.
the stronghold of the RLP is discomforting. No one party should have that much control.
Exactly. They have too much control in the Government.
What's interesting to note is that earlier in the month we didn't even hold a majority. But two defections changed that.
What's interesting to note is that a few months ago I was part of the most feared people in NationStates.
I don't care if u used to have only few seats, what matters now is that almost any legislation supported solely by the RLP will most likely pass. This situation is how the ACA was passed: One party rule.
What's interesting is that soon there's a possibility of this region just becoming One Party Oligarch State like U.S.S.R or NAZI Germany.
That's a pretty big exaggeration. The vast majority of bills have wide multi-party support, and there hasn't been any major opposition to a bill in over a year. A few people had issues with the FRAUD Act, but they were from within and without the party.
What an extravagant over-dramatisation. Other citizens who've been here longer will recall that the Board was once entirely appointed by the President, until I passed constitutional reform that made the Board an elected body.
I may be new to this region and I am not yet a citizen, but I urge all voters to remove the RLP's stronghold on this region. Remove the possibility of a one party region. This is not how it should work. So help me God, I will do all I can with my minimal influence among these people to ensure that if the RLP doesn't lose seats, that it doesn't gain.
Im shaking in my fedora and bowtie adorned boots.
here is the issue, there was minimal opposition to Hitler's rise because the people were ready for him, but we all know how that worked out. No, I am not comparing the RLP to Hitler in any way. I am just stating that no one party should hold so much power.
don't be smartass
I thought you liked snappy comebacks. :)
Only coming from me
The Weimar Republic had elected officials. Remember what happened there.
That's ridiculous. In January, the RLP effectively had total control over the Board. It's just politics.
So your a give but not take kinda guy. Noted... heheheh.
And Roads manages to make things awkward again. Rather good at that.
Is it just a coincidence that u are claiming that there is no issue with a VIRTUAL ONE PARTY STATE when the party would be the one you lead? Hmm?
I take a lot, but I give smartass comments. Time summed up my attitude well: anti authority and no jokes
Hey do your research, this is the same president that has given out more power to the people than any of the predecessors.
What would you say if it were any other party. You'd say its undemocratic. But it's your party.
From Wikipedia:
A single-party state, one-party state, one-party system or single-party system is a type of state in which a single political party has the right to form the government, usually based on the existing constitution. All other parties are either outlawed or allowed to take only a limited and controlled participation in elections.
lolwut
Hitler did too. Until he had enough support. So did Stalin.
Then you and me gonna get along real nice like.
that's not the point. you no English?
we'll see
that's what I said in better words
Do English well, you research regional law?
Source on your claim for Hitler? Just out of interest.
No they didn't.
Trick, we aren't some RLP dictatorship. Pev has given up most of his power. How is it anyone's fault that the only people running are RLP. Again, please remember your place. You are practically disavowing our way of governing. You have only been here for two days, your other nation wasn't active, you don't know our laws. You don't know anything about how we run. You just don't know anything. This is a free party system. Anyone who is eligible to run, can. So why do you insist on making the RLP out as some omni-present group of overlords trying to suppress people. You can come into my region and drag my traditions through the mud. You can blame all the world problems on the RLP. You can even ignorantly try to make connections. But. If you ever call my president Hitler again I swear to God I'll kill you with the chair your flag was talking to. You don't like the RLP, campaign. You don't like the way this region runs, or the fact that there is a super-majority of Reaganists. There is a door with your name on, right over there.

I don't think soÂ
Also, the poll says seat 3 and should say seat 4.
And Pevvania is right we only had 2 seats earlier this month, but the awesomeness of Ronald Reagan drew everyone in.
I appreciate the out pouring of support, but I can assure you that I am running only because differences in policy with the RLP. There is no conspiracy for one party control, they simply have a majority. We didn't even have an elected president until the RLP became active region wide. Pev has done more for this region than most, if not all former delegates.
While I may disagree with him on the future of the region I can assure you he is not vying for a dictatorial position. He is the one that brought elections in the first place!
Thank you, Boardman. Now that he knows that he's the only one who thinks that this is some conspiracy. Maybe now he can quit crying and actually try to work for the bettering of the region. In one way or another. Just actually being productive rather than burdensome.
That block didn't have an effect on the RLP. We just took the majority because of two defections.
did u not see what I said? I said I WASNT comparing him to hitler at all
What's up with the quoting right there?
[quote=ronald_reagan_and_rick_grimes;5784267]What's up with the quoting right there?/quote]
I second the question
Throwback Flag initiated.
also, don't cop an attitude with me
if u have an issue, say it to my face. I would prefer telegram because I gotta go soon and I don't feel like digging through the RMB when I get back
Also, I shall cop whatever the hell I want with you after the vile that you have spewed on my colleagues. You obviously called Pev hitler. You're an idiot. But, I didn't call you an idiot. See how that works? No, I'm sure you don't.
I am leaving the RLP, and joining the LOP.
Good luck to you Hallo. Will you still be running for Seat Four?
Yes, I will
'Spose the primary can be taken down then.. lol
Congratulations! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
For some reason I think trick shot and WASP are the same person.
Convenient how one disappeared as soon as the other came...
I think one of them may be from TFI.
They are both a pain in the arse.
Muh and I have started a little project. Please send someone over there. We don't want it to be a cc of Libertatem, but we'd like to have some of you there.
I have a project I've had for a long time, even before I joined Libertatem.
Ours is called "Alliance" because we came up with the idea together. We aren't a raiding alliance.
See that quote? That's what I said
You're an idiot. But I'm not calling you an idiot.
By the way. Elections started today.

Not a lie

How'd you know?
