Married, but as a group marriage polygamous. The cost of providing security for the First Family should bankrupt the state.

Hmm... I do believe I will be available to fly over. If I would be welcome that is...

YESSSSS!
The wedding will be so cute and gay!! It is going to be amazing!
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
All are welcome. No need to bring gifts but they are appreciated.

Single. Married to the job/country.

If you think any news article comments are a direct representation of wider political opinion then you are as misinformed as you are delusional.

Love you too, Yuk.

Stop trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen.

Boo you, whore.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Midasia
You're only picking on me because I'm almost too gay to function.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Midasia
Y'all are gay
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Confederal States, Midasia
Don't you mean w'all gay?
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Was just thinking to myself. While I do want independence with all my heart, I have this gut feeling we'll lose a second referendum. Something in my soul is telling me it's just not going to happen.
I think I clicked the wrong option on an issue.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I've done that a couple of times myself.
Penguania And Antarctica, Midasia
Impossible, hunty
Well, I mean, we have a lot of multisexual people

Now that you mention it, I have heard of Bosch. I stand corrected.
So, if you're from Nuremgard, why are you white?

Oh, my God, Jas. You cant just ask people why they're white.
But to answer your question, most people from Nuremgard are white so...

You could at least use a dark blue, and a dark yellow for that matter, as on my flag, not a radioactive blend of retina-burning hell
Or go back to the original all-blue and red colors

George Carlin! Probably my favorite of the American narrators for our TV show. "Everyone appreciates your honesty, until you're honest with them," said Thomas. "Then you're an ***hole."
Actually, there are a few videos that joke about that (they put George Carlin's comedy quotes into his narrations of our TV show). It's pretty raunchy, but funny!

I don't even know anymore
but in other news, Mayor Weinberger (D) of Burlington won a third term today, defeating Carina Driscoll (P) who is Bernie Sanders step-daughter. Mayor Weinberger got 49% Driscoll got 35% and a third guy got 16% who more than likely was a spoiler to Driscoll.

They even used to have STV but got rid of it cuz they were fooled by some people

Au Minbo
Speaking of STV, Maine's Citizens' Veto was recently certified. Ranked Choice will be used for the Primaries, and, pending another referendum, the general election
Jaslandia, Au Minbo
Are you confusing STV for IRV? STV is for multi-winner elections, while IRV is for single-winner elections.
Vista Major
I often see them used interchangably here.
Au Minbo
That could be arranged.

But there is a clear difference between the two. One is for single-winner elections, while the other is for multi-winner elections.
On a similar note, what voting systems do the members of this region support? I support CPO-STV for multi-winner elections and Condorcet-IRV for single-winner elections.
People use them in language as almost the same, especially considering their methods are similar in most places.
IRV, mostly
What are your thoughts on party-list proportional representation?
Considerably positive, but recognizing that independents are at at unfair disadvantage, which hampers my support for it somewhat
In your opinion, what is the best voting system for the US?
Vista Major
IRV for President, and Proportional Representation w/o Congressional districts. Same for other single-member and multi-member offices.

Attention Members of Parliament

Cheese Crackers and Pink Lemonade, please
I wonder what'll happen next. It seems half the continent is falling, politically, like dominoes. They'll make it through for sure, but how well? Who's to say.
I hate driving, really. And all these cars make me worry. Need MUCH more public transportation. And autonomous vehicles can't come fast enough.
I love them all. We'll, except The Empire Strikes Back; that was meh. And maybe Episode II, all things considered. But I didn't dislike any of them, persay
I entertained the notion of starting a Virginian Independence Party. But DC would have a fit, so. But yes, I would support it (within reason).
Dear COLDR

Cheese crackers? Did we recently cut our Tea Time budget to where we can't afford actual cheese and crackers? Gimme some peanuts, I guess. Hrmph.
And unless you live in Flint, drink your water from the tap. I'll have some tea, thank you.
South Africa - It's certainly not the North Africa. Nor is it East Africa. It's close to West Africa- just head a bit South from there.
Cars - A rather random movie to ask us about, no? Never seen it, personally.
Star Wars - Always a fun time. When you need to binge a series, it's right up there with Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, and The Godfather.
Independent Nation - No, the sovereign state of Saskatchewan sounds bit silly, alliteration notwithstanding. But if Western Canadian provinces don't eventually get a fair deal on equalization and representation in the Senate, I would support a Western Canadian state.

I'll be having steamed clams and I will be drinking pink lemonade.
South Africa has seen quite a bit of political turmoil recently. Their corrupt and largely unpopular president was just deposed, and the new president is planning to seize the land of white farmers in the country, a move that I think will simply increase racial tension in the country and further destabilize it. While I understand the plight of black South Africans during Apartheid, I think reparations are a better solution to paying them back for what they as a people had to go to instead of seizing the land of white farmers, even if that seizure came with compensation.
Because I live in the suburbs, cars really matter where I live, which I think is a mistake. The US has gone the wrong way when it comes to how it incentivized car usage after WWII, which became even worse in the 70s due to whites moving to the suburbs. Cars really shouldn't be used inside of communities, and I think cities would benefit massively if they focus more on walkability and on public transportation instead of continuing to rely on cars, which reduces social cohesion, worsens the problem of climate change, and creates quite a bit of pollution. In fact, I would go as far as to say that cars just should not be allowed within cities.
I cannot comment on Star Wars because I have never watched it. I just don't watch many movies in general.
As someone from California, this is an interesting question. And while the idea of independence is interesting, it isn't going to happen. States inside the United States cannot leave the United States, even with the consent of the people, at least to my knowledge. But it would be interesting to see California become a lab for leftist ideas. Even more so for a possible independent Cascadian state.

And to add onto the bonus topic, because I am also from Iraq, I think talking about an independent Assyrian state would be interesting, as my ancestry comes back to Assyria. While I would prefer for the traditional Assyrian homeland to remain as a part of Iraq, I would support Assyrian independence if Kurdistan becomes independent and encompasses the Assyrian homeland, as the Kurds have historically massacred and discriminated against my people.

I see voting systems are up for discussion. I think voting systems are what I'll be doing my politics essay on this year.
