Econ of Voting: Endorsing SaraDroz for CP

Day 1,591, 00:47 • Published in Canada Canada

The Economics of Voting:
There are two types of candidates for Congress and Country Presidency:
1. Those that will give you bribes to vote for them and promise much (I call them Lenins)
2. And Those that just promise much 🙂

Well here's another type of candidate that will get my vote for sure: SaraDroz
and plz take a look at ther campaign article
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/cp-campaign-opening-remarks-1995731/1/20
and tell me what you think of her proposed policies.

I know Sara is a very active user that likes using seminal strategic concepts to play this game.

I wonder if Rolo will endorse her candidacy, I expect it'll be cheaper for him to do so.

And a message for newbies that are willing to get bribes in order to vote, rather than fight for their ideas to be implemente😛 at least sell yourself for a decent sum! cause 20 tanks is PATHETIC! 🙂

1. Buying votes for Presidency is useless, unless you are in Saudi Arabia or thereabouts.
2. Lenin was never actually in an election, neither did he bribe.
3. You forgot those that don't promise anything and just sit as candidates because they can

Other than that, nice article : D

@Hashspy thanks.. Lenin as in : someone that promises utopia 🙂 ... not as a democratic means of getting power.
I won't agree with point 1. it matters if you have 100 voters willing to vote for you for a bribe.
@Sara YW 🙂

Wanna know something funny....?

lucifer_ultionis has been on my voters list in the past

meaning, he has sold his vote at an election...

Hypocrisy much?

SaraDroz Day 1,591, 20:45

He to be not so guilty himself casts guilt on others... Would be amusing if it wasn't another hypocrisy in itself.

@Rolo
You're absolutely right Rolo: in the past 🙂

besides, I will tell you more, in the past i thought the ONLY way to get elected is to give bribes: i thought it was a market transaction just like any other... That is because in my opinion, voters are not informed, it costs to read newspapers and it costs them too much to get properly informed (economics of voting)

What I'm trying to do is very easy: DECREASE the cost of being informed, because there are different types of market transactions: it's one thing if you create wealth yourself and then distribute it, and it's a complete different thing if you take 999 gold from congress and then use the same money to buy votes to get re-elected.

I object to the characterization of 20 tanks in exchange for a vote as a sale.

It's a rental people - just like the world's oldest profession.
