Country presidency - The Protest Vote

Day 2,658, 12:48 • Published in Netherlands Romania

• by TheAccountant

So...
We had someone who was willing to stand for GPN, however they changed their mind... so given the broken game mechanics, we couldn't remove the nomination, instead only change it.

We have no intention to win.
We're only standing because we'd rather list up as a non-vote, rather than support either of the other two candidates at present (no hard feelings guys, just didn't get any support internally to back either of you).

Our only policy at present is to do whatever it takes with regards to changing the eNL constitution, to ensure the country is as prepared as possible to deal with potential dictators, and as always, do what's in the interest of the average citizen.
Aside from that, it's all for the lolz 🙂

As reward for reading this garbage, please see election related comic:

- Steve
(GPN Party President)

So you guys are protesting two completely different agendas for the election?

What strategy do you prefer?

I have to agree with Aries Prime question, Aries and me are on both ends on the spectrum on most things including the dictator issue. Seems curious that you disagree with both our plans and not willing to support either. If you disagree with both sides what do you stand for? What are your plans? What you have written is rather vague. I am sure both Aries and me are willing to listen what GPN thinks is best for eNL

With two different agendas for the other candidates, noone should need to protest vote, unless for example both candidates are too extreme.
E.g. an extreme left and extreme right candidate mean that neither choice might fit better than the other, and neither is any good match. So than a protest vote makes sense.
If one player is clearly closer to your ideals, the only thing that makes sense is to support him.

In any case, if you really like neither of the running candidates, having no candidate maintains the problem. You as PP have the opportunity to solve it. Marking your own list as protest vote is definitely not an option.

It seems we are not even getting an answer
