In with the New

Alright then people as you can see from our party page the individuals I thought would do us proud have taken there posts, this isn't to say that there weren't others I had on my list but they were the ones that I asked first and they accepted the arduous task I asked of them.
Here we can see a glorious meeting in full swing.
At least we've not started throwing crap at each other yet!
First order of business has already been thrown open to the party membership and so far there has been universal agreement with the idea, and that is of holding a party primary for the PP elections. The idea came from one of the newer members not one of the old guard and those who accepted my friendship request have been put into mass message threads where they can discuss the proposal without fear of exclusion or retribution. This will hold true for any and all ideas or proposals that get suggested, what one thread knows all threads will be told as I won't be accused of secrecy and those who chose not to be included in a thread will have their chance to have their say be commenting on the articles that will appear with the proposal or idea in.
Most members will know what a primary is but if not then don't be afraid, just ask.
So now is the chance for you to have your say on this matter.

My only concern with primaries is that there will always be some who ignore the primary vote and stand regardless.
That though is part of the party's constitution that anyone can stand if they so choose, the object of the primary is put forwards a favoured candidate that the membership would like to see as PP. Like all things there is never any guarantee of success but at least we can try to stop or at the very least limit external influence
you mean Ajay, don't you?
there .. I've said it
Considering he never answered my question as to his past and present eRep identites, I'm prepared to continue to keep an open mind over whether Willy is Ajay.
Wait.
Who am I kidding? 😉
aKa try to make it harder for the rightful PP to reclaim his post.
Won't be harder for you then, will it?
stop with this "rightful" cr@p
you didn't found the party, so you try to get elected like everyone else
you can still click the button to run, nothing in the mechanics to stop that; however, if you're not the "chosen one" that month, you're bound to get less votes.
unless you try to rig the election again (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/scandal-in-ukpp-election-2545258/1/20)
"Chosen one"... I'm half expecting Ajay to make a Mourhino account now, just so he can claim that particular title...
Well, Ajay is certain "special" in the way people patronise people with disabilities by saying God made them "special"...
No It's to try and stop votes being bought.
As the party constitution says you can still run but you wouldn't be the preferred choice of the membership so you'd get fewer votes from members.
We had this back in the days of attempted PTO'ing of the party and continued it for a while until the situation was safe and then it sort of fell by the wayside with the endorsing of an individual by the PP come the next election as being the general way. After the Lord London debacle it would seem prudent to resurrect such a process pure and simple.
/me throws a big pile of crap at Tangbod !
Yay crap fight
