[MDP] Election Overview
Venoms III
It was a glorious celebration at the MDP Channels on the rizon channel last night as we took home a outstanding 10 seats in congress. It all went down quickly as the MDP council used sneaky but effective methods to secure seats at the last minute. As the victory Cheer's roared through the valley’s of the eCanada as the MDP team return to there home’s as the other “More Influential” parties walked home in shame.....
Fun Fact
The MD Party consists of 103 members with 10 congress elected. Meaning that on average each congress member received 10 votes each.
The Military Dictatorship Party never stops growing so why not join the effort and help out support us at the up-coming Presidential elections or even prepare for the next congress election.

Now Quotes From The Election Night....
“Today we stand with our heads held high; Tomorrow we continue our great leadership throughout eCanada as we continue to lay out the stepping stones of success.”---Venoms
"Speaking as the PP of a top 5 party. If I had 150+ members and still only managed to get 5 seats I would seriously consider stepping down and letting someone more capable take control of my party" --- Muglack.
I wise man once told in a 7 eleven once told me I like getting attention as I am a wh*re. Oh wait I was that man---- Dominik
“Janos cripples the party by getting rid of the few good people it has then complains."---Also Dominik
“Glad to see Addys pipe dream fall flat on its face for another month”---Rylde
“I think what the MDP showed tonight is that when it comes down to it your party membership doesn't matter. Month after month the MDP seems to be punch way above it's weight-class by concertating on recruiting active players and running quality candidates. The citizens of eCanada notice what we're doing and we're rewarded in the ballot box." ---Muglack
"I'd just like to thank my mom, dad, high school basketball coach, Jesus, Muglack and Janos Leinport for making this so damn easy."---Dominik
And many many more....
The MDP will continue to strive for success throughout the remaining of this term until yet another battle ready PP takes over command.

Stay Classy.
Whats class and where can I purchase some.
MDP won the game.
Now what to do for the next 29 days...?
Seriously, what do you plan to do?
s
Same thing we do every month.
Find new and foolish ways to spend our victory gold.
🙂 that did make me smile.
Congrats on your new Speaker, too. (you'll win that game too)
Dominik for speaker this month maybe. MDP wil choose who it wants and and make it so.
if your party had half the organization we did u could be relevant.
We have a new speaker?
I didn't even know we had talked about it.
Maybe they made a post on the forums and I just can't read it till the 16th.
You know, the day after my PP term ends. Because that was a big coincidence.
What I want to know is.... Are justice elections this month because that's a vote I would be interested in the results of.
/me figures out what 2/3rds of 40 is then counts seats and looks at party results
Yup, very interested.
The new constitution has no term limits on Supreme Court Justices.
We stay for as long as we want, now.
Seems to me that much the same way Canadian senators that were appointed for life wouldn't be subject to elections if they changed the rules, the current justices should also end their terms and need to be re-elected before the "no term limit" kicks in.
Might be interesting for congress to take a look at that.
Yes, there are amendment procedures for everything. I'm sure it was an oversight on Kilgore's part ~ another proud MDP member, might I say.
Aww come on, Plug. Kilgore's all right and you know it.
Gotta love the MDP. Hu-ah!
Yah he's alright. I mean, we don't like him enough to re-elect him, but he does ok.
Just like Fram. Nowhere near the ballot. Last minute blocker in a Top 3 region. Could I have run Fram and squeezed out an extra seat based on name recognition and it being Quebec? Sure I could of.
But that's not what I'm about. I'm about eCanada. I do what's right.
Yes, Dom, Kilgore is pretty awesome. I meant every compliment I gave him about the new Constitution - 2 years of "let's do this" was made a reality in less than 2 months. Too bad he wasn't deemed a worthy candidate for SVU re-election.
He was too far behind.
Would of taken 4 votes to tie, and if they got any it wouldn't have worked out.
We were getting thin at the end and he just didn't have the support necessary to put him in striking distances. Sometimes the hard call needs to be made for the good of the party.
It's the same reason I pulled myself out early in the day when I was only a couple behind. Those votes were better spent elsewhere. 2 seats is better than 1 no matter who the one is, even if it's yourself. That's what party politics should boil down too, and that's why MDP does so well.
We won the game
Plugson wins words.
Aside from getting people into congress, what does MDP accomplish?
Their PP couldn't even vote on changing the constitution because he was banned from the forum.
Their previous PP, despite having 10 seats in congress in both his terms, stood for nothing aside from flippant remarks.
It one thing to carry the football 30 times a game, but what are you doing with your touches? MOO gets less touches, and scores when they have the ball.

Actually, you're wrong. The more important members got 15+ votes where the less important more nubby members only got 3.
lol Addy. Congress is way to divided to do anything of substance. What did anyone do in there the last 2 months.
MDP may be your scapegoat though your in need of anything you can get.
Ferret you obviously don't understand elections well enough and you will fare no better in CPP when strong memebrs such as Octavian can't get support at the end.
Ferret you would of needed 4 votes at the buzzer to get in. We just didn't have the SVUs in place to send that many your way. I can honestly say you were a priority right until the end and I even spoke with Termz to see if he was planning on pushing the CPP candidate ahead of you and he said he wouldn't so that we could get you in instead.
Unfortunately Firgus had different thoughts and got a huge bump making it impossible to elect you.
As I said before hard decisions had to be made including stopping the support of myself which I did early in the day (16:00 game time) so that I could ensure members got in in other regions. It's all a numbers game and sadly some people just fall short.
No limit on terms was not an oversight. The second addendum to the constitution states that until new legislation is brought forward, the judicial procedure from the old constitution stands. I had planned on spending this month working with congress and the judiciary to develop a "Judicial Orders Act" outlining courtroom procedure. The courts however are currently interpreting the lack of term limits as an implication that no limits exist.
Congress still has the legal authority to impose a term limit, however the judiciary has the legal authority to deem it unconstitutional. It's as if somebody constructed a Constitution in such a way that our separate branches of government will have to WORK TOGETHER rather than engaging in a never-ending power struggle. All this being said, there is still a vacant seat in the Supreme Court that can be filled this month.
In regards to the MDP showing in this election, first off Ferret, I like to think that I'm a pretty important MDP member and I didn't get SVU support. It happens sometimes and we have to find a way to move on.
Secondly, let me remind everybody that the new constitution was an MDP initiative. I also put forward a proposal on how to reform the immigration system but got shut down by the forum admin because one of them didn't want to create a new section. I also put forward a handful of proposals trying to get congress to take some of it's new cabinet powers but got shut down because everyone in the other parties are so distrusting that they're afraid to try anything new.
The MDP is trying to put things forward, and although we had the most seats, we were far from being the majority. Sadly, the majority of congress is satisfied with the status quo and so paranoid that every single person in this country is a thief that they are afraid to do anything. Mind you, a two week argument over whether or not Tem should be banned for nominating Adam Sutler didn't help either. It seems that congress is disinterested in legitimate reforms, but they'll eat up lulz nonsense.
