The June CP elections took place yesterday, and I must say, wow. It is amazing seeing the reactions of some individuals to the fact Oinyo was leading in the race. How does this relate to the CPF? Well today I am going to analyze what went right, what went wrong and just what happened in this election as it pertains to the Canadian Progressive Front, even though other individuals are involved in certain portions, I will be sticking to analyzing the CPF.
This review is not meant to hurt and feelings, but only present the honest truth so that we may learn and grow from this.
Analysis
First off, Dozzer, our presidential nominee received 23% of the vote or 79 votes, compare that to 112 members from the CPF, and a decline from last month in May where Dozzer received 27% or 105 votes.
Why did Dozzer receive less votes? Well this is attributable to many factors, the chief one probably being his decision to endorse Shoi of the Military Dictatorship Party halfway through the day to try and defeat Oinyo, despite the fact Shoi and Dozzer were virtually tied for second at that point.
As Dozzer was the democratically selected CP nominee from our party after going through a Primary I find it disgraceful that Dozzer decided to bow out and endorse Shoi. To the 80% or so of our Primary voters who voted for Dozzer in the Primary as their preferential first choice, I find this unacceptable he would give up so easily. That is not even mentioning the fact that Shoi finished last in our Primary and that not one voter in the Primary voted Shoi as their preferential first choice candidate.
To top it all off, Dozzer decided to leave the country today and take a break and refused a position in Oinyo's cabinet as dMoFA. I don't find this appropriate behavior for someone who was trusted to be the CPF standard bearer this election, who was supposed to carry forward and represent the CPF.
Another important topic is the amount of trolling, flaming, and needless bashing going on in the media and in the Moose Call. One of the tenets of our Party is the promotion of a positive political sphere. Neither the actions of Dozzer or certain members of the Party were doing so yesterday during the election. Clan Wolf and Oinyo were painted as foes that would destroy the country should Oinyo be elected, even though before the whole mudslinging campaign began amongst all individuals a few days ago it was commonly agreed that all three candidates were well suited to become CP.
I find this type of behavior completely inappropriate and it makes us no better than other parties who employed these sorts of tactics in the past. I'm not going to mention any names because doing so would only promote more conflict. I prefer to rule by consensus, not conflict, it's just not my style.
The CPF must do more in coming months if we want to have a successful CP candidate and ensure that the person chosen will do the best to truly represent the Party and to present such a candidate as qualified, presidential, and most importantly someone who represents the tenets of our party.
Announcements
With the analysis out of the way I do have an announcement to make, I do not plan on running for re-election as Party President, or running for it again anytime in the near future. This election has confirmed to me that we need new leaders with new visions, new ideas and a new direction going forward. I do not feel that my own activity has been satisfactory enough during this term, I feel it would be healthier to have someone else, new blood, in charge of the CPF, and for this person to go with an idea instead of maintaining the status quo.
To that end, Churchill93 has already released an article about it, so CPF members should take a read.
I still plan on being active with the Party and would be more than willing to assist the new Party President with certain functions of the Party and of course in assisting new players.
Thank you

Just to be an ass, FIRST!
I'm pretty sure any large comment war or controversy surrounding this article still can't top my record of this one:

But seriously, I like Dozzer, but he should have deferred to you if he was bowing out.
I like Dozzer too, I don't want him to be too offended, but I feel he did not represent the Party equitably or presidentially, I hope he does not take my remarks as a sign that I have a personal vendetta against him - which is false.

It's amusing how you basically bash me, Exalted and others that decided to do what's ultimately good for Canada and support a candidate to defeat Oinyo, while you say nothing about the dirty attack campaign that came from CW. Have you seen their party feed? Before I left for US I went in their party and saw it. Representing the CPF? How? By collaborating in a CW-led Cabinet? No thank you. CW is what MDP was some months ago.
Allying the CPF with the CW (and in fact, with any other party) is one of the worst mistakes to do, and it was a thing that Funky fought against. In fact, when I became PP of this party, Funky sent me a message, and one of the first recommendation was that I not ally with any other party. And it was a good thing to do.
And in regards to the Oinyo administration, you'll see how much of a failure it will be on the 4th of July.
You're a nice guy, Auk, but you really need to get a spine, because in this moment, you don't have one.
Wish you well in the future Dozzer and hope to see you back here soon.
I totally forgot that those people who occupy the other Political parties are not Canadian, why would we ever think of cooperating with anyone! The only good part about you retracting half way through the day, was to avoid you getting anywhere near the CP seat. You cannot handle any sort of confrontation or public speak without turning it into an unnecessary conflict. On the subject of Funky, he is the biggest troll out there so next time you want to cut down other parties and their members, I suggest you look inward (apart from you not being here anymore 🙂
"You cannot handle any sort of confrontation or public speak without turning it into an unnecessary conflict."
Bingo. Yet when we said it, people said we were trolling.
I'm glad that Canadians recognized Dozzer needed to be stopped from becoming CP and didn't embarrass CFP on a national level.
This is an article only about the CPF, I know that the campaign was dirty all around, I did not find your behavior appropriate for a CPF CP candidate and that is what I said here today.
You have your own opinions about CW, I have mine, and I'm sorry I see you took it more personally than I intended.
Auk has some points.
As for "the dirty attack campaign" from CW: as far as I can tell, it was only one or two people (depending on whether they're separate people - I'm just sayin').
All it takes.
some got to get there hands dirty, or else there is no point in taking a bath lol
We didn't have any name calling, despite being called names. Nothing said that we couldn't prove. And we asked Dozzer to explain his conduct to redeem his reputation and he declined. I respect your opinion, but I don't see that as dirty. I see it as fulfilling my civil duty to Canada.
This was an excellent article. I support everything that was said from the CPF perspective. Good work Auk.
Come on, Blue Moose. Lets not air our dirty laundry in the public and devolve into a mess of infighting.
Our history is too proud for this. Lets take our lumps, learn from them, and move on together - united.
I think people already noticed the dirty laundry before this article...
Touche. Still, a front divided is bad for business, does us no good to let it carry on.
Strength and Honour
Indeed.
Someone wake up Funky already!
Funky will ride in at the moment we think all is lost

welp. time to get a name and avatar change to Funky_Q and win next CP election. you know what to do, klop (;
Strength and Honour. o7
Auk Rest maybe Dozzer didnt fulfill some of his obligations to the party when he became your nominee but niether did you fulfill any of your grandiose promises you made when running for PP
This nation was built on broken promises
Which is one reason I am not standing for re-election.
My mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all.
Therefore, I'm mute on this matter 😉
Hmm... I was almost going to make a joke about your mother but actually, that seems like reasonable advice. You should give her a call today. Unless you live at home, in which case you should make dinner.
