ADP PP WTF

Day 3,031, 09:39 • Published in Australia Cuba • by Dread Pirate Hobbits


Today I announce my candidacy for the presidency of the eAustralian Democratic Party, which unlike its real world counterpart is still very much alive and well.

Why the picture of Frilly Necked Tony you ask? Well, I will be taking a gum leaf out of the tree of our dearthly departed Lizard of Oz. If no other candidates present themselves I will be running against an empty chair.

Should I win the election, but with less than 50% of the party membership turning out to vote, I will assume that most members prefer an empty chair to the other options, and I shall henceforth defer to the chair on all matters.

To make it simple for you, here is a short list of the perceived benefits of voting for either myself or the chair.



ME:

There is no me in MEK, just MEK.

I am eager to engage all ADP members and represent the voice of the whole party in discussion papers.

I will still have my own opinions, but I will endeavour to make a clear distinction between my own views and those of the party membership.

I will make adjustments to the senate ballot order based on which candidates I think are most faithful to the party and its values of democracy, liberty, and trying to find that elusive middle ground.



THE CHAIR:

Will offer you solid wooden prose, none of that long winded rhetoric with pompous words.

Will push for more furniture in the senate. Presently there are only 30 places to sit in parliament house, or 31 if you count the senate chairperson (not actually a werechair).

Won't stand for anything, but will be quite happy to sit with whatever makes the party membership most comfortable.

Will decide the order of the senate ballot much like this:
