Apparently this is not done so how about an inaugural debate? The candidates open a topic on the forum, 800 words for your opening with the right of reply after all candidates have posted. Limit it to say 3 replies and then a summary post.
I am having a hard time deciding who to vote for considering the articles written could have taken you days. I am interested in who is quicker on their feet, who is more committed to the cause.
This is not a popularity contest (well it is but 😛
) We need a strong leader, a smart leader and most importantly someone who can carry their own against those who feel different.
Well candidates,
Will you Bring it?

Some recent CP elections have had a live debate on IRC, that could also happen...
sorry its sir_c0nstant
id much rather it was on the forums
IRC would work ok, then someone could copy/past the log. But I think the forums would be a better format. Only real politicians can bullshit on the fly 😉 at least on the forum they have a while to compose themselves.
Good show, Larni.
Whoever has the fewest platitudes and most substance gets my vote 🙂
Tim, I think she did say to post them in the forums.
IF all CP Candidates had access to a mic and SKYPE, I would be willing to host a 'podcast debate' if we could all agree upon a time?
Boated Hard!
I'll read it now.
who cares who's better at being "quicker on their feet". All you need to know is who will have the best interests of eAustralia at heart, and will work tirelessly to both fix the problems at hand and to improve the country for the future.

A CP must be quick on their feet. Quick to make strong and decisive decisions. Otherwise it's easy to write an inspiring speech if given the time. Heck you could even hire someone to write it for you.
^ Tecchi wins. All yous should worry about is if the CP will fix the problems and improve eAustralia. That dare I say, can only be proven come the CP term.
11 votes for so far, 2 comments against.
I think you are wrong Br0adside and Techci. Anyone can spend days to write a single article and make it all shiny. What we want to see is the truth, who the candidates really are.
I think as citizens we have the right to make an informed decision on who we elect to be our CP.
*eye shifts knowing there isn't really a way to respond to that*
😉
Though you are right, the only way to know for sure will be after they assume the mantel, a debate will just clear a lot of stuff up for us.
*wanders off to read ET's wall of txt.
Voted. Could be good to see. 🙂
lol it is a massive wall of text. you know what they say
"the man with the largest wall of text is the best to run the country"
Thats my first response.
hahaha
and yes boys size really does matter 😉
there you have it. i win
Seriously no! If it's on the forums it's too open people just start slinging mud. If you regulate how much they can say is also stupid. It's not Real Time on the forums so a candidate could take time to answer it. You need it on irc in private with strict moderation. Then publish it in a reliable neutral newspaper with the major points highlighted. Plus this things been done in hundreds of elections and it's never as influential as people think it'll be.

that's a perfect world.
people just start slinging mud.
They will stands out, they always do. I'm assuming you mean people other than the candidates who should be the only ones posting in the thread.
