It has been nearly eighteen days since the Progressive Reformist Party declared its intentions to petition the Federation Presidential Election Board to allow our party to run as a potential candidate, and thus far the government has neither rejected nor approved our bid. I realize a bureaucracy of this magnitude may take some period of time before a response can be delivered, but a sustained period of time in the dark leads me to confirm my suspicions that the Federation isn't interested in proper representation for its pod pilots. Are we to remain second class citizens in the eyes of the law, denied representation and respect despite our consistent contribution to this great nation? Does representative democracy only apply to the wealthy elite and career politicians nowadays?
An official response from the Election Board or opinions from the current candidates would be most appreciated in quelling our suspicions.
Thank you,
xoxo

It would come as no surprise if the Federal bureaucratic machine does what it does best, delay until it is too late, in order to prevent the Progressive Reformist Party from rocking the proverbial boat.
I would strongly advise the powers that be to start taking the pod pilot community seriously. Our lives are extended by technology, but our patience is not.

I dont think theyre worried about the PRP rocking the boat.
Its the sinking of the boat when a hundred and five other potention candiates will sign up several days before the elections.
Coming out 18 days before the start of the emmisary selection is a bit late, hell emmisary sign ups started many months ago. Candidates for presidency where announced even before that.
They should however have informed you about the process.

Joshua, I'm neither concerned about emmisaries and the corrossive bribery activity associated with it, nor am I concerned with other potential candidates with the urge to run for election. Furthermore, unless you're a member of the Federation Board of Elections, I dare say your opinion regarding the tardiness of my petition is a moot point.
I await an official response.

Hah! You will never become a candidate! I will win this election single handedly! Do not even bother trying!
Ah one second, there seems to be someone at the door.

Get your hands off me! The FIO will hear of this! I'm not Coco! Not Coco!

You know on reflection I'd have probably voted for that guy, as I'm sure he'd have done a better job than the real candidate.

Eh, bien.
Indeed, Madame Doyle, indeed.
But does this not lay bare the false claims that the Federation makes to lead the way forward? I support your candidacy to this office because, if anyone, you may be able to turn the ship of the Federation's bureaucracy around, but as it is, the Federation is in a sorry, corrupt, state of affairs. Alors ... so we resist ... at the cost of our enterprises, and our blood ...
Best of luck, Madame. You have my ... vote.

I think you will probably be in the "other" category on the ballot.   So all you have to do is get 50% plus 1 of the Gallente to vote "Other" and you're set :)
Man, I wish I could vote in this... Being Amarrian is only part of the problem... I've been deemed persona non grata since the failed Duripant putch...

Much appreciated Ms. Trudeau.
We're in a pivotal period of time when the Federation, in the height of its bureaucratic ineptitude, has the potential to stem the tide of stagnance and reverse the overwhelming force of corruption to make way for cultural and economic progression. I for one am not so quick to dismiss it outright, as it's the birthplace of my family and the principles of democracy that I hold very dear to my heart. The future of the charted universe rests in the hands of the Gallentean people, and its important they be given a proper choice rather than a set devoid of content. As an activist, I feel it's my duty to take a stand and present such a choice on our behalf.
*raises a glass*
Here's to hope. I hope someone is listening.

That reminds me of this little ditty...
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
The Fletcher Memorial
Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they're still real.
It's the only connection they feel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,"
"Reagan and Haig,"
Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher, and Paisly,
"Hello Maggie!"
Mr. Brezhnev and party.
"Who's the bald chap?"
The ghost of McCarthy,
The memories of Nixon.
"Good-bye!"
And now, adding color, a group of anonymous latin-
American Meat packing glitterati.
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
They can polish their medals
and sharpen their Smiles,
and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead.
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favorite toys
They'll be good girls and boys
In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial
Wasters of life and limb.
Is everyone in?
Are you having a nice time?
Now the final solution can be applied.
There are 10 sorts of people in the world - those who understand binary, and those who do not. |

It's already too late, nominations had closed before the party was even formed.

I have a suggestion - why don't you ask people who support you to donate their other candidate vouchers to you? That way, you can show how much support you have in proper numbers, especially, if you have a great following who have given more vouchers than the rest of the other candidates put together?
Do you think that would have an effect?

Have no fear, for i never said i wanted to become a president. I simply stated that starting a political party after the candidates had already been announced wasnÆt the best way to go about it.
Also, I doubt my boosters have caused you anything as you are not on our client list and thus itÆs highly unlikely any of our boosters have ever been near you.
If you did somehow get your hands on them then I apologize, we always try to live up to our corporate motto.

Ah, my lovely Damocles, what a splendid idea! I could kiss you!
For those who're actively interested in the Progressive Reformist Party petition and the campaign to run for president who wish to go beyond vocal support, then I encourage the community to donate their vouchers to the PRP as a sign of defiance against the current establishment and a testament to our desire for proper political representation. It sends a clear message that the ideas of democracy and the needs of the pod pilot community cannot be bought with trinkets and political favor.
In the meantime, and official response regarding our petition would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
xoxo

Don't be surprised if the government requires you to collect ten million signatures first (so that they see that you represent at least a tiny fraction of the population).
If not...then I want to run for president too! And so does my cat!

I was bon in Gallente (i am serious!) why cant I run for president? Being a democracy, even an Amarrian has rights dont they?
I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century. |

Your support is much appreciated Mr. Ician and Shemar in these times of uncertainty. It's nice to know the individual desire for progress can still outmatch the allure of prizes and influence within the Federation.
Thanks,

How unfortunate, although not entirely unexpected....
It seems that at its root, the Federation democracy is a system which gives its citizens only an illusion of choice. In reality, the candidates are picked from a pool of political elite who are only interested in giving favours to their friends at the expense of the average citizen. When a citizen wants to make a difference, like candidate Doyle does, they are shut out by the Federal bureaucracy.
Perhaps soon the Gallente people will understand why the Caldari left the Federation in the first place. Their corrupt government continually increases its power with no regard for the interests of others.

The federation doesn't *have* to say anything.
Although your public declaration of joining the presidential race is entertaining, you didn't actually contact the electoral board before, or after, your national announcement.
In all honesty, even if every single pod pilot in the galaxy was behind you, the populace of a single planet would way overshadow it. Sometimes people forget that.
[OOC: Don't be frustrated...surely you knew that no PC could ever really run for president. You did get your time in the spotlight with that news article, but unless you could somehow collaborate with the CCP crew, I don't see any fair way to let you be included in the race. Not without opening up a floodgate of other players trying the same. Trigger for president, anyone?]
