Why no political parties?

[Zarn]

I like your Jedi Temple suggestion better.

Anyway, there are groups that favor certain ways of going about the game. My group dedicates itself to religous advances and improvements, but is too rpg like to be in the citizen's forum. I don't know about the other religous threads that were here. They might have died.There are some pretty aggressive threads and I think there is a pacifist one. There is a least one trade group as well.

wHERE aM i???
What is this thread about, hmmmmm
*stops pretending to be effected by jedi mind trick*

Well, it seems I came a little late to this party...
Just to remind everyone that all players start of small! Of the top of my head, I think Fionn is a reletively new player who quickly rose to acclaim through posting good ideas. I myself plunged head first into Governorship and managed not to screw it up too badly. The very first proposal I made as Gov was defeated 22-6 or something, with the 6 being me and 5 mayors I appointed! So son't be too disheartened if your first few ideas fall flat, it is the fresh inspiration we get from newer players that often drives some of the most fun aspects of the game!!

I ran for governor unapposed as well but i managed the province pretty well. Plus my contributions to the demogames website helped. Im still waiting for my ideas to pass a vote tho hehe

after finishing reading the first page (i hadnt checked this in a while) i decided to withdraw my support from this proposal as well. which action, i believe, leaves the issue entirely dead.

I believe that it was Thomas Jefferson who warned America not to use political parties, and I believe he was right.

Since they are not a necessity for an effective election campaign, I do not see what good they would actually do. I do think that they would cause an unnecessary duplicity in regards to many issues, where those who hold a very valid "third" point of view would not be heard.

And, Neutral leader, it is not a matter of people telling you what is wrong with them, but rather you need to tell us what is so good about them.

Actually it was Washington himself. Political parties would do us little good, i like it more this way.
