Still so many people refusing to unite behind the revolution. They'll doom us all ):

Hi,
I caught this email by accident in my old, not so used, email. I'm curious enough to ask what's going on, so, how's it going in here? Same type runs this place?
-
What do you mean?
Taijitu's got strict separation of powers now, if it matters >.<
-
Right now the Progressive Party is in the majority, but likely faces competition in the coming election.

If you'd like, you can take the ever-familiar political compass (http://forum.taijitu.org/zocalo/political-compass/) test to determine what party you'd like to join, if any. Currently Taijitu politics are tri-polar, with a socially libertarian-economically centrist Progressive Party (http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki/Progressive_Party), a socially centrist-economically leftist Taijitu Liberal Statist Party (http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki/Taijitu_Liberal_Statist_Party), and a socially centrist-economically rightist Civic Democratic Party (http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki/Civic_Democratic_Party). Of course, this trend could very easily change as our region regrows!

Ah, I haven't taken those tests in a while, that'll be interesting to see a difference with older results. Anyway I don't have much time to play with "nationstates", but I don't mind some political roleplay. I've actually been involved in real politics so this would be a way to have some fun with it.
Now:
Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.51
made a test:
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28
near ghandi...lol
anyway, i ask again, where can you see NS political compass?
Hm, matured my views, I guess, more left and way more libertarian. I guess Progressive Party would be the most fitting, what happened to the taijitu communist party?
BTW I missed these icons :trout:
-
Unfortunately, the Taijituan Communist Party probably died with the region a few years ago. I know Gallipoli-China came back for a short time and was the Spokesperson for the Progressive Party, but I'm not sure how much his views had changed, if at all, and he's been gone for a short time now anyway. If you'd like, you can apply to join the Progressive Party here. (http://forum.taijitu.org/progressive-party/party-membership-applications/) Most of the party is clustered pretty close together, but I guess you, I, and Nefyr would be the outliers :).

Seems I lost my citizenship and I'm not able to post in requesting citizenship topic linked in the ProP topic.
I think I joined the Taijituan Communist Party after some kind of election where a bunch of low profile nations (including mine) were in route to win the election and somehow we lost it. I'm not really communist myself, Socialist is more fitting, I joined a party in here Portugal that is based on Trotsky and Gramsci views but with highly modern twists. (I guess i could talk more about it in some other topic). It's a bit weird talking to you, Myro, from all the stupid fights we did so long ago, but i don't care about past brawls or stupid differences. I remember you were an active supporter of Ron Paul, I'd now say he's the lesser evil in the Republican side and probably the one with the most different views of Obama, too bad the Random Mormon Billionaire got his way.
Anyway, isn't the ProP too big already comparing to the other parties? Isn't there a chance to make a another party? Maybe something Libertarian...
-
You're more than welcome to make your own party :) You do need to become a citizen first, but once you do it's pretty straightforward and all you have to do is register it in the Civic Center.
-
The link was probably to the old citizenship topic. Which ProP thread is it in?
And I don't see why ProP being big is a bad thing, but founding a new party is simple and straightforward. Legally there's nothing you have to do, but you can register it if you want so it'll appear in the public records linked to new people.

Progressive Party here. (http://forum.taijitu.org/progressive-party/party-membership-applications/)
Yeah I figured it was old, found the new one and already have citizenship, thanks anyway.
I'll think about new party, how many voters / percentage does a party need to elect 1 senator?

Following the droop quota as set in the law, an organized would need one more vote than 1/4 of the votes to elect one senator.
