Political parties in Taijitu

[Gulliver]

Alright, everyone. I posted this in the Senate Chambers, but as it concerns the whole Taijituan political system, I'd like opinions from those not in the Senate.

Taijitan is the proper adjective

And on more serious business, to G-C's question, I've just gone and started talk on space for political parties. Potentially parties and other civic organizations would be afforded their own forum space with moderation powers within it.

And go Moderate Party!

*Points at political compass scores*

The Party has had its Charter's first Awesome Draft ready for many an hour, but I'm waiting for one of our founding members to approve of it.

As for the boards, I sure hope we do.

EDIT: Prag, no, it isn't.

[Zimmerwald]

When do you think the boards will be set up?

[Myroria]

I vote for Taijituan. It rolls off the tongue, unlike "Taijitan".

And GC:

I'm always right. Don't argue, just agree. Just look at my title:

"Foolproof and Incapable of Error".

But if you really need Libertarian Party issues, here's some:

Pressing for no forum censorship, aside from cybersex and stuff. That's dreamhost rules.
Allowing anyone to vote on Senate issues/minimal bureaucracy.
If the tai is fiat, making it hard (I don't know economics, so maybe the tai is a hard currency, or maybe that point is moot on the internet.)
Never allowing any nation to be forced to join the Taijitu army, but I really hope that'd never be discussed in the first place.
Allowing people to post anything they want in their signatures, and express their ideology (For instance, if a neo-nazi joined Taijitu, allowing him or her to express their opinions, no matter how racist they may be)

[Zimmerwald]

Tai-Ji-Tu-An?  Why bother with the extra syllable?  Tai-Ji-Tan sounds ever so much better.

[Solnath]

Pronounced Tai-ji-tu-an is better then Tai-ji-tan.

[Khablan]

Taijituan has a bit of a Star Wars flavor.  Not that I have any opinion either way.  And then there's always Tiajituian.  Which is just weird.  Okay, I'll shuddup now.

[Solnath]

Both can be abbreviated as Taiji, so let's use that.

[Flemingovia]

back to the point in hand, I have seen several attempts in NS to work a party political system. I have never seen it work, and would be really interested if anyone could point me to a region where they have a working party system.

The main reason they do not work, is that a party system is adversarial, and you need a large number of participants on all sides to keep the parties in balance and to keep the activity and interest level up. Parties also require idealogical differences, or they just become matters of personality. I am not sure Taijitu has the number of senators, or spectrum of (Taijituan) political ideology to make this a runner.

[Solnath]

It's not about Senators, it's about Citizens. Oh yeah, and

[Solnath]

Go to Zocalo now! The Party has begun!

[Zimmerwald]

I am not sure Taijitu has the number of senators, or spectrum of (Taijituan) political ideology to make this a runner.

Flem!  I am absolutely shocked.  We run the gamut here between Communists and Objectivists!

[Delfos]

why don't we allow both ways, people that like taijitan or taijituan could enjoy 'rolling out of the thong', although english is not proper for this kind of things.

ending in U, Taijitu would fall more like Zulu, and so Taijitus, or Taijis, but i agree used taijitan for being quite easier than taijituan, it's like calling someone from Angola Angoluan, or Iraniuan, the last letter is really out of this world, but blame whoever thought about it 1st.

would sound better taijitian

[Solnath]

it's like calling someone from Angola Angoluan, or Iraniuan,

That's not even close to being the same thing. Where'd the "u" in Angoluan come from?

[Eluvatar]

Taijituan

End of story.
