SciForums Presidential Election

Who would you elect?


  • Total voters
    61
Education - snip -People will be hired and paid according to their abilities, not according to their gender.
Ah, you see; Typical Wishy-washy" political promises.
It's all "long-term solutions" and "wait a while".
On the other hand I have real solutions and some of them will be effective literally over night.

Education - everyone will learn either science, [ENC]sceince[/ENC] for the less able and [ENC]seance[/ENC] for the, um, lower end of the scale.
Stupid people will be executed, that will give an immediate rise in the average IQ of the country.

Gay marriage - again, I have to disagree with my esteemed opponent, but his policy is a half-measure. Gay marriage will be mandatory for ugly people. This will prevent them breeding and give us a better-looking nation. Already attractive people can do what they want.

Food prices - another "oh I will have to consider this", :rolleyes:. Food will be free.*

Freedom of choice - you will have complete freedom of choice. Do as I say or leave. How much more choice do people need? Those who decide to leave will be given (free) a one-way ticket to [ENC]East Korea[/ENC] where they will be guaranteed employment and fulfilling new lives.

Gender equality - it's time that people realised that women have been held back. This is the 21st century and it's time to understand that some women are almost as good as human beings. Women, by law, will be allowed to decide when they do the ironing.

Taxes - taxes will be abolished completely. Why should you pay the government for earning your own wages?**


* but I will be instituting a nominal charge for citizens who breath.
** there will, unfortunately, be the introduction of Involuntary Serial Contributions, just to keep me and my cabinet in our accustomed lifestyle while we use the sweat of our brows leading the country.

:wallbang:

:soapbox:
 
You see?
You don't have any real policies, you can't compete. :p
But I'll find a place for you in my government: we'll eliminate party politics (and our opponents) altogether.

lol I'd be forever grateful, Oli :D

Say, why don't we join forces ? Together we'd be unbeatable.
Bear in mind that I'm only 1 vote behind you, since Norsefire changed his vote ;)

"The Oli-Enmos administration"..
 
Good idea, but I'm not sure about the title.
"Administration" sounds a little... not hands-on enough.

But Olienmosigarchy is a bit unweildy. ;)

The Oli-Enmos Dominion. Or just "The Dominion" for short.. :p

So we're in agreement about joining forces then ?

Yeah Dominion has exactly the sort of connotations that I'm looking for. ;)
And yes: join forces.

Awesome!
Perhaps we should think about world domination. The US is really just a meager prize, don't you think ? :p

Edit: We'd achieve it in a peaceful manner of course.
 
As far as we know, world domination is equal to universal domination.
Or perhaps I missed something.. lol

1) we don't know there's actually anyone else out, but: I don't want to take the chance of them finding us. And if they are out you know they'll be much happier with us in charge.
2) aren't there bacteria on Mars? Who's currently regulating them? It's sloppy and I won't have it.
3) I don't like the way some those stars shine, all willy-nilly. They need to be organised better.

Agreed.

I don't think that has been established yet. But when it is, we can claim Mars as well.. since there's no one else to claim it.

Talk about long-term commitments.. :D

When it is?
You want to give them time to organise? :rolleyes:
Our Minister of Active Defence doesn't agree with your assessment.

Even if there were "someone else" to claim what makes you (or them) think their claim could possibly be valid?
If it's in the Dominion's universe it's self-evidently the Dominion's property.

Talk about long-term commitments.. :D
Some of them may need to be moved when we get around to terror- Terra-forming the bits of the universe we want to keep.

Eek! We should have a get-together.. and talk these things through.

I've got to go now though, I have a previous engagement with Hu Jintao ;)
 
I voted for Oli, his experience in woo wrangling will come in handy when dealing with the likes of Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. :)

Plus I'm a big fan of his "read my lips...free lager on Fridays" platform.

Ah, the, er, currently-living representative from the Chinese sub-sector of the Dominion.

Mac is hereby appointed, for life, Minister of Alcoholic Refreshments, with a free-roving remit.
 
I may have to reconsider the advisability of a coalition with Enmos: my near-3:1 advantage is beginning to look overwhelming.

But that's for the future...

stuck between enmos and oli, flipped a coin.

Hmm, indecisive people may get a free trip to [ENC]East Korea[/ENC] too.
You just helped switch my advantage from 3:1 a couple of hours ago to slightly only better than 3:2. :bawl:
