Political Parties: A Discussion |

The APCRC has learned that it was bad, it should have been done differently if done at all, we should have held our standard primary and we just overall messed up here. And I hope the current APCRC will learn from this and I hope the current and future leadership of both parties will learn that we made a mistake. The APC should have at the very least publically voted on the deal, which we did not do. The APC should have waited for the full slate of candidates to be announced which we did not do. And lastly, we should have held a primary (which we will hold now that Roavin dropped out). The deal was bad and as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Let's be clear, I don't think anyone had the intention of rigging an election. I think it's just the logical extension of endorsements when we only have two parties (and those two parties make up more than half the electorate).

I agree with that Kris, in theory, and that's part of the reason I never saw political parties as fruitful because a vast majority of the region is generally on the same page (as Seraph mentions below). But, there are factions currently pushing for things like RMB voting and such that could reasonably be another party. Again, I'm just thinking aloud here, but if you're a newbie, do you know you can create your own party? Would things like a dispatch, a thread, a forum — help?

Maybe a re-structuring of the legislator apps is in order? Like, breaking out our long thread but also providing things like "Political Groups to Join"?
