You do not need to see a campaign to know that you support or oppose people. Not one of you condemning the agreement can sit there and say you have no opinion on others until you see a platform. We have literally elected people without platforms. Your own platform, DM, is "I don't have anything specific to say", leaving us all to use our own judgement of your character and capability to be our government's leader. (And if we want to discuss this even closer to reality, we can talk about how 90% of campaign promises never even come to fruition!)

That's a criticism that isn't founded in reality. Everybody here knows Roavin and they know that he's probably the most capable, reasonable, and responsible person in the region. It shouldn't be a surprise that many would be willing to support him on that alone.

I don't argue this, I just question if we would like it to continue this way.
I understand that part of the reason we vote for candidates is based on their merit as an individual, but it is also based on their platform, even if the two don't weigh the same.

And we certainly shouldn't perpetuate that idea with Political Party deals like this.
