[DISCUSSION] Regional Security |
(12-21-2018, 02:15 AM)Nat Wrote: @Rebeltopia: I see. However, in regards to security, how is someone putting in time through an appointed/elected forum position different from putting in time as a legislator or local councilor? I understand there is a difference in the level of experience gained, but cannot currently see how that relates to trustworthiness. I am sure the reasoning is obvious to most people experienced with the region, I am just having a difficult time wrapping my head around it. I think Rebeltopia included Local Councillor in his list. Notwithstanding, from my perspective, I would be infinitely more inclined to support (or more accurately, trust) a candidate for Delegate if they have served a period of time in an elected position because it exemplifies to me that the individual has to some extent, the support of the community. Certainly, you can indeed build a record as a Legislator but simply being a Legislator is not, in my opinion, sufficient for a position of such importance as it requires you to do nothing but vote and 'gift' the Chair an occasional cookie every now and then ( ). Contrastingly, serving as a Cabinet Minister, Local Councillor, etc, necessitates greater responsibilities. Whether it be moderating disputes and debates in the case of a Local Councillor, or arranging festivities as a Minister of Regional Affairs. I think fundamentally, it can be summarised as; if you do more things, there will be more for the electorate to scrutinise, and, if the things you have accomplished trend towards the good in the good-bad spectrum, then you'll have greater standing in any election. |
