We will be running for one of the Senate elections. We will be running as an indepedent on the ballot, but we have decided to reinstate the Liberal Party and will be running under that banner instead. Izdambodia would like to lay out what it plans to do if elected for Senator:
Non-UN Committee: We've noticed that many nations are dropping out of the UN because of conflicts with their nations, thus not allowing them to vote on many things, like this Senate election for example. Plus, we have over 40% of the 10000 Island population not in the UN. Of course, we can understand why such nations could not be allowed to vote, but can't we give them some rights? We're striving to create a non-UN committee so that they can represent as 5-10% of all votes of any election. We're trying to allow them to have some rights within this region, yet at the same time limiting the right so that it won't allow invaders and spies to abuse this rule.
NTU (Non-TITO UN Committee): We believe that there should be some recognition for their efforts in any TITO related mission if they are not enrolled in TITO but are still apart of the UN. Recognition though, should be up to the public and/or founder.
Publicizing Departments: A general overview of what each department is doing should be released to the public once a month. This general overview should allow them to see what the senators and ministers may be doing, but not to a point where classified or confidential information is released which could potentially threaten this region.
Opportunity and Fun: Opportunity is usually emphasized by most people as things like TITO, elections, minister and senate spots and this very forum are made to give people opportunities to do things beyond answering issues and clicking on links. Fun though, is usually not as big of an emphasis. We see fun everywhere, from RP-ing to conversations about the latest fad on slippers, but on important things like Senate elections and defense missions, the fun is sometimes pulled out. A very controversial example would be what Texarcana's ways of advertising. We often miss out that NationStates is all along only a game, and we should continue to strive that having fun is the most important thing. We are in this region because we want to help, and the best thing about this region is not because you're a Senator or if you're a more outstanding person, but each time you contribute something positive, you've done something for 10000 Islands. Whether it's some RP football game you've put up or helped the region's population, you've done something positive and you should be happy for that. Our emphasis is to have fun all the time.
That sums out our stance if we are elected to become a Senator. Izdambodia though, does not believe that they will win the election so we wish Thewsconia and Odracir best of luck when they become Senators. We are glad to see lots of nations excercising democracy, although the outcome is possibly too predictable at this point. Once again, best of luck to all candidates.
The Liberal Party will be adding more information very soon.
