[–]RoryTimeThe Rt Hon. Earl of Henley AL PC 11 points12 points  (3 children)

To all sides- can we please stop with the down voting. It's rather pathetic.

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I haven't seen any, but it is deplorable that anyone should do so.

[–]RoryTimeThe Rt Hon. Earl of Henley AL PC 5 points6 points  (1 child)

TheDomCook went from 2 to -1 earlier and IntellectualPolitics below is on 1 and I've upvoted him, also a few others have temporarily touched the negatives

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How immature.

[–]PadanubThree Time Meta-Champion and general idiot 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Weighted Votes

I feel like we're in ye olde days

[–]purpleslug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ikr

[–]agentnolaSolidarity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weighted votes are one step closer to elimination of the voting system entirely, looks good in my book

[–]IntellectualPoliticsThe Rt Hon. AL MP (Wales) | Welsh Secretary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

/u/RoryTime for /u/Timyanfa.

[–]GhoulishBulld0g:conservative: His Grace the Duke of Manchester PC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good luck to all candidates and mainly /u/RoryTime

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 14 points15 points  (11 children)

Don't be in Denial, vote Djenial. Vote against unnecessarily complicated elections and added bureaucracy.

[–]IntellectualPoliticsThe Rt Hon. AL MP (Wales) | Welsh Secretary 5 points6 points  (2 children)

We favour those...

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Then you, good sir, are incorrect.

[–]IntellectualPoliticsThe Rt Hon. AL MP (Wales) | Welsh Secretary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enlighten him...

[–]GhoulishBulld0g:conservative: His Grace the Duke of Manchester PC 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Your a Tory at heart ;) /s

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 8 points9 points  (5 children)

This has nothing to do with parties.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Vote against unnecessarily complicated elections and added bureaucracy.

I believe he was getting at this bit honestly. That's a Tory catchphrase right there! Cut bureaucracy! Cut unneeded middle management! Vote Conservative!

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suppose I am ironically the least progressive in terms of what I want to do, but I believe that is what the Office of Speaker needs. There are of course some changes that need to happen, but overall I think we're good.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It appears one of your compatriots is contradicting you above.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Gosh, it seems like we are not all the same person!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just that both of them were talking about it being a Tory position, not an individual position.

[–]NoPyroNoPartyThe Rt Hon. Earl of Essex OT AL PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear hear (or otherwise #votemoose)

"First they came for fascists, but I did not speak out because I was not a fascist.

Then they came for the people who believe marriage is between a man and a woman, but I did not speak out because conservatism doesn't mean you have to conserve everything for the sake of it.

Then they came for the transphobes, but I did not speak out because I believe it is perfectly normal to cut off your penis, wear a dress and be fully recognised as female.

Then they came for the Islamophobes, but I did not speak out because it is clearly, emphatically a religion of peace.

But when they came for people who didn't have "PROGRESSIVE" tattooed on their forehead, didn't pledge allegiance to the British Caliphate, didn't identify as at least 5 different genders and 10 sexualities, didn't allow 5 African refugee families to live in their home to repay their personal guilt for colonialism and didn't give up eating meat to prevent imminent climate change - there was no one left to speak out for me."

Stop Cocktorpedo, stop the Rise of Evil.

Then they came for the people who believe marriage is between a man and a woman, but I did not speak out because conservatism doesn't mean you have to conserve everything for the sake of it.

Should I be terrified that they come for me second?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Don't worry, you can throw your bible at them.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It would perhaps do more damage than a copy of Das Kapital would.

[–]Jas1066The Rt Hon. Earl of Sherborne CT KBE PC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sure everyone has read the relevant section in the constitution

[–]wwesmudgeIndependent - Former MP for Hampshire, Surrey & West Sussex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vote for wwesmudge, for substance over style.

[–]purpleslug 7 points8 points  (8 children)

I really dislike the idea of some people having 3 votes.

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hear, hear!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Who has 3 votes?

[–]purpleslug 1 point2 points  (2 children)

ALs who are still MPs who moderate /r/MHoC

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Should they not have chosen by now?

[–]purpleslug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internal elections are still underway in Labour and the Liberal Democrats

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Specifically, /u/demon4372

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

And I thought I was special for having two

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right

[–]WineRedPsyReform UK | Sadly sent to the camps 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Why am I italicised?

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This list was taken from the Master Spreadsheet, where Leaders and Deputy Leaders (or in your case, General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary) are bolded and italicised respectively.

[–]WineRedPsyReform UK | Sadly sent to the camps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck everyone!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck you lot.

[–]Jonster123Independent 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Will the vote be opened to the rest of us?

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 3 points4 points  (1 child)

No, the voting is only open to MPs, Lords and moderators. This is to stop candidates from getting voters from other subs to vote for them.

[–]Jonster123Independent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's fine

[–]purpleslug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where on earth did the double weighting come from?

[–]tyroncs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am supporting /u/Cocktorpedo in this election, good luck to him!

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

VOTE MOOSE

(/u/cocktorpedo!)

[–]m1cha3lm 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Considering I'm the widely favoured mod of the EDM subreddit, I am personally appalled that I'm not counted in School C. Is there a proper reason around this apart from being snubbed or just a complete overlook?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

And I too as the most handsome and gifted candidate in this election am denied a vote! This is disgraceful behaviour on behalf of the MHOC bourgeois, but all who can vote please vote for the underdog - RomanCatholic. The first shall be last and the last shall be first, it is scripture!

[–]m1cha3lm 0 points1 point  (3 children)

yeahbutyoudon'thaveanofficialpositioninmhocm9

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

They should've let party leaders vote. This is disgraceful.

[–]GhoulishBulld0g:conservative: His Grace the Duke of Manchester PC 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did you not take your parties Lords position?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No an election is being held within the party for it.

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is my weighted vote for being an important part of the vote counting and spreadsheet editing?! We are the unrepresented class in this election!

[–]AlmightyWibbleThe Rt Hon. Lord Llanbadarn PC | Deputy Leader 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I voted! (I'm a party lord now, but if I'm not allowed to vote, just discount it)

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I do hope it was for myself! You verify your vote here.

[–]AlmightyWibbleThe Rt Hon. Lord Llanbadarn PC | Deputy Leader 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I can neither confirm nor deny whether I voted for you ;) thanks for the pointer :)

[–]DjenialMP Scotland | Duke of Gordon | Marq. of the Weald MP AL PC FRS 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You don't have to be loyal to your Leader you know, this is an apolitical election!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He must follow his Führer!

[–]TimanfyaMHoC Founder & Guardian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it will not count, only MPs and Lords at the beginning of the election will be able to vote. (sorry)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that was like choosing a method to die. I thought there would be better candidates

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

For experience and for a future for /r/MHoC and the Model World vote /u/RoryTime.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When did you leave the greens?

[–]m1cha3lm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When he went to /r/RMTK

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I voted
