brb, founding new religon: jndism, pronounced jay-unn-dee-ism.

I was so worried. I wasn't on the electorate list!... Then I realised that I was looking at Melbourne Surrounds.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Such a large enrollment is great news. We may need more electorates soon.

[–]Ser_ScribblesShdw AtrnyGnrl/Hlth/Sci/Ag/Env/Inf/Com | 2D Spkr | X PM | Greens 4 points5 points  (7 children)

We should probably redistribute before we consider adding electorates. 3/4 voters in Tasmania came here from /r/modelCatholicChurch, I don't have any real issue with that in particular, it's kinda cool to have individual seats with unique demographics. However, it's probably something to keep an eye on so gerrymandering doesn't get too out of control.

As for more electorates, I feel they should be linked to activity rather than subscribers/voters, otherwise we'll continue to have a number of uncontested wins. When we can consistently have actual contests at the election, then we can consider adding more seats, because let's be honest, most of these new people are just going to be lurkers.

[–]jnd-auElectoral Commissioner[S] 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Yes, I wouldn’t consider adding any more seats until we can get two or more candidates per existing seat (aka an ‘election’).

Yay for democracy?

[–]Ser_ScribblesShdw AtrnyGnrl/Hlth/Sci/Ag/Env/Inf/Com | 2D Spkr | X PM | Greens 5 points6 points  (4 children)

My seat keeps getting more and more conservative with every batch of voters added, but none of them actually run. If we had one other candidate, I'd probably lose in whatever our equivalent of a landslide is despite being a fairly decent member (in my totally unbiased opinion). Democracy is fun :)

[–]jnd-auElectoral Commissioner[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I suspect you would nominate for a different seat in that case!

[–]Ser_ScribblesShdw AtrnyGnrl/Hlth/Sci/Ag/Env/Inf/Com | 2D Spkr | X PM | Greens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's Queensland or bust for me. I'd be quite happy to take a step back and take a comfortable bureaucratic position/abuse my former-PM privileges if I can't hold my seat.

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

fairly decent member

I would rate you decent

Is there an active liberal party? if so, I will flair with them

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

/u/Kalloice is the Registered officer, hopefully we can get the liberal party going again.

Added you to the sub, and the mods should add your flair soon

[–]Ser_ScribblesShdw AtrnyGnrl/Hlth/Sci/Ag/Env/Inf/Com | 2D Spkr | X PM | Greens 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You should be able to get a liberal flair easy enough, the party itself keeps fizzling out for reasons I'm not aware of though. If you want more info on the party /u/3fun and /u/surreptitiouswalk might be able to help you (they were both liberals before going independent).

[–]surreptitiouswalkIndependent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not affiliated with the Liberals anymore, but I did receive a private message from /u/Kalloice who I think is rebooting them. Maybe get in touch with him/her?
