Hello everyone, As you all know, I am The13th, and I am running in my first ever election in this region. I have been here a decently long time (around 1.5 years), but only recently did I join the forums and begin to become active in the politics of this region. I have spent a lesser deal of time here than other people in power, but that is not too great of an hinderance for I feel I have figured out a lot about our government and how it works. As Convenor, I would gladly lead our legislature to better our glorious region. I feel that our legislator, though open to the public, is still too exclusive, and that we need to get more people active in our regional workings off the site of NationStates. I think that we can do this together by increasing RolePlaying, and the military. Also, I would like to increase the Council's lawmaking activities to continue to create, expand, and to amend our laws. Speaking of the military, I have noticed a lot of controversy about which way our military should embark on. As some of you know, I am a defend and liberate first, raid second sort of guy. The military has been a defender military for quite a while, and I believe we need to stick with that. But, I do agree in allowing controlled raids, in order to take over hostile regions. And, as always, the LCA should seek to be a light for the world, liberating regions in need of assistance. Overall, I think that we need to make our legislature more accessible to the populous, and I would like to increase our democratic system to make it less of an oligarchy (in which a select group of people rule), to an even greater, stronger, and magnificent Lazarene Democracy. If anybody would like to ask me more questions about my platform, feel free to ask anything you would like. Best of luck to you Svez, and I hope we can possibly have a debate sometime  Have a good day everyone, The13th

Just a quick run through of what I would like to do as Convenor. Me and Svez seem to have the same ideas about what direction our legislature should take This election might come down to just pure platform.... And thanks for reading my terribly written statement there everyone

Thanks for the support! Why aren't you allowed to vote though?

I didn't think it was too bad for a first campaign, and, whilst I'm not sure the role of Convenor, as I understand it (and I don't, much, yet) will be able to do many of the things that need work that you have highlighted, I also believe it's good to have someone in an accessible government position willing to encourage others to join in and poke those above them to facilitate that. So, good luck with that. You do know you can edit additional thoughts into your posts, though, right? It's not great if you have to multi-post spam your own campaign.

Yes I know that I can edit my posts, but for some reason I did not... Thank you so much for your response, and support! The role of Convenor is the head of the Legislative Branch, just like the role of Speaker of the House in American government, by the way! Thanks, The13th

So how exactly will you disassemble this "Oligarchy" system of government and spread it back towards the people? |

Thanks for the question! I feel like it will be very hard and almost impossible to get rid of this 'oligarchy' that our government has, and I feel it unnecessary to do that too. Like who wants to see Aumelodia and Lamb go? What I meant by saying this, is that I think that we need to get more people involved in our legislature and government at large, and I would like to see a lot of new fresh faces constantly participating in the government. I want to be able to get legislation passed that can increase the activity and the power of the common people in Lazarus. Thanks, The13th Edited by The13th, May 13 2017, 08:36 PM.
