[Discussion] Delegate Recall

[New Rogernomics]

[...]A recall is not a punishment, by the way. I don’t think Tubb is going to find solutions to our problems and would like to see someone else take their shot.

A recall in the case of a political position is impeachment, when it concerns negligence or poor conduct as an executive, which is by all means a punishment.

Edit: New Rogernomics, I don’t think there is anything wrong with telegram campaigning. It is a legitimate part of the democratic process.

The line is generally very narrow between legitimate campaigning and voter coercion, especially when it comes to a less open format and more of a private DM or telegram. To give more RL context, it is the equivalent of door knocking at the extreme or sending a campaign email to a voter.

If you were to knock on most of the doors and say Delegate X was terrible, and get them all to vote against Delegate X, that would be one thing. It is another to thing to recently join as a new citizen, and campaign against Delegate X, when you are still a citizen of other regions. It makes other players who have been in the region a while uneasy, hence my earlier comment on why this would be taken badly - whether the campaign succeeds or fails.

So I don't think this is a failing region, and I don't think removing Treadwellia and replacing him with NR, who has said he doesn't want to be delegate, would make Lazarus a more awesome region.

I would be fine with being Delegate, though that doesn't mean I strive to replace whoever the current Delegate might be. You could argue that it being a difficult security situation makes the region lose sight of whether the Delegate is good or not, but you could also argue the reverse that a difficult security situation requires we support the current Delegate - until we have a stable situation at least after Imki has left.

Though, I generally think the Delegacy as a Security Position and head of state might be better for Lazarus, than pushing that it has to be heavily executive - as it is entirely possible to have the best of both when it comes to Lazarus. Plenty of Democracy, but also a stable Delegacy that is far more impervious to future coups.
