If you want to take the DAPF election seriously, here is your chance:

I come to you as a member of the ~Party-Of-The-Nations ,

I believe in this party. I believe it will produce an active parliament.

Hi. My name is Michael, you know me as *LogicalRabble. I've been involved in the Political Forum community for years. As you may know, the previous Parliament failed to hold a single meeting.

While the twice-yearly elections are certainly a time for fun, I also have a responsibility to present a serious option for those inclined to use the community structure for feasible improvements.

So here is what I would hope to accomplish if elected:

Five Step Plan:

1. Actually hold meetings

The previous election resulted in a parliament that didn't hold a single meeting. Literally. I will fix this.

2. Improve the level of discourse through leading by example

Making quality threads, promoting quality threads, and working with those most knowledgeable on each subject to create a high level of discourse.

3. Use the immense resources provided by various clubs and the Political Forum Chat more effectively

As a member of the Political Forum Club and a high ranking member of the Political Forum Chat, I would work between all bodies to provide more services to the community, through the community - including Parliament sponsored contests and debates.

4. Legislate guidelines for the Parliament in order to avoid further inactivity.

Provide a framework to ensure that this parliament actually functions, including a founding constitution similar to those in any student legislature, or community organization.

5. Election reform that the past committee failed to enact.

Election reform has been on the table for over six months now. I’ll make sure it gets passed.


My Thoughts from the debate:


On issues facing the DA Political Forum community:

"First of all, a quick note. A lot of people think these elections are 'jokes' or whatever. Those who remember back to last time will remember that I had a four-page platform for ways to improve the community, despite the admitted lack of power within the structure of the site any DA parliament would have. I maintain that this should be a serious election. My platform will be similar to last time - but my current involvement in the DA Political Forum club gives me greater ability to contribute positively to the community. I think, the biggest issue facing the community - in a very general sense - is that it suffers from a low level of discourse. Obviously, new and young members contribute to this. But senior members could do more. Hopefully I will get the chance to outline the ways in which we can accomplish that."

On our involvement with other forums on DeivnatArt:

"While I admit most the other forums on DeviantArt are... well, they 'are'... I think some other forums are useful in conjunction with politics, especially the literary forums, and any artistic activity that involves Politics. DAPoliticalForum club has already done some work in this area, obviously more could be done with an active parliament, which I'd be a part of."

On ensuring the proper citation within threads, and quality threads:

The Fourth Parliamentary Elections of Deviantopia is set to be opened in July of 2008. I am starting my Campaign in an unorthodox manner. I shall begin my campaign in Michigan, where, heretoforth, Senator BHO name has yet to appear on the ballot!

The Ballot for the Party of the Nations shall contain eight members. I have proposed this to the *hansard, and *Gibah has seconded it. It shall now be up to the Third Parliament of Deviantopia to vote on it!

01. *SwordOfScotland I shall be the Party Chairman for this party, but I shall not run for office. Because of my duties with the *DAPoliticalForum Club, I would neglect both of them should I choose to overextend myself.
02. *emmejay-fwz Parliamentarian representing the Continent of Asia.

03. ----------------------------------------------------------------Parliamentarian representing the Continent of Australia.

04. ----------------------------------------------------------------Parliamentarian representing the Continent of Africa.

05. ----------------------------------------------------------------Parliamentarian representing the Continent of Europe.

06. ----------------------------------------------------------------Parliamentarian representing the Continent of South America.

07. ----------------------------------------------------------------Parliamentarian representing the Continent of North America.

08. ----------------------------------------------------------------Parliamentarian representing both the North and South Poles.

Should any Parliamentarian be found neglecting his/her duties in my Administration, there shall be a First Minister appointed during Impeachment hearings.

There are six Parliamentarians I have yet to choose to be part of my winning party! I am entertaining requests for positions, by note, at this time.
