POLOT - President of Languish Election

[Sophie Scholl]

The Armed Forces support the rightful President, Barrister Boy.

Signed, General Wolfe.

*bang* Long live the Committee of Languish Safety!


You cannot see attachments on this board.

Who the fuck is this?

You forget your history, dear sir!

The position of PMOLOT was NOT brought in by the sovereign will of the people, but by the dictatorial reign of AnchorClankor!  Which is why I have stood up against the tyranny of the move ever since!

You've played this all wrong.  I handed you a legitimist alternative in the face of the revolutionary menace, and yet you stubbornly cling to the discredited presidential office. I wash my hands of it.  Apres toi, le deluge.

The will of the people is irrelevant when it comes to the disposition of private property.  At the time Spanky declared himself PM he was paying the maintenance fee for the site.

Fireblade.

Seriously? 

[FunkMonk]

Let us not be hasty, comrades. We need to select a committee which will determine the validity of Barrister's claim. We will also need a separate committee to determine the validity of the first committee's findings. Prior to all this, however, a judicial review must take place.

[Tonitrus]

Current nominations without a second:

Tonitrus running as Nun-of-the-Above
Celery as God-Emperor

Each of these will need a second to be formally nominated.

... I also thought Darth Wagtaros nominated himself, but it doesn't look like it.

It has become obvious that we cannot win in Languish's deplorable system.  But most of all, I'd like to thank the volunteers.

[chipwich]

I don't want an election, I want to blindly obey the iron will of a Fuhrer

[Syt]

I promise that as chairman of the Languish Citizens Safety Committee I shall immediately return power to the only rightful sovereign of Languish - the people.

So anarchy then and abdication of the role.

Are you asking who I am?

When I was in college I was involved in student government (I fell in with the wrong crowd.)  One of the issues, when I was there, was how to improve campus security; so the university put together a joint student-faculty-administration task force called (without irony) The Committee of Public Safety.  So if anyone plans to run on a Reign of Terror platform, I'd like to offer my services as a running mate; I have the experience, I've been there.

My last year of university/law school I put in my name to be the student government rep for the law school.  I won by the two sweetest words in the english language - De Fault!

But being a 24 year old professional degree student gave you a ton of credit amongst a bunch of undergrads.  I wound up being the Chairperson AND chair of the finance committee.  I made friends with the President (who wound up in Parliament for a time) and had great fun.  Our mortal enemies were the Grad Students, who always took up with the crazy left-wing topics.

So I disagree that is the "wrong crowd"
