List-PR
We need to create an ordered list if candidates for the elections next week. As there appear to only be two of us in here then i suggest that we submit a list like this.
1. Mark Prendergast
2. Tomás Ó Ceallaigh
Thoughts?

We'll see. He has made two posts recently. I am wary ofbecoming the PM i'd rather carry on my Foreign Office work.

Re: List-PR
This is a good point.
Of course, in a Dáil of only two ministers, from different parties, they could effectively decide on who was PM between themselves. Or perhaps that would be a Presidential decision -- a 'vote' at that stage would be farsical.

Re: List-PR
I read the const and the number of ministers is rounded up to the nearest ODD number. Therefore our chances of getting both of us into the Dáil are greater.

Re: List-PR
I don't know... Mr Garine and Mr Loutardis will both be standing, and both have given good service in the last term. Mr Prendergast, on the other hand, was absent for the entirety.
I think we may have to face it-- the days of DLP supremacy in the Dáil may be running out. Hanging onto the hope that Mr Prendergast will rediscover his interest in micronationalism strikes me as a little shortsighted.

Re: List-PR
Remember this is a democratic vote. The voters will not be swayed by whether or not somebody has filled in a census, that's a given. It's track record that wins you votes, unfortunately.
