Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

Well, I can't say I'm especially thrilled by these numbers, but here's hoping the voting booth churns out better ones.

Also, I'm amazed so many people seem to be letting this move by Darcness color their view of the man - though he still has more approval than disapproval, at least.
His opponents have effectively equated this move to call for a referendum with political cowardice. Unfair, but effective.
I'm going on the record saying that I think that some of these comments were a little harsh. When I criticized the President for a lack of leadership, I wasn't condemning the entire Presidency. I think this was a mistake by someone who is still very much new. It certainly wasn't a political move on my part to try and paint anyone as anything. I was just expressing my frustration with the fact that this has been such a time-suck, and a definitive answer, i.e. signing or vetoing, would've allowed all of our lives to continue, rather than this ongoing discussion of a relatively low-stakes issue that will likely end up passing anyway.

Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.
Unfocused populism is just as dangerous, if not more so, to a Republic's survival as creeping authoritarianism.
Tell people how you feel, honestly and frankly. If you like someone, tell them. If you don't like them, tell them - the world would be a better place if we all knew where we stood.

Again, urgency is a useful device in this case so it's used. People use this one here all the time. Most players, especially new players but many older ones as well, like things to fit neatly in their places. All other considerations (including whether something is a good or bad idea, an effective or ineffective method) tend to become secondary. When things get complicated, it's harder for them make sense of what's going on and to continue achieving. Unfortunately, the best opportunities tend to arise when things aren't in their little places, when things get messy or different or off-balance. Not that I think there's any opportunities to be found in this case; obviously there aren't. Not sure why I brought any of this up, actually. Carry on.

Additionally, I'd view that comment as the populist brouhaha, along with some of the other comments that seem determined to take down Darcness for daring to ask the public for an opinion on a piece of Senate legislation.

I do agree that this is a conscious move by the other political party, but to paint the CRP as the "enemy" in this populist brouhaha is misplaced and misguided.

Your post clearly is structured in such a way that you do not the view the comment as being 'in the populist brouhaha'. Could you please clarify what you really mean by 'in this populist brouhaha'?

Thanks for deciding that you know what I meant better than I do. I was talking about the comment painting my party as the enemy. :cheers:
