I felt like doing some analysis.
Democratic Donkeys: - Incumbent. I would expect he would be able to make a successful bid for reelection. Most of his detractors are already well known and I don't think that they are likely to change substantially. He has performed well in the role and has constantly maintained a high endorsement level and has not taken any absences over that time period. The Security Council has grown in strength under his stewardship and overall I would say he has had a very successful term as Vice Delegate.
Abacathea - currently Minister of World Assembly Affairs. He has a reputation for a strong work ethic and a stable and regularly high activity level. I think Abacathea could make a strong campaign for Vice Delegate and in many ways it is the logical next step for him to take in his political career in TNP.
Kiwi - has served as Vice Delegate before and performed well in the position. He has also served as Minister of Defence and is currently serving as Minister of Communications. He is a popular figure amongst military members and the community at large. Kiwi has already stated that he intends to run for Delegate, but if he suddenly changed his mind he could make a strong run here.
Lennart - Lennart is a beloved figure both in-game and on the regional forum. He has a significant amount of name recognition on the regional message board and with nations in the region (similar to that of DD's) than of the other candidates I will discuss. He has served as Minister of Culture and Entertainment and was one of my favourite Ministers. He is superb to work with, very approachable, kind and honest. Lennart has been one of the most active SC members and has constantly maintained a high endorsement level for as long as I can remember. Like Kiwi, Lennart has already announced he will run for Delegate if the I Love McMasterdonia constitutional amendment does not pass. I think he could make a strong run in either race.
r3naissan3r - a highly experienced legislator and government official. R3n has served as Chief Justice and as Minister for Foreign Affairs. R3n has been the greatest contributor in terms of proposals and amendments in the Regional Assembly and has received significant recognition for his work in this area. He is highly intelligent, competent and reliable and has served excellently as Minister for Foreign Affairs in my Administration. He has been a constant endotarter in-game and I feel he could make a strong run if he decided to do so.
Blue Wolf II - Blue Wolf II has served in nearly every position available in the North Pacific. He can be a somewhat controversial figure, with some people objecting to his methods and style. He has served as Vice Delegate on many occasions and has done well in that role. He is an unlikely candidate at this point as he has only just left the Security Council to return to military activity.
Zyvetlongname - Zyvet has served as Deputy Speaker of the RA and as Speaker of the Regional Assembly. He has been a fair and impartial Speaker of the RA and has done a superb job in the role. I think Zyvet could make a strong run for Vice Delegate, but it may depend on his availability and whether or not he wishes to leave the Speakers office.
Crushing Our Enemies - COE has served as Speaker and as a Justice of the Court of the North Pacific. COE has been a highly reliable and active member of the North Pacific since joining. He is a strong leader and has demonstrated that through his work as Speaker of the RA. While some may not approve of everything COE has pursued, it is clear that his hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed and is universally appreciated. At this stage I would rule him out as a candidate, not because he wouldn't be a good candidate or because he could not win, but because he has said he will be away for a 6 week period (correct me if I am wrong) and I know he will not wish to take up a position where he cannot be completely dedicated to it.
) people run for Vice Delegate I've decided to see who, much as the case for the Delegate thread would be a serious contender for the VD position this time around should the VD, DD not run/elect for delegate on this instance.
