General Election Report
By Angshire, Election Supervisor
The Candidates
For Delegate: McMasterdonia, Nessuno, & Felis.
For Vice Delegate: Artemis & Robespierre.
For Speaker: Deropia & Dreadton.
For Attorney General: Vivanco & Hopps.
The Election for Delegate
Following a very successful term, incumbent Delegate McMasterdonia announced his plans to re-run for Delegate, on a campaign of increasing citizen participation, strengthening the executive government and the ministries, and increasing opportunities for newcomers and returners to get more involved in TNP government. Providing detailed reports about each of the ministries, and goals for next term, the plans that McMasterdonia had made for Delegate were clearly laid out from the beginning. His campaign received immense support from the general populace, praising his efforts and accomplishments in his previous term.
The second candidate, Nessuno, represented the Animal Party, one of the few political parties of the North Pacific. Having served as the Lead Gameside Advocate for the previous term, and advocated for a “Revolution” in the North Pacific. His campaign included plans for radical changes, including a merge and reform of all the current ministries into 5 brand new ministries, and incorporating the Gameside Advocates into them. His call for the widespread adoption of socialism and purge of counter-revolutionaries created outcry against his campaign, with many voters simply denouncing it as a “joke campaign”. Nevertheless, he did garner support among some of his fellow GAs, as well as other citizens who are primarily on the RMB.
Finally, the third candidate was Felis, an unexpected candidate who had nominated themselves close to the end of the nomination process. Having spent all of his time constrained to Eras roleplay, Felis was notable as the only candidate for Delegate who lacked previous experience in TNP government. While he did indeed run, and managed to gain votes, Felis never made an official campaign thread and, therefore, never officially ran on any campaign promises. Nevertheless, Felis did manage to gain votes in the election, although his support came mostly from his fellow Eras roleplayers.
In the end, Delegate McMasterdonia won 89.00% of the vote, the highest out of any candidate across all four races of the January 2020 Election. Nessuno and Felis racked in at 8.00% and 3.00% respectively, coming in 2nd and 3rd. With only 5 voters choosing to abstain, the Delegate election also had the highest amount of voter participation among the 4 elections. 8.57% of voters wanted to re-open nominations.
The Election for Vice Delegate
Unlike the race for Delegate, the Vice Delegate race was highly competitive from the start. The first candidate, incumbent Vice Delegate Artemis (Sundred), had previously faced no competition in the September 2019 elections. He campaigned on the success and growth that TNP experienced while he was Vice Delegate under McMasterdonia, while also promising to increase cooperation with the Cards Guild and host a region-wide endorsement event with the Ministry of Culture. Most of the questions were regarding his membership within the Security Council, with some condemning it as an unelected group of “elites”. Artemis, however, argued against that notion, and his campaign received mostly positive reviews from the general public.
The other candidate, Robespierre, served as Minister of Defense prior to his election campaign. Although a relative newcomer to the community, Robespierre boasted a wide repertoire of accomplishments and previous positions. He based his campaign on a commitment to activity and transparency, while also maintaining that members of the Security Council will be held accountable to those same standards. His campaign also received mostly positive reviews, with many citizens commending his efforts in other government offices, while also being excited to see a fresh new face in the running. He also managed to gain the support of most of the North Pacific Army, and his promises to increase the power of the RA were met with wide acclaim.
At the start of the election, it was expected that sitting Vice Delegate Artemis would win. However, in a surprising political upset, it was actually Robespierre that won, with 53.06% of the votes. Artemis was close behind, placing 2nd with 46.94% of the votes. The Vice Delegate race was the closest of all 4 elections, with Robespierre winning by a vote of 52-46, a margin of just 6 votes. Only 1.90% of voters wanted to re-open nominations, the lowest amount across all 4 elections. There were 7 abstentions.
