Your idea of me running for power is a good one with one major flaw - there is no chance of me winning. I am a right leaning straight male amongst a predominantly left leaning female and gay community. The chances of me winning are slim to zero.
That said I would defo do a good job.
We certainly wouldn’t want to implant a plan that has a major
flaw...
Miss Bimbo, you plan
to fix democracy by installing a Prime Ximbo who has slim to zero
chance of winning a proper election. Then you will keep installing
this Prime Ximbo whom nobody would actually vote for, every 3 terms
until we have a thriving democracy.
I would love to hear
more about what counts as a thriving democracy.
Lets say
it’s the 3rd term. If our democracy is not thriving then
it’s time for Miss Bimbo to be installed as Prime Ximbo. In which
of these scenarios would Miss Bimbo be installed?
A) There are 2
candidates with different politics. One of them will lose by a
landslide because their politics go against the majority of ximbos.
B) There are 2+
candidates running in the election. It will be a close race, but all
of the candidates have similar politics.
C) There are 2
candidates with equal chances of winning. They have different
politics, but both of them are left leaning LGBT folk who support
trans rights.
D) There is at least
1 right leaning candidate and 1 left leaning candidate, both of whom
have a good chance of winning.
Please tell us which
scenarios (A,B,C,D) count as a thriving democracy, and which ones
would result in Miss Bimbo being installed.
(If you require multiple election cycles to determine whether the democracy is thriving, assume that the same scenario has played out for multiple election cycles.)
I can't fucking wait for the r/hobbydrama write up on this one: Man in his 40s consumes too much Waitrose boxed wine and declares that site banning is the equivalent of death.I mean a) what does his age have to do with anything, and b) it’s obviously an exaggeration.
Distilling Miss Bimbo's original post down to it's 4 Core Items of Action:So what can i/we do to encourage the fostering of democracy?1a. "If no one stands against the incumbent prime ximbo then I will automatically be installed as Prime Ximbo for 1 term."
1.b "So I will be president and Prime ximbo for 1 term and until there are at least 2 proper healthy candidates vying for power."
2a. "Secondly I am going to foster a more left-right political axis in Ximboland
2b. ...by installing myself as Prime Ximbo every 3rd term until such a time when democracy is thriving."
2c. "I will be encouraging and protecting the freedom of speech in Ximboland
2d. "by scrapping all 'hate- crime' laws...[and implementing]...
2e. " the fewest restrictions and laws around speech."
3. "...we are going to introduce news feeds so that we can follow the Ximbos we like of a similar political persuasion."4. "...allow Ximbos to create images and posts that only their followers can see and that they can charge to be seen thus we will monetise creators."I'd like to discuss all 4 of these specific issues...It seems that I have at least a partial, but not definitive answer to my question about one item in particular:***Item 2e.***Did 2e go into effect immediately, the second it was posted?
It certainly appears that it did, based on the conversation so far.A clarification from the relevant PH officers or Ministers would be helpful, at this time. Specifically:Are you going to ban me - or anyone else - for expressing my/their views on this issue - and our opinion of Miss Bimbo?Katie BoutiqueSenatorFormer State Minister - Reasonopia
