Genuine comment/question. I don't know the situation in December that happened? I took a break from the site for a bit because of school so I'm a little out of the loop. Could anyone explain?

Also regarding politics. Rules are good sometimes. We don't need total right and total left, I agree that 5 (the middle) is best. A little of each. This is supposed to be a fun, inviting community and we should not alienate anyone.

Tbh I agree a happy medium is fun although I do think that the rule of if ya talk shit expect to get hit should be implemented. There’s been some instances with people pulling some ignorant shit and then crying about it when someone claps back tho the recent pbs and their teams have been good about dealing with it as best they can

Mr. SweetAsNuts ran to become prime bimbo after saying that democracy wasn’t flourishing. It caused a lot of arguments in the forum from November onwards. If you search in the forums “democracy” and then “manifestos” you can see Miss Bimbos posts about the matter and then the manifestos that were posted by the candidates that wanted to run.

Yes I agree with you and I was being simplistic in my interpretation. 
That said I would like to find a simple axis that we can all loosely agree on and be able to use as a guide for future governments and Prime Bimbos. 
I suggest a simple axis using facebook on the left (1) and Twitter on the right (10) as the two extremes.
Therefore I am saying if you elect me I will have rules in the Town Square that are at 7 on this axis.

Mr Nuts, I think your fundamental understanding of the political compass is misinformed. that's okay, it's confusing, and political theory can be really inaccesible. left-wing isn't automatically synonymous with rules and right-wing isn't automatically synonymous with freedom because these things exist on different axes. (i would add a photo but i still don't know how to post pictures on here.) you are conflating the two axes together. if they were the same, it wouldn't be a political compass, it would be a poltical scale. the authoritarian-libertarian axis is the vertical one and this is what determines aspects of free speech, individualism, censorship and the like. it isn't something that can be simplified, quantified and numbered 1 to 10. even the political compass doesn't offer more than a vague indication of political leanings and they're a lot more complex than that. from what i've observed, you identify as strongly libertarian, but this isn't mutually exclusive with leftism. i think that is where you're confused. 

if we go back to the political compass (which, again, isn't the best tool for understanding politics, i'm just using it to explain my point), you can see that the horizontal axis decribes economic traits. economic-left and economic-right are potentially even more vague than trying to understand authoritarism-libertarianism but i'll have a shot at explaining. economic right tends to believe in private property, limited government involvement, free market capitalism, economic individualism, etc. economic left values higher taxes for higher tax brackets, redistributive wealth, social welfare and empowering the working class. this is difficult to explain because views vary across the spectrum and throughout the four quadrants, but i hope this helps.  i also want to say that i live in australia so my understanding of politics may be different to people who live and were educated in other parts of the globe.

i am not sure what your economic beliefs are despite keeping up with your campaign for the past few months, and i think it would be helpful for you to clarify this (even if it's just in relation to the Bimboland economy) so we can better understand your stance. social conservatism and progressivism are also different aspects to this that aren't clear. because i think it is confusing when you say you identify as right-wing but don't explain what ideals you ascribe to, other than your focus on freedom of speech, and a lack of moderation/rules. it's good for you to have a clear goal, but it would be pertinent to expand further on what your views are, since you are keen on implementing more politics on here. looking forward to your response, take care!

In my view of the world left and right are an axis along which we move from control and rules on the left to freedom and individualism on teh right.
Please do enlighten me as to how you view the axis? 

Instead of a straight 2D line where left=rules & right=freedom, its helpful to view it more as a graph with 4 quadrants.
The horizontal axis of the graph is the scale of left vs right. The vertical axis of the graph is the scale of authoritarianism vs libertarianism. (the left/right axis is more talking about economics, as social things like queerness or racial diversity dont inherently belong to only one quadrant).

So for example:
- authoritarian-left would be like stalinist russia. high economic control & high social control. this seems to be what you view as 'left'.
- authoritarian-right would be like nazi germany (or USA version of 'christian Republicans'). minimal economic control but high social control.
- libertarian left would be like an anarchic commune. economic sharing w no social controls. 
- libertarian right would be like free-market individualism (USA version of 'Libertarian'). unregulated economic individualism w no social controls. this seems to be what you view as 'right'.

I also dont know how to submit images on mobile, but you can google 'political compass' for a visual! Spacesignal posted a more detailed explaination above me. 
(also im american so thats why i used USA references, one of yall brits can add more relevant references)

This is lazy. I am not a dictator am I? If I were a dictator I would have installed myself as Prime Ximbo wouldn't I? 
I lost the election to Cherri fair and square. But I am still the Presidents secretary - legal and personal. 
And now I have to work with her and she has to work with me. 
My job is to hold her and her government to account and I suggest you do the same

Can I kindly remind the government officials to stay out of this thread please.
Its for opposition only to talk 'about' you.
So its clearly a conflict of interest if you try to participate even as a citizen. After your term in government has finished you can participate but it undermines democracy having you participate now so please stay away

Mr. SweetasNuts...
if you were a dictator...
why would you bother bringing matters up before the Senate
and calling for a vote?!
The vote can go in your favor, or not.  That is a risk dictators don't take.

If you were a dictator...the Dunk Tank would be in use 24/7.
And it would be named The Xulag or The Xuillotine.

...and I think you should put a link on the site for the book.
It's finally going to get it's due.  Plus it will help revenue.
