Hydey come back!

polls are posted

[civman2000]

what about the uncontested positions confirmation poll?

[MrWhereItsAt]

Last time that happened after all the other polls, civman. Seems like a fine idea with me.

There's not as many uncontested positions this time around.

[Shaka Naldur]

do we need to make a poll for uncostested positions????
i´ll do it if you want to but...

[civman2000]

yes just to confirm that the people support them (last election's poll: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=46300)

[civman2000]

shaka? are you going to put it up?

[Shadowlord]

I agree with Civman, we should. And, IMHO, if they get less than 50% yes, they shouldn't be elected, and the VP would handle the duties of their office for the term, until a special election could be commissioned over the next week to elect someone the people actually want.

Why should that matter?

If no one votes for them they may feel bad.
And if people vote for them, it really has no point or meaning? Does it?

[-Jrabbit]

If no one votes for them they may feel bad.

So what? This poll would show that the ppl think their uncontested Cabinet members are doing a good job -- or not. I received (IIRC) about 9 no-confidence votes last month.

Big deal. Boo-hoo.
Bring it on!

[James Adams]

I think that we should just get on with the game, and further the great glory of our empire!

[civman2000]

If no one puts uip the poll by tomorrow I'll do it myself!

[cavebear]

I don't think it is neccesary to put up a poll now for the uncontested positions, we are ready to get on with things for this month.

However, I do think we should make certain to include all positions in the election polls from now on, even if they are uncontested. Mr Vice President MWIA, please make a note on your calendar to that effect for the end of May: "All Candidates must be chosen by the people".
