    As the current head of the Nickel Party, I am running as a tribune. This thread is for questions for the party and signing up for the party.

    Current Leader: Surfusa

    What is the Nickel Party, what are its policies, and how many people are registered members?

    Currently the Nickel party is comprised of only me as of now. Each week the leader (who is elected each month by members) will set the party's policies based on what issues the majority agrees on. The current policies which seem of importance for this election is trust in mods and increase of activity through events.

    A few rules are:
    A) The Leader sets the agenda but must be on the website atleast on Monday's and tuesday, otherwise another vote will commence.
    B) In the case of a split of 45%-55% the Leader must make the final vote.

    Most governing bodies require parties to contain multiple members to obtain recognition.

    And democracy doesn't seem to apply with less than three people.

    I don't support the idea of forming political parties on this forum.

    At this time our active community is not so large that individual users and their supporters cannot represent themselves politically.

    Parties would only serve to unnecessarily factionalize the forum.


    Unless the forum grew to a point where individual members were not so easily recognized, I hold that there is not need for any sort of party system on the forum.

    To be honest, I'm using as a system to find people's view on certain policies and what they unite on. I do not support a party which only votes because it wants a party member in power

    Based off the saying "if I could just throw my 5 cents worth in" stating the concept "If I could just state my opinion...". The US currency has the nickel as it's 5 cents.

    The people's opinions on the forum are not so polarized that they need party representation.

    It's "My two cents", not "My 5 cents".

    That's hardly an argument for party representation.

    lol yea i've hoped somebody gets the refference *bro fist*

    It is also no argument for string-theory.............. your point being?
    If you can argue about the name of the party, so can I.

    As for forming of a party, i really don't care, as i don't for tribunes or other "forum politics".
