As our Saxon-Justice party system will be going by the wayside in after the election, it is suggested members begin forming new parties and deciding party primaries and whatnot. However, remember parties need to be registered with the government to be recognized, to register a party, message Dourterk or Oldenfranck .

The Current Ballot:

Should it be up to the President to choose the seats on the court, and for those nominations to be approved by the Congress? Also, I believe it should be precedent to keep the same judges as long as they wish to remain

It did not pass, I simply moved it to the archives. It was a referendum, it was defeated. If it were not a referendum I wouldn't have bothered posting it on the regional poll. Besides, this is not the place to discuss regional policy.

I would like to announce after some talk with my party's leaders, we have finally decided to run a presidential candidate. I have been chosen by my party to represent us as we look for political success. I'll be looking forward to expanding our freedoms as nations of Saxon Justice and looking to help those in need. Let's make this region awesome! Also, don't forget to join the Evergreen Party!

Consider this my campaign speech:

Good evening members of Saxon Justice, I am Ogamingi, the current Prime Minister. I am one of the original members of Justice and helped to establish much of the groundwork in our region. Although I am from the original region of Justice, I believe that we should have complete cooperation among every party, whether Justice, Saxon, or any new party like the one I have formed as a way to create an independence for myself from other parties.
I believe in individual rights that must be protected by an active government that watches out for its citizens. My Commonwealth of Ogamingi is arguably one of the most successful countries in our region with a massive economy and the most extensive civil rights. These are things that I aim to contribute with my leadership. I have the knowledge to lead a successful country and I can do the same for our eclectic region of nations. I do not believe in hoarding the power to one group, I believe that should actively be avoided. Transparency and honesty are how I roll.
Vote Ogamingi in the Presidential Election! Thank you

I have rarely done anything like this in my NS career before, especially since I am more of a hermit, but due to my deep concern for our sole candidate for prime minister, I am announcing a last minute candidacy for the position of prime minister of our region. I do not know if I will win or not, but I see a candidate, Evergreen Norway who is inactive, and has rarely done anything in our region, and yet, he is running for one of the most important positions in our region. I cannot, in good conscience, let this individual run alone for such an important position. I, have been active for almost 1 and 1/2 years, have a successful nation (compared to my opponent), never CTE'D, and have served behind the scenes, as a policy advisor to both Oldenfranck and Wiesover . I hope I can get enough support so I can help lead this good region. You would be in good hands should I win. I would respectfully listen to all ideas, and help individual nations with government in our region that seek it out. Thank you, and long live the union!

I know I announced my candidacy late, so I will do my best to basically give an overview of what I would want to achieve, should I win the election for prime minister.

I. Put forth legislation declaring the the two founding parties defunct. Its origination was actually just an austerity measure put forth by our founders to make sure everything would roll smoothly in the beggining. I feel as though it has served its full purpose, and is ready to be declared null. This would just be for actual physical power that the party's potentially possess. All logos, names, etc. would be kept, as they are a part of our heritage. I do not feel as though we should declare all parties defunct, as they are a real draw, and key feature of our region. But my intention and purpose for declaring the two founding parties defunct, is to level the playing field, and make everyone equal. Granted it was an austerity measure, it still made key distinctions among our citizens, but all other parties do not have this aspect of difference and and preventions in them, so I believe that it is fine that they stay.

II. Set up an office for the position of prime minister on the offsite forums. This would be intended for more convenience, and general help to our citizens. I would want a setup similar to what I advised Oldenfranck to do for current Secretary of State Wiesover , except more tuned towards the duties and areas of support that the prime minister provides.

III. Provide jobs in my officehold to help make the duties carried out faster and more efficient. This would also provide another opportunity for people to get involved in our government easier.

That is just a rough sketch of the plans I have now. I will always be open to taking input, and could possibly add on to my plan in the future. Thank you, and long live the union!
