No one!

as I feel all politicians are GAS BAGS and thus can't be putting them in office.
Why? Because, then people with Cigs and Matches might ignite one and Oh boy!
Then what trouble we would be in?

Gwyneth Llewellyn is currently the Prime Minister of our governmental sim and frankly she is doing a brilliant job at it. Consider her nominated.

As an aside, it should read "If there were a SL election". Because you're discussing something that is hypothetical, the verb should be in the present subjunctive.

well you'd have to be more specific, really.

Who are we electing? The next FIC member? The next sacrifice to the volcano? The next victim of the pitchfork brigade? The next partner for Ursa?

Elaborate! Cuz you can't surely mean government elections, cuz no one would be that dumb as to suggest it. Would they? o.o

Dumb as a frickin' rock, or just trying to rile up the 'anti-government whiners'.

I think its the latter.

My candidate would be 'Individual Self-Government'.

No, it is a "I don't need a player-run government to run my secondlife" sort of thing.

If people what to experiment with player-run government in private sims, more power to them, within their own little communities. Its when these folks assume that everyone should be governed by this player-run government that I take issue.

It is an anarchist perspective that I espouse:

From: someone
Anarchism is a political theory which aims to create anarchy, "the absence of a master, of a sovereign." [P-J Proudhon, What is Property , p. 264] In other words, anarchism is a political theory which aims to create a society within which individuals freely co-operate together as equals. As such anarchism opposes all forms of hierarchical control - be that control by the state or a capitalist - as harmful to the individual and their individuality as well as unnecessary.

Actually Ghoti I am pretty much in the same boat as you in this regard.
However I was making a Phunny when I said that about my own Grandpa.
Especially as I know so many are so tired of the drivel that spews from Governmental threads.

I would like to announce my intention to run for election on behalf of the Straw Man Party.

If elected...
I will pass legislation that makes bugs in SecondLife a criminal offense.
I will have each member of the FIC sent to the guillotine.
I will increase stipend to infinity/week.
I will create a sim that will act as a "hoochie/blingbling camp"
I will increase rhetoric by 84% and hyperbole by 93%.
And finally, I will be assassinated shortly after the election, paving the way for a brutal dictatorship.

VOTE FOR AIMEE!

Did you just not insult me and then claim it was all in good humor to distance yourself from the act? Ladies and gentlemen, I think we've found ourselves a true politician. ;)

I would like to nominate Beau Perkins for office. :D
