Political quiz

[Glüc]

Azul,
in order to give the Talossan voters a better idea about the position of the parties on the issues, we are developing a political quiz. The questions were written by Count Hooligan, Carlüs Xheraltescu and me. We hope your party will participate in the compass, which can be done by filling in this excel form. There are 22 questions. The questions will only be part of the final quiz if there is difference between the answers of the parties (so possibly a question like 22 could be removed if the CeR doesnt participate) The calculation method will be the same as the one used in the quiz made for the previous elections. Remember the elections will start next friday, so I'm afraid there isnt much time left. The document can be send to [e-mail]

Yours,
Glüc

I would volounteer to collect opinions from my fellow Peculiartists and transmit our collective opinion to the Great Pollster. For those not wanting to open the spreadsheet, the questions are:

1 The King is a crucially important symbol for Talossan nationhood and unity.
2 The King should become purely a symbolic figurehead and have no powers at all.
3 It is not important that Talossa remain a monarchy; it should eventually become a republic.
4 Dual citizenship in Talossa and a micronation should be banned or heavily restricted.
5 The semi-permeable wall act, which prevents Talossa from having formal relations with micronations, should be repealed
6 "Behaving like a 'real' country" is a goal that often does Talossa more harm than good.
7 The Secretary of State should be required to be non-partisan, i.e., not be a member of a political party.
8 Elections to the Ziu should be conducted purely by secret ballot.
9 When elections are conducted by the Chancery, Senators should be elected in a process where voters rank all candidates, not just vote for one candidate.
10 No member of the cosa may hold more than one seat and to achieve this the size of the cosa should be reduced, effectively raising the number of votes needed for a party to be represented in the cosa.
11 Parties should be obliged to come up with a Candidate list when participating in Cosa elections.
12 It is a problem that so few Talossans are actually living in Milwaukee.
13 It is a problem that everything in Talossa revolves around Wittenberg.
14 It is important that there be only one Wittenberg; private and government Talossan business and discussions should continue to be conducted on a single set of forums at the same site.
15 It should be more difficult than today to become a citizen.
16 The government should have full contact and birth details of all citizens.
17 New citizens should be allowed to choose a province different from their usual assignment, if they wish to do so.
18 The Three Strikes law (that you lose your citizenship if you don't show up to vote at least in every third election) should be abolished in favour of another method to determine continued citizenship.
19 The Organic Law (the constitution) should be easier to amend.
20 Parties shouldnt assign Cosa seats to citizens who are not on their candidate list (including new citizens).
21 The mandatory oath of citizenship should be replaced by a simple pledge of allegiance to the Kingdom.
22 Talossa is a Christian nation and this should be reflected in its laws.

and the responses are: Agree strongly Agree somewhat No opinion Disagree somewhat Disagree strongly

and we also get to rank them in importance.

I filled the spreadsheet, so how can I pass that to you, fellow ChaCha?

[e-mail] would be the easiest way I can think of.
