BEFORE YOU READ THIS OPINION: take our presidential flash poll (<---click there)!
It'll only be up for 24 hours (because the election is in 72 hours).
Opinion: Boring Presidential Election is Boring
Surely, this absolute tornado of fuck is a recipe for another Thunderdome election, with the titans of Europeia presenting big visions of the future! Surely, the political animals of the premiere region in the game would smell blood in the water and would be lured in by the siren song of Executive power. Surely, this election would meet the moment!

Ah, mhm. We have one candidate - the incumbent - and one platform with a number of comments you could count on one hand.
Was JayDee just so powerful as a President that he's scared off all competition? No tea no shade no pink lemonade, but I don't think any of us would claim that this term was invincible.
So what's the deal? In a conversation with another Europeian Old, we speculated that our aging player base may have replaced the traditional "summer slump" with a fall slump, where people are busy with the holiday season and a slammed time at our boring desk jobs. Maybe that's why no one is running.
And I can already hear the chattering class saying, McEntire you brassy old broad, put your money where your pretty little mouth is and run yourself. Well guess what! I have already run in three different elections this year so that they wouldn't be uncontested. It's someone else's turn.
I believe there's an opening in this race! Take the flash poll above to see if there is actually an opening. And you, YES YOU, reading this, start writing your platform. Successful campaigns can be launched with a short time before the election. And even if you don't win, let's get a few candidates in this race and force a runoff period! It's what we deserve.
Results to come soon.
