Note to readers: This is the results of Monkey's recent poll on the Presidential Race. He has given me this format (which I quite like) so that I may publish it. Monkey does not currently own his own newspaper and so I have offered to post the results here in EuroWeekly to allow Monkey's poll results greater accessibility and view ability.

- 2011 - 2 - 8.7%
- 2012 - 2 - 8.7%

2. Currently with the candidate's presented platforms, who would you vote for?
- Brun/WL - 4 - 17.4%
- Snowball/Aditya - 4.3%
- Cat/WL - 13 - 56.5%
- Undecided - 5 - 21.7%
3. Why do you think they should be President?
- Because Brunhilde is smart, cool, and experienced
- I lean slightly towards their platform on the areas of most concern to me
- They're proposing different ideas, and I'd like to see that over more of the same from Cat/WL.
- Like their vision more than the other candidates'. . .I think a lot about these things (plus how they answer questions)
- Their platform is the most realistic, with the best goals.
- Requisite levels of experience/activity to keep the ship from sinking.
- they have a good platform, experience, and they're not from the status quo
4. What's stopping you from voting for the other candidates?
- Snowball isn't ready for the gig, and I've got a few more misgivings about Brun's platform tahn Cat's
- Rand's term as Minister of Culture showed how terrible of a Vice President he would be. I simply can't vote for Brunhilde's ticket because of her Vice President. Which is a shame because she would be a good President but our recent history of resignations doesn't bode confidence, shining a light on the VP pick.
- Too small experience of Snowball ticket and different views from Brun
- Snowball/Aditya: Snowball isn't knowledgeable enough and Aditya needs to stop being so incredibly painful by posting spammy little posts in the non-spam areas of the forum before I would ever vote for him for anything other than banning him from the region.
- Brun/Rand: Interestingly pairing, I like both, I don't like the platform.
- Brun's centerpiece is undertaking an overt campagin of influence in the GCRs, GCRs don't like being influenced that much, there's a whole ideology about it. And given that Brun joined TNP for the sole purpose of influencing their citizen only discussions on her own treaty last year, I fear of what similar tactics she might use and the possibility of backlash from GCRs as a consequence.
- Brun/Rand has better ideas. also if we elect Cat/WL then WL will trick Cat into resigning and become President again. this is frank underwood level stuff.
- I think Brun/Rand is the best ticket.
- Drecq (3)
- Deepest House (2)
- Darcness (2)
- Some form of a Darcness/Drecq ticket (2)
- Festavo
- HEM
- Skizzy/Drecq
- Jaydee
6. What do you think is the most important issue this term?
- Foreign Affairs, what to do with CAIN's rotting corpse, how will we handle the redefining of the Raider/Defender axis.
- Domestic issues: Integration being the most important
- Navy
- Successfully using media to advance foreign relationships and an independent agenda.
- Activity, engagement of new players.
- Breaking cliques and unifying the community more.
- Prioritizing and output. Many things move too slowly lately.
- Power exertion on NationStates. We've fallen behind in recent months and we need someone who can bring us back.
7. Who would you like to see in a Cabinet position and which cabinet do you think they should be in?
- Comms: JayDee, Interior: Le Libertia, MoWA: Kaboom, GA: Calvin
- Darcness as MoF, Carrot with Radio
- Jay Dee Attorney General, Sam111 Culture
- FA: Darc WA: Kaboom Interior: Siol Radio: Carrot Navy: Cat Culture: Sam Comms: JayDee
- I think with a heavy military President/VP in Cat/Writinglegend we could gamble on a less experienced GA, since the Pres/VP could provide a lot of guidance.
- XIV - MOFA
