Hopefully we won't need to find out

I just want to point out that my username is Bossy20000 and not Bossy2000

EDIT This should in no way stop you from voting for me I am after all a certain factor here (commenting on everything and everybody, and threatening everybody once in a while to send them to the Gulag

Looks like this is proceeding like any 'normal' Soviet election

If elected, I promise to provide armchair criticism of our grand strategy, in the tradition of our bourgeois ally Churchill.

yes this could be pretty close. If there are ties, I say we hold runoff elections. ie a tie for the 7th slot would have a new election to chose from those who tied.

Sounds reasonable. I also propose to make the unfortunate one the first runner-up for when there is a vacancy in the Politburo. We give him the first empty seat available (but he can always reject, of course, in which case we will give him a one way ticket to ... )

Everyone is getting caught up on the 7 max number.

That was never my intention.

With more than 7, whoever is one the low end of votes will be an assistant or something like that.

The idea is too include as many people as possible, not exclude like some people around here would like to do.

Dont worry about the magic seven number. Anyone beyond that will be an assistant or a junoir member of Politburo.

The idea is that there are seven voting voices for the General Secretary and those same voices to remove the Marshal

OK I agree with that. And you are right on some issues it is better to know that upfront. This is one of them.

We should hand out free vodka to get more people to this poll. Everybody who doesn't like vodka, isn't a real Russian, and should be interrogated

Free vodka for everybody!

Alas, I must reveal myself as an evil Volga German who does not drink Vodka.



Good luck to the glorious Politburo of the mighty Soviet Rodina.

You are an evil Volga German indeed, but I think you are also a Star Wars fan, so I won't send you to you know where! After all, how can somebody who likes SW be evil?

Not liking vodka is anti Russian and therefore anti Communist.

But fear not, Comrade! We will teach you to like vodka, so generous is our spirit and so merciful our way!

I won't make promises, but I will do my best, as I have done till now, and I wil strive for a better country (although this is impossible, because we already have reached perfection )

A comment on comrades Xenozod promise: we are the nation of the worker, if we give him a holiday every day, who will do the work? Who will make the vodka? Therefore, vote for me, I will have more distilleries for more quality vodka!

We could get the work done on National Recuperation Day.

Of course, vodka wouldn't be a problem, as we are a perfect nation.
