Because we couldn't promise it, until the rest of the Nations of the World agree to to do so, we could not do very much on our own, what we could do would be extremely minor and would in no way help the bears anyway.
There is ongoing discussions with leaders of the Nations of the World trying to get better action on climate change, all any Nation can do that wants more done as to it is to press harder for more Nations to support the need for it.
We said in our speech that many things being done were things we would keep as the status quo,talks on climate change are in operation so we support that status quo but would obviously try to press harder for better action with all the cooperation of the other important Nations that need to be brought on board.
It wasn't in our manifesto or speech because it is already a policy we consider is in progress and one we would support anyway.

The only coalition party is ours, The Jedward/Joey Coalition, 2 minds and people who have come together with joint policies presented upfront to improve the lives of everyone.We are also affectionately known as the cosylisten coalition,because we like cosy chats with people and we really listen to what 'they' have to say and hope for too.
The only people who would need to fear the Jedward/Joey coalition are child abusers, murderers and people who set out to cause major harm to others in other ways.(however,even they would have nothing to fear from our policies if they stopped their vile ways of life).
Everyone else would gain something from our policies.
We have no arrogance, we may not be seen to be supported by the elite who have clustered around one party but the people who have decided they would like to give us a chance and have voted for us will find if we get elected that they will not be let down,also that we have no empty holes in our policies and plans and that we care about individuals and groups.
All will benefit from our coalition so if you want to really change things please think about supporting the Coalition of JF and myself. You will not be let down.

I've only had positive feedback on this apart from yourself, people are enjoying it and its kinda brought a lot of tibb members, who don't normally connect, together - especially in off season. Candidates have really gotten into spirit of things and the speech writers have done great jobs, a nice balance between serious and humorous. Plus there's been no arguing in here, the atmospheres been lovely. I hope you feel better about it, but it'll be over soon anyway. :hug:

Good Morning to all forum members.
Today a whole day of voting is possible with another half day tomorrow. I have noticed some comments as to our policy on capital punishement and becasue we are a 'listening' party for 'you', then I would like to explain that policy again.
We want to see capital punishment restored as the maximum option for murder,as a maximum option it would not always be used and of course there would always still be the option of appeal for anyone convicted.
We do however want to see capital punishment as the sentence for multiple murder,again naturally an appeals process is still an option for the convicted but we do feel really strongly that enough is enough.
The other point I want to stress though, is that everyone is and should be responsible for their actions, there is one way to ensure that capital punishment would never need to be used and that is for people to not 'kill' other people.No one needs to fear this policy unless someone is full of intent to kill another Human being.
Why should,for instance, parents,extended families and society see their children killed for no reason whatsoever by people who should be stronger and know better.
Yes, this is a contentious issue but I have no doubt, if a referendum was held in the Country or even here on tibb,that, should capital punishment be brought back for murder being the question,the answer would be a resounding yes.
That feeling we have taken on board from all the wonderful and really passionate serious debate threads on tibb by a large and good cross section of tibb members.
We, the Jedward/Joey coalition are not going down the road of arrogance and elitism in expecting your votes for us, like the LaBear party.
We are aware that people have feelings, have strong emotions on issues and really have agreed with the policies we outline.I believe most of those members still agree with them and some of them are now not saying so but are gathering in the LaBear party because of the gimmicks and frills. None of which would sort out the issues we outlined as our policies.
So we The Coalition, respectfully ask for your vote, we hope you agree with our issues and once you decide to vote,I hope it is ourselves you feel most able to licence to go with our policies to put very important issues that are wrong, right.
joeysteele
31-03-2012, 08:22 AM
I want it to stop because how I view stuff like this is messing up how I view stuff off of TiBB.
I believe everyone has the right to say what they think as long as no major offence is caused to another person or persons.I thank you for sharing your concerns with all of us involved in this.I read your statement with interest.
Although I have to disagree with maybe how you see this,we are supposed to be in an election mode to win.
Determination to win brings about disagreements that are not long lasting but often help the electoral process.
I regret you are uncomfortable with the process but like others have said above, it is fun and I also would like it to be an annual event.
For instance, there are things organised on tibb, that don't interest me or I find not something I would like to do or be involved with so I don't,I just avoid it all.
However that doesn't give me the right to say that something many others are enjoying and taking part in should be stopped just for me.
That would be a very bad road for tibb to go down in my opinion.

31-03-2012, 08:59 AM
Here's what I think
the coalition, stands for giving in to the mob and trying to please all of the people all of the time. It's support of the death penalty is an example that it will compromise any decent moral standards for votes and will do anything to appear electable to the electorate. To me it's a backward party and sooner or later take us 'into the abyss'. On the plus side, in Joey it has an articulate and sensitive leader who is willing to listen and refine what he believes.
LaBear is even worse as it is a party that does not represent the masses whatsoever is completely out of touch with ordinary people and what is going on for them. It represents a special interest group and their interests only. On the plus side, it has a fun aspect to it and doesn't take itself too seriously.
the Piddles Party seems to be in touch with the day to day ins and outs of life in the T.I.B.B forum so it has the potential to do good things for ordinary members. Plus, it cares for and looks after animals, which for me shows it has a caring and compassionate side. It's the only party that has shown that and that's why I voted for it. On the negative side, it doesn't seem to have any policies for the wider world and so leaves a big question mark over what it really stands for.

This will cost you the election. There is no place in a modern society for the government to have the power to murder it's own citizens. It's right wing, and extreme.

This will cost you the election. There is no place in a modern society for the government to have the power to murder it's own citizens. It's right wing, and extreme.
Perhaps you are right and this could lose us this election, however, we thought long and hard as to the issue. I appreciate yours and fruit_cakes observations/input particularly to this issue,however overall, we decided to go with it,for 3 reasons, one is, on here, the majority of forum members do seem to be in favour of the return of capital punishment for 'some' murders,especially child murders, most serious threads seem to lean to that on this issue.
Secondly, the Nation as a whole would if asked, vote heavily for such a policy.
Thirdly, most people I talk to are also in favour of some restoration of capital punishment for some murders.
Personally,I do have reservations,a great deal of criteria would have to be filled for any enaction of this final sentence but if someone kills many people or children,however then knows their lives are secure, I feel they are being given in to.They will be fed, get medical help when needed, they will get exercise, they will communicate with others,they wil watch TV, have access to modern technology, all the things they removed from others existence by taking their lives,all they will lose is their liberty,no other punishment whatsoever.
I stress again, decent, fair minded and right people wouldn't go round killing people and so no one in fact ever need to lose their lives by the re-introduction of capital punishment as an option for sentencing, all they have to do, is 'not' commit murder or multiple murders.
Clearly a self defence killing is a different issue but cold blooded killers never give their victims the right or even chance of self defence especially child killers,how could a child murdered after sexual gratification for the killer ever have a chance to defend themselves.
If eradicating the chance of those murders happening is giving in to mob rule then although I don't see it that way ,I will stand firmly by the policy, despite my own reservations.
Someone has to really act and speak up for those who were given no chance to save their lives at the hands of these people who removed all their rights, any chances and lives too.
Of course in an ideal World,neither JF or myself would want someone sentenced to capital punishment but again I say, no one needs to be, just don't commit murder.
Thank you, for your comments on this policy though. Naturally I can see your side of the argument and fruit_cakes too.
We made our choice on this policy and overall weighing up the issue, I have come down to the view that it is now at this time a right one to explore again.

[QUOTE=Suze;5050599]Brilliant! :thumbs: The JoeyWard party. You just have to canvass for more votes now, by any means available to you, as you are lagging in the voting :([/QU
Thank you Suze,That does sadden me as I believe we have set the agenda of most of this election, very disappointed that some people I hoped would become supporters didn't do so obviously but I would defend completely people making their own choices.
Hopefully more will see that we have policies that really get people talking, we are not like LaBear who resemble as I said earlier, a polo mint, sweet and hard on the outside but in the middle, just a big empty hole.
Piddles seem a bit confused even with their own policies at times whereas we really believe in all our policies and can explain them clearly and are really happy to.
We may not have seemingly got through to the elite,who despite likely agreeing with us have stayed as a group but we are here, we will canvass to the end, all today and tomorrow until 1.30pm to go.
No one has yet won or lost, I really hope other forum members who haven't voted yet read what we 'all' say and then hope they feel more at home with us, a very warm welcome awaits all.

While some policies may be really of interest from the other parties, not one of them have any policies that would better the lives of tibb members or the Country at large.
Halving the VAT to 10% on CDs,DVDs and Games will help everyone including tibb members,the scrapping of the TV licence will place at the disposal of all who have to pay it,over £100 every year to spend on the things they really want rather than what they must.
These are things that benefit everyone and they are uniquely the Jedward/Joey Coalition's policies.
Add to that, the raising of the standard of confectionery, Mars bars in the main and there is even more value for money.
These things matter to and for everyone, they are our policies, no other party here is offering anything in the way of substance like that.
Forum members you have less than 1 day now to give our Coalition its licence to go,if one of the other party wins, none of the above can happen.
Vote for a better future, vote for more security, vote for an end to any discriminations against the disabled, vote for financial change that will benefit your pockets, vote to stop big sweet manufacturers ripping you off with reduced quality products,vote for families to be fully re-united again with all troops brought home, vote for noisy neighbours to finally get their comeuppance, vote for new snack based 'crisps'Restaurants, finally vote for Paedophiles who carry out abuse of children to be taken away from society for life so that children can again be children and safely, not being subjected to such life scarring and horrific acts against them.
These are the policies of the Jedward/Joey Coalition party,with your votes, we will be licenced by you to see them through, without your votes they will be lost and you will have a mish mash of fiddling around policies that bring no gains to anyone except the prestige of the people who are running those parties.
We like to listen, we do listen, we have listened and if elected we will go on listening to 'you', to evolve our policies further
So I sincerely hope you will vote for our Coalition and licence us to act on your behalf,tibbs behalf and the Country's behalf.
Real and right change can come but it has to be voted for, that 'is' the power in your hands.
Click Coalition and grant us your licence.

We have also had debates as to questions raised as to climate change,another serious issue facing the World,which was not one of JFs and mine coalitions policies either.
It is in chat and games,very true. however, as it is clear someone is getting at me here a bit, because one of our policies raised comments from others and also questions which I responded to and answered.I would like to point out,this is also supposed to be an election and much of it is light hearted.
In reality, elections raise serious issues,only one person has objected to the whole thing anyway,so I cannot see a problem.
Maybe what does matter a bit is that it is clear on the serious issues of our policies and also the more lighter and humorous side of some of our other policies, we can at least fully explain our reasoning behind how we arrived at them with no difficulty.
I am personally a serious sort of person, this election,which is an election for fun obviously,doesn't mean it doesn't 'have' to be not played out in the format of as near a real one as is possible.
There are around 7 posts on all the other pages relating to the crime issue mentioned by Shaun above,around 7 posts out of all the total posts over 14 pages, hardly a running issue never mind long enough to be a regular ongoing debate.

Just to add, after some thought, if this does return in the future, I'd make it more structured, keep the fun element we've had of course, just define procedures and guidelines for policies. I intended it to be tibb policies, but didn't officially specify it, so parties have approached it very differently, so I'd learn from that next time. It's been fairly successful, I didn't think it would take off to the extent it has, that's due to all of your efforts and enthusiasm. I'm also pleased by the fact that there's been no arguing, a good vibe, and its been a pleasure to be part of and even get to interact more with members I don't often cross paths with.

I have to agree with you again, on the face of the post starting this off,I understood it as looking at tibb as a constituency and candidates being nominated to be the tibb MP in Parliament.
That was why we concentrated more on National issues.Based on all we have debated and read as to other members views on threads on the forum.
It did sort of develop it's own way after that. However, I think it has been a success overall, people had to work together and a lot of effort and time went into the manifestos,I know that because JF and I spent lot of time in pms planning it all.As did Livia too.
to the present there are near 70 members who have voted in it too.Next time in a framework and clearer guidelines I believe it will be as interesting if not more so even it is set only around the tibb forum and its contents.
I think you suggested a good idea on this,it would be nice if it continued. I have enjoyed it, one day I may be in real life looking at going into politics anyway, this has helped me see some things I may have to deal with,the other thing is though,all the things we had on here as policies are things I would fight for in the real world too.
We all learn something every day,this could have turned into a very difficult and nasty exercise, yet all through it, it has been a good and interesting experiment.Creating quite a few surprises too.
So I want to thank you kate for suggesting it and bringing it about.

This made perfect sense to me and I take your point as to board games too, the only board game we play at home when I am there is Monopoly, it still is best as a board game.
I have 2 cousins who really get into it and they go mad when the properties they want get bought by others.
It is really funny to watch but listening to the mumblings and then the odd bickering going on can in itself be funny too.
I have even seen people go in a huff for a short time playing a board game when it became a close one and very competitive.:joker:
I cannot see a thing wrong with how this creation of Kate's has been played out,it is an election game and it has been fought at times with a bit of intensity as one would be, with humour, with it's really funny moments and also quite a bit of seriousness too.
62 members have thus far been involved as to the voting with some involved in creating the parties in the first place, thus far too 6 moderators are also involved in a party and the voting too, no real nastiness has been evident and in some ways I think a fair few things have been taken on board as to the way people think too
For all that alone it has been a really good exercise and fun game.

They despite having a large influential vote among them have surprisingly failed to get more votes than the other 2 parties.
We do wish LaBear well and hope if they take control that they keep their promises but we feel we can safely predict that following this election, under the LaBear party, likely nothing will be delivered of any importance and that really nothing will change.
A very special thank you to our campaign Manager Livia, who has stood head and shoulders above all campaign managers in this election.A brilliant asset to any party. Finally a massive thank you to all who voted for us and campaigned so strongly for us too. All your efforts are massively appreciated.

Well done to JF and Joey on a good fight, fairly fought. Although they didn’t win this time, they did come in second to a party full of mods. I don’t say that in a critical way (really, I don’t… oh okay, slightly critical…), I say it because they gained a lot of support by the sheer volume of people who they know and interact with every day. So in comparison the Coalition’s result goes some way to show what a great pair of guys Joey and JF are.

Cheers Suze. I'll do it again next year if people want it.
Any suggestions for rules will be taken into account.
How do people feel about all agreeing not to canvass via walls or pm next time?

As I said before I would like some way of not knowing,if it was possible to do on tibb, the voting as it goes on, until the polls closed or the day before the polls closed.
I think canvassing is fine and is part of elections, some people are not that interested in things like an election but would like to support other members doing it.
There are a fair few games,for instance, I personally don't take part in but am happy to throw my votes for someone or others that are taking part.
Sometimes too, members pop on the forum sometimes just to check messages whatever, they may miss the whole event biut a simple message sent asking if they have any interest and would like to could they support such and such in the particular thread.
If it's called an election,then canvassing is part of elections but repeatedly asking for votes should not be the norm, just the one simple pm or visitor message and left at that from each candidate/party whatever the next election is planned to be.
Rules don't have to stringent, just as you outlined originally in my opinion,as I said before though,I interpreted the original plan of this to be that tibb was the constituency, candidates had to be nominated,then get elected as an MP for Parliament by tibb members. However I think the party thing was better than a candidate so I hope that would the format.
What happened was though, policies got branded about,candidates became parties and a full blown 'fun' election was set off wth a mind of its own.
It's why I chose to go down the national policy route more than about the workings of tibb. Wheras in future elections can be stressed to only be about matters tibb, not national serious issues such as some things we had, or abolishing the monarchy for instance like others had.
I have loved it, like Suze, I wished it had been longer,members had to plan and work together and I got to communmicate with some members in a way I hadn't before and that's a really good thing.
Good luck Kate for next year if you decide to do it again and also a big thank you,:joker:I felt a bit worn out as at times it felt like a Uni assignment.:joker:Working through the night planning a manifesto and sending pms to and fro with JF. Great, really great.

It's been great fun and thanks for the people that voted for us and campaigned for us,and it's been great working with Joey.
And well done on your victory LaBear,my competitive side always comes out in competitions but now I can calmly say that the majority got what they wanted.
Oh and well done to The Piddles Party,you put up a respectable fight.

Missed this ( :bored: damn work ) but feel the need to point out that even without the 'mod vote' labear would still have won :tongue:
Anyway, congrats to all. Everyone managed to get a good amount of support :)

:joker:True if they hadn't voted at all but had they voted elsewhere, some other party may have.:joker: I wondered where you had gone Vicky.
It still has been a great fun thing,bringing members together and working together, even with a bit of seriousness in it which always happens when people get competitive but as many have pointed out and very unusual anywhere on tibb in near most things, there was not one single argument. No mod ever had to say a thing as to any guidance or warning of behaviour as to a single post or poster.
That is a fantastic achievement for Kates fun election, in my view anyway.

Got my parents coming to stay for Easter at the house I am in while at Uni, dreading my Dad, I mentioned I was in a fun election on the forum I was on, to which he said a politics student should walk that so he looks forward to seeing what I have said and how big our win was.
His motto is, there are no prizes for failure and if you lose you fail. Aagh.
Can this thread be hidden until after Easter please.
Just joking, I will blame a low turnout.He will be pleased me with me,.......I think.....

Indeed and that of course being your right to,I would support that stance anywhere, all I was pointing out and just saying though, was that in response to 'without the mod votes LaBear would have won anyway'. While that was correct had most mods not voted anywhere else either but obviously had any of them or just a few felt they could have voted elsewhere, LaBear may not have, I was not in any way inferring that LaBear should not have won obviously.
We have this all the time at Uni in competitive political assignments and all harmless banter.No bad inferences whatsoever.

Yes same. Tbh I didn't take this whole thing serious and I don't think you should, considering nothing is going to come of it. A bit of fun.

Thanks for bumping this Jamie, wanted to boost my ego that much further
Kate, will you be doing a questiontime, for some of us to put questions to the elected party about how they have or will uphold their promises, and if some of us in hindsight would have voted differently even? and even the other two partys to put some questions across and/or be questioned? :D

I am sure I could safely say that JF and myself would be up for that one Suze,we are already working on our tibb policies for the next election if there is one and should we get nominated and through to the election stage again.
We should because we are the opposition at present. Nathan is a really good person though and they won and we didn't, simple as that.

Ahh... right Joey... this is what you were talking about earlier ! I love the fact that Livia was your manager! Brilliant. How the hell did you lose then! This is the question!
Simply because I love the word Piddles..... I may have been swayed in that direction.
I LOVE the LaBear twist on wording - very clever indeed. :D

Lol.
Suze, I wasn't planning on doing anything further on this, but if people want it then maybe? Would anyone want to take it on as I'm doing the Bachelorette atm.

Aah don't you start,:joker: My Dad says how can a politics student lose a fun election, he has analysed where we went wrong a bit, he was very impressed with Jf and his age though and the policies he agreed to.
He says it seems the future of politics and the UK seems to be in good hands.:joker:
I am constantly being ribbed though by him, :joker:jokingly thankfully, that I failed to be part of a winning team in a fun election.:joker::joker:
I loved every minute, I am competitive in a serious way but it was really great fun.Reading back over it all, there was some really good humerous touches too from everyone involved.
