    Well then, that seems to be it. 24 hours now for questions to the candidates and after that I will open up the voting.

    *folds arms*

    I have a question for my colleague Anakin.Skywalker. You represent the Hutts, who are not historically associated with the upstanding citizen - by choice, though they have been given many an opportunity to legitimatise themselves. As such you are relatively untested in openness and transparency of system, let alone government. How do you propose to defeat the perception of millennia around your constituents and by default your own candidacy?

    Speaking of which, this question is directed to Sinrebirth and Anakin.Skywalker, though the latter is gone, I believe for the weekend.
    Can you give us some specific tenets of your platform?

    Lady Belligerent plans on providing advanced weaponry to our military, perhaps expanding their numbers for a stronger foothold throughout the Galaxy, Sinrebirth what changes do you intend to affect for troops?

    Snokers, I would want to give them tenure, give them secured and guaranteed pensions, increase spending on housing them and their families, incentives for families that serve generationally, and increase their support by funnelling punishments from the criminal system into military service and including military options in the education system for children that wish to express their talents this way; the military route should not be an extracurricular event to be tacked onto an application; why not make it a topic they may option? Why isolate the military from the everyday life that they will be expected to protect?

    Enshrine those who serve, not put them in a corner as if we are embarrassed that we need to have a military at all; they give us their lives and we should give them our respect.

    BookExogorth; I have a mantra.

    Justice before Order; Order before Peace; Peace before War; War before Chaos.

    If we cannot be Just, how can we have Order; if we cannot have Order, how can we have Peace; how can we have Peace, before we have War, and how can we not War for our society, for our peace, for our order, for our justice, when Chaos arises?

    All of my platforms follow this basic code.

    Any impediment on our ability to create a just society must be removed - justice for all; the rule of law for all, nobody will be above the law, and nobody will be below it.

    Sinrebirth, how do you define order?
    For you, what differentiates order from peace?

    Order is an imposition where there is not justice. Peace is tranquility; the objective of a just society, and were there no injust individuals, there would be peace. Where there is injustice, order must be imposed.

    Fellow Senators, the time has come Execute Ord...

    *An aide leans forward and whispers something in the Chancellor's ear.*

    Hold on a moment.

    *The Chancellor and the aide confer for a moment before the Chancellor again address the assembled legistlative body.*

    ahem. The time has come to put our nominees to the vote and elect our next Chancellor of the Senate. Voting is now open.

    Let's focus on what is happening, rather than what could, BookExogorth.

    Anakin.Skywalker has my vote. I've heard a military stance from the other two. My culture doesn't support that.

    *Senator Bazinga'd Jr steps up to the dias, looking tired and frail*

    Honorable Chancellor and my fellow Senators-

    I am here to announcement my immediate retirement from the Senate due to a pressing health concern and scheduling committments. I believe I leave the Senate in a better state then when I first arrived. I have full trust and confidence in the leadership and faction leaders and I hope that productive legislation will continue to pass.

    May the Force be With You all.

    I am sure I speak on behalf of all candidates when I accept your resignation with sadness as to your departure, but respect for you in the going.

    Force speed, Senator.

    Your presence in the Senate will be sorely missed Bazinga'd.

    OOC: Where the hell did my post go???


    IC: Senator Bazinga'd, I wish you well. It was an honor to know both you and your father.


    To answer your question, Senator Sinrebirth, I seek to set an example for Hutts in general, as well as serve as an "outlier" of sorts for all non-Hutts to see. I realize I cannot change Hutt nature or Hutt culture, but then again, there's always a first, no? I appreciate you bringing this question into the Senate. I think it is something that needed to be addressed. I hope I may pave the way for other Hutts to follow a better example.

    It's voting time, not question time. Not really prudent to answer missed questions during the voting.
