You know that back in 2006 with the creation of this slogan you almost anticipated the slogan of President Obama's campaign.

Anyway, to repeat, I would find it more important to reform the Cosâ first. There is a Senate consisting of (soon) 8 Senators, who are representing the provinces; my draft proposal would be that the Cosâ should consist of either one more or one less MCs than there are Senators, thus we'll eventually have a Ziû of a total of either 17 or 15 members. In the US, the House of Representatives is capped at 435 members. Each state receives representation in the House in proportion to its population but is entitled to at least one representative. ( I do not think this would work in Talossa, btw). What if we had a Cosâ that reflected a percentage of the # of Citizens in the Kingdom? Say, for every 5 Citizens, we have 1 MC. We have 180 Citizens ..so we would have 36 MC's.

I tried to find it on Witt Xii (b), only to find out that Witt Xii (b) wasn't used before 2007. So, next step, I will browse the copy of Witt X for it, assuming that it must have been online around May 2006, when the abovementioned presidential election was in full swing. You may nudge me every now and then, if I'm forgetting to browse Witt X, Eiric.

I guess we'll have to ask ourselves if we ever had as many as 36 real persons elected to hold seats in the EM-200 Cosâ. If the "Real Cosâ" would be somewhat oversized, we'll run into frustrating problems with empty seats and apathetic MCs who had to be cajoled into serving just for the sake of keeping the Cosâ alive. If the Cosâ was too small, OTOH, it might become too difficult to "win" a seat in there, which would cause other frustrations and even some political apathy; but the activity might as well evade to the provinces, therefore doing us something good. Food for thought and talk, I suppose.

I found Üc's old campaign posters and I found the thread in which you posted the Cat-A-Pult-poster, but by the time when the copy of Witt X was taken, the link to the Cat-A-Pult-picture was already dead. Something with aruxha.talossa.org - was this your project, or was it Dermot's?
