UCAS Presidency.
Alright, we'll need another group of oddities, just because.. so.. Republican: A cat shifter with a SIN Democrat: An immortal elf, just to piss everyone off. Technocrat: A human ex-Mr Johnson who knows how to take orders and has a great public face. New Century Party: A dwarf that doesn't speak english but everyone finds so lovable Independent: Nadja Daviar who just shows up out of nowhere. |

Unless she's secretly been a cat shifter all along.... |

Is it too soon for a Reform party called the New Revolution?
"A lot of people like that reform. Maybe we should get us some." "I'll reform you, you soft-headed son of a bitch. How we gonna run reform when we're the damn incumbent? Is that the best idea you boys can come up with? Reform?! Weepin' jesus on the cross. Thta's it! You may as well start drafting my concession speach right now." |

Some of them are allowed to vote. Ever since we gave citizenship to a dragon, there's been no end to the requests for citizenship from hippies, pixies and free spirits (both the hippy type and the materializing type).
Disclaimer: Remember, some doesn't mean "all" or even "most." As long as at least two spirits are allowed, we've met the "some" criteria. |

Perhaps Colloton abolished elections and made herself president for life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/vegm.gif)
Anyway, can UCAS presidents be elected for more than two terms? As I believe, they can be elected over and over, unlike in the old U.S. constitution. |

Wasn't Haeffner running for a third term in 2064? |

I'm sorry I don't recognize the existence of the illigitimate UCAS government. The current government of north america (now including canada) is the united states....it's just taking a temporary hiatus.
.................................:sigh: I'll vote for angela. |

Cows in fedoras? It's just one ignorant stereotype after another with you isn't it? I don't know what you've been told but I don't live in a bunker and I'm not afraid of government mind control rays and the United States ain't dead yet...you'll see.

It not the mind control rays but the Thor Shot's you have to worry about. A guy once told me they have one aimed at every citizen in the UCAS, it's true I read it in the Weekly Sixth-World News!

Thud will write in his mum. She doesn't even qualify, being British-born (unless that got changed), but he thinks she deserves it.
