"Once more unto the breach, dear friends"

Looks like I am running for election to the Underhusen again, what a surprise, when I first joined I really didn't expect to be running for a government office at all, let alone re-running after 2 consecutive terms, I can only thank you for already putting me in this position.

Anyway, as I have said in elections past, I think that I am open to having my mind changed on points if I am presented a convincing argument, but that until that happens I will defend what I initially believe.
I try my best to make sure, that amendments, statements and acts made by the Underhusen are as clear as I can make them, and as such, I try to get my fellow Skrifa (and myself) to explain what they mean often.

I always try to be level headed and keep cool, avoiding heated discussions, unless I think my presence is absolutely necessary... I don't know if I always succeed but I like to think I do most of the time.

Basically, I like to see myself as very moderate and open.

And one thing about me in this election is, most everything I say about myself, you can look up and check if it is true, the archives of this and the previous session are on the forums, and I encourage a responsible voter to check them, I believe I should be judged on my previous actions more than anything I can say or promise here.

OK, with all that said, I am open to any questions below.

Thank You, for your consideration!

What is one thing you didn't like about your performance last term, and how would you do better?

Hmm, there are a few things, so I'll bend your question a little and mention 2...

I would like to have been more active, and that shouldn't be too hard to fix if I am re-elected, I simply need to be more confident to speak up during discussions, and I think I started to get better at that nearer the end of the term.

The main thing, is that I don't participate too much in the actual writing and editing of laws directly I think that is a flaw of mine, and I think I would be a better service to the region if I could improve in that area... Though that might be difficult, but I will defiantly try to work on it, even if I am not re-elected. . I think if I am more critical of each law and if I can just be a bit more confident to speak my mind about them that would be a start... but am still wary of actually writing anything, all I can say is I have identified the problem and I will work to try to get better in that area.

Thanks for the question.

The other candidates that have put out a campaign have clearly stated something that they want to accomplish this term...what is the one thing you would like to most see the Underhusen accomplish?

Knew this would be a question.

While I think a set goal for a term can be helpful, I think it could also be limiting, so I prefer to try not to be too direct in that regard.

But that is a total cop-out, so I'll try and actually give a proper answer:

I'd say my goal this session, is simply to make sure that laws passed are clear and understandable, I particularly want to focus on making the discussions that the UH undergoes open to the whole community, after trying that out a bit last session, I think it would be great to expand on, to try to promote the government to the whole region and get as many views as possible from outside and inside the UH.

Good luck, HannahB, I'm sure you'll continue to make an excellent skrifa :]
