Or it's treason.
Apart from shitty prequel memes, there are other reasons you should elect me to the UH.

First and foremost, there are some legal areas I would like to shore up - this whole recent PNG business has exposed some areas which I think need work, because I'm of a mind that if we strip someone of citizenship, we either need to provide a clear-cut route to rehabilitation, or completely axe them from the community. None of this half-assed 'well we hoped he would see this as a wake-up call and get help'. To that end, I would like to split Revocation into two parts - one Revocation-with-Rehabilitation (which would be essentially probationary citizenship, probably with a mentor to work with and ensure progress), and one Revocation-with-Ostracism (where in the true spirit of Athenian Ostracization, they're kicked out for 10 years and then they can come back. Why 10 years? People seem to believe in second chances, so there needs to be some light at the end of the tunnel - but by god will I make that tunnel long).
Additionally, I think that we need to establish a clear-cut legal definition of evidence - and more importantly, where evidence is necessary.

Secondly, I think it's time we went harder on the NS-community side of things, because that's where the majority of our growth comes from. Part of that means taking the time to integrate the RMB community into things, and I feel like that can be accomplished with heavier promotion of the Discord. The other part of that is more serious moderation of that in the first place, to prevent some of the flaming that seems to routinely go on, and I'd like to introduce legislation to ensure that the Delegate has some responsibility for moderating, which, if he would rather not do, he may appoint 1-2 moderators to do on his behalf.

Thirdly, Crush has expressed a desire to burn down the UH for a while now, and if we continue not really doing very much with it, I'm in favor of that too, since now that we're electing Thanes, we could relatively easily restructure the government such that Thanes also fill the roles that UH members have now (with a caveat that appointed ones (currently including myself, full disclosure) do not have voting rights, but can still debate in the UH).

Would this not further divide the community? From what I'm seeing, the Discord is already, in a way, becoming increasingly separated from the forum community. Then, the issue we end up with is having three different but interrelated communities to integrate, not two.

The Delegacy falls under the purview of the Monarch, and as such its responsibilities must be altered by Royal Decree, not Storting legislation. And from what I'm aware, Wintermoot has not been in favor of the idea of adding more RMB moderators under the Delegacy. You could pass an Underhusen resolution demanding or requesting the Monarchy to do so, but I will note that the last time we did that (the Grammar Corrections Resolution), both Wintermoot and the Overhusen did nothing, so there's that.

But most importantly, do you support the Holy Potatoe with all your heart and soul? And would you give your life for the Almighty and Holy Potatoe Pope?

Nope. Tomatoism is a proud part of my family's culture and heritage, and I'm confident that Wintreans can learn to trust a Tomatoist considering the values our religions share.

You go to hell, Doc.

I highly encourage everyone to not vote for this heretic! The Underhusen must remain heretic free, not only for the souls of the members of the Underhusen, but for all of Wintreath!

That was not something I would expect @Gerrick to like.

I'm certain Gerrick isn't a heretic, and can also see the inevitability of Doc going to hell.

Surely we can put aside our spiritual differences in order to make the temporal changes we all find necessary to the proper running of the Wintrean state?

That was not something I would expect @Gerrick to like.

It was just an amusing escalation.

And I consider myself a Tatoist -- I see the Truth and Good of both the Potatoe and Tomato faiths, so I worship the Divine Amalgamation of the two.

MEN! WOMAN! GENDER NEUTRAL PRONOUN!
READY THE STEAK. WE HAVE A HERETIC IN OUR MIDSTS.

This is exactly what I was talking about, Crush. There is hope for a union of our faiths yet.

What? I can't hear you over the SCREAMS OF BURNING HERETICS!
