 * (I was somehow disappointed in the "green vision" of every candidate. Where is the idealism and radicalism? Anyway, Michael deserves my vote because he is a true progressive and a friend of the cause.) DimiTalen 08:44, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:48, October 10, 2012 (UTC) two reasons: though CNP is politically closer to me than Labour, in the SE it's more about the person than about the political program; f.e. you can't pass anti-abortion laws on State level. In my opinion, Marcus did just fine last term. I preferably want to see a coalition between Marcus as Governor and Kunarian as Deputy; next elections I might be convinced of Kunarian's ability to be the Governor. Second reason (probably the more interesting :P): an equal vote number'll make the elections more exciting :P
