I shall sign, it's a good idea in principle.

People can still look at the person but it might make people think.

ketuasigned, agree thoroughly the better candidates would be far more likely to win this way

I agree, definetley, good idea.

I Agree. and voted.

Agreed. Sheep voting needs to be minimised, not encouraged.

Baa?

Signed.

There should be no party tag next to any of the candidates at all. All it should show is their name and presentation/manifesto. Nothing more, nothing less.

Signed, signed and double signed (a quad of sigs)

Signed. agente86 got 10 votes just because he's UKRP. No manifesto whatsoever. Outrageous.

Agreed

Definitely signed and voted. Are they trying to PROMOTE sheep voting?

Signed

Is there actually a petition on the forums or something, or do we just vote this?

This makes me think the people running the game have never actually voted in their lives! Who thought this was a good idea? Seriously, about the stupidest thing they've ever done.

Signed

Strongly disagree, forcing people to participate in your idea of democracy is no democracy at all.

I don't know. If someone agrees with the views of a party it is not irrelevant to know who represents that party.
I've read a bunch of manifestos and to be perfectly honest the vast majority of them are all horribly wishy washy and don't really say much about the candidate.

Supported by the MDU

Signed.

I agree, provided it is still clear from the manifestos themselves which party each candidate belongs to (in order to avoid supporting a party which has policies one disagrees with).

I'm knew to eRepublik's politics, though aren't we following the UK model of having a party whip assigned to ensure that members of parliament tow the party line? If not then there really isn't any need for parties at all, except to show that you're on one side of the political spectrum at a glance. Voting for the individual is a very presidential mindset; perhaps an oligarchy would suit better here?

Signed!!

Am I the only person who disagrees with this? People should be able to view the party too. This allows them to look at the party's orientation to make sure they agree with that as well as the views of the congressman they are going to vote for.

Signed

This would be a disaster, it would mean that no longer could a political party rally around one member and would mean that no-one would understand the candidates core views at a glance. Also, if you are going to elect a moderate president from an extreme party then it might be wise to know about it and who his other supporters are. People dont support parties like football teams-trust the voters not to be stupid enough to vote depending on which flag the candidates fly.
