Message | OOC: This basically means that every party now has a chance to hold the position and it also means no more nominations for the first minister will have to be voted on. Because of that, the First Minister will now be selected when the entire nation holds elections. What this means is the party that either does 1 of the 4 things mentioned below, will control the position of First Minister. 1. Wins both provinces (Floral or Rutania) 2. Wins one province and has the GREATEST number of seats in both provinces 3. Wins one province and a MAJORITY of the seats in the other 4. Wins a MAJORITY of the seats in both provinces If your party wins control, you need to send me a PM giving me name and a short bio of the person your party ran so I can record it in the archives. |
