StatesRights,
I think you are a bit misguided here.
The UAC did not drive Texasgurl out of the Senate. When I spoke to her, her reasoning behind it was that many left wing residents of District Three were encouraging others such as Nym90 and PBrunsel to run against her for the seat. She saw it that if they didn't support her, the people most like her politically, nobody did and so she saw little point in staying in the Senate.
If that is incorrect texasgurl, please correct me.
On the point of Dunn, well, the UAC was only established after he stated he would leave. Dunn's reasons for leaving were more to do with the civil war and progressive participation in it by Peter Bell and Emsworth, two prominent Progressives, neither of whom is now in the UAC.
On the point of Shapeshifter, well, I don't know why he left, I never asked so he never told. It could have been our fault but it could have been for other reasons. I don't really know.
On the point of tearing apart the institution. Get real States, do you really think Gustaf is trying to destroy the forums?
Even if he tried it would be possible to impeach him. Besides, he could have destroyed it a long time ago, he IS the moderator after all.
As I see it, it would be better for the institution if Gustaf's cabinet picks were confirmed and the cabinet set up, something Gustaf has been trying to do but some Senators have been getting in the way of. Notably Boss Tweed voting against every decision although that is more carrying through with his promise to oppose everything the Gustaf administration does.
Also the rejection of some choices seemingly based upon their party. I note that you StatesRights opposed the choices of Nym90 and Fritz, an Atlas Forum Indepence Party Member and a Democratic Party Member. I am not accusing you of anything here at all, you probably have your reasons, but, as I see it, having a cabinet would be better for the institution and setting up a cabinet is what Gustaf is trying to do.
Finally, you are not the only Senator introducing legislation, both Stevennick and myself have recently as has Beet and Harry was the Senator who introduced the home state bill after Fritz suggested it.
