The Peoples Thoughts

At the end of some sections and the survey we asked respondents to share their thoughts or continue their thoughts about the state. Overall we have seen a consensus of concern with the Judiciary and the Department of Justice after the botched Elizabeth Walker Case. Users went on to ask if the Judge should be impeached. On the final day of the survey the legislature had introduced Impeachment Articles. There was also continued concern regarding the Department of Labor and Commerce and allegations made in the last congress.

There were many issues outside a broad consensus of concern such as the new Criminal Code updates and the ‘Enemy of the State’ declaration made by the Governor. One respondent saying

Gov. Starr has declared a group freedom loving protesters as “Enemy Of The State” in an official declaration this past week, that should tell you all you need to know about this FASCIST TYRANT!

There has been a mixed reaction to the declaration however as it occurred during the polling we were unable to add a question to enquire further.

Overall the people seem happy with the new congress, however we are now leaving the honeymoon period, the real test begins now for the new Governor and the Legislature.


Special thanks to all those who helped answer questions this month, if you missed out this month and want to contribute we typically run Politipoll on the first weekend of every month (unless there is an election occurring.)
