Q & A #13 by-elections - Cheryl Gallagher, MP candidate

Thank you for asking me some questions on facebook, I'm very happy to answer to the best of my ability!  (Special thanks to Nissem and M Helena!)

Some of these questions are very specific, and I can say frankly that until I have the opportunity in office to study the various situations and evaluate their circumstances and their actions to date based on current and actual data, it is very difficult to say what my position would on a particular decision or point of view being considered by parliament.  Nevertheless, I think I will communicate enough of my point of view or opinion here based on my current knowledge for you to be able to decide to vote on my candidacy.

In general, I can say that I will give well-considered, non-predisposed opinions, based on what appears best to makes sense, and be realistic for the needs and due process of governing Asgardia at the time.

Q: What do you think about transparency in decision making?

A:  It depends on the mode of government and the circumstances... functioning as a fully collaborative society, more transparency is needed, as everyone has an opinion and decision about everything.  This tends to get chaotic if not managed well, can easily get out of hand, and action can become paralyzed.  In a cooperative society, such as a representational republic, the representatives have a fiduciary duty to represent well and make decisions in the best interests of everyone on balance, they are in respective committees of focus and therefore, with everyone doing their level best, everyone does not need to know everything about everything at all times, (although all decisions and there respective processes should be recorded and accessible to other for future reference, that's for sure).

Q If you should rank these sectors by importance, how would you do that?  Science and space exploration/ Education / Economy / Social and Health / Military and Security / Foreign Affairs / Law and Regulation?

A.  Just as any one aspect of planet Earth's functioning affects all the others organically, all sectors in Asgardia's existence are as important as all others, and so a sensible order of "What sector makes sense to focus on right now?" to "move the ball down the field" in the right direction and most efficiently to build Asgardia as a healthy nation, becomes the important question.  The coordinated efforts of all sectors developing in the same time frame with knowledgeable and effective experts in each field, will help that development happen better and more efficiently.

Q:  In a multi-cultural environment such as our future parliament, what would be the secret formula for a successful team job?

A. Open-mindedness, communication, a dedication to hard work and an unshakeable practice of mutual respect and consideration for all.

Q Do you think we should have weapons to defend ourselves as a nation or would you consider having passive defence (shields, systems to deactivate threats, etc)?

A.  Weapons and weapons management is a ever-present topic of extreme sensitivity, and the source of great misery on all sides.  I would say that in most cases (not all) the actual use of weapons by anyone against anyone leads to tragedy on some level, from all-out war, to the smallest act of personal aggression.  Tragedy unnecessary and not our best interest as a developing species... we are trying to avoid such tragedy... That said, national defense remains an important part of a central government's responsibility to its citizens.  Therefore, the topic of national defense should be considered very carefully and conscientiously, with all the many options available, including new technologies upcoming and the yet undeveloped, with the concept of peaceful relations and diplomacy the primary focus.

Q. What do you think is the most urgent law to be made in Asgardia?

A. The next one that makes sense and is needed to grow Asgardia as a healthy and thriving new space nation!

Do you have questions for me?  Feel free to ask here, I will do my best to answer.

Buenas a todos:

En el video anterior me presentaba a todos vosotros para que me conocierais un poco más. No obstante, era necesario realizar un video donde antes que nada, explicara qué es Asgardia y en qué consisten sus principales lemas y símbolos nacionales. Aquí os lo dejo. Podeis dejar vuestros comentarios en el video abajo. Y ya sabeis, para estar actualizados no olvideis suscribiros al canal.

Un saludo,

Namaste!

Happy New Year Everyone!

2017, was a rough year for me. Lost a job. Got a new job and have been trying to cope with training and a new schedule.  Then the holidays hit with the assorted chaos that they bring.  Right up to New Year's Eve.  I awoke early and found a text from the lady I love telling me that she is very sick.  I spent the last day of 2017 crying and getting drunk.  This morning, she tells me it isn't as serious as I think.  She has always been a crappy lair....

Today, 2018 begins.  I have had my cry. The Holidays are over and I am back.  I declare 2018 to be a "YEAR OF HOPE".  Hope for me. Hope for the Lady I love.  Hope for Peace. Hope that life will be better for everyone. Hope for Asgardia's future. Hope for Elections. Hope for a wise and just Parliament. Hope for Wisdom. Hope for Vision. Hope for Unity.  Yes, let Year .0002, 2018 be offically a Year of Hope.

Asgardia. The answer to mankinds next progressive steps into space. The saying goes "If you want something done, do it yourself." Earths main governments can't get along long enough to maintain the status quo for the International Space Station, what makes people think they can ever get along to create a station big enough for human life to function, an thrive?

Looking at the photo of the Milky Way, I can't help but feel like there's so much more to come. Space is too big to be alone. If we want to go there, we have to make it happen ourselves.

Hello, Asgardians! First of all, I am honorable to this peaceful environment as a young and curious girl, I am doing research on space and science and I believe that many things can be learned here and i think we are not alone in this universe

What do you think about this?
