We all know that the ongoing Parliamentary elections that are ending in 29 days today, December 3rd, will only see, in the current provisions of article 33-3 of our Constitution, candidates over 40 years of age, potentially accepted as Members of the first Parliament in the History of Asgardia.

Many concerned Asgardians think that this age should be lowered. Some say, to 35. Some others think it should be lowered to 30. Others yet, think 25 would be suitable. And last, there’s me with many other people, who think that 18yo should be the standard, as we believe that a person should be judged by their abilities, their capacities, their dedication and expertise, their behavior, their words and ideas, but not by their age. I’ve expounded on this in my previous blog post and campaign profile .

Yesterday, I posted on the official Discord server that there currently were only 51 eligible candidates who might be making it to Parliament, having the correct age, their exact official name below their profile picture, and a real picture of themselves.

Well, today, it is 50.

Fifty!

We are far from being able to fill up the 150 seats in the Parliament!

Let's have a look at the detail of it. As of today:

Current stats if allowing all eligible candidates 40yo or over:

#of eligible    Language        # of        # of seats

candidates    District        seats    not filled up

25                 District 1         71        (-46)

0                 District 2        15        (-15)

3                District 3        13        (-10)

7                District 4        15        (-8)

2                District 5        7        (-5)

2                District 6        5        (-3)

3                District 7        5        (-2)

3                District 8        3        (filled)

1                District 9        3        (-2)

2                District 10        2        (filled)

0                District 11        1        (-1)

0                District 12        1        (-1)

2                District 13        9        (-7)

50                                   150       -100

As one can see, if the elections were to end today, we would only have two Districts (Arabic and German) able to cover all their assigned seats for the Parliament. All other Districts would not be able to fill their assigned seats up. So, should we lower the minimum age to 35 then?

Let’s see how that would do:

Current stats if allowing all eligible candidates 35yo or over:

#of eligible    Language        # of        # of seats

candidates    District        seats    not filled up

31                 District 1         71        (-40)

0                 District 2        15        (-15)

5                District 3        13        (-8)

10                District 4        15        (-5)

2                District 5        7        (-5)

3                District 6        5        (-2)

5                District 7        5        (filled)

3                District 8        3        (filled)

2                District 9        3        (filled)

2                District 10        2        (filled)

0                District 11        1        (-1)

0                District 12        1        (-1)

3                District 13        9        (-6)

66                                   150       -83

That’s a little better: now that would be 4 Districts (Arabic, German, Russian and Portuguese) able to cover all their assigned seats for the Parliament with eligible candidates.

Let’s see how that would look like for 30:

Current stats if allowing all eligible candidates 30yo or over:

#of eligible    Language        # of        # of seats

candidates    District        seats    not filled up

43                 District 1         71        (-28)

1                 District 2        15        (-14)

6                District 3        13        (-7)

12                District 4        15        (-3)

4                District 5        7        (-3)

5                District 6        5        (filled)

5                District 7        5        (filled)

3                District 8        3        (filled)

5                District 9        3        (filled)

3                District 10        2        (filled)

0                District 11        1        (-1)

1                District 12        1        (filled)

5                District 13        9        (-4)

93                                   150        -60

There is again not much difference: from 4 to 6 Districts (Arabic, German, Russian, Portuguese, French and Japanese). That would still leave most of the Districts with not enough eligible candidates to fill up all assigned seats.

Let’s see if 25 would do it:

Current stats if allowing all eligible candidates 25yo or over:

#of eligible    Language        # of        # of seats

candidates    District        seats    not filled up

64                 District 1         71        (-7)

3                 District 2        15        (-12)

10                District 3        13        (-3)

15                District 4        15        (filled)

9                District 5        7        (filled)

6                District 6        5        (filled)

5                District 7        5        (filled)

4                District 8        3        (filled)

5                District 9        3        (filled)

3                District 10        2        (filled)

1                District 11        1        (filled)

1                District 12        1        (filled)

5                District 13        9        (-4)

131                                   150       (-26)

That’s much better: we would only have 4 Districts with the number of their seats not filled (English, Chinese, Turkish and Other).

Last, what would the result be, as of the data of today, if we were to allow every eligible candidate, 18yo or over, to run for the Parliament?

Current stats if allowing all eligible candidates 18yo or over:

#of eligible    Language        # of        # of seats

candidates    District        seats    not filled up

75                 District 1         71        (filled)

4                 District 2        15        (-11)

14                District 3        13        (filled)

18                District 4        15        (filled)

10                District 5        7        (filled)

6                District 6        5        (filled)

5                District 7        5        (filled)

4                District 8        3        (filled)

5                District 9        3        (filled)

3                District 10        2        (filled)

1                District 11        1        (filled)

2                District 12        1        (filled)

7                District 13        9        (-2)

154                                   150       (-13)

Wow, so close to making it!!
We would still be missing 13 eligible candidates, but we would have 11 of our 13 Districts covered!
Only District 2 (Chinese) and District 13 (Other) would still need to find eligible candidates.

That means with the age changed to 18, we would be so much closer to a successful election (filling up 139 seats) than we currently are (filling up only 50 seats).

Today, will end our first poll organised by Civic-Asgardia on this topic and with it, your chance to voice your opinion. I let you go and cast your vote if you haven’t yet: http://community.asgardia.com/polls/ and if you already did vote for the poll, please leave a comment below or join us on the Discord server to discuss with the community about how to make this current election a success!

[Yes. However sad it may be, we only currently have 154 eligible candidates. Once more, to be eligible, a candidate needs to have put a real picture of themselves, their full name as it appears on the legal ID they have provided on their candidate profile and they must have written *a real platform*. All the profiles that don’t comply with these three points will plainly be removed from the elections for not abiding by the rules set by the Election Committee.

So, if you realise that the candidate you have voted for is actually NOT eligible, either give your vote to another eligible candidate or WAKE THEM UP!! There is still time but... the clock is ticking!]

Dear fellow Asgardian Citizens!

Please join the community to the new official Discord server here:

https://discord.gg/TmAFwm6

Come and make friends, ask your questions to the Candidates for the Parliament and get to know your community better!!

To all my supporters for the current Parliamentary elections,
To all my friends on Asgardia,
To my fellow Asgardians,

As you might have seen, my Leadership election 'platform' that I posted in June when I decided to run as a Trendsetter has been carried on to the current Parliamentary elections. Its introductory words are:

« My first aim is to represent the voiceless: the Asgardians under 40 years of age .
Article 33, paragraph 3 of our current Asgardian Constitution reads:
"Members of Parliament shall be elected for a term of  five years from among Asgardian citizens who have reached the age of 40."
This means that, at the end of this election, only leaders aged at least 40 will have a chance to enter the Parliament. Other leaders will only have one vote to cast to choose a candidate among the ones who are at least 40yo from their language culture. » ( bit.ly/Asgardia1 )

Today, and this for the first time, Civic Asgardia is asking our opinion through the first ever poll in the History of Asgardia. I feel that this is your chance to voice your opinion about the current Parliamentary elections.

As I believe the equality of opportunities to be one of the essential values that we need see growing in our Nation, it appears evident that Candidates should not be discriminated based on their age but should rather be chosen based on their abilities and capacities to lead, their experience of life, their continued dedication, their field of expertise, the show of their deep understanding of the issues at hand and the example they set by their behavior, their exemplary attitudes and of course the accuracy and the eloquence of their words and ideas displayed in their social media interactions. NOT ON THEIR AGE.

This is for these very reasons that my vote in the poll goes to:
" Extend and continue the elections as they are with everyone over 18 able to run and Head of Nation calls for a referendum to change the Member of Parliament minimum age in the Constitution. "

Friends, even if your ideas are different from mine, your opinion matters.
Please, go to the poll page, and vote!

Thank you! You are awesome!

October 12th, around 6pm, that was time for the long ride in the Light Rail Transportation line in Kuala Lumpur, going through that heavy drenching rain (real heavy!) just as one might witness in warm Malaysia at this end of the Southwest Peninsular Monsoon season.
We made it mostly dry to the mall and found that special place for this special event: the DC Comics Café in Putra Sunway Mall. Convenient for its proximity to that same LRT line that helped us get there in minutes from our Northern home rather than being stuck in traffic for hours!
As we were finishing sticking up to the table our freshly printed pictures displaying our Asgardian pride and announcing the event, we didn't have to wait long: our first friend was already joining us! We had already met in Hungary in early August so it was nice to meet again for such an occasion!
We exchanged on the purpose of Asgardia, our lives in KL and shared ideas and understanding about the newly formed Nation!
Wow, one year already!! Asgardia is one year old!
Then arrived our unlucky friend, stuck in traffic in his Uber-ride with a small accident on the way (small fender bender), coming all the way from 31km away (about 20miles), arriving two hours after the beginning of our Celebration!! Thank you to have valiantly braved the storm, overcome the traffic and not renounced to joining us! You had so much to share about your studies at the National University of Malaysia and your research at its Space Science Centre that would you have not come, we would had been at a loss! We learnt so much from you!
The best moment for me was when you shared the difficulties you have been meeting to be taken seriously by your fellow researchers while speaking to them about Asgardia... and the subsequent decision we made together to go and organise a presentation about our Nation (and its future upcoming scholarship opportunities to be offered!) to explain to them more in depth what Asgardia stands for. I personally had that project to share about it with absolutely no idea as to where to go but thanks to you, we have now identified this public of potentially interested people and can proceed to share with them what is so dear to us!
All good things have an end: it was time to say goodbye... We immortalised that moment with a few pictures (thanks for the DC Comics staff!), to later realise that since we hadn't had real dinner, going out to a Mamak place to eat together would make it easier to say goodbye! :-)
Contact made, projects on their way, enthusiasm gathered!

HAPPY ASGARDIA'S FIRST FOUNDING DAY ANNIVERSARY to ALL!!

[ thanks, Jay, for the poster :-) ]
