The reason I joined Asgardia is because I wanted to be part of a bigger community. I wanted to be involved with a group of people that just want to make things better for the many, and not the few. I have been involved with political parties here on earth, however they never truly resonated with me.

If you vote for me, I will do everything I can to make sure Asgardia is a nation you'd be proud to raise your children in. I want to make sure it's the closest, most active and friendliest nation that has ever existed, making sure the constitution is respected and followed at all times.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Hello fellow Asgardians, what a fantastic opportunity lies before us. As a leader, I would love to supervise the inevitable next step in human evolution - that is, to leave behind our ancient animal instincts that no longer serve a purpose and prove to only hold us back. We all are aware of the fruitfulless of hate and the damage that it causes to our society, and that some sectors of humanity utilise hate for purposes of greed and selfishness. This is no longer needed. We as Asgardians have the opportunity to live in pure peace. I will ensure that those with notions of hate are helped to overcome their ancient instincts and taught the correct way. In addition to this, I vow to put in place the building blocks for a money free society, where resources are provided where they are needed and shared where they are wanted. This is an opportunity that I never thought I would see in my lifetime and would love to bring my enthusiasm into making this a reality and bettering the human race, helping us all realise our true potential. Long live the human race!

To the point, we live in a society where money is everything. It's popular in U.S politics that government officials often receive donations from companies, in return these officials push the laws their donors want and fight to remove the ones they don't want as we've seen recently with the Paris Agreement.

Currently, I believe while the constitution states that no one should be discriminated against however, plans should be enforced regarding corporate bodies from interfering with government and elections.

I believe restrictions should be in place disqualifying a nominated party with direct links to businesses and business owners as well as banning funds/donations from "people of interest" to push laws into place which aren't in the best interest of the people. Corruption is the poison of positive progress.

Another one of my beliefs is that elected officials must hold a university education related to their role in order to effectively perform said role within the government as opposed to how current political systems work on Earth, an example of this is the U.S Education Secretary who currently holds nothing but a degree in Art with no experience within the education system.

Science, Nature, and Health should be held to the highest regard as opposed to money and power with these three important subjects focused on to accelerate past Earths progress and lead humans into a new age.

These are the core beliefs I would push forward if elected Trendsetter or Ambassador in order to protect the future government of Asgardia from the threat of corruption from corporate interference.

Support progress, not money and war.

Прогрессия, не деньги и война.

"Look up, Hannah... look up!"

An excerpt from Charlie Chaplins 'The Great Speech', in particular this speech strikes me as the fundamental cornerstone in Asgardian philosophy. Regardless of Religion or cultural belief I believe it is something all Asgardians can empathise with.

So by echoing his words I hope I can cross the gap between us, "'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power  they took from the people will return to the people."

A lot of those that find Asgardia are by no mean scientists, or politicians to pave the way for many and be the voice of greater understanding. Some, like me are people who believe in a better way and wish to help in whatever little way they can.

I believe those of us that can, have a duty to be the voice of inspiration. To open discussions and debate topics, be the devil's advocate, question choices. But most of all, when Asgardia seems weak and disproportionate, we will all come together, to pick her up and hoist her high again on our shoulders.

As an elected representative, I will work in the interests of Asgardia and humanity to achieve widespread health, hope, and happiness. Particular concerns include:

1) Environmental degradation (pollution, climate change, logging, etc.) as a result of poorly regulated business practices. A system of corporate capitalism has developed in which huge corporations subvert market dynamics to their own short-term profit motive at the expense of wider society. It is imperative to design an economic system to maximize human wellbeing and progress without promoting or entrenching inequality.

2) Overpopulation. The scalability of resource production on an orbital platform will be limited. Therefore, I would prioritize planning ahead regarding population dynamics and developing policies or educational tools to maintain the population size in step with resource availability (with an adequate safety margin). These thought processes also have applicability on Earth.

3) Energy production. Technical challenges currently prevent emigration from Earth. The path to overcoming these challenges is slowed by the limitations of our current energy production technologies. I would allocate resources to promoting the use of arising technologies (e.g., next-generation solar) as power sources on Earth and in Space.

Vote for me, I am an actor, so have the voice and confidence to speak out for YOU, and issues you have. You can trust me to do the right thing in any situation. Im also young, so I am here to represent the next generation that will safeguard Earth, Space and Life!

In a world were individualism creates decrees of power that dictates instability, social and financial stability that destabilise world peace a share vision by a group of individuals that work towards a common goal, becoming first experience explorers in a new world will power the future for generation to come.

Hi all, it is a rare thing to have the opportunity to start again, this is an amazing project for the future of mankind. As Humans our imagination knows no bounds or limitations, it's time to show the world that peace is not just a dream. Let's make it count.

HELLO FUTURE ASGARDIANS. I HOPE ONE DAY WE CAN ALL LIVE OUR DREAM AND LIVE AMONGST THE STARS, MAYBE TO GO AS FAR AS INTESTELLAR STAR SYSTEMS SUCH AS PROXIMA CENTAURI. I LONG FOR PEACE AND HAPPINESS FOR ALL OF MANKIND AND TO FINALLY STRIDE OUT AMONGST THE COSMOS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT US AND POSSIBLY OTHER INTELLIGENT LIFE.

Hello and greetings from the UK.

I've just been reading about the asgardia venture for a trans-ethnic, trans-religious multicultural community and hub for the establishment of mankind in the cosmos. I am here In full support and really look forward to getting involved in this community on all fronts of possible.

I am a physics masters and bachelors graduate currently reading for my PhD in soft matter physics at the universities of Leeds, Durham & Edinburgh (All UK) I am a keen amateur drama enthusiast and have a keen passion for learning and knowledge. I am currently learning some basic programming skills as an aside to my PhD and love a good game of squash (first Squash game in asgardia anyone?)
