Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England

[Aron MacEanraig]

If you'll have time, I'd be interested in
- the Great Officers of State of NE, in the Black Rods of NE,
- the provincial symbols (flowers/ animals/ tartans/ mottos, etc.).

I know for one that Massachusetts Bay would still have its Sacred Cod as its provincial animal

Actually when I comes to the Provincial symbols I think they are somewhere on page 2 of this thread

At least you can fit a good chunk of the population into the stadium.

So Hassan is Labour’s interim leader? What’s going on with the leadership election?

It's set to take place the second week of November in a closed party caucus vote, where the top two will then be sent to the national membership. Hassan has stated she wants to stand to lead the party.

Who else has declared?

Who else has declared?

Maggie Hassan (Interim Leader, Ward 17 Boston)
John Larson (former Minister of Finance, Hartford East-Downtown)
Andy Filmore (Halifax)
Joe Kennedy III (Deputy Labour Leader, Southampton)

Hmmm, Joe Kennedy III sounds the favourite to me?

Could be. The party membership is still really high so round two will have a lot of voters. Hassan is widely expected to get a majority in the party House of Commons caucus, so it's a race for second to go to the general party vote

Obligatory meme about him (sorry not sorry)

 

[Bucky]

I miss Jeb... uh... John's beard

 

[True Grit]

Joe Kennedy III (Deputy Labour Leader, Southampton)

I’d want him to win regardless, but it’d be kind of fun having an aunt and a nephew leading separate major parties.

That would lead to some awkward family reunions.

 

[CosmicAsh]

Keep in mind Patrick Kennedy is the Minster of Science! So it's not ASB to suggest the Kennedy family could control three major parties in New England.

...I wonder what the conspiracy theories on that are like

Is Ciciline not running? I was hoping he was

Nope. The outgoing government is obviously not all that popular so having two former ministers doesn't make good political sense. Larson is a lot more popular with the limited caucus that still supports the former government's policies.

@Kanan Who have been some of the greatest Prime Ministers New England never had?
