We ally with foreign powers based on shared values such as the Freedom to choose what is best for each individual sentient, so long as that choice does not impinge on the right of their neighbors to have the same choice. This is the most fundamental Freedom.
As for the UP specifically: I know Angus 'Squiddy' MacDonald, the new military liaison officer in the UP office. He and I went to school together and dated briefly. I don't usually date Scots or Molluskoids (let alone Scottish Molluskoids) but I was a bit curious back then and he looked so cute in that slimy blazer, kilt and school-tie.
I'm sure I'll have a great working relationship with him.

The best way to reject the ballot Tamper is to get elected then reject the result. Or simply remain leader then change the rules.

Not at all, as long as your butt is not already big

I love cowbells. I make all my underlings who ask annoying questions and waste my valuable time wear one round their necks. Then when I hear them coming to my office I conveniently fly out the window.

Under my leadership, the LMB will stand strong with the UP and aid it in any way we can against those threats. It's my belief that if we don't take a stronger stand against the Khanate and the Oval's agressive incursions, there may be no UP, and indeed no Legion World, left to defend.

Cowbell? Hell YEAH! I've learned how to play and intend to release an all-cowbell music album this Spring!

As I implied in the 'cake or pie' question earlier, I'm a BIG fan of cheesecake! I think making it the official dessert of Legion World would help bring the two sides together and end their hurtful war of words!

1. What is your position on waffles?
2. What is your position on waffling?
1. Mayavale prefers pancakes.
2. Might I humbly suggest that voters be wary of media commentators who utilize such loaded terms as "waffling" and try to stigmatize candidates by tossing them around? For example, one might have spent one lifetime in pursuit of the murder and destruction of all that is wholesome and innocent in the universe, and then spent one's next lifetime promoting the well-being of all sentients. To some, this may seem like a lack of commitment to a cause or ability to keep goals in focus. But I submit that such a change may simply be a healthy attempt to keep the karmic scales in balance, and voters should celebrate mutability rather than condemning it.

Mayavale judges not a man by his power, but by his character. I would have to know said recruit and his history throughout the cycles of birth and rebirth before answering the question.

1) Cake or pie?

5) Which of the currently available avatar do you think I should use next?
1. Mayavale prefers cake. Particularly pancakes.
2. Once the great teacher Molkata was hungry for pancakes. He asked his student Holka to make him some. After said pancakes were served to Molkata, he placed them on the head of a bunny. Holka, confused, asked him why he did this. Molkata replied that there is much in the universe that does not admit of explanation, but we should always be willing to take amusement in the randomness of it all.
Though Mayavale would generally prefer eating pancakes to placing them on the head of bunnies.
3. Mayavale has a theory about Miss Spears. In my time as a traveler along many spiritual paths, I have seen some who have been severely hampered in their quest by improper use of chemical aids. While the wheeling mists, for example, can be a great help in achieving transendental enlightenment, those who attempt to inhale them without proper guidance often shows signs of erratic behavior much like that of Miss Spears. I suggest that she would be best to reject the responsibilities of family and public life, and spend the next decade in meditation under the guidance of a genuine spiritual instructor such as myself.
4. Mayavale has little opinion on this matter, though he notes that he often goes pantsless in his own intergalactic trolleycar.
5. I would suggest this avatar:

Mayavale believes the LMB should work to promote and defend the core values upon which it was founded. Co-operation with foreign powers can often be beneficial to the pursuit of this goal, but blind support for anyone can only hinder our purposes.
