Hi, Will here,
For the past year since GTA V came out we have been listening to hilarious radio commercials promoting Sue Murry and Jock Cranley as potential governors of San Andreas. Both provide equally amusing content, however it only seems right that one should be elected. Obviously this is a world away from usual NODO activity but at the same time politics should involve us all. I think Rockstar should in a future update allow SC members to vote in a San Andreas election for governor - as SA is technically leaderless atm. I'm a big fan of Jock personally and his take on politics would be a great addition to GTA Online. Anyone else think that this could be a good idea? IMO WCTR and BC Radio are a little boring once you have listened to the respective candidates several times.
I have added a poll for us NODO members to vote - let's see whether we are arch-liberal or arch-conservative. "Moderate" does not exist here!
**THIS POLL ENDS ON THE 13TH SEPTEMBER AT MIDNIGHT**

Don't force us with your idea ! You need to be neutral But maybe for the people that don't know the names say what they stand for and which commercial is theirs, which channels they are on, what they want to change etc ?

Good idea man. Love how you made the vote secret.
My opinion of the candidates is as follows... Sue is a self-righteous shrew and an idiotic feminist. Her ideas about the world are mostly wrong. She is caricature of a modern liberal (intentionally, much like Jock is a caricatured conservative). She is a terrible candidate. BUT... Jock is a complete nujob, absolutely unfit to lead anyone. He is mysoginistic, hateful, xenophobic and has no idea what it means to be a politician.
So I'm gonna opt for the lesser evil here and vote for Sue Murry. San Andreas is a crazy state we live in, and even though Sue ain't gonna go easy on us, I believe we have to make a responsible decision here. But wait, Jock could make it easier for us to organize races in the streets... Hmm, I wonder. What administration is going to be more prone to hand out permission to close the streets for LSGP practice. The one lead by a strict teacher or the one lead by an adrenaline junkie? ... thank God I didn't cast the vote yet.
If you let Social Club members vote, which I think would be awesome, I don't think Sue would stand a chance.

It would be quite cool to see a mission added for lester probably where you have to break in to a datacenter and change who will win the elections, and you actually get to choose who wins which will have it's consequences for the rest of the dlc.

Don't force us with your idea ! You need to be neutral But maybe for the people that don't know the names say what they stand for and which commercial is theirs, which channels they are on, what they want to change etc ? ok. I can give you a balanced account of each of them. Sue Murry is a former schoolteacher in SA who regards herself as from a middle class family who worked hard in life. She married a very wealthy businessman, from whom she is now divorced. In court, she stood up for herself and took her fair share of his wealth (about 80%) and has now pledged herself to a higher cause - public office. She believes that of the many problems SA faces the debt ceiling and the oil cartels are among the most urgent. A list of her policies is below and she is found on the Fernando Show on West Coast Talk Radio. *credit to the GTA Wiki for the list below* Raise income tax on the wealthiest to 82.5 percent including myself. Impose a maximum wage on bankers and CEOs, including my ex-husband. Ban plastic water bottles, shopping bags, disposable diapers, non-recycable prophylactics and take out containers. Reach out to liberal celebrities to get them involved in politics and / or swinging parties. Children are our future and half of them are in prison. Let's close the prisons for good. Ban the sale of gasoline and the use of gasoline-powered cars. Criminalize all firearms and replace knives with sporks. Make every workplace an equal playing field - no bosses. Let the group decide. Stop single women from being excluded from car key parties. Replace all toilets with composting commodes. Ban public prayer and military recruitment propaganda. Free all nonviolent offenders from prison, except white collar criminals. Make the sale and use of tobacco a criminal offence. Her opponent in the gubernatorial elections is Jock Cranley, a former Vinewood stuntman and actor. Born in Sandy Shores, he killed his wife on Mount Chiliad before his career started but was acquitted on a lack of evidence (her ghost is still found today between 00:00 and 01:00). After a successful career in Vinewood Jock has turned to politics. His core belief is that in SA "We've cared about people for far too long". He repeatedly states that he is giving the citizens of SA the finger, telling them instead to help themselves. He owns up to his lack of intelligence - saying that he cannot understand economic policy at all and that he needs to reduce things to a really basic level. He is the polar opposite to Sue - he advocates cutting taxes on healthcare and water expenditure for "people who don't deserve it" when Sue believes that the one percent will look after the rest of us - as they should. More information can be found on Jock's website - but his most extreme policies are revealed on Bobby June's talk show Bless Your Heart on BC Radio. Whilst on air, he condemns the war on terror, instead suggesting that the USA should invade France or even the UK as all bad guys in films are British! He keeps his word and pledges to create an invasion force to invade Europe in the hope that it will be a war the USA can win (like WW2). *also from GTA Wiki* Jock Cranley is... pro Constitution Apart from the separation of church and state bit. pro family values Now I believe masturbation is adultery. pro life Now I use my acting skills in politics. pro freedom of speech So long as you're not talking shit about America. Jock Cranley also refers to himself in the third person a lot. DO GIVE JOCK AND SUE A LISTEN ON THE FERNANDO SHOW/BLESS YOUR HEART AND CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITES IN-GAME. Then when you have made up your mind you can vote!

Don't forget that Sue wants to ban all gasoline burning cars by 2015 so we would have to use the Voltic, Surge and Dilletante for racing!

Sue Murry: Ban the sale of gasoline and the use of gasoline-powered cars. I think this basically seals the deal for all nodo's, doesn't matter how bad jock is, we can't vote for this.

The bit where he says "At least you know I'm a dick" cracks me up every time. Also love the smooth "This message paid for by Jock Cranley for governor."

one thing for sure, idk what Ron will think when the one of the possible next governor of SA, wants to invest in public radio, and over all, our garages of indestructibility, (unless .., people mess with bytes we walk on), no way could sue take our vehicles, despite the easiness it be to compare each others with the silent killers that people hardly see coming.., either ways like "DjCuZzJr Sod both of them. Vote Broughy for governor. " said, if possible id vote for Nonchalance, ..,vote for a.Broughy for governor.., if not idc much, who is elected, one thing for sure, if sue goes up, we could all easily outrun her, and talk her down later.., (and i fear jock is to much of a dom, and we all should know how that ended)
