Well you wouldn’t expect an event like the European elections<\/a> to go buy without some big promotional democracy-related thing from me would you? Here in my local polling station the queues were…well… nonexistent. I think we were the second people to vote in the village. So I hereby predict low turnouts, and lots of election staff finishing their crosswords and Sudoku during the day. The election works on proportional representation<\/a>, which we as a country recently voted against in a referendum (doh!) so I suspect lots of people are boycotting the election because they don’t like the fairness of the system. yes that must be it…<\/p>\n

Anyway.. DEMOCRACY 3 is 50% off today<\/strong><\/span>. YES 50% off!. You can buy it from steam here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"steam\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or from my wonderful personal website **here**<\/a>, which also gets you a steam key (and I get more money! yay!)<\/span><\/strong>. Please tell everyone, tweet about it, blog about it, express your happiness for this event in interpretive jazz dance on street corners. Perhaps this is a good topic for you to write a song about, or maybe a play or some poetry? Hasn’t the whole ‘democracy 3 at 50% off story got the makings of a decent TV miniseries?<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, all retweets and pimpage is much appreciated. We poor struggling starving indies need your help. I’ll have to eat jacks cat biscuits if you don’t buy a copy, and that will make him angry. You wouldn’t like him when he is angry…<\/p>\n

For those not aware, Democracy 3<\/a> is a political strategy game where YOU yes YOU<\/strong> are the president or prime minister of a real country, and get to make decisions on tax rates, laws, government spending and so on. It’s got great reviews. There are also some let’s plays scattered over the interwebs. like this one:<\/p>\n
