My platform for this site would be to help the community graduate by being respectful, knowledgeable, interesting and fun. There are already many great contributors here, and I would simply love to have the opportunity to help this site!

1. I really, really like politics, but I don't have any affiliation. I am not right leaning or left leaning... I am very curious about it, and about how the world works from that point of view. I am a rational, scientifically-oriented person and I tend to have strong opinions, weakly held.

I will bring an open and curious attitude to the site.

2. I am an elected moderator on Skeptics, so I have valuable experience to help a community build itself from beta to graduation - especially on a subjective topic like politics.

I can help to keep in check the various pitfalls a subjective site can fall into: arguing, hostility, etc.

3. I am also a high rep users in the sites where I participate (26k on skeptics, 11k on stackoverflow, 5k on physics).

While I am a noob now, I do intend to earn a high rep position anyways.

To the community that knows me from Skeptics: this site is different from skeptics, and I will not badger people with requests for references nor I do intend being very hands on like I am on skeptics. Different sites have different needs. It will be up to us to decide what standards we want, and I will stand for them.
