[IMG]http://www.theeca.com/newsletters/g4c.jpg[/IMG]With time continuing to wind down in advance of the 2010 South Australian state elections (scheduled for March 20), candidates from the Gamers4Croydon party took time out to answer questions from [URL=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/02/gamers-4-croydon-candidates-answer-your-questions/]Kotaku Australia readers[/URL].

Participants included Kat Nicholson, who is taking on current South Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson directly, and Chris Prior, who is running for the Legislative Council.

Nicholson was asked if she thought the name of the G4C party was alienating:

[INDENT]… the name was chosen back when the G4C founder was still running around getting enough people to sign up. I don’t think it will alienate voters – we’re visibly more than just a one-policy party. Although our name might give that initial impression, our actions during the campaign will prove otherwise.

[/INDENT]Prior on the chances of a live debate with Atkinson happening:

[INDENT]Obviously, we’d love to have Mr Atkinson out from behind his media minders and be able to confront him live. Given that he’s demonstrated he wants to play dirty, and would rather demonise us than engage with us, we don’t like the chances of that happening. That doesn’t mean we won’t try our hardest though.

[/INDENT]Next, Prior was asked, if Gamers4Croydon fails, [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/01/21/atkinson-slams-opposition-party-gamers]as Atkinson predicts[/URL], would such a loss further empower Atkinson and the anti-R18+ movement?

[INDENT]He has said he expects we’ll not get more than 1% of the vote. We will, and that will haunt him. In the event that he retains his seat, it is almost certain it will be despite a (significant) swing against him, something that will put him on unsteady ground when it comes to ‘the people have spoken’ type rhetoric.

[/INDENT]Many more questions are answered by the pair [URL=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/02/gamers-4-croydon-candidates-answer-your-questions/]over at Kotaku[/URL].
