[GBDP] My PP Manifesto!

Day 1,967, 12:18 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Fill Werrell

Alright guys? So, I’m running for PP of the GBDP for the April/May term and I’m guessing that you may want a sneak peek of what I've got in store for the party if I’m elected on the 15th. Well, forget that, because I’m going to give you a whole manifesto! Yes, the article which is written an indefinite amount of times shortly before any election for any position. But then again, that’s the beautiful thing about manifesto articles. They are unique every single time (unique isn’t always a good thing in some cases 😛) and can quite often be the source of much laughter or even serious political discussion. Anyway, time for me to stop blabbering on and actually get some work done, so here’s a little info about me.



About Me!
In my five months playing eRepublik (I’m telling you now it DOES NOT feel like five months already, I guess time flies when you’re having fun), I’ve managed to do enough to compile a miniature eCV:
- Congress member x2
- GBDP vPP x1
- GBDP Spokesman x1
- MoFA Ambassador to Ireland (x1) and Germany (x1)
- The Imperial Guard 2nd Commander (x1)

I’ve been involved in the political module since 19th November 2012, the day I signed up to play this worryingly addictive strategy game. I joined the UKPP immediately having struck up a small conversation with the famous member of the eUK community, BigAnt. I was elected into congress under the UKPP in the third election that I was able to run for, in December. During this time, I also signed up to the MoFA Ambassador scheme, forming a good friendship with the eIrish CP at the time, The Psych0, and then I was moved to eGermany. In the days following Christmas, I grew tired of being in a large party where I couldn’t be heard (although the fiasco involving a certain ex-CP did contribute to my desire to move) and I decided to move to a party that was much smaller called the Great British Democratic Party. I very quickly met all of the active members and immediately began to form friendships with several players (I won’t name you all to save you from blushing 😛). In my second month with the party, I was given the post of spokesman, which involved more copy and paste than my Year 10 GCSE History Controlled Assessment and in the month after that I was given the position of vPP. Having experienced the hugely positive steps the party has taken under jny123 and CheetahCurtis’s watchful eyes, I now feel it is now my turn to step up to the plate and do my very best as those before have done.



The Manifesto!

1. For a party as small as ours, efficient recruitment is an absolute necessity. In the past week or so, we have launched ourselves above a beyond the benchmark of 30 members, now amassing a GBDP all-time high of 31 members. If we continue to shout on our feeds, add as many friends as possible and offer great opportunities to players young and old, we can make the GBDP a major power in eUK politics, we just have to never give up!

2. One of our major views as a party for the entirety of my membership has been to reduce rivalry between parties. Political rivalry is a major issue in the eUK community and more must be done to bridge the gap between each political community.

3. I believe party meetings to be beneficial on an enormous scale to any party, not just our own. However, I don’t believe these discussions should only be inter-party. As well as having individual party chats, I feel that it would be mutually beneficial for all parties to consider having a (weekly or every 10 days) chat that would involve the PP and vPP from each eUK party, a move which would certainly help to bridge the gap between each community.

4. It is of the utmost importance to give younger players a chance to thrive in the political community and the best way of doing this is by giving them a position in a political party. I fully support this idea and I will be implementing it if I am elected on the 15th of this month.



There you go then, my manifesto. I would be a pleasure to lead this brilliant party and I hope you see me as the ideal candidate for the Party President of the GBDP. Please vote for me on the 15th April or I will be forced to let this man have his way with you:

Thanks for reading and have a great time on eRepublik!
