Our Nation Calls, I Answer.
Xavier Griffith
My Fellow Australians, and International citizens,
Our great nation of Australia calls and I have decided to bow to the requests and once again run as Prime Minister of Australia for January 2013, with the Australian Revolutionary Party officially supporting my candidacy for the Prime Ministerial Elections.
Our nation has been successively run by administrations of well-meaning people but lack of experience, leading us to a detrimental decline. Once again, we find ourselves, at least at the present moment, wiped from the face of the new world due to bad administration decisions by Prime Ministers that have for whatever reason, moved in the wrong direction or been too scared to move in any direction at all.
Our nation is now at a massive turning point and there are issues, both internally and externally that need serious work, effort and a steady hand to lead us back to being the nation we once where and know in our hearts we can be, yet which has not been seen in a long time. It is time for our nation to once again join together, put aside our differences and work together as one people to regain that glory once again. After being asked by quite a few people, I have decided that I will rise to the task and run for Prime Minister of our great nation again, I feel it’s time for some old experience to return to the top job in running the nation, somebody whose previous terms in the role resulted in the nation for the first time putting aside party politics and agendas resulting in the nation working together as one full nation.
What you can expect from me
The older members of the community will remember my previous terms as Prime Minister, for the younger members of our nation, I will be attempting to bring unity back to the nation once again first and foremost, especially between the Senate and Executive. I will also be attempting to bring back the trust between the Government and the People that elect the Members of both Houses, which seems to have gradually slipped away. I have outlined below some of the things I will be working towards with my cabinet if you the people choose to vote for me as the next Prime Minister of our great nation.
Communication
Something seriously lacking over the past few administrations. The difference with my term will be that there will be constant communication.
Executive and Senate
I am a firm believer in both our Houses of Government and their purposes. For too long both Houses have been at loggerheads because of lack of communication instead of coming together to work for the betterment of our nation. This will change. Once again I will bring back constant communication with the Senate, wanting ideas, information, discussion and solutions suggested, all will be heard and not judged before a decision is made, but it must happen at a faster pace than has been occurring. The Senate governs itself, and I fully accept and acknowledge that, but it needs to move quickly at times, and I believe they can if given information constantly instead of every now and again.
The People
The people of our great nation deserve to be made aware of what is going on. While it has to be understood that not all information can be given out in the public arena, our people still deserve to know as accurately as possible what is happening within the Executive Government, what is being done, what may have stalled and basic reasons why. The people also deserve to have a say, and be safe knowing that they have been heard and listened to. But I expect solutions in this case, not just criticism. My door (or inbox in-game and on the forums) is always open to suggestions from the people, don’t give me problems, give me problems with suggestions on how to fix them. The solutions will honestly be taken into consideration. While I can’t guarantee I will be able to put out articles personally every week, I can assure that my cabinet will be putting out information as it comes to hand as regularly as it is available and possible. Even if it is just to advise the people were a single situation is currently sitting.
Cabinet
With our current situation, irrespective of us gaining regions with Chile or not, my cabinet will consist of strong, extremely experienced people in the roles they are in. Alongside those experienced people, will be new and young people, set with the ability to work on their own and be mentored by these experienced people. It’s time the young up and coming members of our nation learnt from the experience of the older players. Nothing is ever new in this game, everything you can think of has been done before, but at least the young will have experience to teach and mentor, hopefully a strong bond will form between the Ministers and Deputy Ministers that will hold them in good stead when the time comes for them to take up roles themselves on their own and even teach and mentor the next generation of young up and coming Australia Citizens that follow us.
Foreign Policy
Anybody that has seen my article knows where I stand on this issue. I’m Pro-CoT membership, not just MPP stack, but full membership. I know some aren’t sure, I know some don’t know what, but EDEN is dead, or dying, it’s time to realign. I have always supported the concept of a regional alliance, CoT is that regional alliance. People are free to have a say regarding it, but this is my current policy move. Regarding Chile, if any deal is actually worked out by the election I will honour that peace and work towards regaining more of our regions and further defining any Agreement reached between the current Chilean and Australian Administrations. I will work closely with our allies in advancing the return of our regions and defending our allies on every front were it is possible for us to do so. If talks fail, I will try to move forward to engage Chile in continued negotiations for the return of our regions and our support in both their wars and those of CoT.
National Policy
While Foreign Policy is going to be a huge part of any term as Prime Minister, the time also needs to be spent on improving information and resources for the new players coming into the game, getting them involved in the nation, looking at what the Game is like for THEM, from THEIR perspective. The game has changed greatly since many of us were newbies, the only way we can hope to help and improve elife for them as they start out on their journey in Australia as young Australian’s is to talk to them, listen to what difficulties they encounter and work towards putting policy into place that aids them in growing for the betterment of our nation and hopefully to retain them and keep them with us and the game. This will be done by a Department of Human Services, reaching out to new Australian players, talking, finding out and making recommendations for policy to help all new players. Some may have to be placed on hold due to the nation’s financial restraints, but all information will be looked at and possible solutions investigated.
These are just some of the areas I will be working on with my Cabinet should the people choose to vote me in as their Prime Minister for January 2013. I’m experienced, and my cabinet will be as well, we need to once again return to the concept of one people, one nation with one purpose, even if it is only for one month, to reform and rebuild.

First taken. Flame away if you wish...lol
It's actually really cool to see someone who was such a huge influence in the past run under a "revolutionary" party 😃
Best of luck XG
lol..wouldn't be the first time i've been seen a 'revolutionary' though ...lol
Uruguay NE's Chile
http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Uruguay/120953
time to get regions back mates
Good luck, I believe under XG's leadership, Australia can achieve great things!
This is what absolutely annoys me about peoples CP campaign articles.
It's full of worthless words and light on what YOU are actually going to do/what you have to offer.
I can sum your whole article up into 1 line "vote for me because im an old player" Why can't you have a short and sweet article with dot points with what you are going to do, instead of burying us with a massive TL😉R
Sorry to take this out on you XG, but enough is enough. This is directed at EVERYONE future candidate too. Tell us plainly what you are going to do without the crappy buzz words/lines and without the broad statements like "yeh im gonna increase information" or don't bother running.
Example of a buzz line: "It is time for our nation to once again join together, put aside our differences and work together as one people to regain that glory once again."
This is spouted in EVERY SINGLE CP campaign article since the beginning of this game. It's not going to happen, so the only reason you write it is so all the people reading can get a warm fuzzy feeling and say to themselves "oh ill vote this guy" It's just a slimey way of getting votes.
BE DIRECT. BE BLUNT. BE SIMPLE.
Feel free to copy the layout of my cp campaign article. I did dot points of what i was going to do and how i was going to do it. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/docterdry2-for-cp-protest-resist-alternative--2114924/1/20
Inb4 my comments above are labelled "mudslinging" or a "personal attack" by Binda33 or someone associated with her as per usual.
Good luck!
Good luck XG. You've been a good CP in the past and I look forward to seeing you in that position again.
Good luck XG
I like what I have read XG, but I somewhat agree with Dis. Though you may do it further down the line it just seems like most platforms released that doesn't really give away a lot about the campaign and what you plan to do to improve certain aspects of Government that you have outlined.
Anyway, good luck XG it will be an interesting race indeed.
Once more unto the breach!
Good luck bro o/
DD and Callumh, no offence was taken and I thank you for your comments. This was just the big outline, the individual information I bring out should be shorter. I like the dot points idea actually, but I can't go into too much detail and specifics at this point because the present situations haven't completed yet. As it draws closer to the election I will have a much better understanding of where we stand. As for people not pulling together DD, they did during my last 2 terms as PM, why shouldn't they now?
@CC: Breach? It's a damn gaping hole Buddy ... Lololol
XG FOR CP!
This has to be an end of the world joke, right?
Good luck, XG.
Good Luck XG ... looking forward to an impressive campaign
Good Luck XG ... looking forward to an impressive campaign x2
No TJ, you running for USA congress is the end of the world joke I believe ... Lol... ( why won't erep allow smiley faces, it annoying.
LOL love your work XG. Certainly hope you can provide a government with more integrity than your website.
XG for CP will bring in a glorious new era for Australia \o/
"I will try to move forward to engage Chile in continued negotiations for the return of our regions and our support in both their wars and those of CoT."
And how you think to do this? another month of begging?
I negotiate Alimilano, I don't beg, even the Indos found out I don't beg...lol
ok, I still waiting for CP candidate who ready to FIGHT for freedom and time when peacemakers will realize that CoT doesn't want us.
negotiating with eChile isn't going to work. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. We tried this months ago.
Now we are giving them a free ride. The only reason they started talking is because we were putting pressure on.
Al and DD, you mistake my meaning of Negotiating for meaning that I would only talk. Your wrong. If this rediculous deal isn't agreed upon by the Senate as it stands at the moment, I will go to Chile with a new proposal, one I believe is fair, legally tight for both parties and would be acceptable to ZA, Brazil and USA, as well as CoT and Chile included, should Chile refuse to "Negotiate" then we will fight.
Australian's should be aware though, while the older members of the community are used to being wiped and understand how long it can take, newer players don't, and NOBODY likes to lose continuously. That said, I am more than prepared for Australia to return to fighting tooth and nail, and i'm more than happy to try a few other ideas I have sitting up my little sleave, including a wonderful article containing logs that few Chileans probably know about.
"containing logs that few Chileans probably know about."
Hey you mean my logs! that somehow granted me the power to have Chile kicked out of Terra... Its funny that their leadership lie about that when we have the logs and enough to crucify their leaders....
I'm going to tell you this like a true Australian
Fuck off mate
😁^
"I'm goin ta tell ya like an ignorant bogan
Fuk orf mate"
I fixed it for you Hendaro \o/
I remember when I was XG's Minister of Information. Fun times...
Oh that is rich coming from you Louise.
I wish there was a like and dislike button on each comment... it sure would help cut out a lot of extra reading.
I am just trying to help people express themselves honestly Callumh.
True Australians i.e. ordinary decent people don't swear as a matter of course
Bogans on the other hand - well every second word seems to be
I'll agree with you on that Louise. Personally, I have always connected bogan with "aussie pride" which I cannot stand for reasons I wont state as it will only serve to bore people.
hey we agree on something \o/
it is a surface pride Callumh - loud & foul mouthed, nothing behind it.
Serious Australians - and that includes hard people are polite & softly spoken.
+1
" am just trying to help people express themselves honestly Callumh.

Fuck off mate
I'm not even born in Australia and I know that you're being ignorant to the fact of stereotyping bogans.
"I will go to Chile with a new proposal, one I believe is fair, legally tight for both parties and would be acceptable to ZA, Brazil and USA, as well as CoT and Chile included, should Chile refuse to "Negotiate" then we will fight."
Ok tables are turned - provide facts that you demanded. What is the specific deal? Stop talking out of your rear.
Important note - you should know that eUS and eBrazil have wiped their hands of the situation thanks to the attempts to scuttle the Chile and Australia Act which made Chile suspicious. DoFA had it organised to proceed on the counter the moment the first vote was passed and things were going well ..
that's until your mates had their fun in the sun.

Hendaro Reo,
not even born here yet somehow he fits right in.
In his westie shirt, wifebeater pants, bogan teeth, tat sleeves also jobstopper tats on the neck & face. Those stupid spreader things in his ear lobes.
on his way to Centerlink in his Hoon car, to show he works harder not working that actually working in a real job
but wai.......could I somehow be stereotyping bogans : (
sadly I am not
Not to be confused with that other Xavier?
St Francis Xavier?
TJ, try stopping talking out your arse please, either that, or run your little campaign to get into the eUSA Congress, and keep you nose out of our politics. You came to this topic after days of things being talked about and obviously managed to get the whole sequence out of wack.
Xavier Darkmyer?
