Hi all, if you are unaware I'm running for the office of CP in the UK. I have published a general statement, my military plans and now I'm going to publish my economic policy and cabinet.
Loans
If I am CP I will issue training ground loans, so players can make the most of upgrading their training grounds when the next admin's offer on these come round. I will also issue training contract loans so people can save money on training by taking the 90% off training contract.
I will also make available Q1 house loans. These will help players that can't afford a Q1 house get one. As you will be aware if you read my newspaper players can earn 63.5 CC extra per week just by having a Q1 house!
Newspaper loans will be available for players that can't afford to start a newspaper. Writing and commenting in the media is a key aspect to improving your activity and knowledge. These loans will help take the UK forward into a more active future.
Tax Policy
The UK is in a very privileged position, we have both a 100% bonus on weapons and food. As a result we have economic tourists that have chosen to bring their companies into this country by changing their citizenships. We also have people that take up work in the UK as we have one of the highest paying job markets in the world.
This is a great opportunity to make these bonuses work for the UK and power investment into the UK citizen base. I intend to offer two new loans as well as expand the offering of the current training based ones. Before WayneKerr reduced the work tax to generate attention, the work tax was at 4% (he reduced it to 1% and congress recently increased it to 3
We have a great asset - 100% bonuses. We can't let the opportunity to invest in our future as a nation go to waste. While we can drive towards a more powerful future; let's do so. Some people will not like this and complain that the change is adversely effecting them, well I have 53 companies so I will be paying a significant amount more than most. I'm happy to do this though as I love the UK and I'm happy to contribute to a stronger future. Before people say well just donate more money to the treasury. No, we are all in this game together, we should all invest in our nations' success together.
I'm not saying we will bring in anything like Serbia. But 25,000-30,000 would be very healthy.
For reference other nations with 100% bonuses on weapons make the most of them by investing in there future. Serbia (5
Cabinet
Fataliix has been in the MoFA this month and has done a great job so I see no need to remove him just because he is running for CP against me.
Deputy: Mo Kushla joins a very experienced team as deputy.
Paul Tyndale is a very active player and he shares much of my vision, I had no doubt when selecting such a capable player for cabinet. WookieO joins Paul as my second MoD, I've worked with WookieO before in cabinet (multiple times if I remember correctly) he is a top character and his ability to be a strong cabinet member is undeniable.
Deputy: Royal Navy heavy weight and experienced military man Neil Lewis will be assisting the smooth running of this Ministry. Alexander Atem will also assist in keeping articles updated and other MoD bizz, he clearly has desire to grow in this field and he is not phased by criticism.
Aaron Mark Daniels remains in the MoHA seat. I like his compilation articles, hopefully he will continue these. He will be given the specific target of entertainment. Mad Pauly steps into the ring as my second MoHA, some of you will have read his articles; he writes informative pieces and this is why I wanted him in the MoHA. He will focus on the education/information side of the MoHA.
Jny123 has stepped up to be MoF. Jny123 is a player I would trust with my own personal currency which was the key decider for me of who to appoint MoF. This role is very important as it involves handing out passwords to orgs/changing passwords and investing currency and distributing currency to Ministries.
Lastly and byno all means least; the Ministry of Canned Goods. I have appointed Snugglepussington control of this Ministry. As leader of the Real Spammicans he has a good deal of experience in this field. I hope he can continue in the legacy of the great Horice providing spam, tuna and corned-beef-hash. I have tasked him with the tricky ask of getting Scots to eat at least 1 fruit or vegetable a day (tinned is surely the only way possible). With his help we can surely aid the Scottish population and drive towards a better future.

Before WayneKerr reduced the work tax to generate attention, the work tax was at 4% (he reduced it to 1% and congress recently increased it to 3
😵. At 4% the UK was bringing in 20,000 CC a day. Currently the UK is bringing in 10,000 CC a day. I intend to raise the work tax (congress willing) to 5%. I will then plough that money collected into investing in the future generation of players. Q1 house loans, newspaper loans and CO on Sunday afternoons will be available to all and will hopefully all add to player retention (along with military action).

😵, USA (8
😵, Romania (5
😵, while Poland has a 4% rate. There is a debate to be had on whether 5% is a little to much but returning to 4% is a must for me. Quite a ballsy move saying I will increase taxes before an election - yes. But I am a man of my word and I will invest in a stronger UK and it is near impossible to make meaningful investments without the resources to do it.

MoFA:
Fataliix has been in the MoFA this month and has done a great job so I see no need to remove him just because he is running for CP against me.
🙂Ser Fartsalot is my second MoFA, again staying on from this month. His wealth of knowledge and connections can be matched by few.
Deputy: Mo Kushla joins a very experienced team as deputy.

the work tax was at 4% (he reduced it to 1% and congress recently increased it to 3😵. At 4% the UK was bringing in 20,000 CC a day. Currently the UK is bringing in 10,000 CC a day. I intend to raise the work tax (congress willing) to 5%
so voting for you will cost the British Tax payer more money each day? the government NEVER give anything back to US citizens why the hell should we keep on paying taxes for NOTHING >
Does the Blue in your name stand for Tory ?
A vote for you will cost us more money then ?
"Does the Blue in your name stand for Tory ?"
Suggest you bother to read people's profiles first ..
.. it's worse than a Tory; he's a Chelsea supporter 😉
I know what it stands for Neil ! I think both comes hand in hand now anyway !
1.) Yes.
2.) Why would the UK give anything to US citizens? This s the UK... 😛
2.cont.) I will support the UK citizens if I am elected CP, from this article and my previous one I show I have clear plans for a way forward. Has any opposition shown such detail?
3.) lol no.
4.) Yes.
you could have wrote the questions then your answers
so a vote for you will cost us more money, this is an attack on your policy not personal your a good guy 🙂
'you could have wrote the questions then your answers'
Sorry, I could have yes.
'so a vote for you will cost us more money, this is an attack on your policy not personal your a good guy'
It will cost us all a few quid more. But I think a government that is going to spend on its people can justify this under the present circumstances. It looks like most, if not all of what Wayne used is gone. I'm not advocating having high taxes to stack up money so someone can spend/steal it all over night. I've advocating using money in an ongoing way to support player engagement and hopefully slow the dying player base in the UK.
It looks like most, if not all of what Wayne used is gone.
so can you confirm Wayne stole these funds? i know a very % may have been used for bizarre combat orders
thanks for your swift replies
In all honesty no ones really knows. As far as I'm aware Wayne hasn't responded to questions from Huey or anyone else asking for specifics on where the money went. I think it is reasonable after this length of time to think; in the absence of any concrete information to the contrary, that he has pocketed at last /some/ of that money.

Also Ser Fartsalot
has anyone found out what waynes done with the million Ser Farts put him into that postion
adastros put wayne in dictatorship
who funded it ?
who funded the revolution is regardlses, serf funded it to make chaz the dictator
its important as they were on the same side and lead the funds to go missing
well I have 53 companies so I will be paying a significant amount more than most. I'm happy to do this though as I love the UK and I'm happy to contribute to a stronger future. Before people say well just donate more money to the treasury. No, we are all in this game together, we should all invest in our nations' success together.
Thats nice for you but do you use all your income to supply British fighters Weapons each day
53 companies is nothing.
that was a quote from max i have 5/6 times that amount
As an outsider with lots of Q7 weapons factories, I personally wouldn't move to a country with 5% tax just for a small increase in production.. just a thought. 🙂
He can decide whatever taxes he wants, whether we let it through is another thing entirely 😉.
sexy moha team
I GRACIOUSLY AM READY meowzers
Great looking cabinet there! o7
Good cabinet members.All the best Max on elections.o7
Whoopee!!!
Let's build up the treasury so someone can steal it!!!
Psst your reading glasses are resting on top of your head. Throw them on then give the article another read before commenting...
Good luck o7
Another fine MoD selection.
Alright! Whoot whoot!
Not too shabby!
I like your ideas, they may or may not work, but at least you've got some.
oh look! someone in cabinet who unfriend me coz I stole his BH. 😛
congress decides tax not the CP
I am aware of that: 'congress recently increased it to 3%' and 'I intend to raise the work tax (congress willing) to 5%'.
If I am elected I will propose my plan to congress and will show them what we are spending and what we are getting from current tax revenues, I will put this case to them and they will decide. The amount of money I intend to invest in the future of the nation is currently more than we are collecting in taxes, that is why I am including this in my economic policy.
The problem is that raising taxes will not necessarily increase revenue. We will become a less hospitable business market and the money will move elsewhere. I think we should keep our taxes where they are for now, low enough to not kill business players, and high enough to get some change for the UK.
