[OFFICIAL] Impeaching the Japanese President
Geno Garon
The new law asking for President Sugawara Michizane to step down.
Ladies and Gentlemen of eJapan, we knew this day would arrive.
Although President Michizane has not yet "abused" his office any more than any other President, Congress is exceptionally uneasy at his admitted progress, that is, to repeat his last tenure's actions of trolling the nation, stealing what he can, and generally causing havoc. It is with this in mind that we begin the impeachment proposal against our elected President; not out of punishment, but protection.
President Sugawara, in his latest batch of "exp proposals" asked to change the citizen message to "Please don't impeach me. I love you guys. 4 XP proposals/day!!!" I say it is a bit underhanded to try and bribe congressmen with additional experience in order to keep your office. It is the job of congress to represent the people of this nation and their interests, and ignoring such to grow fat on additional experience is the closest this game gets to political corruption without diving into the national pocket.
Some would say "Sugawara was elected by the majority of voters. The people's will is for him to be da prez!" Unfortunately, this is not true on two counts. 1: Sugawara did not receive the majority of votes, only a plurality. Had the votes of the third, fourth, and fifth candidates gone to Danyeo AS THEIR AVATARS DEMANDED, Danyeo would have easily won. On top of this, questionable voting numbers, detected multifarms, and predictable track records for those who supported Sugawara suggest a strong amount of electoral foul play.
Add all this together, and it becomes clear that it is Congress's responsibility to protect the will and interests of the people with this impeachment. I have asked before for opinions on President Sugawara, and the only opinions presented were entirely negative. That being the case, I have begun a measure to carry out the people's will, and I expect with full confidence that a majority of the representatives of our people will concur. May Dio and the Emperor help us all.

The Imperial Family, on behalf of the Emperor, support this measure. Our country needs to move forward, and this is the correct path for our people to take.
So, as you just admitted, even tho the congress has been extremely hostile to Sugawara, he still went out of his way to give as much free xp as possible to all the congressmen. Clearly a generous and selfless individual.
Meanwhile, impeaching Sugawara means giving power to Danyeo, the man who led the most disastrous military campaign in all of eJapan's history, also known as the failed South Korean war.
gg
I'll never forget Kyushu battle and your retreat after we won that battle.
So.... Who cares?
Bribing congress for xp? Xp ain't worth the corruption anymore.
Why is this being advertised in New Zealand?
Ya seriously... Y did you post this ad in New Zealand lol?
Post this ad only when you "ACTUALLY" impeach your president, then i might be more interested. But im not rly interested in your "accusations"
@kiwis
relax, you are not special... he advertise in entire the eWorld...
@chopp also true
Only Metic's avatar actually said that though...
I do support impeachment after what Sugawara did last time he was President. Just saying that it's not as clear-cut as this article makes it sound.
Instead of running three blockers and one official candidate, maybe we could actually find two or more trustworthy candidates who are willing to run in a real election. Otherwise trolls like Sugawara can continue to claim they are promoting democracy. Just a thought...
Surprising move, interesting to see if the Diet holds its own this time.
Sugawara would have never been able to run if we ran one official candidate and FOUR blockers.
If the top 5 party endorses 5 different candidates then there is no way any other outsider can run.
Damn,I really enjoy reading eJapanese press :-]]]] ...blockers in presidential elections...Everyone rejoice 😉
Silent leges inter arma.
"Only Metic's avatar actually said that though..."
@Sophia: Later in the day a second PP had a "Vote for Danyeo" avatar, forget which one it was, but that's the way it looked when I went to the polls.
Also, to all those complaining about the ads, I didn't pay for them, and I don't know who's putting them up. Sorry guys.
~ Geno Garon
Also, Lejina, you can't compare leading a failed war with stealing government orgs and money. That's just not right.
Sophia needs to learn the game mechanics hurrr durrr, he didn't win by two clickers get a clue, the nation is one of the lowest active points in its history. Check all the previous elections voting turn outs then check ours and tell me if you think even 50% of the votes sugawara garnered were legit.
AM I still a minister?
@Yonsil better ask Danyeo. Unless the next 7 congressmen ALL vote NO on the impeachment, there's little chance it won't pass.
This is absolutely the right thing to do.
Oh shit. Your logo. It's Orange. Nice.
"Sugawara did not receive the majority of votes, only a plurality. Had the votes of the third, fourth, and fifth candidates gone to Danyeo AS THEIR AVATARS DEMANDED, Danyeo would have easily won."
Not that first time electoral gamesmanship such as this has resulted in a less-than-50% candidate winning CP. Check the February '09 results, for example.
As for the usual claims of "he multied," who knows. This would not be the first time an eJapanese CP candidate benefited from them. I always condemned them, but then again I was never the likely biggest benefactor of their use, given that my supporters were never so gung-ho "win-at-all-costs" in this game as other, uh, "gaming groups."
Sophia is right--a good field of decent candidates is better than the "unity" candidate system that sometimes plagues the "Brolliance" nations. Keeps average players more interested, too.
Lastly, don't forget that all those votes for other candidates would not necessarily have gone to Danyeo. They are some lulzy types who specifically vote for whoever's avatar says "DO NOT VOTE FOR ME" or things like that. Democracy is messy. Not being a fan of the "Phoenix Party," I don't oppose the impeachment, but why don't we put up some more concrete grievances besides "trolling the nation"--we could have impeached Oraizan, Dokomo and Crawling Chaos for the same reason--before we impeach...?
wow, sugawara being impeach???
Oh Kita. Even I'M sick of you constantly posting about FoH like they matter anymore. Your implication that FoH (and yes that IS what you were saying) multied to win elections is even less foundationally grounded than me saying people who support Sugawara are connected to multifarms, and are therefore responsible for some of his votes.
As for contesting a candidate who was elected by plurality, DUH, READ THE WHOLE THING. I am not contesting simply that he didn't get majority, therefore he is to be impeached; that line of reasoning would carry down the chain to Danyeo, now wouldn't it? I was addressing the compound issue of what was discussed above (obvious multivote trail) and a botched attempt at blocking a candidate who has attacked Japan's very livelihood by stealing from it, thereby losing votes to people who cannot read, or simply vote party lines. None of those other candidates were SERIOUSLY running.
Third, your remark about "unity candidates" is dodgy at best. A multitude of candidates only truly works when every candidate is unique. Overlap between candidates causes them to split voters between themselves, thus rendering someone with less public support on the issues themselves to be voted in. RL American politics has seen this happen, which is why the populace polarized into essentially two main parties. You'd rather have the one who is close as opposed to the one who is way off.
Please Kita, do try to think rationally before you post again.

Geno, even I'M sick of you constantly posting against Kita Ikki.
As far as I know, Sugawara has no access to the country's treasury. So, why are you afraid? I'm not defending him, impeach him, if you like. But don't try to rationalise your actions 🙂.
VOTED!!!!

Hilariously, KITA's party is the one doing the "win at all costs" tactics and failing. Attempting to block Sug from Presidential Elections is exactly that. The fact that you weren't able to accomplish it because of Shimiken just makes it hilarious.
Posting in epic article.
DPJ till DIE \o/
ini sinetron?
cuih!
kurang rame cuk
Geno is just pissed that he still hasnt managed to become President while a person like Suga, who has been and probasbly still is a dick has become President for a second time.
So much activity in this comment section.
entertaining stuff ...
*applause*
My final act as President: Deliver on my campaign promise. I have launched an attack into Jeju. The Emperor Protects
Irimi, learn to read English properly, please. I didn't say he HAS access, I said he HAD it before and he stole it. If you're tired of me posting against Sugawara, then maybe you're tired of him being an asshat too, hmm?
@Origineel.NL That is true, also, go die in a fire.
That's a little harsh, what did i do ?
@Origineel.NL J/K man, you know I less than three you. No homo.
Burn and die, all I care.
It seems Kita has nothing new to say. Same old stuff; he just doesn't get the fact that the time changes and what he is saying is nolonger relevant.
walau raga kita terpisah jauh,namum hatiku kan selalu dekat..
aishiteruu!
