[PCP] Our Constitution

Day 1,922, 06:13 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Zaphod Beeblebrox IV


Afternoon Comrades, this is a slightly late article detailing the changes to the party constitution. This is the new amended version that has taken into account the changing face of eUK politics over the past two and a half years. Many of our core values remain intact, as these are our beliefs, and what makes us stick together.


Introduction and Home Affairs

1.1 The guiding principle of the "People's Communist Party" is equality for all citizens, regardless of status, race, gender, age, wealth or experience. This is the guiding principle in eRepublik that we support and hold true.

1.2 In support of this guiding principle we hold the following core beliefs;

1.2.1 We believe in supporting and guiding the less wealthy and powerful because the eUK can only be as strong as its weakest citizen.

1.2.2 We believe in team work because collectively we can achieve more than one individual alone.

1.2.3 Everyone should have a say in how this country is run, regardless of wage, political direction or status within the eUK.

1.2.4 We believe in putting our principles into practice, in the way we work together in our party, in the way we work together in congress and, with your help, in the way we work together with you in government.

1.3 We believe in open democracy. All political decisions and votes affecting the public should be made in the open, except in the most extreme circumstances of national security. All Ministers should be available to respond to members of the public and account for their decisions.

Together we can make the UK great

The People’s Army

2.1 The People’s Army fights against the forces of inequality and exploitation.

2.2 The People’s Army fights for the worker’s interests.

2.3 The People’s Army is a purely voluntary force drawn from members of the People’s Communist Party and communes.

2.4 The People's Army does not fight for the United Kingdom's enemies, unless against imperialism.


Stance on The Economy

3.1 The People's Communist Party believes that the rights of the individual worker and consumer supersede the right of the employer to profit and that the best way to achieve this is to maintain as much state control over the economy as is necessary, for the common good.

3.2 The best way to implement this is to ensure that interests of the workers and consumers are properly represented by the party.

3.3 We believe it is the government's duty to ensure fair trading practices and that a worker's wage should enable a high standard of living, and is also flexible enough to change with the price of consumer goods and in response to market forces.

3.4 Government regulation should prevent the problem, not just suppress it, and to that effect we will avert market failure with foresight, instead of having and then solving an economic crisis.

3.5 Every worker should have the right to a fair wage, regardless of employer.

3.6 Every citizen should have the right to buy fairly priced goods, undeterred by a monopoly in the target market.

3.7 Every company manager should not obtain huge profits to the detriment of the public or employees, as we believe that every business has a responsibility for society.

Leadership and its roles

4.1 The PCP does not believe in a single leader, but rather a spokesperson, through whom the entire experience and collected knowledge of the PCP is expressed. When one votes for the PCP CP candidate for the country, one votes for the PCP as a whole for Prime Minister.

4.2 The PCP chooses its leader through a common consensus about who should be the next leader. The PCP believes competition weakens us through division, rather than through unity.

4.3 The PCP leader is discussed and elected in the forum, and thus PCP members should make it their primary aim to join the forum as soon as possible. This is due to the constant threat of Political Take Over.

Stance on other Parties.

5.1 The PCP are willing to work with all other UK-based parties on policies that we share. We will not however, go against our ideals in order to support/gain favour with them.

5.2 We are willing to trade ideas and cooperate with other international communist parties without directly influencing their policies or elections. The UK however will always remain our first priority.


Foreign Affairs

6.1 We will not influence other countries' General Elections. We believe countries should decide upon their leader, not us. We have no right to influence the result of an election through direct or indirect attempts. The will of the people is all important. The only time we will ever go against this is if the country is at risk from a PTO.

6.2 We will make it our priority to serve the UK, but in the event that a party that we share close link to calls for help, we will strive to meet their requests when possible.


Conclusion

7.1 The People's Communist Party holds these ideas to be true and solid. We will not go against our constitution unless in times of extraordinary circumstance.



The People’s Army

The People’s Army is a PCP-run Military Unit. As well as fighting for directly under MoD orders, we promote a sense of community, comradeship and fun. It is currently led by PCP oldfag and general nice-guy Sir Botham . If you want to join please do! We are always looking for new members, PCP or not. Members that are in both the PCP and the PA can gain around 40 Q7 weapons per week (no job required), and those in the communes (ran by Steeeev) can gain approximately 65 Q7 weapons, and 3000 health per week - on top of those 40 weapons. This is clearly a great deal!



Congress Elections

I am happy to announce that we have once again agreed a deal with New Era to run 2 candidates under them this month. Jimbob will be releasing an article in the near future.

Vive la revolution,
