[Swifty] Here I am
Swifty
I am here to announce that I am running for presidency. I talked with buzzy and it seems that he don't really want to be the president again and he need some time to relax after two months of hard work. I know that being president is very much time consuming and we can't afford to have someone that won't be able to spend the time that is needed for this role.
The first days
Little about myself in RL and in the game as most of the new citizens don't know me. I am 24 years old living in Israel, I am student of economics and accounting in Ben Gurion university. This is not my first account and I started as Michagan. When I joined I didn't saw Israel so I joined to USA. After few days I moved to UK, as my friend Sucko who invited me to the game was there. In that time I also opened a discussion in gamers forum. Many people started to sign in like hufflepuff, yotamnor, matan galin, idanf and many others that are not playing any more. Few days later we opened our first TJC (The Jewish Community) party in UK.
Turkey
Week after that we decided to move to Turkey and to build ourselves there until we will be able to regain our country. In that time we were already more than 30 in the party. Hufflepuff moved to turkey and opened the TJU (The Jewish Unity) party in Turkey and I stay behind and sent money to people to buy tickets( in those times you couldn't send items). After everyone moved to Turkey I moved too. As in the beta you couldn't make resistance wars and free the country, we decided to stay in Turkey and grow until the resistance module will be implemented. It wasn't easy as the Turks done everything they can to hurt us. We kept growing and we opened many companies thanks to the donation from the community. Hufflepuff and me were in charge of running those companies.
Later in one of the presidential elections the winner onrche was banned for using multi accounts and the second place hufflepuff declared as the new president of Turkey. She appointed me to be her vice president. Maybe it's hard to believe, but in that time she was really nice and serious person and not the annoying troll from the last months before the ban. In the beta I also was two times Mayor of Haifa and two times congressman.
Death and resurrection
Few days before V1 came out my account got banned, till this day I don't really know why. It might be something about the temporary site of V1. Before V1 came out they used a temporary site to try it and fix the bugs. Only few people got permission to login and try it. I found this site and logged in few times, this could be it but I am not sure. Anyway I never got any answer why I got banned and now it say "Citizen permanently suspended for not respecting the 1st eRepublik Citizen Law." What is this law you are asking? First eRepublik Citizen Law: All citizens are born free and equal in dignity and rights. So I don't know what I did wrong 😕
After V1 was out my friend Swifty didn't like all the changes and decided to quit the game. He gave me his account and I am paying with it since then.
Usa
I am jumping few months forward. After our Party TJU was taken over by Turks I moved with many other party member to USA and we made a new party. I don't really remember how long I was there, but it wasn't too long. After few times of failing to win in a resistance war, we won in the North District thanks to big help from our friends\allies. After that I moved to Israel.
Israel
Yotamnor was from the first people that came to Israel and he opened the IWP (Israeli Workers Party). We managed to gather a great team of veteran players with sadeh in the head. In the first Congressional election we got 6 out of 10 congressman, Collinar, yotamnor, Yoel ben Shalom, Denisius, Moshe Dayan and me were elected. In overall I was elected 5 times as congressman in Israel. I wasn't elected more because I was fighting for our allies first in Romania and later In USA. In those wars I was two times battle hero.
I did different roles as Minister of Labor and Social Services, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Education. I also started programs like National health program and Education Program. For conclusion lets sum it up. 5 times Congressman, 2 times Congressman in the beta, 2 Times Mayor of Haifa, 2 times Battle Hero and one time Vice President of Turkey 😃
.
I Don't like to talk much, I prefer to do. Most of my work I am doing quietly in the background and I don't care much who get the credit for it. As long as it's helping to Israel I am happy. My first priority is always Israel, I was here for very long time and I planing to stay here until my eDeath.
Thank you for reading,
Swifty

Very intresting swifty!
😃
We All Voting For Swifty! 😃
good luck! You are sertainly a very credible candidate! It's a shame you didn't put yourself forward for IWP candidature when we had ou selection process - you would have been a strong contender!
Even if you do not win this election (which as you are not running under IWP banner, I hope you don't win - sorry! 🙂 ) - I hope you and your party can work in close co-operation with IWP. Maybe in future elections we can find a common candidate we can support... I certianly hope so.

First thank you for your kind words.
I left IWP because I felt that it lost it's way and it's hardcore, the people who made it so successful. I felt that the party became full of opportunists that just using the size and the reputation of the party to get them selves elected.
I hope that it won't happened to INM.
That's useful to hear. You won't be suprised to hear that I disagree, and believe IWP has not lost its way. We are going through a difficult transition but IWP will come out of it a stronger party with a more cohesive sense of identity.
This leads me to an interetsing question. I know that the party is far right and libertarian. But I've not seen anyhing else about what the party stands for. It would be vey useful to hear more about how INM will be different from the current set parties available, and what you might do differently from what your opponents are proposing.
I also have one final lingering concern. I recall that Buzzy state😛 "I can also say with certainty that if I am not elected in this race, I will leave [the game]." I would like to ask this - will Buzzy now stay no matter what the outcome of the election (I sure hope he will); or would he stay only if you are elected?.
Thanks,
Franz Kafka
Bad timing, seeing as how this came out after the debate transcripts were presented.
a great candidate, and i also feel the same for iwp, it changed, very much. :/
Even though you named me a "troll" I still think you are the most deserved candidate to be the President . You, unlike the others, preferred to stay anonymous, instead of being an eIsraeli star, when in fact you are one of the reasons for eIsrael existence.
Your huge contribution to the community can't be measured 🙂
Good luck in getting elected 🙂
///Hufflepuff
I tried to become an eIsraeli star?
Best of luck Swifty. If you win, I am sure you will do a wonderful job.
CJ.... honestly... your contribution to eIsrael can't be compared to Micha's enormous contribution..
He IS the reason for eIsrael existence.
@Hufflepuff - Swifty's contribution has been outstanding, and total respect to him. But Presidential elections are not just about looking back to past achievements. It's also about looking forward and considering who has the most credible vision for how we progress going forward. Wihout disrespecting Swifty, I am yet to see him express such a vision, whereas CJ Will Win expressed quite a convincing one in the Presidential debate.

I saw erussian elections, their candidate for presidency (who later have been elected) gave voters some gold (he bought for real money) and q5 guns. It worked well (like it did always in politics), i like it, give me q5 house and you have my voice. 🙂
