Politics is an area that I have always loved, and have always been a part of. The military is an amazing community, and has some of the best guys, but being without politics for me would just make the game boring. Sure, fighting with Iain Keers makes me tear my hair out, and having an arguement with a communist is like trying to teach english to a cat, but we all love it at the end of the day, and can turn round and have a laugh.

Some of my best times came as Party President of the Radical Freethinkers Alliance, when we broke records and were wildly climbing the rankings. I enjoy finding a cause and fighting for it, and being part of the comradeship of a party on a mission.

As you may or may not know, Party President elections are tommorow - when each party of the eUK elects its new leader to take it forward for a term. I am going to give an overview of each election and what to expect.



In the largest party in the eUK, there are four candidates signed up, with two being serious candidates for leader of The Unity Party. Snoddy and Juni Tan are both relatively irrelevant candidates in a race that promises to both enthral and excite.

Maddog Jones was the first of the major candidates to sign up to the race, and has since released his manifesto. It includes much of his major ideals and beliefs, and so gives the reader an indication of the way he wants TUP to go. He has in the past held such roles as a Congressman and Minister, and has led the past minor party, the British Capitalist Party. This doesn't, however, follow his socialist beliefs and will indeed need a step up if he is to take a job described by some as the "second hardest job in the eUK".

Then, there is the other major candidate, IndieKid. Another past member and, indeed, leader of another party, he was Party President of the Radical Freethinkers Alliance earlier this year. The term was not the best by any standards and ended with Indie joining TUP. Having been a past Congressman, and having had a successful military career, he has skills to go forward with. He has also released his manifesto which outlines a vision for TUP under his leadership.

This looks to be an extremely tight election at first glance, but after speaking to both candidates and talking to some members of TUP, I imagine that IndieKid will take the seat by a small margin; he seems to have slightly more credibility stored up. That said, I dont expect that to be a foregone conclusion, by any means.



Next, there is also an intense race in the UKRP! Three candidates are listed, however I do not believe that certacito is one to consider seriously; as a UKRP stalwart, he likely ran for the safety of the party initially, and to ward off any ideas. Now, the two serious candidates have shown up for the race, its time to look at it.

Daniel Thorrold is the first candidate. He has most recently served as Vice President of the eUK, and has served such posts as Minister of Home Affairs and has in the past led the now defunct party, the British Empire Party. That party follows the right wing ideals of the UKRP, and he has released his manifesto, which outlines how he intends to deal with the various aspects of the political party.

lap12345 is the opposition in this election, and boasting a range of experiences in both military and politics (including Minister of Work), it is more than ample opposition. He has served well within the UKRP, and in his manifesto he talks about similar things to Thorrold; a great comparison could be made through these articles.

Personally, I believe Daniel Thorrold will have just enough in way of name and experience to pull a victory out of the hat. Coupled with the fact he is running alongside Dishmcds, he seems to have put together a very convincing case to become president of the UKRP. I wont rule lap out now, but he'll have alot of work to do to get ahead of Daniel.



The PCP always decide internally who their PP is, and then only that candidate will run ingame. The decided president is Sir Scott Williamson, which means that the candidacy of Stanley Black is unofficial.

It is easy to observe that this election is almost certainly going to go to the official candidacy of SSW.



The RFA has probably the most pivotal election in tommorows set. They have two serious candidates; one who intends to take the party forward together and try to remake it into the days gone by of power and prosperity, and then one who intends to reshape it completely, for good.

temujin94 is the former, and has released his manifesto, is running on small political and military experience, but having been around and working for a while now - he knows how to work a party inside out, and wants this big break. He is suplemented by the support of the RFA and its members, and is running alongside AltmerVampire, past RFA leader and Minister of Foreign Affairs, to try and unify the RFA as the RFA, to go forwards. He intends to preserve the party as it is; in stark contrast to his opponent.

Goku Jones is that opposition. In his manifesto, he outlines how he wants to change and remodel the party into a totally different entity, and to re-establish ideas such as direct democracy. He has served such roles as RFA PP and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the past, and undoubtedly has ability. I can reveal to you now that Goku intends to create a party based on the eUK forum section Rapture, which was formed as a forum outside of the usual forum jurisdiction - described by Goku as a "freedom of speech forum". An interesting, but possibly dangerous, idea.

This election is indeed one that will be hotly contested; after all, the future of the RFA is gambled on this election. I am currently of the opinion that on active support, temujin should probably win. However, Goku has offered 2G for any and all votes, and will undoubtedly have worked hard to try and establish a following. At this point, I believe that Goku is going to lose to temujin, with a lack of active support, but perhaps is bank balance can push him? 😉



It seems that the BDP have held internal primary elections, as the PCP do and have chosen John Rupert Miranda, current PP, to continue his hard work. The BDP have made great progress under him, with good membership stability and great Congress results in a very difficult month. I hope he continues this progress and wish him and the party all the best for the upcoming month.



The Conservative Party, sixth largest party of the eUK (outside of Congress elections currently) is being contested by two strong candidates.

Terribletiger has been the UKRP PP and BDP Congress Director in successful times. He has plenty of experience in leading a political party, however has not released a manifesto.

Baroness Margaret Thatcher has been The Conservative's PP once before, when they had under 10 members. From then he has been enthusiastic in writing articles and getting involved with politics, successfully running for Congress and such. He has also not released a manifesto.

This race all depends on who communicates most with the party in the run up to the election. I believe that with his experience, TT will just edge to victory although I do not rule out BMThatcher. TT should have enough knowledge of politics to claim the office.

Thanks for reading the overview of the Party Presidential elections; my full and final prediction is below.

TUP - IndieKid
UKRP - Daniel Thorrold
PCP - Sir Scott Williamson
RFA - temujin94
BDP - John Rupert Miranda
Conservatives - Terribletiger

Hope you enjoyed the read!
