Thoughts about the election
Eha Pappkriger
As some of you know there is a minor threat of a new political takeover. Over the past time there have been created a large number of what seems to be multi-accounts, and someone fears they might be a part of a PTO team. And those who fear it the most seems to be Teknokratene.
Eris and Reboot came to our channel on IRC with a proposal. They proposed that we run with the same candidate, i.e. supported by both parties. And this time they would vote for our candidate, and the next time we were under threat for a PTO, we would support their candidate. You may think that it doesn't sound like a bad idea, but you're wrong. It is a bad idea. Because they didn't want to support me as the candidate. They made a list of people they don't want as president. They want to chose who's running for both parties, instead of us, the biggest party with the most members and our candidate. They don't want a democratically elected candidate to run for both parties. The five active members of Teknokratene wants to chose themselves. It sounds a bit sceptical if you ask me. If they're so sure that there's going to be a PTO, why would they not want to run with a democratically chosen candidate? Why are they giving up liberty for security?
As Benjamin Franklin said "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Teknokratene clearly shows that they are not acting in the interest of the people, but merely their own political power. They are not interested in democracy, they want to control the elections by themselves and make sure we'll vote for them the next time multis are being made.
So if you plan on voting Teknokratene this election, please don't.
And why even fear another PTO? The Binary Party has the majority of congressmen. Together with other Norwegian parties, we have got the power to take down a hostile president. Why? It's for the greater good and it's in the interest of the people that a president is elected not by cheating, but by the people. And that president's got good intentions for eNorway, unlike a goon.
Even if Tek is afraid of goons and multis, they shouldn't be forced into drastic means such as dictating other parties candidates. Is it really so that they know what's ultimately good for us? Why haven't they done anything the last month? Why should we even give them another month in which they can complain about everything instead of working? There are many questions we can ask ourselves regarding Teknokratene. Just keep in mind that a vote for Teknokratene is merely a vote for unjust and a vote for a worse eNorway. It's up to the readers of this to decide who they want as president.
If you shouldn't vote Reboot nor any other goons, why should you vote for me? First of all, I am not Teknokratene. I'm not going to give away essential liberty, and I'm not scared by goons or other hostile threats. In my first term as president I even managed to make peace with eRussia amongst others. I've been playing for two years now, which have given me an awfully large amount of experience. I believe that each player is of equal value, yet we're all different and let it be like that. The masses cannot be controlled and neither should we try to. I believe in a system where each player and citizen of eNorway should do what suits her or him the best, and a system where we all can express ourselves in the news without suffering retaliation by enemies of liberty. eNorway isn't perfect, and it won't be if Teknokratene is in charge. What we need is a new president, chosen by the people and acts in the interest of the people.
A vote for BP is a vote for a better eNorway. Seeing as we already have put together a cabinet it shows that we're organized. We have experience and we work hard. We don't have to wait 20 days for something to happen, we aren't going to sit back and complain. Complaints are for the weak and those that lack the ability to do something besides working. I won't mention any names, but you know who you are. Instead, we look forward and will begin working from day one. We're ready to begin working for eNorway and for the people. We're ready to show goons what we're made of, and we laugh at their attempts to destroy this great nation.
Thanks,
Eha Pappkriger

Looking good! Cant wait for the election!
This is just a desperately yell because you know you are going to loose the elections. This is not a clean fight and BP shows once again how desperate they are to just win and not to work for a better eNorway.
Eha is the best choice for Norway!
Voted, Supported, Signed...
@Harald You in TT worked so hard this month so that nothing happened in country so it is really funny to hear about working from You.
Haral😛 You're entitled to your opinion, but you cannot get away from the fact that TeK is giving up liberty for security. And that is very ironic, especially when you're talking about working for a better eNorway.
I am sorry to hear that you have not even been interested to see what Eris and her cabinet have done this month.
IF BP wins I can assure you that I won't do like you guys di😛 just stand aside and watch. I will get involved in countries' problems even if I won't be part of president's cabinet of congress!
@Eha: Mate, I see you are kinda old. Try to remember the PTO in march-april 2009! I won't be happy to live those moments again.
Oh god! A PTO! I shiver! What are we going to do?! Oh... President impeachment. No problem then! "But they are still here!" What? The folks that are going to PTO us? They number less than TT! They need extreme amounts of luck to get the votes needed. I do not see them as a major threat. Besides, the admins will remove them if the threat is real! There wont be any problems with the PTO.
Also, your government has accomplished nothing! We in BP proved we could last term when Cirno was president, and we will do so again! Not being elected back in is because you are an inactive party! 5 people running the country and not being able to fill all the minister positions until the 24th day of the term? I find that weak and pathetic! Your party should be able to run the entire government all by yourself! You have after all over 80 members! You do not need all of those to run it! Just 10 or so. Why did you have to use so long time to get the positions filled? Lack of active members and no devotion to eNorway I call! Had you really cared and stepped up, you would have no problems!
"IF BP wins I can assure you that I won't do like you guys di😛 just stand aside and watch. I will get involved in countries' problems even if I won't be part of president's cabinet of congress!"
Harald, you have 3 posts in total on our forum, which is our political platform, Immigration has been falling apart under your lead, and Eris have had to step up to do part of your job there.
Tell me again, why do you think you can bash what BP stands for, when you can't even do the one little task you were given?
Voted!
Harald, the PTO back in the old days can't be compared to this one. The system is completely revamped. Your worries are based on outdated information.
I have not been involved in the aforementioned process, but I must stress that eNorway has a long history of uniting in the face of a PTO.
Albeit this one might be on the meager end. The drama will however be on you, not Eris and Reboot, if this PTO, against all expectations, succeeds.
So, by TT dictating who BP can and cannot run as president, makes BP the big, bad wolf, Evleos?
TT flat out said; "We will not support Eha!", thus basically ending negotiations there and then...
And you flat out denied it, basically ending negotiations there and then...
So by being dictated by BP that Eha must be president, that somehow makes TT the big bad wolf?
Min forrige kommentar var ment på denne artikkelens kritikk av TT-ere for å forsøke å lage en samarbeidsregjering i lys av trusselen fra et PTO. Et forsøk som så blir brukt av BP i et politisk spill...
Artikkelen ovenfor bruker svært mye tid på å kritisere TT for å stille som krav om at Eha ikke skulle være den samlende president, men den ser glatt gjennom at BP likedan som TT har vært "dikterende". At begge parter i så måte har vært dikterende, gjør retorikken i artikkelen svært urimelig.
Jeg må igjen legge vekt på at jeg har ikke vært med i noen prosess her, f.eks. har jeg ikke vært med på utformingen av kandidater TT kunne tenkt seg å støtte.
Good comeback, I must say...
However - what happened to democracy? Binary Party have agreed amongst them selves that Eha is our best candidate. That is 50.5% of the members of the two parties involved (per now; 101-99)
(http://www.erepublik.com/en/rankings/parties/1/37)
How many members from TT agreed they all hated Eha? Who are TT to cast aside our best suited candidate for this election?
No, if anything "bad" happens, don't come running to us pointing your fingers...
Vote Eha!
To quote Binary Party presidential candidate Eha Pappkriger, a man of few words and even fewer constructive ones:

Good luck, Eha of the Flame! 😃
