[GBDP] Party Conference 27/01/2013

Day 1,898, 12:05 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Fill Werrell

Hello eUK!

On Sunday night (27.01.13), members of the GBDP held a party conference to discuss party policies including a GBDP MU, recruitment, supplies, finances, new party banners/logos and the candidate that our party will support for the upcoming CP elections. Here is a brief summary of the topics we discusse😛

GBDP MU:
We decided to go ahead and found an official GBDP Military Unit, with plans to call it ‘The Imperial Guard’. It will be funded by party finances, as well as much-appreciated donations. We would like to thank everyone who donated to party funds. Also, the MU will not be exclusive to GBDP members, all citizens will be allowed to join. Jobs and supplies will be available through this, however the numbers have not yet been decided. Commander elections have already taken place within the GBDP and jny123 was elected Commander and I was elected as 2nd Commander. The founding of the MU will take place later this week.

Recruitment:
We discussed techniques to allow us to recruit citizens to the Great British Democratic Party. Following suggestions by all attendees, we decided on multiple ways to increase our number of members. These included an increased number of recruitment articles, befriending citizens who are currently non-members of the GBDP, encouragement of participation through the MU, mass messaging and using social networking. This topic was put forward after members recognised our inefficient party recruitment.

Supplies:
jny123 has already initiated supplies, supplying GBDP members once a week and non-members once a fortnight. There will also be supplies through the proposed GBDP MU, however no decision has yet been made on what the supplies will consist of.

Finances:
The MU will hit our finances significantly, however we still want to improve trusted members’ factories in return for supplies to be distributed. We have sent out an appeal for donations, and any made would be greatly appreciated. Whether your donation be weapons, food, CC or gold, please send any donations to our Finance Officer here.

New GBDP Banner/Logo:
We decided that our current graphics needed improvement. There was nothing significant discussed about the banners, however we decided on a potential logo that would incorporate the Union Jack, a ballot box, and the party name – GBDP.

CP Elections Candidate:
A party ballot took place to choose our candidate for the upcoming CP elections. Here are the results for the first round of voting:

5butjam – 0 votes
Will Corbett – 2 votes
jny123 – 3 votes
Alfagrem – 3 votes

Following a tie in the first round, jny123 and Alfagrem were entered into a second round of voting. After this also ended in a tie, GBDP Party President CheetahCurtis was given the casting vote, with which he selected Alfagrem as the candidate that the GBDP will be supporting.
