A Call for Unity.
Sir Southstreet
I know this is an outrageous proposal, but...
Let's try to start setting aside the party politics and start working together eh?
We've got a ton of people complaining from every side of the political sphere about things that are going wrong and not a lot of solutions.
So some of us are TUP, some of us are ESO, some of us are PCP. Who cares? I know we can put eUK first if we try.
My proposal is this:
Let's address the problems by compromising, and finding mature resolutions to each of them.
Support those who want to work. Mentor them and guide them respectfully. Don't try to draw lines of experience, but those who do have it, step up.
There are a lot of ambitious, mature players in the eUK. Sure, there's a few buggers who ruin it and cause blood to boil, but we can ignore those few.
Support players based on their effort, not their list of job titles.
Experience players are recognized in the public eye. Your support of a progressive cause will be seen, and more easily supported.
BE LEADERS. Not Belly Itchers.
In general,
Let's all stop being twats and get things done this next term. eUK is friggen great. Let's act like it.
So we've got an inactive ministry and CP. There's not much we can do about it until the 5th. Fine.
So let's make preparations for the term change. Let's vote a candidate who promotes a serious plan for reparation.
Let's vote a candidate based on their plan, and activity, not just because they are in our party.
I'm above party politics and the newfag vs oldfag game.
We can do this eUK. It just actually takes some maturity.
Feel free to discuss, praise, or complain about my post.

Nice one, agreed!
Another quality post and agree with the above
Has N W G stamp of approval
(insert stamp here)
Outrageous! How dare you? lol
Naw, seriously, spot-on, mate.
Keep this sort of thing up and we're in serious danger of doing quite well, don't you think?
I agree that the current situation is unhealthy, but I am afraid I don't agree with your analysis. It is not the concept of party politics that is at fault, but our misfiring democracy. I've written a defense of party politics which can be found here - http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/a-defense-of-party-politics-2047579/1/20 - and will soon be writing a critique of eUK politics.
Hear HEAR
They're just words. If you're supporting based on effort as you've said in the article then you'll vote Greatmoff but it appears that the coalition is lining up another month of anyone but TUP for all the wrong reasons.
Don't get me wrong, Rawdon is a nice enough guy but his support is not gained from people trying to do what is best for the country.
"So some of you are TUP, some of us are ESO, some of us are PCP". The use of "you" and "us" is telling.
I think he's trying to say that Rawdon is bad for the country and that he is disappointed in ESO for trying to get the inferior candidate into office just because it is their candidate.
Vote Greatmoff people, someone who has served cabinet terms -this year-
So, in an article that calls for people to "Support players based on their effort, not their list of job titles.", Invalidation says vote for Greatmoff because he has served in cabinet.
-.-
The guy writes an article about working together and the comment section is full of how Greatmoff is better than Rawdon.....
Looks like we're off to a good start.
Referring to TUP as 'you' and PCP & ESO as 'us' doesn't make a good start in a plea for Unity.
Its an empty article attempting to paint some facade of moral superiorty with this 'proUK' stance that implies no-one else has the country's interests at the heart of what they do.
The fact is Greatmoff has been involved continuously, especially while we've been off the map shows that he is willing to put the effort in. He's not just popped back for a week and asked everyone to ignore past work.
Yep. That's what this was. A morally superior post.
Gosh you all missed the point.
You really dug to find a flaw didn't you? OH! He said YOU and US! There! He's drawing lines of difference right there!
No, I was using nouns to describe different people, not different beliefs. I was trying to point out that our differences shouldn't be as forefront in our politics.
GreatMoff and Rawdon are great people, but this isn't a CP debate area.
Sit down, re-evaluate your political ideas, and try to put forth an effort to work together.
Who cares about our political affiliation, I'm willing to work with anyone if it's for the good of eUK.
All of you should be as well. Newfag or Oldfag.
And Invalidation, this is not a Pro-Rawdon post or an anti-Great Moff post. You are trying to dig and find some mud to sling.
I think both CP candidates would do an excellent job and I'm not partial to either one. I'm not claiming myself or my party are the only Pro-Ukers. But there are people who are playing that have gotten distracted from that stance and I was trying to get through to them.
Yeah, let's all work together. No shady backroom deals about who supports who. Let's do it on who is best for the country. Couldn't agree more!

Wow. I am embarrassed. I didn't really know that kind of stuff was going on.
Keep in mind I'm barely a month old.
