Congress Update!
Lord Lewis Cromwell
Hello again, everyone!
It's after the elections and I'm still here! Yay! It's been an eventful first week of this Congress' term so I'll get right into it.
Threats to the eUK
With our new Congress come new problems. It appears some of our new members of parliament are being taken for mugs by people who want nothing but to troll our people, take advantage of our parties and even some who want to pervert our government in order to break apart our national team.
These people cannot do anything to our country unless they are given citizenship, which allows them to create political parties and military units here, run for Congress and President spots and thereafter take our nation off the natural course of events for their own personal amusement.
This is why it is very important for our people in positions of responsibility to be vigilant. Accepting citizenships for such empty promises as "I'll give you £5000!" "I'll join your party!" and likewise are irresponsible actions which several of our new members have undertook in this first week.
The alarming point of these actions are the number of stupid decisions made in such a short period of time, the following are two of our perpetrators of stupidity:
minidave007 (New Era congressman): accepted Goku Jones' citizenship, Goku Jones has spent the past few years trying to find ways to harm us in every way, and now has the means to do so thanks to this congressman.
Killer2001 (New Era congressman): accepted jocchithesecond's citizenship, who is a self-confessed troll and will do nothing to make our nation stronger.
Both of these happen to belong to "New Era" which is an ironic name for a party which is absolutely nothing new. Allowing corrupt people into our nation for hollow promises and cold currency shows how shallow and clueless these players are and I have no remorse in calling them out for it. These members of Congress have already displayed their disregard for our nation's stability and are more interested in thoughtlessly clicking buttons.
Some are going to attack me with claims that I am a forum douche obsessed with procedure in order to keep "power" with the "elite". I will return those claims with the simple facts that I am not a member of any "elite", from all of my articles to date you can see I merely want our nation to grow and be strong and for everyone to get along for the national good. Sometimes bringing awareness of problems is necessary in order for people to learn and I hope to see people stop callously accepting ill-wishing people into our national team for simple lies such as:
"Hi there, can you accept my citizenship request please? I'll join your party"
"If you accept my cs I'll send you 5000cc"
I have highlighted the parts which prove that these members of congress representing their whore party (paying people for membership as if they are whores) have absolutely no intention of improving our nation and instead are trying to prove a point. The difference between those two things are phenomenal. Parties and congressmen based on this philosophy cannot last, but the damage they do to our nation remains.
Proposals
Along with citizenships, although to a lesser extent, members of parliament have been making a few proposals which have failed due to the lack of awareness of their intentions made before the proposal was started.
Again, I'll be accused of forum-obsession, but there's a reason forums are used and this is one of them. Proposing things that affect our entire nation is an important task and one which must be done with consideration and thought in order to truly make the changes which benefit us all.
In order to do this, we have a Public Discussion forum to make our points about proposals known before voting starts and garner interest in the reasons behind making changes. By no means am I asking everyone to rush to the forums before coming up with ideas to improve our nation, I am more than happy to relay any ideas there or discuss personally the points behind proposals before they are initiated, but putting forward votes for things that we are not given the reasons nor the time to consider their benefit will naturally result in a failed proposal and therefore a waste of a congressman's limit of two proposals per term.
In short, it's important to get support for your ideas before throwing them to the wind which is what we've learned from years of doing this.
Allies!
We have happily renewed our MPP with our old ally Macedonia who has always been a good friendly team to us, there are some issues which caused slight hesitation in some people but rest assured that our diplomatic team is working day and night in order to continue efforts towards forming strong bonds with all our neighbours and brothers around the world! Hail!
Ireland and the new missions
Yes, there's new missions to attempt! One of these is warring against your natural enemy (or something) and so we have agreed with our friends in Ireland to make enemies of eachother for a while longer in order for us to mutually complete our missions and receive the rewards nationwide! Look forward to mock killing more of our celtic neighbours for a while longer!
I'd also like to refresh everyone's memory about the recent agreement we have made with Ireland and the regions we are swapping with them in order to increase economic output mutually and enable trust between our nations:

I think that's enough for this week, good news or bad at least we're still going. To all of our congressmen I plea for sense and thought before action, to everyone else I plea a good day and merriment!
Be cool, stay cool!

new era = biggest threat to uk enough said really
down with new era
Good evening gentlemen: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/an-introduction1-2130256/1/20
Recor😛 I'm not against the New Era party personally but I am against irresponsible actions causing harm to the nation, the fact that those are perpetuated by New Era both by their congressmen and by their party policies (membership buying etc) is coincidental.
ANY NEW ERA MEMBERS LETTING PPL INTO COUNTRY WONT BE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS AGAIN
FOLLOW FORUM RULES NEW MEMBERS
noone really likes killer he probably did this so people would talk about him he wont be elected again not sure about minidave
stop judging new era on 2 idiots it isnt fair on the party
New Era doesn't support this. Your facts are terrible rouge members acting against what I advised by all means slate the players but leave the party out of it.
Rogue*. Why the hell do people keep saying rouge?
To be fair all parties have accepted citizens illegally. Just last month TUP did it then their candidate went on to be CP so you would have thought with such experience they above all elese would have known better. Illegal it still is...ESO, UKPP...everyone has done it so i wouldnt single out New Era to be honest.
Nice to see the Propaganda is flowing from the ESO
@Jao: Welcome to politics, point out a couple of major screw ups and it's propaganda - get over it. You can't defend your party by attacking me and I am talking as a congressman, not representing ESO in this instance and as you can see my support is from a range of parties not just my own.
@everyone else: I don't mean to intentionally bash any one party but the fact is that there are multiple mistakes and questions brought about BY one party and so I raise awareness to stop it.
@Hugh 100% correct

At what point did i ''attack'' you?
and everyone use's propaganda i was just saying that this is the 1st bit I've seen from you guys
this article is going on my wiki😃
Those two people you mentioned, it's their first time as Congress members. They have made a mistake and we will try to prevent this by taking precautions. New Era of course is new, so we will learn from our mistakes as other parties have done during their first days of existence. Trust us, we don't want to see enemies that want to harm the eUK either.
Killer .... 😑 disappointing, it's a betrayal to us
I agree, this is just a congress report. The fact that all the 'bad' things that happened in congress ONLY happen in 'New era' is just a coincidence right?
ps. In my article i oppenly bash newera.

hi killer2001

get to know me then make your choice....
hey captain kushskins
just for the record, i live in the uk for rl but i am greek cypriot...
there are fyroms in this country who have probally never been to the uk in their life!!!
greetings british
New Era is also a new party and offering new players the chance to stand for Congress, something i do honestly believe they should be applauded for. Mistakes happen and if they learn from them then good luck to them \o/

A couple of idiots doesn't make a bad party (all parties have less desirables and all leaders make the odd mistake) New Era obviously have a few top 5 parties worried if they are pushing this hard for propaganda!!
Don has bought a breath of fresh air to eUK and built a unit that often tops daily damage and thus helps eUK.
Well now I believe you. :/
I dont think anybody can deny its been one rapid rise for the MU and the party. Its certainly made politics interesting in eRep again
killer2001 bad, New Era good. next question, please.
I do hope people learn from mistakes and that our nation will be improved.
It will be a long road, eRepublik lost 20k citizens in two weeks there is a need for more fun and involvement in UK. We do not have a need for blaming, framing and hating parties.
Good article Lord Lewis Cromwell. Voted!
So many comments:At what point in the article am I peddling anti-New Era propaganda? Did you actually read it or just glance through? The names mentioned undeniably made mistakes and if I hadn't publicised the mistakes and explain why they were mistakes at all our nation grows ever weaker. Point out one word of a lie if you're going to claim "propaganda", otherwise accept that I just want our nation to improve. Would New Era have bothered tightening up their national input if I hadn't?
Trouble is LLC your article comes within hours of yourself and a few others discussing on the forums whether to plant spies and take over New Era. I have no ''beef'' with you as you've always struck me as a genuinely pleasant scamp but the timing does seem a tad off considering Goku's screenshots.
So whilst you are right that two New Era members broke ''forum rules'' they didnt break the games rules. Just the timing i guess is the reason some claim youre anti-new era
After a few days in the eUK, I realise that the it is ruled by one party, and all the other parties are forced to follow....this is democracy???? This is fair???
+1 Dr Hugh Jardon
"but there's a reason forums are used"
There's also a huge reason the forums aren't used, and that's TUP.
+1 Hugh Jardon
So New Era gives members 500 currency to recruit members? (see screenshot)
Hard to say the party is not standing for bribery and corruption if this is true...
... How is it Bribery and corruption, it's a recruitment strategy that i'm sure all parties Have, Are or will use it until the end of this game
Offering members a bounty for recruiting new people is not bribery. It's more like payment for services rendered. I don't even see the problem with paying people to join your party, what's the difference between giving someone 250 GBP or giving them 10 Q7 tanks?
New Era has two people who are undesirable, but that shouldn't condemn the entire party (I'm not talking about the article but people in general). I'm sure after this month New Era be a lot more careful with their candidate selection.
