I am proud to say that I am a member of the only party with an active PP race.
But an active PP race does not equal an active party. To have an active party, the party must have a platform capable of bringing in members, citizens new and old. For a while now, the Gold Party Reborn has struggled to stay active, let alone stay top-5. Last month, we gave ourselves a task. Find ourselves a candidate capable of running a national candidacy for president. This person had to be organized, capable of leading, and capable of connecting with citizens and the issues we face. From the beginning, we stressed that this candidate must put together a platform for the party and run under that platform for country president. But this never happened.
I have the utmost respect for Cody Caine and still believe he is was the right guy for CP, but that was then and this is now. Why does Cody now want to put together a party platform but when running for CP was either too busy or too indifferent to do so?
All throughout the election season I spent time messaging leaders of the various groups of eSA explaining what I believed the Gold Party stands for, never sure if it was even true because the candidate had never told us what exactly he was running for.
Today in eSouth Africa, we have parties that don't represent ideas. The Turks, The Macedonians, The Senior Citizens. These are groups of people, not ideas. My goal running for PP is to change this. I want the Gold Party to be the first to establish itself as a party of beliefs rather than a group of friends who unite for political gain and clout.
Once elected PP, I will establish a platform based on the following:
-Independence from foreign manipulation
-Self-Reliance
-Domestic Inclusion (ie- Lazocrat, Macedonian)
-Openness to New foreign partnerships (alliances)
While members will not be required to agree with the entirety of the party platform, those that best follow the ideals will be given congressional priority. This will be a party of politics, not friends and political clout. In addition, we will support candidates for Country President that best follow these ideals, whether the candidate is from SAGP or another one of South Africa's political parties.
This is do or die time, and inaction is a pathway to death.
Thank you,
The Honorable Arch Bishop Dr. Marmaduke Exilious Alphonso IV, Sr, OB/GYN
Congressman, South Africa
Councillor, South African Gold Party

good luck!
Appreciated!
I wrote two articles in regard to the June 5th CP race, maybe they weren't the greatest articles compared to other campaigns in the eWorld, but they covered what they needed to cover, so I don't appreciate the notion I was indifferent.
Two articles for a country presidency race isn't something to brag about. I've already written two for this PP race.
We advised you to create a solid platform and it never happened. I also advised you to get in contact with the Lazocrats and that never happened either. Given the vote difference, earning the trust of the Lazos, who had only known you to be a puppet VP, could have won you the race.
I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just pointing out how little details like that can have a big impact and something that a leader needs to see.
A Not bragging, stating a fact. I don't write stuff unless I mean it, and I don't do a bunch of false pretense promises. If people don't like what I have to say, I am not changing it to please others.
B. I'm not making deals with untrustworthy people to win anything, goes against everything I believe in.
C. Leadership is a lot of things, like not jumping down someones throat over not understanding how they play the game. Like notice I never harassed you over your NE proposal 😛,
Chill out bro and let the cards fall the way they fall on election day.
A- That's what campaigning is. Saying stuff just to say it and remind people
B- If you're not able to make deals then you're not ready for real leadership
C- The NE was discussed, you were left out for obvious reasons *cough* BR Sympathizer *cough*. The two NEs that we proposed is what led to Brazil agreeing to return Western Cape at no expense to us. A hard-line approach is what will win us the upcoming war.
I know I'm fighting an uphill battle tomorrow. You've established yourself as a nice guy and easy to vote for. But a friendly smile doesn't win a war just like Cody Caine doesn't win a CP election. If your platform failed to win a fair 1v1 national election last week, what makes it good enough now?
You never learn do you, every time I try to be even half way friendly toward you, this happens.
That "hard line" approach of yours, has a tendency to offend, and frankly, you should get better information, I've already pissed off Brazils CP this month when I called them scared cowards.
Why are you taking this personally? It's an election. Deal with it.
Because you decided to make it personal, like any politician who has to reply on mudslinging.
Even the title is a shot at me, at what point do you stop trying to make enemies with everyone?
Maybe politics are not for you then, mate
Marmaduke has a few good points. You have to learn to be assertive. You know Lancer, Marmaduke and I will back you. Don't back down so easily like I did in the past, it's not good for your image if you're a politician.
Be assertive, excuse me but really? If I had a problem saying things, this party wouldn't still exist.
You back down from fights. When Nickerball and Tenshibo wanted to see you resign as VP you just disappeared. We both knew you had a legit reason, I even stood in for you defending your name...If the truth hadn't come out the approval would still have been an infraction on your name. Stand strong mate. This is where SAGP's identity begins. If we can't be there for each other we might as well just call ourselves unassociated independents.
I broke the rules, come on people, my name was cleared on a technicality. I did it on purpose because I wanted to use up the cit pass, and because I was going to quit the job anyway.
I'm not playing into this BS, you guys want to have fun, continue your secret NE discussions, and other garbage moves.
This is interesting. My complaint has always been a lack of party identity. Each party is the same old boring thing that keeps the status quo. Establishing an actual party identity is a good thing. I'm going to write an article on this.
G'luck
Hmm, maybe I should join SAGP. Looks like there is something going on here.
The illusion of democracy. Nobody other than Me, Cody, and Wil actually read any of this.
We even had a debate on IRC last night 🙂
Oh, but I read it too. Maybe a change is as good as a holiday, who knows, and just think about it, I might even behave too
How you gonna be OB/GYN when you so cold bruh? Women don't like that on they flip flaps.
The truth is the few members that vote in the party are hardline Cody supporters. They'd trust him enough to vote for him for 10 consecutive PP terms.
If I was SAGP member, I would vote Marmaduke. Cody is too much pro brazil, simple.
Get updated on Recent events.
Then update me. Are you not one of the main motivators to get eBR to join nan? If yes then my comment stand.
That was before I talked to there CP, and called his nation scared.
