Past, Present, and Future of eSA Government
Marmaduke IV
I would like to address the current state of eSA's government, as a longtime eSA citizen, part time Lazokrat, and full time troll.
The governments of Wilpanzer and Grimstone were not only active, but effective in achieving the goals they set out to achieve. When electing a president, we need to continue to look inwards at the hard-working individuals who are here countless days in and out, fighting in the trenches for our country. Not "old geezers" riding the coattails of past accomplishments, unaware of the specifics of our current challenges.
The question now is whether or not this PTO would have occured had the current administration's witchhunt had not undone last months work of negotiations. The current administration is in shambles without a leader and nobody is willing to step into those shoes. Their only direction is to continue following orders that were given over a week ago by a president that is nowhere to be found.
Claudio, who is a douchebag and removed my certified status, said it better than anyone else when he mentioned the key wor
😛"entitled". There is a certain stigma surrounding the word that ultimately links to another wor
😛Elitism.
Why would anyone in their right mind elect someone to be president just two days after they got eSA citizenship? And how, while we have so many people trying to get said citizenship, does this person get to cut in front of the line and ultimately win the presidency? Entitlement.
The witchhunt this administration has started has resulted in the PTO of the Union of Patriots. Now, I have no qualm with Enriche2Ribeiro. In fact, I find his patriotism mouthwatering. But when interviewing a citizen as to why people should vote for Ricky over the obvious PTOer "Mamado resdilmen", the response I received was something about him being the founder of the party. Well, I founded the party that is currently ruled by Lazokrats. Nobody seems to care about that.
So, you don't like it when people join your party and run for PP right away, but when your friend Tenshibo comes to the country and runs for President the next day, that's okay? Like my grandma used to say "That's a pile of horse shit".
The entitlement and elitism are going to tear us apart. Unite behind people that are fighting day in and day out. Look inwards. Hold hands and sing Kumbayah. If we are going to win this war, we need to do it together and not by tearing eachother apart (I'm looking at you MoS and Forum Dictator Al Kazansi).
Excellent article regarding the idea of impeachment: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/impeachment-1-2352734/1/20#comments
I can't really support an in-game impeachment as it would result in Skquall becoming CP, but it brings up some good points.

Some very good points in this article, well written as well
Future Leader of Lazokracy in Africa
nope, Lazo;s would not trust Marma, might use him though. To be a Lazo, you need to be very quiet and scribble in hieroglyphics, neither of which Marma can do : ) Personally i think you would be better choice than Marma, but that might be seen as bickering : P
I agree with most you have said, just a couple of points:
- The active citizens once it become clear that CP is not around started to get things rolling, but we then heard about the imminent return of our CP, we thought it was indeed imminent. The citizens is ready to keep the wheels turning.
- Tenshibo, has been great CP in the past, that is a track record and is good way to judge, he is also known by most eSA citizens, now to compare Tens election to Marmalade who ran against Enriche is flawed, as i suspect you knows, Marmalade even though he has been here for months, nothing has been heard, seen or read by the avg citizen, most likely a multi, and NO track record as opposed Enriche whose patriotism you admire, and has a great track record.
- I agree, there is no such thing as entitlement to be CP, just because someone stated it does not make it fact. You could have ran against Tenshibo, but as the inforum votes showed, nobody stood a chance as he is more popular, you did not run as you would have needed the Lazo vote to win, which you did not have.
- I voted Tenshibo, and i still think it was the right choice on the information that was available, no way to know if or when a CP goes missing for a week or so. Does that make everyone that voted Tenshibo the enemy?
- I fully agree with you the bickering has to stop, no time and place for it, although i see enough of it in this article, your word choice makes it clear.
- In eSA we sit with a problem with accountability, from CP to congress who seem to be congress for gold only, the PP's for their selection of congress candidates and us citizens who just want to sit and have everything handed to us and vote again the same inactive congress into power.
I agree with you fully Marmaduke, I was part of the cabinet of the last three presidents and am disappointed that our hard work in those two terms can unravel so fast by the choice of a wrong CP. Luckily El Reto is prepared to take the reins for the time being so we can now get some direction. It is an uphill climb for us. Your comment about UP is true I actually dont deserve PP on past doings and me more than anyone else have failed UP, what to do, all we can do is hard work and it will take all of us.
