PCP Update - Post Version 1

Day 335, 11:39 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Stan Wephen

Hello comrades. As promised, I'm here to bring you the news on the People's Communist Party. It's been an interesting week, with Version 1's release, widdows resignation and several appointments, so read on.
 
Presidential candidacy
 
Last week widdows9000 announced suddenly he was leaving for the eUSA. Fortunately, his trip was short-lived, and widdows9000 returned to the eUK. However, he has decided not to stand for Presidency under the current conditions, and has also resigned as Minister of Defence. This sparked a brief crisis within the PCP, as we head into the congress elections without a CP candidate. Tim09, after widdows9000's resignation, went on to take the job of Country President candidate. Tim09 has my full support as a brilliant politician and personal friend. Tim09 has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs for 3 terms, being under-minister of MoFA and apprentice MoFA for 2 months before that. He has a wide field of experience both in economics and domestic policy, such as the formation of the Trade Unions.
 
Appointments
 
Thanks to a recent influx of new, active members of the People's Communist Party, I'm pleased to announce several new appointments within the PCP.Tecchi - Junior Director of RecruitmentFrixion- Junior Director of CommunicationsI have full faith in both Tecchi and Frixion that both of them will perform their duties in the PCP with distinction and dedication.
 
Proposal - House of Lords
 
Currently the People's Communist Party is proposing a reform of the current political system with the introduction of a second house the Parliament, similiar to the House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords will be appointed by the top 3 PPs and the CP, keeping it democratic. This second House will allow soldiers such as paratroopers to become part of the government whereas previously they were disallowed from participation. It will also allow congressman in the HoL to concentrate on the country rather than the monthly congress elections.
 
PCP Constitution
 
The Constitution for the PCP is currently about 80% complete - all that's left is a bit of tidying up and working out loose ends. As soon as the Constitution is finished, it will be announced in this newspaper, as well as being put on the eRepublik wiki, so watch out for that.
 
Get to know the PCP: Ip Lockard
 
The founding father of the PCP, Ip Lockard is one biggest influences in modern British pollitcs. Originally the United Kingdom Action Party, Ip Lockard won the party elections in February and renamed it the People's Communist Party. He was the Chancellor of the Exchequer in April and May, and is still heavily involved in the People's Initiative.
