Politics without the bullshit

11 Day 732, 03:17 South Africa
Look at the time, it's congressional elections again. But who are you going to support? Party loyalty is all good and well, but is your party running candidates you can truly get behind? Or do you really want to run for congress but your party leadership just won't support you? Or listen to you?

Ok enough with the rhetorical questions. The Independent Alternative is a fresh approach to politics. In the first two weeks of our operation, we reached the number 5 position in South African politics and became the third-most powerful party with 25% of congress.

Since then, we have climbed to number 4 in the ranks and are planning to repeat our past election success. But we can only do it with your support.

What can you do? Well, you can join the party. We are always looking for dedicated, enthusiastic new members to corrupt...um...I mean, support.

Alternatively, you can vote for our candidates in the upcoming elections. Because it's not about party loyalty. It's about candidates you can get behind.

We are organised, passionate about eSouth Africa and we know how to take ourselves a little less seriously than the rest.

The Independent Alternative stands for transparent, effective and capable leadership. All the candidates running are being approved and discussed in our forum.

Independent Alternative congressmen will donate their 5 gold to the Reserve Bank of South Africa to support the growth of our country both economically and geographically. All our congress members did it last time - there's your proof that we don't bullshit.

We will be releasing the list of candidates running for Independent Alternative in the next two days. If you want to be one of those candidates, join Independent Alternative in game and then join ourforum.

Or join us just cause we're awesome.

Since other Goldens have decided to spam articles with bias flaming, I guess I'll join in.

No bullshit? How about half the member of IA that got elected last term were inactive. And that the person you guys elected PP was then banned for multis. "It's about candidates you can get behind"

A country president who multis is sickening.

Get a new platform.

None of the guys that got banned ran for congress. Gabriel was elected PP before we decided on this platform and it is impossible for us to know who has multis and who doesn't. In the end, I can vouch for no one else but myself.

When it comes to transparency, if a congress man of Independent Alternative pulled the kind of shit you did for example, I would release an article pulling that person down and ask them to resign.

Plus I think the congressional speaker should judge performance of congress members, not you. None of our members got a RED rating. Oh but look, you did: <a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/congress-speaker-reports-back-1044181/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/cong[..]1/20</a>

Plus Gabriel was country president of another party back in the day, not Independent Alternative.
