Response to Nick's Accusations
•
by CBall
After reading a recent article by my fellow candidate Nick Appleton I am very shocked to have had such an attack by him. In his article he talks about 'power mongering' between TUP and UKRP. Personally I see this as words from a worried and maybe a slightly jealous man. TUP are putting forward as many candidates as possible in the elections and we are backing all of them equally.
I see this as a knee jerk reaction from a PCP candidate stemming from an article were Katie expressed her own opinion. If everyone else where to do what she did would Nick be accusing every other party? You said yourself that no official word of this or tip off have led to these accusations but from your own interpretation of the article.
Nick also mentioned about me not saying much about my aims apart from the usual mayoral roles. Well in my manifesto I talked about unemployment and how I will be focusing on that more than anything, my role as Minister of Work aiding me in this. I asked all mayors to work with the DoW by sending the names of all new citizens to us so we can get them jobs. Some slip through the net but with me as mayor I can offer new citizens a job as soon as possible. In a recent interview I talked about forum activity and getting the people of Liverpool talking which is greatly needed. If its citizens don't voice their concerns then how will we know how to improve? An educated action is far more efficient and effective than just guess work.
As for a lack of interest, I find this insulting. I have been active since January which shows that I am interested in eRepublik and all I do on it. I have always actively searched for ways to become more involved and if being a GM, former Party President, a current congressman and governmental minister is regarded as not active then I'd like to know what is.
If you do truly believe that I am only running for power then don't vote for me. If I do get elected I don't want it to have been from sheep voting but from people who believe that I am in this for the region, its citizens and everything connected.
I am willing to look past all the accusations and I wish Nick the best of luck on the 20th. Hopefully it will be a close election.
Thanks for reading!

The way politics \'should\' be done.
I am pleased and relieved to hear that party poltics have not sunk to such low depths for the TUP and I look forward to an honest and straight election. May the best man for the job win 🙂
Thanks frufru, I just wanted it to be known that we are not working together with UKRP.
I being a supporter of TUP despite the fact i am now in the USA, am glad to know you are upholding the parties honour and have kept your integrity by not participating in a mud slinging war which your rival candidate has obviously lowered himself to. Hope you win because having worked with you in the past, know you are a fine candidate. Btw a note to Nick put away the big spoon and stop stirring up trouble and stick to trying to win a clean race.
I would like to add that Nick also has integrity and would not have writtent the article withour real fears ~ however unfounded. I am sure he is not delberatley mud slinging. He is a good bloke. why don\'t you pm each other?
he should have pm\'ed CBall with his fear initially instead of writing a hasty article. But i get your point and fair enough we all make mistakes
Cball, thanks for writing a response. It shows for both parties, and to be honest, both of us,(TUP and UKRP) were very shocked.
I feel very hurt about this.
PCP have experienced slander and innuendo and unfounded criticism that we are totalitarian stalinists from day 1 . So yes, we know it can be hurtful when you have ideals and principles and integrity that are trampled on and falsified in \'the press\'..So hpefully now we can put this behind us and look forward to greater integrity in all our e-rep political dealings.
That sounds wonderful. Thank you Frufru.
