Politics
Iain Keers is very active in the political sphere, as a leading member of the Unity Party and Congressman. He was born in mid-December, and first elected to Congress when only a month old, in January. Standing for election was an important decision, and Iain used his experience of politics to make sure that he ran a good campaign. A failure in eRepublik led to much confusion, with the main site being down for much of the 22nd and 23rd, leading to some members failing to run for congress. Iain Keers was one of three candidates running for two seats, the others being Count Drakula (The Unity Party) and IndieKid (Movement for Democratic Unity). He came first in the region, with 12 votes, with IndieKid winning the other seat.
In February he ran again to maintain his seat, and won a landslide victory. Y&H had went from an all MDU region to a TUP region. Also elected were fellow TUP member Count Drakula and PCP member Jaden87. Jaden then betrayed his party by moving to the newly established Liberal Social Democrats Party. Iain focused his second term on assisting the MoFA Squiddy in international affairs, and inwardly attempting to introduce reforms into The Unity Party.
In March Iain ran for and won the Party Presidency of the Unity Party. He defeated friends and long-term TUP members Eadie and Ares989, and immediately began to transform the party. During the Congress Elections he re-ran for his Y&H seat and won, coming top of the national ballot with 27 votes, which was 57% of the vote in his region. In his first month in office as TUP leader he increased membership by a third, took over the PCP, made The Unity Post the seventh most subscribed UK newspaper and helped Malta_1990 win the Presidency.
He was selected by the new President as Minister of Finance, one of the fastest elevations to high office in UK history. Iain had never before served government, even as an apprentice or Under-Minister. He appointed Arthur Wellesley as his second in command, and had great respect for his abilities. On the 15th of April he contested the Party Presidency and narrowly defeated North East congress member and veteran Unity Party member John Forseti.
On April 25th Iain stood once again in his beloved region as congress member, possibly for the last time in a while. He intends to resign from political commitments over the month to focus on military commitments over the following month. However Iain has stated that he will return to the UK when he is needed once again.
Iain's political beliefs are centrist and statist. He believes in a big state politically, with an active NHS and government intervention to ensure high employment. His beliefs have in the past been controversial, especially his commitment to introducing Party Politics into a House of Commons that is largely independent. Since beginning this effort, he has mostly succeeded in making the House of Commons party political.
Return to Politics
After serving for two months as leader of the Paramilitary group Camelot, Iain returned to government as Minister of Trade under President Hassan Pesaran. In his term he introduced regular monitoring and reporting on market trends, supplied business advice to new players and considerably improved communication in the department. He is still Minister of Trade today.
On the 25th of July he stood for congress in Yorkshire and Humberside once again. Although saddened that so many old friends had moved on since he was there last, he still returned to Parliament with a comfortable ten votes. Since then he has messaged citizens in the region in the hope of revitalizing activity.
In September Iain moved to the West Midlands region and stood against veteran UKRP congressman LordJustice. He won first place in the region and took up position there for one month. On the 18th of October Iain announced he would not be standing for congress, choosing to take another military break as a member of the PEACEKeepers.
Shortly after joining the PEACEKeepers Iain rose to officer rank, and eventually joined the PEACE community as emeritus. Thus he represented the UK as an international leader after the collapse of PEACE and the rise of Phoenix. His financial history led to him being unanimously selected twice as Treasurer of Phoenix. During this time he also served as congressman for the West Midlands region.
On the 16th of January Iain stood as Party President of his party TUP, on the five part pledge card of 1000 members, 18 congress seats, 1 president, increased media activity and a re-opening of social programs. He won by more than 100 votes and took back his seat as leader of the party.
Economics
Iain Keers is the founder and Editor of the Economist weekly newspaper, which covers news from all over the world. Economically, Iain has made a journey in eRepublik. Originally a champion of market economics, he has grown disillusioned with failing capitalist ventures. Upon close investigation, he decided that a mixed economy is the strongest economy to have in eRepublik. Since then he began work on a project called The Socialist Challenge, which brings together many different socialist theories to create a blueprint model of the ideal society. Part one of the socialist challenge was released alongside Hassan's manifesto.
Iain is supported in his constituency by members of all parties, not just the Unity Party. His focus on making eRepublik fun, and finding ways for members to gain experience quickly, have drawn many active new players to the region since he came to office.
He created the economics think tank the Centre for Financial Affairs which develops economic policy for the British state.
