[Fataliix4CP] Let's Give This Another Go
Fataliix
Hello again eUK. Been a crazy month, hasn't it?
As Minister of Foreign Affairs, I've been at the centre of it all. From coordinating support for a revolution after MEK's takeover, to working with Scarfar after he unexpectedly bought the Dictatorship, and now removing France from our cores. It's been a crazy month and I've been involved in everything (except Finance, I guess...). Despite being in much better shape than we were under MEK, the eUK still faces some tough challenges. Right now, above all else, we need stability and continuity. As perhaps the most involved citizen over this past month, these are qualities that I can provide better than anyone else.
This next month will require some careful diplomacy. We need to continue rebuilding the bridges we burnt and forging new friendships, and it shouldn't need to be said that we could do without making any more enemies right now.
There may also be some growing pains with the newly elected Dictator, but I don't foresee this being a real problem as we have two fantastic candidates. I know I can work with either.
As well as these challenges, we need to get our finances back on track and restore our core bonuses, things that aren't possible without a united nation. I know that there is an anti-UKRP sentiment fuelled by perceived power plays, and we're lucky to have citizens so vigilant, but I believe that I've proven I will always put the country above party politics.
This won't be an easy month, but I acknowledge the issues we face and understand how to confront them as I'm already doing so.
That was all a bit too serious, wasn't it?
Could have done with some memes or something, but I feel that right now it's better to be straight about what we're facing.
If we can get our economy back on track I'd like to go ahead with the TG grants I promised (pending Congress approval) last month. We've been puzzling over what to do with our money to keep it from attracting another MTO, and I still believe we should use it to invest in silly newbies that will become future leaders. I wouldn't have bought my first training contract without a little help, and I'll pay that forward for as long as I play. Making our most promising players indebted is not the way to go.
Rob the Bruce before I paid for his TGs. Now he's only emotionally indebted...
I'd also like to pinch something from my rival of last month (sorry Max), national strikes. At the time I was cynical that we had the activity to make the idea effective, but the number of citizens that have expressed an interest at running, or participating, in one this month has been a wake up call. It might not be a regular thing, but we'll have some fun.
Some of our close allies have also suggested cooperating in such a way, so we may well take a strike international. Huzzah! \o/
I won't promise anything that I don't think we can achieve. We face a number of struggles, our government are still locked out of their orgs and the nation continues to feel the repercussions of the MTO, but I can promise that a month from now we will be in a better position.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading. This was far too serious.
I'll publish some of the options we have to improve our economic situation in the next article (give back the f*cking money BA), but it's all things that Congress are already figuring out.

Looks good, but itd be interesting to see what else you'll offer. Ambassadors and reinstating so many tried and failed policies last month lost you the election. What else would be different this time?
Jamesw I wanted to reply to you based on my experience this month working with Fata.
Fata has encouraged me to get involved this month. I contacted Turkey and worked on the MPP even when Scarfar was offline and missed the first vote. Turkey was kind enough to start another MPP vote.
I had no reply from two countries and a nasty reply from one. I was thrown in the deep end. I learned that Wayne and Serfartsalot have damaged our image and we need to work hard with our allies to rebuild this again.
But I thank Fata really.
I've learned a lot in the last couple of weeks.
I support giving young players the opportunity to meet foreign players and build need relationships.
So to call Ambassadors as a "Failed policy" is absolute rubbish.
That all aside Jamesw. I have seen Fata run the country this month. Being on IRC has let me see this and he has singled handedly worked with Scarfar to regain our regions.
I do think he deserves a shot as being the Proper CP and gaining some credit for his hard work.
Hey Jamesw, I see LoB beat me to the punch here.
I do not believe that proposing to restart the Ambassador Program was what lost me the election, and that's the only real "tried and failed" policy I wanted to reinstate.
There were a number of factors that culminated in my loss.
Max was incredibly active in the media, publishing consistently fantastic articles. He also has quite a bit more government experience than myself, as well as the knowledge of an old player. Everyone knew Max could do the job, I was an uncertainty. He was the sensible choice.
I believe that I've now proven I'm fully capable of holding the title. But I've said as much in the article.
With me as CP we'll see an end to the conflict with France, a fight not worth it for either side. We'll regain control of our finances and put in place more security to make sure they don't fall into the hands of another MTO, and then make sure our tax is at a sustainable level that doesn't hurt our businesses.
We'll attempt to renew our 10/10 bonuses with Norway, and for those that will inevitably call for war, there will be TP battles that won't tank our economy. We already have options in this regard.
options which won't come back to bite us in ass might I add 😛

All the UKRP rubbish in this article is off putting, but voted and endorsed. You've had a great term. Good luck!
You can't deny the logo is damn good looking.
Cheers mate.

Pretty much ran the UK this month and fully deserves a shot at CP.
Did he?
Radio personality?
Part-time.
my mistake
Fata is one of the few who know the real problems eUK faces...
sorry who are you?
A hero and a patriot...
others claim you to be a fool and traitor
Then they are sadly mistaken, for I am a hero and a patriot! My record speaks for it's self...
It's weird, BigAnt has the same view that he's some sort of eUK hero. Perhaps its a delusional condition that effects everyone that steals money from a country. Maybe you, BigAnt, Chewy and JamesW can start up some sort of support group to help each through it...
I think you've missed a few names
SLAY
Love you long time
Gali4PP!
I have always admired those who quietly get on and get things done - the Scarfar/Fataliix tag team have certainly performed what seemed impossible 2 weeks ago!
Gentlemen - well done!
You have my support in the follow through!
not to be a pain but some of it sounds like the conservatives current political in the UK haha
you have my congressional endorsement 🙂
WHERES YOUR CABINET YOOOO
I'm bringing the UKRP drinks cabinet with me.
...Don't tell them, they might drop my candidacy.
Fataliix4CP no doubt
good luck
When you say new friendships... I hope you are not talking about being half anti asteria and half pro asteria again...
I can safely say that I'm not. That would dash any hopes of rebuilding relationships with our friends.
I have full faith and confidence in your ability to lead the UK. o7
