Day 824, 22:37 Published in South Africa South Africa by LiquidIce

I will be running in congress for the next term on behalf of the Independent Alternatives and I will be running in the Northern Cape.

Why should you vote for me? Why should you join the IA?

This is your chance to stand up and make a difference. No matter your background, previous nationality, creed or views, join the IA and have your say in the destiny of this nation’s path. We have no place for bullshit in our party. What you see is what you get. We are currently the nations 2nd most popular party.
Mark Morcom, our country’s president for the past two terms, is a great asset the IA. He has taken this nation from strength to strength, earning respect throughout all aspects of this game. We are proud of all his achievements and his association with the IA.

This is what the our Party President, mulderpf is planning for the IA and eSA::

Activity levels

The activity levels of some of our members are already high compared to other parties. Most of us are involved in government and other government initiatives. I would like to keep it this way and see that IA congress members remain active. We need to come up with drives to ensure that our activity in congress and government remains high.

Party visibility

The IA brand is getting stronger and stronger, but I feel that we lack media coverage. The past month has been generally quiet for most parties, but I feel that more can be done to make the party more visible. I will achieve this in two ways - the first being more advertising. My advertising drive will not focus on the here and now, but instead, building a strong brand for the future. My advertising drives will be personally funded if I am elected.

In addition, I want to publish more articles that focus on the IA - at least 3 a week. These articles will focus mainly on the IA and help us with projecting a positive image to the rest of the world.

Increase in membership

We need to be a party that welcomes old and new players. Older, more experienced players seem to feel very welcome in the party. Retention of these people are key to the sustainability of the party as they have a wealth of knowledge to share. But, it doesn't help having this wealth of knowledge to share, if we have nobody to share it with. We need to focus on increasing our membership as well. This will be achieved not only by being much more visible, but also other drives to specifically get citizens on-board who are not part of any parties.

Coaching and development

We all have our own ambitions and we need to develop this fully. In order to also be a more welcoming party for younger citizens, we need to provide them with the opportunities to fulfil their ambitions, specifically on the political front.

Inter-party relations

I believe we have fairly good relationships with most parties and I would like to build on this and work on the areas and parties that need more attention. Being a party of very different individuals, means that we should be one of the parties that will have something in common with most other parties. I'd like to see some synergy between the parties to take eSA to the next level. For me it's all about unity between the parties rather than each to their own. It's been proven in the past that parties that work together are much stronger than parties who want to exist in isolation.

Party community

We need to focus more on our party members. I would personally like to know more about the people in our party and I'm sure so would you. This would integrate with my party visibility campaign by means of articles about our members.

Summary

All this seems like it would need a heck of a lot of organising and that we'll end up losing our "no bullshit" approach to politics if we have all this going on. I say, not true. Look at how well Remon managed to get things organised and done and we never lost the "no bullshit" feeling of the party. Our motto shouldn't be an excuse for laziness or for being disorganised. I believe we can be a highly organised party, but still keep the bullshit out.

These initiatives are here to build a solid base for the future of the party. By putting the right measures and infrastructure in place now, we can ensure a successful future for the IA.
Independent Alternative Mission Statement:

The Independent Alternative believes that people are the most important entity in politics. And as a group of diverse people coming together for a common goal, we believe in a NO BS approach to politics. This means that we are open about our motives, do what we promise to do and operate without hidden agendas. It also means we respect each other's opinions and invite a variety of people to our party in order to nurture critical thinking and a supportive space where everyone can voice their views.

When it comes to economics, we believe that Enoch should run the RBSA forever. We endeavour to be supportive of an economic environment that will promote the prosperity of all eSouth Africans, whether they be workers or company owners. The military is the backbone of our economy and should be fed regular training wars. We believe the military should operate independently from government with the president as the Commander-In-Chief.

Young players are the life blood of the community and we believe in nurturing them to become critical and intelligent leaders and members of the society. Independent Alternative aims to maintain excellent relations with our neighbours and allies, but asserts South Africa's supreme right to own its original regions.


I believe in what the IA stands for and I also believe in the voice of the people. Let me your voice be heard and make your opinion count, vote for me in the Northern Cape!

Thank you and hope to see you as a member soon!!
