[Artela] If at first you don’t succeed...

Day 1,223, 15:35 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Artela





Once again I am presenting myself as a candidate to stand for the job of Prime Minister for the UK. I consider that in these early days within the TERRA alliance we need someone who is able to explore all the available opportunities presented to the country to cement the new relationships we have already been forging within in the alliance, but while also having fun back at home and if at all possible trying to expand the range of resources available to us. We need, at this time, someone with strong military leadership credentials, and no-one else at this time offers more experience from the highest levels of the UK military, and also now with the added contacts and friendships forged from within the command structure of TERRA HQ.




I am a big believer in finding out the views of the general populus, not just those who use the forums, and so I will be encouraging more active participation from citizens in providing feedback using the new referendum tool. It is important that some of the big decisions are made bearing in mind the views of everyone those decisions affect - new citizens have as much opinion to offer as those with multiple political terms under their belts, and often newer citizens have a unique perspective not understood or considered by those who have been around a long time. I also passionately believe in trying to help each citizen help themselves through education and by using the in-game mechanisms wherever that is possible to achieve this.




Despite being eYoung I rose quickly in eRepublik and I have thrown myself into many areas: Politics - Business - Military. As well as the vast military experience, other recent experience has included being involved in Foreign Affairs discussions, helping the previous PM with anti-ATO measures in Congress elections, and helping to lead the TERRA alliance in its formative time.

Now follows the customary summary list of my official positions held so far

1 x Permanent Secretary
3 x Minister of Defence
1 x Chief of the General Staff
4 x Congress member
co-founder and PP of ESO
founder and 3 x PP of TRD
Manager of Celtic Connections
Extensive Military Command Positions from V1 to present
Supreme Commander TERRA

As you can see, I have a lot of military experience, including at government level, as well as extensive business and party experience and international contacts. I think this makes me a well-rounded candidate worthy of your consideration.

I will release more details on my policies during the coming week, when I will issue across three articles polices on Home Affairs, Foreign and Military Affairs, and The Rest; however, even before they are issued I welcome feedback from you, the voters, on any current affairs issues that you have opinions on. I hope this intention to stand summary has given you enough insight into the type of candidate I will be, and I look forward to hearing from you.

All the best
