Mr President.... WHERE ARE YOU!?!!??
Auggustus
I find it amazing that this is the second time as country president that we have heard nothing from you! We have heard nothing from you.We the citiczens therefore ask, Where are you Mr President Thomas Red?
We are hearing the outcry of citizens regarding the way the country is being run and yet we hear nothing from Thomas Red. Not even one article in the last 8 days!
I would expect that as president we would be hearing your voice over the rest! The presidential voice is powerful yet it remains mute when our country is on the verge of crisis.
I have ever heard one citizen say that the only time when we hear him speak is when there is something positive to be said.
We are asked to have trust in our government but how can there be trust when we hear nothing.
We are currently a country that resembles a chicken with no head. (The internal bickering would represent the blood that is rushing out of its neck).
A president should be there with a voice regarding a plan on the future of the nation and not be communicating with certain individuals in the government through backdoor politics.
A president should be there to guide our citizens through the treacherous waters and bring us to safety. And yet we have been drifting to the center of a hurricane ready to be swept up again in the turmoil that many of us see in the future.
I may sound very pessimistic at the moment to some people. But I believe I must speak out when then optimist in me says, "Hey it could be worse!"
We would like to hear from you, ThomasRed, and what your plan is for the future of the United Netherlands... that is if you can be found first.

He is sometimes on IRC. Actually he helped me some times tuesday, and I saw him since.
So he is here, probably acting somewhere we can't see him.
Yeah, I saw him yesterday on IRC.
Attacking I&W. On being against our union.
"A president should be there to guide our citizens through the treacherous waters and bring us to safety."
It almost seems that the writer of this article is a socialist. 😉
Maybe it is important to see what you can do for your nation, so that together we can do what can be done. We do not need leaders, we only need coordination. That we do as managers, ministers, generals, coaches, congress members and so, including a country president.
But I agree an article could help now. As I know he was thinking about it, but seeing the attacks on him and Olv007 I advised him not to write that fast an article. That advise was maybe wrong. I will write him to be fast with his article.
@Frerk: Not that strange that the presidents attacks I&W. I&W asked its members to give up Belgian citizenship, without consulting the other parties. We need Belgian citizenship, or does someone know how and has the means to win back Belgium without Belgian citizenships? To restore he union we need Belgian citizenships. Every loss of them is a setback.
Needless to say I&W was attacking the president.
Actually they consulted other parties before doing that. During the PP meeting. If my memory isn't too bad😁.
As what I know the party president of I&W consulted the other parties to not vote tactically in the United Netherlands and to find about 3 members of each party to stand for elections in Belgium.
What I&W did, was asking their members to give up Belgian citizenship. The last thing I&W did without consultation with the other parties.
"It almost seems that the writer of this article is a socialist. 😉"
Cocoamok, I do not care of your accusation of me being a socialist! That is something I am not and I do not appreciate being called as such! I find that such name calling is the LOWEST form of politics!
But Cocoamok how can I be part of a regime that is running this country into the ground with such efficiency as yours? It is something where we as I&W have warned of two months ago when the coalition took place.
Furthermore how can I contribute, or for that matter the I&W minister of defense AndreasIsaksson, when everything is decided behind closed doors. There is no transparency in your administration. No common voice. You ask yourself why there is no confidence in the governement when you yourself hav started a vote of no confidence against your OWN government. That is not a sign of stability
The function of the president is that! It is not socialistic. Its the job of the president to guide a country to lead it! Currently we are leaderless!
I&W are leaving Belgium because we won't allow for our country to be run its current course of Titanic proportions!
@ Cocoamok: Seeing that we were the only party to actually do something with regards to Belgium, I find it laughable when your party did little or nothing to coordinate an effort to save Belgium.
I&W always took the lead in Belgium. Not to government, not LSD, not BP, not anyone else. Now we simply are doing what the other parties have been doing all along. We arent abandoning the union or Belgium. We want Brussels and Flanders back to UNL and we see no other choice to achieve this then to get things organized back home. We have had to many administration that didnt do anything. To many calls for union and a unity government and BP and LSD ignoring it. It is time for change and we intend to bring that.
what a blablabla in the comments.
There is just one question going arround for a few days:
INFO! INFO? INFO!?
And we all know that Thomas can give some.
I must agree with Mitch on this one. The call was, if I remember correctly, to focus on Belgium while giving all the Dutch parties a change to let their voices be heard, even though they may loose a lot of seats spend on anti-PTO. As a result, I&W lost a lot of votes, and was only to be a normal opposition party. I don't know if I&W has experienced this the same, but the BP formateur kravennn did not even give GLD the chánge to negotiate a coalition.
It's a deep shame I&W retreats from the Belgium political front. But I deeply understand it. This just shows our Union isn't strong enough to handle with international affairs. And if the President really attacked a sole party on this, I think this would only seek to harm the Unity even more.
Now we simply are doing what the other parties have been doing all along : you have 50 % of you member in occupied area?
Other parties have loose Flanders?

Haha, funny picture Auggustus. How did you make it?
@Auggustus: Read again:
"It almost seems that the writer of this article is a socialist. 😉"
Are you being accused being a socialist?
You sai😛 "But Cocoamok how can I be part of a regime that is running this country into the ground with such efficiency as yours?"
Thanks for telling me that. We will see how well your regime will do with loosing NLG with high wages so all can buy Q3 food.
And to others: Thanks for telling that other parties did nothing. At least I will never help any one that is telling such a lie. I contributed a lot of time on the Belgian issue, but maybe that is not enough. Indeed Mitch Rapp you are right, I&W took the lead in this. But it did not do all, it even neglected a lot. Sad!
@ cocamok: You know as well a i do that it is a vieled attempt at insulting me. Please do not make assults on peoples character.
Even if I were a socialist (which i am not, I am a liberal) would that have mattered. The basic answer is no and by labeling people you have turned to mud slinging. Attacks on ones character. The lowest form of politics.
Furthermor eyou are posting now about the CAO a plan which I still disagree with on certain elements. Its sad how you are looking at the past to make claims on our furture.
However I am staritng ptop believe the current policies are with regard to be destructive to be constructive. However your governement lacks the alternative with regards to our nations security!
Furthermore I&W did set an example and did not take part in strategic voting last elecitions as wqas the casse with lsd and BP. Just goes to show how these parties fail to act on their promises.
@ Thomas Fairfax: Windows paint does wonders 😛
