Congress Election: May have suffered a blow to the head and mild concussion.
Now that I have grabbed your attention

When I set up “The Elephant in the Room” its mission statement was to be an independent publication providing news and articles for eUK citizens, even though I had already joined the WRP. At the time it seemed quite easy to achieve i.e. if one political party gets some column space it is fair to say that other parties should also be granted the same privilege if they wish it. However as time goes by I have envisaged this will be quite difficult to maintain in the eyes of the eUK public. Certain aspects will always be easy to provide the air of impartiality but others as I will explain in the main reason for writing this article later on, will throw up possible problems further down the road. For the time being I will do my best to maintain the original ethos of the paper.

The Mission Statement.
What is this main reason?

Yesterday was a bit of an eventful day, I was discussing with a party member about an opportunity that would provide some valuable experience however late in the day I was contacted by another party member asking if I would consider running as a candidate in the upcoming Parliamentary Elections. To be frank I was quite reserved about it and didn’t really think the time was right for me to enter the lion’s den just yet but after a brief conversation and a little bit of thinking I decided I would throw my hat in to the ring and put my name down as a candidate. It of course doesn’t mean I will be elected in to the House of Commons but whatever happens I can only gain from the experience. From my brief time here I have picked up the vibe from people that the best strategy is to throw yourself in head first, see what happens, learn from your mistakes and keep trying. So this is what I plan to do. Of course trying to enter the world of politics will make it hard to keep the paper impartial as I will probably use it as my soapbox but in some ways I am already.

This is my practice lion I have been taming. Hope the real ones are just as tasty.
So what can you offer?

Firstly a bucket load of naivety, some would say that is a bad thing but if you don’t know the boundaries then it can spark a new perspective of thinking, basically a fresh set of eyes can see things differently.

(Just standing on my soapbox for this bit) A commitment to work really hard in building a better, stronger and fairer eUK for everyone. This ties in with the WRP ideology of looking to nurture new players, help them find their feet in the game so encouraging them to stay in the game and become part of the world. But also help existing players develop their skills and move through the ranks (I read way too many articles by other people).

Finally I will try my best and try to learn from my mistakes.

Couldn't resist this one.
Over and out

Once again that is it from me, hope you have enjoyed the article and made you laugh if not at my lame jokes but at the fact that the new kid on the block wants to run for Congress. Please comment, subscribe and etc. As I have given WRP a small mention in the article and its ideology, in the interests of independent journalism if another political party wishes to have a small mention about its ideology in future articles please let me know.

Bet you thought there wouldn't be a GIF in the article.
