[Wook4CP] Give a hairy chap a chance...

What would WookieO do?

The eUnited Kingdom for the last few years has been a conflict of opposing groups. Our politics is cut-throat and often quite dirty. Hypocrisy is rife amongst each and every one of the various political parties and the wannabe revolutionaries. We stand divided, with lines drawn according to tribalism, ideology and everything under the Sun - from accusations of conspiracy to cheating. It’s a state of affairs that many are unhappy with and every side calls out for change and compromise.

Now to add insult to injury, ChewChewShoe was voted in against good advice from the Dental Corps, my own party The Skatalites and of course from his opponent in the election, Invalidation, and the party he represented, TUP.

The now disgraced ChewChewShoe realised he couldn’t run the eUK. He was drowning in fact. It takes someone with a stronger grip on their faculties, someone who’s happy to get stuck in with the people, someone who perhaps needs six hair stylists just to leave the house to run this great nation. Yes, eUK...it takes a WookieO.

That is why I am throwing my hat into the race for Country President this month.

More choice at the ballot box can only be a good thing and I hope you, yes you...you lovely eUK voter, recognise that I can guide this nation in the right direction.


Yes, it’s one way...the right way.

The fact is that despite all our differences, however bitter and however heated, everyone here wants the best for the country. From the 'evil' Iain Keers to the 'power-crabbing' BigAnt, we all want eUK to succeed no matter what wild motives we imagine our hated internal enemies have.

What the trouble stems from is not conflicting aims. It’s that everyone is apparently an absolutist, their ideas are the only valid ones and nobody else can possibly be correct because there is just the one path to glory! This trouble is compounded by a belief that most people seem to share – the belief that everything involving the eUK is the responsibility of the current government.

Well I, like others before me (!), say no group needs to radically change or compromise to the point of degradation.




I want to see an eUK boiling over with competition between every group with the will to do what it thinks is right! It’s what we're suited to, it’s what is best for our younger generation and best for ourselves. So what if the elected government isn't using your policies, enact them yourselves. A surprising amount of things can be achieved even without a pixel title.

The obstacle here is first and foremost laziness and a willingness to take the path of least resistance. Why bother to feed yourself when the spoon is already being guided into your mouth… Why learn about alliances and other countries when there's a guy who knows a guy already... Why work out where your damage is needed and when, if you can dump it all in the first battle you see..


Think about where you dump!

What someone needs to do is step back and leave people to make decisions and make mistakes. I want to see people taking their fate into their own hands. Let’s not have monolithic ministries to do everything, let’s have all these competing groups with all their different ideas striving to enact them at once.

We'd soon find there are now multiple NHS-type organisations, each trying to provide a better supply than the next! Now we have multiple ways our young players are introduced to the game, each with its own slant or specialisation!

What if people use this for political gain?! They already have, already do, and will continue to do so... It’s pointless to deny it, let’s encourage it. Players will be more motivated to provide the best service they can if they have a personal interest as well as a national one!

All someone needs to do is legitimise and even encourage the de facto eUK gameplay.



So I thought: what if I stood up to do what's necessary. I can't rely on anyone else to do what I think is right.


I’m not going to cut your head off…not yet anyhow…

This is the attitude I want to see everyone take. Don't rely on anyone else to do what you think needs to be done – just get on with it, no matter what anyone else says!

A WookieO term would see the eUK embrace the following:

* A scaling down of unnecessary government ministries to skeleton staff
* Encourage responsibility – not welfare
* The knowledge that internal conflict exists and we 'secretly' love it
* Information to the public from many sources
* Allowing our conflict to be our competition
* Give fun a chance

Stay tuned to learn about what I will aim to do so we can achieve all this and more...

WookieO for eUK Country President, 5th January 2014!
