Join the new world

This article is my manifesto for the August Party Presidential Elections in which I am standing as a candidate to lead my beloved UK Reform Party [UKRP].

PROS FOR UKRP MEMBERS

- I have served as PP before multiple times

- I knows EXACTLY what dates to press the buttons on

- I have learned PRECISELY which buttons not to press

- I shall write more relevant stuff at the right times than recent people

PROS FOR OTHER PLEBS

---

- I am not Appleby (much better looking)

- I shall run a balanced congress list of Congressional candidates ensuring that we maintain high levels of activity whilst making sure that we do not end up with total nutters in Congress.

- I guarantee that I will not go AWOL or fall asleep at the wrong moment

GENERAL PROS

---

- Can replace every instance of the word despacito in the song "despacito" with my name

Tequila!



I joined the bright New World of eRepublik on day 10 of it's existance - and have been here ever since. I have seen massive changes in the in-game mechanics and the constantly changing populations of our eWorld, but have always been able to harvest enough fun and satisfaction from the proceedings to keep me going.

I have served as a member of the UKRP ever since it's inception (never been in any other political party) and have served as a member of Congress somewhere in the order of 65 times (in case you are wondering about the medal count - the concept of 'medals' was introduced into the game about a year and a half after it started).

Last term I stood aside to allow my wonderfully hairy friend WookieO to fill the PP position, but this term I am not going to do so.

The role of the Party President is an important one; he (or she) has two main tasks to complete. The first (and most obvious) of these is the selection of the Party Batting Order in the Congressional Elections; with the current 'simplified' election process, the electorate simply vote for the Party and not the individual candidates, so the batting order effectively controls *who* makes it into Congress and who does not. Ensuring that we achieve the optimum mix of Members of Congress is really important; we need a good spread of active and responsible individuals who will conduct their Congressional Duties dilligently and effectively. It is also very important not to MISS OUT key members of the team as this can have a considerable effect on our Team morale and dynamic.

The second, (and slightly less obvious) duty of the Party President is to promote and maintain the Party. This involves attracting new party members, growing them within the Party and getting them into positions where they can best use their talents, whilst maintaining the morale and cohesion of the rest of the Party Faithful. Alongside this, the Party President has to forge and maintain relationships with other Partiess (particularly when in 'opposition' configuration).


My position in Government has always been one of cooperative management where *all* Party Members and eUK citizens are important. I am not a great believer in inter-Party flaming or insults; my experience is that collectively we can achieve better results by working together rather than chucking bricks at each other!

In my last term as PP, we had both CptChazbeard and Prince Harry as UKRP members - and even ran Harry (successfully) as Country President - a role in which he acquitted himself well! In less that the space of a month, both of these hugely talented players left the UKRP to join the erstwhile 'opposition' - which in turn ultimately led to the impeachment of both of our last two UKRP Country Presidents...

What the UKRP needs now is a wise and inclusive PP who listens and reacts to the needs and aspirations of Party Members. By making surethat nobody gets left out and that we put the best people forward to fill Governemt posts, we should be able to operate a rewarding (and exciting) eUK from which we can all harvest a load of excitement and satisfaction!
