The Belgium Unity Government
A Vegan
A Government of National Unity!
We are in need of a government of national unity! All parties should be represented and maybe even more importantly all strong eBelgiums should make a stance! eBelgium needs all his strong players fighting for the same eBelgium whatever our difference were in the past.
For that I would like to offer our old presidents like Thore, Theneka, MaryamQ and ThomasRed an active part in this government of national unity.
Also regulars like Sammy, Critically, Glenn, NLSP, Xgentis, Vulcain, LvL and Thomas should be part of it and if possible giants like Aldous and touchdown_thomas.
Even a forum admin like Meldroke could help us become a true unified nation!
That however doesn't mean that young blood is forbidden, just as I want also the young players to be active in the community, they are welcome in this government.
And shame on me for not mentioning all candidates...
I am proposing 15 Ministers (with 3 or more vice-presidents) and some deputy ministers. To bring unity in eBelgium and fight off the foreign threat!
Together we will stand!

Seems like a good candidate!
Voted from ISD (eArg)!

Voted! I like your ideas very much, most especially the Ministry of Culture. 😉
This is a very ambitious government plan!
I think unity is a great goal to aim for and I really admire your ambition, but I must admit I am a little skeptical about your proposed strategy. Such enormous and all-inclusive governments always look good on paper, but in practice they rarely work out the way they are supposed to (at least in smaller communities like Belgium). In my experience it usually works better to have a relatively small, well-oiled and highly dependable circle of head ministers who know how to get things done. As long as you demonstrate competency, good judgment, transparency and respect for congress as a CP, unity should follow regardless of the size of your cabinet.
Either way, good luck on your election campaign!
There is a lot of very interesting ideas and propositions in your plattform. I should say that it's very promising, even if there are maybe a little bit to many Ministry functions.
Best of luck.
I have to agree with Stilpo on this one. Belgium is already quite a small country, having to much ministers will only give them to few work to do and will make them inactive.
Anyway
Nice job Vegan
agreed and voted!
that's a huge government. Too huge to work well imho.
"I am proposing 15 Ministers (with 3 or more vice-presidents) and some deputy ministers."
Your government will have more members than the Belgian Army! 😛
Did you already contacted any of the people you named in your articles, because some won't be available...
So my question is : if you're elected, on the 6th January, who will be your ~20 government members ?
indeed, it's too much.
Maybe you should combine some ministers for 1 person?
Looks like a mexican army, I suggest you to have at least an uMinister for each ministry, and each ministry must have at least an advisor and of course, one different people for each post. MOAR bureaucracy !!!!
+1 Kravenn 🙂 Though the idea is, as always great 🙂
Well, this certainly can not be called a modest proposal ... and 'it is a good thing' [as Martha says when she is not in jail]
With regard to "usually works better to have a relatively small, well-oiled and highly dependable circle of head ministers who know how to ..." - sometimes too much efficiency makes people feel shut out [that may or may not be justified - but then, feelings are not always logical]
If in fact, it turns out to have more members than the eBE army, then we'll draft the minsters into the army. lol
If this comes to pass, I will contact the appropriate minister to volunteer my services in sneaking about, peering around corners and informing against anti-FERMI elements.
Voted. Good luck!
Rage quit lol
