[TUP] Congress elections

Day 3,196, 08:54 Published in United Kingdom France by Hell The Great


Ohhi. So after the removal of some suspicious votes, I was ultimately crowned Party President, and have since then been working around getting a team in place. It's already been a couple of days and on the whole things are looking rather nicely. At the same time, we as a group have been discussing the direction the party will take, and we have come to a consensus relating to a manifesto for this month's congress elections.

Thanks to everyone who took part in those discussions and I appreciate the added pressure of working to such a tight deadline, suffice to say we can avoid such things in the future thanks to my commitment to run Conference in the coming days.

The main reason I'm posting this article, however, is simply to remind all members that the congress elections are coming up on the 25th. To ensure you have a chance at being selecting, you must confirm your candidacy by the 23rd of August, at which time new nominations will be automatically locked out by the game.

Over the last few months we've won more congress seats than the number of candidates we've had, so please don't waste this opportunity to get a seat at the discussion table. Congress will potentially be going through changes, but it is still, and always will be, a useful way for people to get experience of government!

Once Conference is up and running it will sow the seeds of policy for the coming months, but to ensure that we need you, the great members of TUP to ensure your voices are heard. Take part. Share what you think. Offer alternatives, ensure that the next group of people who signup, have a reason to stick around.

As well as Conference, you are more than welcome to get involved in Council this month too! The council is basically the group chosen by PPs to help with the running of the party, and membership is always available to any active players. You don't need to put in hours a day, just be in the message and offer feedback on proposals and suggestions, pitch in with some light messaging here and there, nothing huge! Drop me a PM if you feel you can spare a bit of time every day, and I'll be more than happy to add you to our group messages.


FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY as with all TUP articles this month, TUP members can sign in below for their drop of Q7 weapons. You know the drill guys!
