[Appleby] A challenger appears

Day 1,135, 11:09 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Sir Humphrey Appleby


Good evening Britain!

In just less than a week; we shall once again have the mystical Country President elections, where the great political titans of the eUK battle it out for the grand title of Prime Minister.

Happily, those of you that know me will know my sense of humour trumps everything else, so this election should be a lot more entertaining than what the opposition might’ve hoped for.

As of such, my Deputy Prime Ministerial candidate will be significantly more serious, and also be named Daniel Thorrold. He has proven he is a thoroughly reliable, hardworking and immensely knowledgeable figurehead of British politics, and is infinitely suited to help manage things in the topper ranks of government.


A surprised cat

Additionally, you apparently need a lot of experience to become a successful Prime Minister. Our combined record boasts the following formidable retinue of traits and skills:-

2x Deputy Prime Minister
1x Minister of Foreign Affairs,
1x Minister of Trade,
2x Minister of Home Affairs,
3x Cabinet Secretary,
5x Party President,
14x Congress Member
Founding Members of Aspect,
Major-General of the Home Guard (British Army),
Lt. Colonel of the First Regiment (AAC),


I have generally found I work much better in managerial roles, as my username might suggest, and the amount of time and effort I’m willing to invest into this presidency is considerable. I hope to bring a new philosophy and consideration into British governmental work and hope you will enjoy my manifestos coming out in the run up to be of significant interest.

Thorrold and I are very happy to be able to stand before you with our policies and innovative changes; and continue a strong working government to meet the needs and interests of our citizens. I shall be opening Cabinet applications shortly if you wish to participate in our potential government.

I hope you’re all well, and recovering from the Christmas break!

MANDATORY JOKE: The government really are a sneaky bunch. They raise the tax on alcohol, then make sure that the country is in such a mess that you have to drink more.
