All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Good day WTPers,

As usual, WTP is having its congress primary. You, the voters, will be deciding who you want to represent you and your fellow partiers in congress.

Below is a quick assortment of their responses in the congress application sheet
My advice- Before voting, at least skim through this.
WTP members, you can use the forum to vote in the primaries. The thread is here;

Gervaz

Why do you want to be reelected ?
I think we did a good job.

From "Congress enquiry" (The Mike - Gervaz):
"[...] so..in general, personally I felt good, the older CM who realized that although being active and always reading threads I participate so little and sometimes encourage me to participate without fear of making mistakes because that's how I can increase my experience.
Obviously I tried to follow the advice of those with more experience than me and I'm still doing, in fact I noticed that you never stop learning new things. [...] So, in general I can say that the congress open my eyes on the world, I'm also U.S. ambassador to Italy as u can see (you can? lol) but this is a different thing: while the role of ambassador focuses on the specific country, in my case Italy, the role of the congress member is more complete.
I dont know how to explain so I'll say it in a few words: the congress made me realize that there is a very large community, you have to make actions to improve the situation of each and according to me, especially to help young people: if first I considered only my party, my nation with a "inside wiew" now I understand that everything is much "bigger" and the global community is the true heart of this game.
I hope I made it clear. [...] This is an hard question i will reply simply:
First of all we need to adjust the internal affairs, so the problem AFA and everything that is linked, I am not saying that we must eliminate the problem forever, I realize that it is impossible, but we must find a strategy to "eliminate" from the top5 the Party/Politicians TO but it must be a long-term strategy that can be used on other occasions also in the future.
Once this is done, we can proceed peacefully, in foreign policy.
For me this is the correct procedure that we must follow, but there could be many more directions all right. [...]"

Are you able or willing to use IRC ?
Yes, and I use IRC frequently.

Why should you be reelected ?
"From ""Congress enquiry"" (The Mike - Gervaz):
""I'm joining forums every day, i'm very active: I'm reading the posts every day and when I have something to say i say it. As you can see this is my first time in Congress and so I'm not writing a lot my ideas, I'm instead trying to understand very well how to behave in Congress but I'm also trying to write as much as possible in addition to limit myself to read the discussions."""

What positions or roles have you held in WTP? Do you hold any positions/roles at the moment?
I was in the shout team, now I'm simply a member.

What eUS past experience do you have in terms of positions, roles, experience..etc ?

Hale26

Why do you want to be reelected ?
I want to be relected mainly because I'm active. An active congressmen will be able to assist the whips in IES work, shout out to stop rogue proposals, participate in discussions, help in ATO..etc

Also, I'd like to have access to congress debates for Bill 1. Though it is not completely necessary, I'd naturally like it if I could see congress on the inside so I can implement Bill 1 fully 😁

Though again, congressional access is not necessary for that. It would help though.

Are you able or willing to use IRC ?
Yes, I'm able and willing to use IRC.

Why should you be reelected ?
As mentioned above, I'm an active player with relative writing skills and judgement skills. I believe I would be an asset to our party's cacaus and the nation, due to my ability to step in if something were to screw up. On top of that, I'm a guaranteed 12 CS passes for the ATO.

With a WW coming up, we need active congressmen. I would like to be one of them.



Serendipitous

Why do you want to be reelected ?
I do a good job.

Are you able or willing to use IRC ?
Yes

Why should you be reelected ?
