Cabinet and other musings

Day 3,573, 03:36 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by wingfield

Fellow citizens

Around the 1st of the new month it is appropriate for presidential candidates to follow up their campaign announcements with Cabinet details and other policies.
The following people have accepted places in my Cabinet and I look forward to working with them:

Vice President (Prime Minister)

Cpt Chazbeard – an essential member of any Cabinet, will provide stability and direction even if I’m off in the clouds

Finance Minister

There is no one to whom I’d rather turn than Huey George

Foreign Minister

I’ve really grown to like Mittekemuis over her term as Country President and I look forward to her contribution as Foreign Minister in the coming term.

Defence Minister

Bamber is my choice in this role, ably supported by the peerless Rory Winterbourne II

Home Minister

Sir Rex Fleddington is my choice for helping out eUK citizens, whether new or old. We have talked through the issues from last term and have an understanding about the importance of this role.

Other cabinet roles

I am very keen on having my opponent Roachford in the Cabinet, reflecting my own respect for him and our history as long term MU colleagues.

Also in my cabinet will be my party Colleague Yurigavin, who modestly asks for some government experience, but convinced me in one term as WRP PP that he has what it takes.

Now for my musings as to where we are and what is going down.

An incoming CP is bound in many ways by what has gone before, I accept that things have been set up by my predecessor and that this binds my early days. Of course, I’ll do what needs to be done for anything set up before I take the reins. Where my program will bite is in what I set up for later.

My goal is in the long term. What I want is for our country is to kick ass somewhere in a context where we have been losing out in the past. We need to go into a contest as something better than a junior partner and we have to get something tangible out of it. That translates into serious gain from possessing enemy territory for long enough to earn revenue out of it.

Of course you can’t hold anything forever; what you do is benefit from the time you hold it.

There is also the reality that we have been dealing with some madness on recent events, I totally reject the sort of “banter” that drives away ordinary players, Plato has acted on this and I can’t disagree. People who support this are not my sort of players.

If people are bored with what we have to do to play normally or achieve our national aims, then sorry, why don’t they just go? We can do without them. If we want to achieve our long term goals, lets just put our heads down and work towards them.
