i- election
You've decided to take your first steps in the political arena. The best way to do so is to run for Senate, which is also called Congress. To be eligible, you need to be level 12 or higher and be a member of one of the five largest parties.
To candidate, go to your party homepage between the 16th and 23rd of the month and click the Candidate button and you will be asked to provide a link to your presentation, which is called a manifesto exposing your views, plan and why people should vote for you. The president of your party will then decide who he will support in the Congress elections. There are a certain number of seats, determined by the number of regions in the country (more info). Wildcards are the aspiring politicians that didn't receive enough votes to make to Senate in their region, but have most votes amongst the non elected candidates in the country.
ii- laws

• Taxes to change taxes on a particular product. These include the VAT, the income and import taxes;
• Minimum wage to change the country minimum wage;
• President impeachment to remove the current president and have replace by the deputy president.

Hi
You don't need 2 gold to join a party or to run for Congress. You DO need 2 gold if you decide to run for Party President.
