Cabinet For a Day
Dishmcds
This is the last update you'll see for the next two days or so, but I wanted to get Cabinet out there so you know who is in our three day experiment (or more, if we're lucky!). So, we'll keep this as short and sweet as I can. I'm putting their nicks here if they are presented on our in game politics page. Just so you're aware, as it seems much more covfefe that way.
Prime Minister
He's been out a while, but you're probably asking why I would put a dirty commie in the Cabinet. While I ask myself the same thing at times, know that he's capable, active, and wants to help. He's also quite calm, which is the Yin to my Yang. If I'm not here, he'll stand in, and stand up. Ladies and gentleman, I give you Sir Rex Fleddington.
Minister of Foreign Affairs
I want you to know that I hear your displeasure with Apples. I hear that you want him banished to all eternity. You're out for blood. Well, I listen. I have given Apples assignment in the Falklands. He's going to lead our Foreign Affairs team, dealing directly with Foreign Dignitaries for the month, from a little estate on the beach. You literally don't have to talk to him at all. If that isn't giving "the people" (rea😛
the opposition) what they want, I am not sure what is. He'll also be assisted by deputies Raw Ability and King Charles III.
Minister of Defence
While I have three spots here, one remains open. The other two will be filled by Garth, who is a real life doctor, and Sambo223, who is a preacher. Right now, we're just looking for that third wooden cross on the right side of the highway, so if you're interested, please let me know.
Alliance Attaché
So, if I'm looking for someone who I think is smart, and can read between the lines, and is "all in" for the UK even when he's not happy? Let's introduce Wayne here. Wayne is a former CP, and is knowledge in most affairs Erep. He'll be reporting to me, working with Orion. Isn't that something to be made to be #thebestdayofyourlife?
Shadow Prime Minister
Since it's working so well, I've asked Rob to continue to play the role of Speaker. He's more or less unaffiliated in a lot of ways, and has been very good at maintaining communication with all sides of Congress. I'd like to keep that up, and frankly I like the idea of someone a bit more impartial than "working for me" doing it. So, he's working alongside, for Congress, to keep you informed. So, there's that, although I'm certain Congress will still find something to not like about it.
Minister of Education
Madeline is going to take up the mantle here. She's already run the NHS for what seems like a lifetime, and helped more than her fair share of new players. To me it's a perfect fit.
Director of Belgian Affairs
Well, no, not really, but I like to have fun, too, so you're going to have Mittekemuis to answer to. Don't make her mad, Belgium.
Minister of Finance
Thatcher will be returnin.....wait. Bombs, no. Oh, right. It's the other eternal MoF who does such an awesome job you'd not need to replace him, Huey George. That's the guy.
Summary
So, in Cabinet we've got Appleby on an island, Wayne, a Belgian, a dirty commie, TUP, UKPP, UKRP, and WRP. I'm not sure how much more diverse it can really be, but if you want a hand in, let me know.
Now, I promise to leave you alone for a few days, and we'll be working on getting our MPPs back in order, not proposing to leave our alliance every 24 hours, and hopefully also redoing the new citizen message. We will also be looking for five Martins, who like to be called the Martyers for short, as apparently there are openings for that in the UK as well.
As promised, here's the new pink house Apples is living in:
Until the next impeachment vote,

Impeach!

I guess now it's OK that evil dirty Wayne is in the government 😛
Someone has to wash the sandals. 😛

Oh Wayne
Hold on Chaz, I'll get that knife out of your back!
Some interesting choices here... I am not sure how this reasonably unexpected and unconventional line up will pan out - or how long this will last...
I will be watching Wayne with particular interest - if he can prove his worth as a member of eUK Government it will be an outstanding coup!
Let's try and give it a week before reaching for those Impeach buttons please!
Oh - and I would have expected to see Chaz somewhere in this lineup..?
I was expecting chaz to be MoD, probly the best MoD i have ever seen.
I would have asked him if I had any contact with him, and he's still more than welcome. I had originally thought to have him as the third.
Genuinely the only problem here is that the style of government I wished to implement is at odds with this one. I wanted to change the way the MoD operates and ultimately thought the MoFA department should be absorbed by the MoD/CP.
Not an issue with Dish at all, but it's holding my hands up and conceding I can't operate with this governance.
(And ta very much Frag, it's actually something you said a few years back that made me look at different approaches to the MoD)
@Chaz: I can respect that. I do keep the MoFA, but I do not use them perhaps the way you think though. The MoFA has nothing to do with battles for me, which is part of why I tasked to making it three people trying to do one big job rather than 1 person getting crapped on. If I ever needed damage, to be perfectly honest, I'd never bother asking my MoFA unless the MoFA is the best tank I had.
Think of me as Nigel Farage and Orion as the EU!
Rexy!
Miss you big boy 😉
Interesting choices. I hope they are not a lazy cabinet. I despise laziness.
