Congress Breakdown. ~ Lemonade Anyone?
Little Tony
Well Where to Start Today....
The Congressional and Presidential Elections are the most popular times of the month. Whether you're interested in Politics or not. You can’t help but reading over the buzz in the media, on how this guy is a thief, corrupted, illerirate, hipster (missing anything?)
How this party is gonna bring war,
This party is gonna restore peace within the borders
How its so and so’s fault all the cool cats left eCan.
However my favourite part of election day is looking back on the month that was and to see the progress that was made.
So What Did Happen?
-No War (Which is surprising given our track record and the position of our allies)
Portugal may have had a congress.
We could have acquired 2 new resources which would put us ahead of the USA production bonuses
I would like to go back to my first bullet. What will the fate of Colombia be
-Taxes were raised to 17% on VAT. Treasury has grown considerably since the 5% VAT we saw the last month.
-A variety of MPP’s were accepted out of confusion. eCanada has yet to set a new foreign policy. Which will be the topic on the floor come the 5th.
-Several failed Presidential Impeachments.
So when we look at each parties tenets. Did they fulfil their responsibilities as elected Congressional Representatives.
MDP/Coalition-
8 Tenets of the MDP
#1-Voices are only meant to be heard when asked to speak or they know what there talking about
#2-Leadership is pre-ordained and not open to democratic vote.
#3-Failure in leadership will lead to swift punishment from the military council.
#4-Congressman will operate upon the direction of the Party Dictator when ordered.
#5-Taxes will be used to fund the nations military units to help them acheive maximum efficency through programs aimed at both the MU and its members.
#6-Quarter will be neither asked for or given.
#7-Financial security and protection of the nations funds is priority one in govt.
#8-Actively pursue aggressive military campaigns upon following #7.
The Coalition has fulfilled their duty. We saw a attempt to NE Spain. Supported the tax hike for maximum funding. And Congressman have no doubt acted under a higher power.
The CPF held a large amount of seats this term and combined with Clan Wolf held a majority over the Coalition. Yet the CPF does not use this to their advantage.
Wally Cleaver could have been removed as CP.
Odd MPP’s could have been avoided
CPF’s Tenets
Our Seven Tenets:
1. Uphold the equality of all active Military Units
2. Make the accounting of government funding more open and important
4. To respect, recognize and uphold the supremacy of the mechanics of the game
5. Develop a positive political sphere
7. To encourage growth and stability to the eCanadian economy.
Overall the CPF followed it’s charter that it laid out.
We saw the eCanadian population continue to decline as well as a one of our closest ally got wiped.
Was there a chance to slow or prevent Portugals Wipe Yes? Would it have worked?
Well, we’ll never know.
Clan Wolf...
To be honest you got what you voted for. Basically a party for people who like the theme, and not interested in the CPF or coalition.
Several failed attempts at proposals.
As well as a failed rallied to Impeach Wally
Otherwise it would appear as Clan Wolf was a Yes Man this term.
The Lemon Party.
We are an Independent Party that speaks out against Sour Politics.
While few in numbers.
Our voice is heard by many.
And will continue to be heard as we take the first steps in climbing the political lader.
Across the board we have saw the Political Influence in eCanada decrease.
Summer has passed.
And so has the tyranny of the Coalition.
A new era has is beginning in eCanada.
The coalition is losing it’s Political Influence due to inactivity and their rash choices.
So it’s time someone steps up and begins to reclaim the Top 5 Spot.
The Lemon Party Plans to do just that.

Lemon Party in a Top 5 spot would be pretty sweet. And speaking of sour, I expected more of it in your assessment of all the parties. Everyone could have brought a better game this past month. I'm not sure anyone is shining through in the current lack of forward action we have lately.
But a very good breakdown of what went on over the last month. Thanks for pointing it out for the lackadaisacals like me.
~hyuu~
That's the MDP Charter from what I believe was April 2011. (Created before the Coalition, at this time MDP and Norsefire were distinct.) Many things have changed since then, and the MDP Charter hasn't been dusted off to be viewed until now. Methinks it's a time for a bit of party revision and regrouping that's long overdue.
omg,I can't believe you missed touching on one of the highlights of this month when you did the Tenet breakdown for the Coalition:
"#7Financial security and protection of the nations funds is priority one in govt"
f'n right! Wally done saved the whole treasury! And then when it was disbursed to the MUs, there were more loaves and Q7s than were mouths to feed. No doubt a miracle of that Palermo feller with the triangle hat thingy of the Holy Order. Yeah, bring more of that next month plz
Not really all that kind to my party, but a fair assessment. I am happy that I was able to keep the Clan Wolf train on the tracks, it did just lose its long time conductor. Anyway. We'll try harder next month and we are happy with the results of this election. It is validation to what we have fought for for weeks, which was the end of lulz politics and ending the Coalition's stranglehold on eCanadian politics. My party didn't win but we sure didn't contribute to a lose.
If Clan Wolf creates a charter and has something to run off of I will consider them as a strong political opponent. As of now your party acts as a vote split as does the other Coalition parties do to the MDP.
Point taken. And just let me say this, and I don't want to sound crass, but when/if your party ever reaches 5th party status, I will consider you a strong political opponent.
Great article.
:^)

Plugson... You jerk 😃.
The Coalition is weak. We must grab them by the throat and squeeze.
"Several failed attempts at proposals.
As well as a failed rallied to Impeach Wally"
Don't blame that on us. We proposed them we voted for them, CPF and coalition turned them down.
"As of now your party acts as a vote split..."
No vote split but inactivity of many of our members who haven't voted at all.
Clan Wolf gets a lot criticism and negativity directed at it, in part I believe because we are a newer party and we could do more to get our messages out.
We support, encourage and attempt to lead by example a civil political environment that respects other player’s point of view and work with other parties. Something a lot of us believe has been lacking in this current environment.
We believe all players regardless of activity level have a right to be fairly and equally represented in game and we take pride in being that voice.
We encourage the use of in game mechanics for communication and governance.
We prefer lower taxation with funds remaining with players and/or re-directed back to MUs so all players have generous opportunity to grow and level.
I have also personally found that Clan Wolf contains a very active and friendly group of players that are optimistic to support eCanada and help us all achieve greater things.
I believe many of these views are unique to our party, which is why we also have our own unique support base.
And if Clan Wolf was to adopt those views officially that would be the first steps in creating a strong party.
LT, we are in the process (albeit a slow one) of drafting a charter. Clan Wolf has been in a period of transition these last few weeks. We are no longer dominated by one person and as such we have been battling to stay relevant and find our voice.
Again, I have offended. So apologies go out to Venerable once more.
There is no Palermo in the Holy Order. I googled an old article and found out this:
Unity.
-That which binds. One Faith. One Purpose. One Direction.
-Birthed by Mitos, given voice through his Prophet.
-Faith is Obedience. Disloyalty is Heresy.
Power
-That which strengthens. Will. Force. Resolve.
-Awarded by Disarys, characterized by his Sword.
-Reforged through Faith, we are Unbeatable.
Glory
-That which is earned. Prestige. Courage. Eminence.
-Given by Palaero, illuminated by his Light.
-Renowned in our Faith, we are Unfathomable.
Quoted from the article "[MDP] The Holy Order of MDP"

"there were more loaves and Q7s than were mouths to feed. No doubt a miracle of that Palermo feller"
I should have said "Palaero" not "Palermo" and I think that is the right divinity to call on because miracles are usuallty associated with Glory (I think).
The allusion made in the comment is to the "miracle of the five loaves and two fish" from another religion you may be familiar with as Christianity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_the_multitude
I am sorry if linking an RL religion to an eRep one offended anyone, especially Venerable, if that was the case of his reply. I am thankful Wally and Simon were able to recover the password to the Ministry of Finance Org. and disburse the money to the MUs. I may have over-exaggerated the amount distributed and the circumstances of said recovery/disbursal.
Also, I don't know if the Holy Order has mentioned whether or not members 'wear' hats, triangle ones or otherwise.
Oh, I wasn't offended at all, hence my lack of content defending my stance. I knew you were poking fun at Wally. All's well 😃.
Well that is a relief to hear. Guess it's safe to resume production on my article "Innocence of Holy Order."
Stay tuned. ; )
Of them all, the Lemon Party has (or had, I suppose) the best platform.
