eUK Politicians vs the eUK Military

Day 823, 08:25 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Lemuel Gengulfus


It seems that once again, politics and the eUK’s military have not been working hand in hand. This is not the first time...

We saw a few months ago, a government hit by the Widdows theft saga – a high ranking military officer who felt that he had to hold the Government to ransom in order to compel them to listen to a dis-enfranchised majority within the armed forces.

Well lighting does strike twice – yet again the UK’s political elite have decided that the best course of action for this eNation lies in signing a peace treaty that means we have to cancel our MPP’s, leaving our allies who have given us so much recently, out in the cold. Now regardless of the merits of making peace with EDEN, the way in which this has been done is unacceptable.
It is not just the BEP and I that find this recent act a poor reflection on our country. Why else would large numbers of the eUK’s best soldiers be leaving the eUK to join the fight to liberate France if they did not agree that we owe PHOENIX a debt of gratitude, a debt of honour and a duty of friendship?

What this in our opinion shows is the long-standing and growing divide between the eUK political class and the rest of us! For a minority of eRepublik players, this game seems to be about using the eUK forums for hatching schemes, inventing legislation and creating coalitions to enable them to remain in power.

For the majority of the rest of us however, eRep is about conflict – about taking other nations head-on, levelling up and perhaps reaching that Field Marshall rank, doing as much damage as we can afford to. It’s about making friends & building an online community through organisations like the Navy, the SF and the now disbanded Royal Guard. Its NOT about pretending to be a virtual Tony Blair and creating dull forum legislation!!

MILITARY & POLITICS SHOULD GO HAND-IN-HAND

So here is our new message to the eUK. The British Empire Party is now committed to being the ONLY main party that stands up for what eRepublik truly is about – the conflict that is central to the game. We are the only top 5 party committed to being the voice of the military.

We have long stood for FUN, COMMUNITY & CONFLICT – as a result, some people may not taken us seriously. Well times are changing and so is the BEP – more and more military minded people are joining us every week to register their dissatisfaction.

If you feel that that this eNation’s “politicians” do not represent you, or if you would like to support our push to bridge the huge gap between ePolitics and the Military, join us – if you are abroad, then you can still come down to our private forum as we’d love to hear from you.
