I am going to run for congress.

Day 667, 13:10 Published in United Kingdom Singapore by Tortea

I, Tortea the official Unity party candidate have placed my congress candidature, to become a congressman for the region of Scotland, following Malta_1990, in this article i will explain what i am planning to do and achive in the next month and my qualifications and a short video.

A Little about me:

In my really life I am a male, i do a lot of skiing Mountain Biking and i am a 4star BCU kayaker (mainly on river and sea) I live in the north of Scotland but i also do speak Finnish, now a bit about erepublik....
When i first joined erepublik i joined i have to admit that i was a 2clicker, but now i am much much, much more than that and i fully understand the game, and have become very active on the forums both in the eUK and eSoumi, after i joined after about a month i moved to Finland, because of the Scotland Hungary war, then i moved to NI for a short time before moving back,
in that time I have become UK Ambassador to Finland,Sub-Zero Editor,Domestic Trade Apprentice, Ministry of Home Affairs Apprentice X2, a very active TUP(The Unity Party) Member, Chief officer of Kayaking(Navy), Captain of Scotland for the regional wars and the Minister for unnecessary forums,i have also been in the Royal Guard and i am a leader of a clan in Scotland and I am active on the IRC.
I run a newspaper called sub-zero which is non-profit but employs about 12 people now, If you think you would be interested in joining, jut ask, but now enough about me, What am i going to do?


I am always active, so if you have anything you would like to see happening or you want to help in anyway just ask, PM, email me or if you have skype i wouldn't mind adding you on it,

What i hope to achieve in one term is using my congress gold to get more people and drum up activity in Scotland, Fourms and the Clan Council which i hope me and Malta and other very active people on the Scotland Forums can get running and help everyone in Scotland, through health, entertainment and if you want to see the clan council doing something more its up to you!
You have to get on the fourms and join a clan and contribute anything you want, and i can promise that your idea will not be thrown away.
I would really like to get a eeUKBC which is like the BBC going, it would be funded on the niceness of people(but started up by me), so once a term if you read the newspaper or listen to the podcasts (eUKBC radio 1) or watch the videos (eUKBC channel 1) you donate 2GBP once a term, and if you would like to help in music editing, video editing, image editing or just plain talking on a conference on skype just tell me, to start getting it going I would use my own gold.
But I would do the bulk of the work, I am nearly done a video which hopefully will drum up activity for the whole erepublik, I am going to put more information about the eUKBC at a later date, but I can promise you now, that i will never come to scotland to "take the easy chair" or vote, but because I CARE and I will do the best for Scotland in anyway I see fit, even if it means jumping off a cliff.

I would also help any new people in game at all, and help them jump to the forums where everything does happen, and if they needed any help it would do my best to help them in anyway possible.

Video-


But most importantly i WILL listen to you, whatever your views are on anything, i WILL get back to you with the best of my ability and listen to whatever you have to say, and i WILL try my best to do it if it is a good idea.

Thanks for reading this.

Please vote for Tortea for the Scottish Congressman

Tortea

End of part one








Other information that you MIGHT want to read but don't have too.

In this I hope to take a fair view of this, I wish everyone the best of luck,but I would like to show potential flaws in other people manifestos, I really hope not to offend anyone in the next passage


IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH PM'ing OR NEEDS A MOVING TICKET TO COME AND VOTE FOR ME JUST ASK!!

Why not/to vote for WIllis111
- " I would do what’s best for you, improving the economy would mean the GBP would be stronger, this would make it easy to get foreign currencies, with wich we could by Q5 hospitals and defence systems cheaply"

We already have a Q5 Hospital 🙂

-"I believe that all our regions should have a Q5 hospital, and a Q1 defence system at least."

Q1 DS = Failage why do we need it? If you are going to get a DS Do not get a Q1, over a Q3 at least, Q1's to so very little.

This guy even though he has now removed it from his article, said that we needed a higher minimum wage, which is also failage, any person active on the forums would know this, if you need any moneys just ask me and im sure i can get you a loan.

Just to start can i read you the comments?

"The staple item that everyone buys is food and that is suffering the biggest VAT cut. You need only one piece of food a day so that means the government revenue lost is absolutely irretrievable - price cuts won't mean people will buy more food.

Add to this the the fact that GM's are allegedly already unhappy with the price of goods. On that basis, I consider it extremely unlikely that any of this VAT cut will be passed onto the consumer or workers. This cut serves no-one but GM's - one of the narrowest, smallest sections of eUK society. It is literally handing government revenue straight into the hands of a small minority of private citizens where it will be squandered and misused.

It's bad for Scotland, it's bad for the rest of the UK ."

"The last time you show yerself here, http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/viewforum.[..]f=23

was 23rd of July, so why the hell should we in scotland waste our votes on you. We actualy have a community in scotland now check it out you might even meet some of the people you so claim want to represent !"

"Re-institution of the House of Lords"

I see nothing against this, but its going to happen anyway, but it just won't be like the last time.
He also says that

" I have come to realise that the House of Lords is critical to the UK's success. Without it, Commons has near-free reign over the nation's legislation."

Not true, House of Commons can vote anything they want through, but it might take longer if the HoL don't agree, but only by a few days.


"Another election is upon us, and it's become quite evident that Congress has no idea what its doing.

Do i really have to explain??

"JOIN A CLAN. Get involved in Scotland."

Malta_1990

Well its malta we are talking about here, his words are like a bible.


"As a voter in this region, I have a right to a public democratic voice. You mention nothing about regional affairs. Foreign Affairs is only one slice of the pie."

Malta_1990

KaisKais was not in Scotland when he applied to be congressman for the area, and never had been on our forums.
