Listhp & PCP need your vote in the West Midlands
•
by Listhp Tomptos
Hello to everyone in West Midlands and the rest of the UK,
I am happy to let everyone know that I will be running for congress again in this great region. This means that on April the 25th I will need your vote to secure my spot on congress. I am one of the most experienced people in our region and I hope that I can use my experience to better West Midlands and the UK.
There are many issues that matter to me but here are the most important ones:
NHS:
I was very happy to see that about a week ago an idea almost identical to the one I proposed in my previous manifesto passed in the House of Commons about 10 days ago. The Wellness Fast Program will mean that citizens can get at least one fight a month by getting tickets to a war zone where they will fight and then use hospitals to get their wellness close to 100.
War:
I still support the idea of a war, especially a training war, and seeing as we are in a better economic position now I believe that it is a good time to start considering this option. There would be many benefits of a war and if the negative effects can be controlled I would be happy for one to take place.
The problem with a war at home is that we have very few countries that we can attack. All but two of the countries we border are part of ATLANTIS. The other two are Ireland and France. Ireland is protected by the Raleigh treaty so it is unattackable and France has MPPs with some of eRepublik's biggest superpowers and they would crush us if we attacked them. This leaves the best and only option being MPP wars. To do this we need to get far more MPP with other countries and then fight alonside them in their wars. This has the advantage that there is no risk of part of eUK being taken.
Taxes and Trade:
When it comes to taxes and trade with other nations I still believe that trading with PEACE should be kept to an absolute minimum. They are our enemies and when we buy their products they are getting money that can be spent on weapons to capture regions from us. However I still support trade with other ATLANTIS countries and any neutral countries. If we don't trade with them gift and weapons companies will collapse and construction and moving ticket companies will struggle. For diamonds and iron I would like a 15% import tax.For wood and oil I would like 55% import tax, this means that local business will always be able to sell their products at a better price and they will continue to provide jobs for UK citizens but it also means that whenever these companies aren't producing enough we can still buy these products for a reasonable price.
As the Underminister for Trade I will also try to increase loans to companies so as they can afford to buy export licenses to UK. By giving them loans we can make sure that we get their products and they don't go elsewhere. We also earn a small profit from the interest charged on loans.
Forums:
I woud like to increase activity on the West Midlands forums so as more and more citizens are involved in running UK. So far there have been a few initiatives I started or helped. West Midlands Trivia Competition has been reasonably successful and I have also encouraged citizens to take part in Regional Wars.
So Why Vote for Me:
1. I am the most active person on the UK forums. Lord Justice is fairly good but TUP congressman hasn't posted once in anything since the start of her term. This means that since she was elected she has had absolutley no say in any of the laws as all laws are decided and voted on in forums so technically by voting for TUP your vote was completely worthless.
2. I am the only left-wing person standing in West Midlands.
3. I am one of the most experienced people in WM. I have been here almost half and during that time I have been heavily involved,. Some of my experiences include:
-I have fought in almost a dozen wars.
-I have been in the Royal Navy for a month.
-I have worked in The People's Commune for over a month. In the commune we are trying to show that communism can work in the game and so far it has been very successful.
-I have been in congress for a month.
If I do get into congress I plan to use the money to fund more trivia contests and other activities in the West Midlands forums. If you want to join just go here http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/index.php
Lastly I would like to put out a special thank you to everyone who voted for me or any other PCP candidate in any recent election. Your vote is much appreciated and will not be wasted.

"but TUP congressman hasn't posted once in anything since the start of her term. This means that since she was elected she has had absolutley no say in any of the laws as all laws are decided and voted on in forums so technically by voting for TUP your vote was completely worthless."
You can't blame TUP for this. All parties get the odd inactive candidate. I happen to know this months' candidate is committed.
I think that the people of the West Midlands should choose their MP based on the current candidate, and I can vouch for Sarah's commitment to the UK and to the democratic system which we work within.
A mere look at public discussion shows the huge contribution she has made to the debate- indeed more than many congress members. A vote for Sarah is a vote for a committed activist with a proven track record of fighting for the rights of individual citizens.
Iain Keers
TUP Leader
But if Ashley were going for re-election I would be against it. I wasn't directing this at any particular party though. I know that PCP has one (Victor Viera). That means in Scotland voting for PCP was completely worthless. But as I did not know who was running for TUP at the time I presumed that it was Ashley. Sarah Maren will (I believe) be a far better congressman then Ashley. I have nothing against TUP just inactives. I am sorry if anyone was offended by it.
