More of congress, region renting, and the man I pick
Bill Forder
Well today I have a lot of stuff to write about, thank you to everyone who voted my article yesterday, if I offended anyone I am sorry, but I am not sorry that I wrote that article, it really needed to be said.
Since the record has already been made public:
AR1ARX(CPF; Still in office)
Muglack(CPF; No longer in office)
ljsilver(DAL; Still in office)
Citizen B(DAL; Still in office)
Xzar(CPF; No longer in office)
Trenton Rendell(CPF; No longer in office)
Ralph Kline(CPP; No longer in office)
nucksalltheway(DAL; No longer in office)
panda_drew(EPIC; No longer in office)
WolfGang III(DAL; No longer in office)
RaynerCorp(CPF; No longer in office)
Samuel de Champlain(UN;Still in office)
kikero378(UN; No longer in office)
Dr.Pain(DAL; Still in office)
Takashi_kun(EPIC;Still in office)
frankypicoto(DAL;No longer in office)
Quick Facts
-11 of the 16 are no longer in office(68.75
😵
-8 are/were of "Left wing" parties, 7 are/were of "Right wing" parties, and 1 is/was of a "Center" party
(50%/43.75%/6.25
😵
-Of the 5 still in office 3 DAL, 1 EPIC, and 1 CPF (3 left, 2 right)
So the votes were pretty even, for some reason I was expecting their to be a more "left" vote, but erepublik doesn't really have a "true" left or right.
The debate goes on
-The MoI report was published yesterday for congress, just to let the public know, everything is checking out great. Prime Minister Dade Pendwyn says "CitB is 100% trustworthy, and any trouble congress has getting detailed financial reports from him has nothing to do with him having something to hide.."
If you would like to read the thread, here it is: http://ecanada.cc/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=8320
The debate on if we should have rented out a region, is still going on. Basically company owners, citizens worried about countries overstay or not being able to pay, citizens worried about the goverment becoming corrupt, and people attached to online regions v.s people who like gold, want more gold for eCanada, and people who do not care about online regions. Pick a side eCanada!
With the Prime Minister elections coming up, canidates are getting their names out their, campaigning, and trying to get parties to support them. Current Prime Minister Dade Pendwyn looks like he is going to run for re-election. 3 time congressman and CEP member Rolo Tahmasee has announced that he is in fact, running for Prime Minister. Other canidates such as Duke Leto, Jefflav, and Neo look to gain support from the smaller parties. I mean no offense when I say this, but it looks like the main race is going to be the DAL backed Dade Pendwyn v.s CEP backed Rolo Tahmasee.
So today I choose who I am endorsing, and I choose
Rolo Tahmasee

Reason: I feel that Dade is a little too distracted on 1ronman, and I think even 1ronman knows it. I respect Dade and felt that he has done a good job in office espically compared to the past couple of Prime Ministers. I picked Rolo not because he is CEP, but because he has a strong work ethic, he knows how to pick a strong cabinet for office, and I feel that he will have the right mind set and be able to concentrate for V2 instead of worrying about 1ronman.
Also, comment below on why you think we should/not rent out regions for gold

ROLOLOLOLOLOLO!
"Muglack(CPF; No longer in office)"
You'll note I'm not in a party.
You should consider that many of eRepublik's political components centre around the economy, which your measure of left/right does not address.
😉
Thanks Sperry, that is a really good point actually 😃
IRC. ... Cuz I said so.
>_>
Rolo is the only choice
I'm backing Rolo
The MoI should be a source of revenue for the government, not a charity. If it can't at least break even every month, fix it or close it.
Rolo is the candidate that can answer all of the questions, I'll be supporting Rolo.
Renting out Manitoba - HELL YES!
Renting out a Titanium region - Hm...
I play this game because it is precisely that, a game. If people played simcity like they play eRep, they'd never demolish anything because of the sentimentality associated with a particular school and neighbourhood. yet if things were re-arranged a bit, the city would flow that much better because the numbers say so. more revenue would be made and more things could then be built.
This is the way sims were meant to be played, because we'd NEVER do this stuff in real life. Sims are all about the "what if". Explore the possibilities, rent regions, have fun.
ROLO all the way!
heh, for a while there I thought 11 of the new 16 congressmen had resigned. It left me wondering what terrible disaster I had missed.
I guess it wasn't the best time to not run for Congress because of holidays...misunderstandings in me not being a Congress Member will most likely arise.
The renting issue isn't about gold, it's about whether or not Canada is willing to do what's necessary to ensure that Phoenix doesn't have a major advantage in titanium production over the Good Guys. It's the only way, otherwise Russia will outproduce our entire side.
Roloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I can't understand why people want to hold on to an "asset" that provides a little advantage, when that asset could be given away, in return for a much greater advantage. This is a game...Is there really a good reason for holding onto both Titanium regions?
Rolo for CP!
Sperry, left/right ideologies is all about economics silly.
As the owner of a Q5 weapons company in Manitoba, I was worried when I first heard about the possible renting, but later became satisfied when considering being baught out at market value by the gov't or producing/selling my guns in Poland for cheaper labour and prices.
Another great article...hmm perhaps it is time to join the CEP...
