Olv007: My answers for the BP elections

Day 663, 13:48 • Published in Netherlands Belgium • by Olv007

Dear Citizens,

I received some questions from regarding the BP elections of tomorrow. As transparency is very important in my eyes, here are the questions and my answers:

Question: How would you lead the party to the elections (and win)?

Olv007: As we live in a democracy I will remain open at every one’s opinion. More transparency about what we do for the eUNL citizens need to be published. I want also that every member of our party feels like at home in our beloved country. I will try to make this feasible but we have to be realistic, it will not be possible for everybody.

Question: What is your view on changing the name of our country?

Olv007: Ah, the big question 😉 To be honest, it’s not my first concern. But I do understand that a lot of eUNL citizens want to change the name on the forum. It’s just a shame that we don’t have enough active members on the forum. Only 81 persons voted on the Forum’s Poll. That’s not enough, certainly as the question is to change the name on the Forum as it cannot be changed on eRepublik.
If do agree to change the name if the reason is for the citizens to feel more UNITED. I do not agree to change the name because of nationalism. The reason is simple: eBelgium has almost no history on eRepublik, so no reason for nationalism.
Ok, I know, Belgium in real life has a lot of history and Belgians are proud to be part of that History. But we are in a game and therefore, things happened outside eRepublik may not reflect on us within the game. We can only take into account what happened during the 663 days of our eWorld. And what was the biggest moment of our eHistory? Correct, it was the merge between eBE and eNL. It was after the merge that was decided on a common base to change the name on the forum to The United Netherlands. That was for me a good reason. So again, if the eUNL citizens want to change the name on the forum to feel more UNITED, I will be the first one to approve it.

Question: You don’t have any parliamentary role in your profile. Would it not be more complicated for you to carry out a party to a victory? (institutional talking)

Olv007: I’m learning very fast 😉

Question: On which base will you select your candidates if there are more than expected for a region?

Olv007: Depends on their presentation. I personally like people who are motivated, active, self-willed and open-mined.

Question: About the Belgian currency, what do you plan to do?

Olv007: The actual eBelgian currency has no value anymore. Citizens are used to pay or be paid with NLG. I don’t want to change that.
