Today, we have the opportunity to interview the United Kingdom Progression Party’s country president candidate for the upcoming elections, Angela Williams. A relative unknown in British politics, she was a member of The Unity Party before moving to her current party after two terms in Congress.
1. Let’s get straight to business. You’ve been accused of multi-accounting (where a person owns more than one account in order to gain more votes) by The Unity Party and your unprecedented votes in Scotland suggest much the same. How would you respond to such accusations?
At the time of course I was actually in TUP and completely unaware of the various rules, regulations, committees and hoops you had to go through to actually be a TUP candidate [1].
I ran a campaign in-game, messaged everyone in my region (I now realise that messaging other parties is considered naughty and apologise for that) [2], talked to as many as I could and the combination of being in the top Party plus actively campaigning for the position got me a huge number of votes [3].
I learnt from this that there were a great many players out there in the eUK that were not being accounted or cared for by the leaders of our nation and after talking to many of them after the election - I decided that I needed to find a party that didn't have such a narrow focus and actually tried to reach out as I did.
2. In addition to these accusations, you are a member of a party that was host to one of the most prolific multi-account owners. This doesn’t legitimise the aims of the party. How do you expect the party to be taken seriously when under the suspicions of the majority?
The Sir Isaac situation was dealt with internally by the party. It may have upset the oldboard crowd that the UKPP didn't join them in prompt and vocal condemnation [4], but the UKPP tends to be more inclusive as a party and the in this case as in many others it prefers to maintain vigilance until confirmation of guilt. Soon as he committed an actual offence he was blacklisted and eventually due to UKPP reporting he was banned from the game
3. Your party, the United Kingdom Progression Party, had a meteoric rise through the political rankings. Some of that rise could be through multi-accounts. Your party president, Sir Nick Griffin, attributes this rise to “dissatisfaction with the major parties”. Would you agree with the statement?
I think multi-accounts are used in the eUK as they are (sadly) used everywhere in the game and every party in every nation will get their share of them.
Luckily we have a small team that stays 'on-top' of the situation within the UKPP and also the parties beneath it!
The causes for the appearance of the UKPP on the tails of ESO are many. Nick is certainly correct in that one of them is dissatisfaction with what the main parties are offering them.
4. Onto your campaign as a prospective country president. Many people will be asking one simple question. Who are you? Your only “claim to fame” is your success in Congress elections which was marred by rogue tax proposals. Summarise what you think you can bring to this election.
I can bring fresh ideas new perspectives, Unlike most of the CP candidates I think I am more open to new ideas and I have nothing to lose unlike so many politicians I am not bothered about reputation or what people think the only thing I care about is the state of Britain and its people and what We must do to help.
5. How do you expect people to vote for you when you have such a distinct lack of experience? The other candidates are both former Ministers of Defence, one is a several-time country president of the United Kingdom. Surely, you can’t see this a genuine campaign. Is it a message to the nation to change?
We do find it amusing that the other candidates are trumpeting their previous experience within the eUK when the result of all the past work has led us to being wiped!
Our view on the election is you can either vote for the same old crowd, doing things the same old way and yielding the same results or you can make a break with the past and vote for a candidate that has no debts to the past, nobody to pay off and will not just re-use, re-mould and re-dress the existing products and call it progress.
6. Let’s imagine that you do win the country president elections. What would be your three main aims? What would be your priorities and how would you go about introducing and ensuring those priorities are met?
The overriding issue in the eUK at the moment is the state of the eUK on the world map.
We're lucky enough to have a good strategic brain within the party and if the UKPP can promise one thing it is solid planning (see the rise of the UKPP) and communication (my election in Scotland, rise of the UKPP and because it is the #1 priority of the party).
The other parties have attempted in patches to produce what we plan but they have failed to stick to it or organise in the most basic fashion and that is something that I am 100% sure we can do.
7. The other two country president election candidates have released their manifestos announcing their intention to run. You released yours shortly afterwards. There’s a distinct lack of “content”. What exactly is your platform for running?
The UKPP had a late start to the elections as we were hoping that a national candidate we could all fully get behind might step forward but regrettably we don't get to rally behind an Emergy, Daeres or even JamesW or Woldy we get the MoD whose performance over the last month has been lacking and Dish who despite a few personal qualities is running a UKRP campaign that is antithetical to most of what the UKPP stands for.
My campaign is now in progress and will unfold in a standard fashion - Introduction, policies, clarifications and responses and a final exhortation.
8. One final question. Did you have a forum poll where party members could select their preferred candidate or did you simply install yourself as the country president candidate?
The UKPP has held off on polling as it waited for the 'unity' candidate to appear.
After talks with other parties we realise that this isn't going to happen and also that the TUP and UKRP candidates were fixed and not changing.
The UKPP membership is now being polled on which runner they wish to support. [5]
[1] As a former member of The Unity Party I know that there is little or no difference between the process employed by this party and any of the other major parties running congressional elections.
[2] The nature of campaigning means that people do not have the time to check who they are messaging. Most people will send messages to between twenty and three hundred people in a single round.
[3] The election in reference was the September ‘11 congressional elections in which Angela Williams received the highest number of total votes in all regions. The suspicion of multi-accounting comes from the knowledge that London is the most populated region and has set the highest no. of votes consistently.
[4] Prompt and vocal condemnation of this issue comes from knowledge that Sir Isaac Newton PRS was, in fact, Pizza the Hut (or Ajay Bruno) who was a notorious and known multi-accounter. The United Kingdom Progression Party refused to accept this knowledge.
[5] Logs have been provided suggesting that no poll was ever conducted. The United Kingdom Progression Party selected its candidate even with the knowledge of other party’s candidates, refusing to accept democratic process.

btw, this was brilliant.
Nice and toasty...
That's because the last candidate did not produce flagrant lies or comments which were inexplicably attempting to slander another party. Let me explain the process adopted by the majority of parties in the United Kingdom for congress elections
1. The party president opens a thread asking for candidates to sign up to a region. The party president then assigns seats based on requests per region and then, on the 23rd, those candidates subscribe to their region.
It's not a complicated process and it doesn't require "jumping through hoops". It's slanderous allegations against The Unity Party which are unfounded and unnecessary. Anyone who has been a member of the party will surely tell you the same thing.
Your second point is invalid. I was highlighting that the messaging of other parties during congressional elections isn't considered poor etiquette. What your party might do is largely irrelevant since we were looking at her congressional campaign during her time at TUP. Since then, Angela Williams has not been re-elected and so any successive effort is irrelevant.
The past history of Sir Isaac Newton PRS is self-evident. Look through his past history and the condemnation he received in the United States when he PTOed a party and was accused of multi-accounts. This has happened on successive occasions. For him to "turn the other cheek" is not only a rapid transformation but goes against his very character - to manipulate and control parties through multi-accounts. Your distinct lack of knowledge on the subject or indeed research on the matter proves to me that UKPP not only flagrantly disregards past experience in favour of a "clean sheet" approach but seems intent on accepting such behaviour.
The last point seems to me counter-intuitive. You are arguing that you were waiting for a "unity" candidate but surely you must have been aware that once Dishmcds and Kravenn had announced their candidacy, those would be the official candidates.
Alfagrem has failed to note that footnotes [1]-[4] apply to when AW was a member of TUP, so commenting on how UKPP does things is a red herring.
[5] Still avoids the question of how AW was selected to be UKPPs candidate. Did the UKPP select AW from a number of potential UKPP members or was it a shoe-in.
Premature ejaculation.........of information.
+1 warning to Alfa 🙁
"[5] Logs have been provided suggesting that no poll was ever conducted. The United Kingdom Progression Party selected its candidate even with the knowledge of other party’s candidates, refusing to accept democratic process."
Please tell me who provided the logs.... Because anyone with a bit of intelligence would go to our forums and SEE the poll with their own eyes.
The bias is shocking Veruvia.
Look at the questions Dish got and then the questions here, almost all of them are loaded attacks while Dish got a mix of challenging questions, focused on manifesto questions and generic questions.
Does it really matter if an IRC active party selects a candidiate on IRC? Is it not hyporcritical to critisise this when TUP has ignored it's own CP polls in the past (Stefan). Should an interview with a UKPP candidiate even have your personal defence of TUP as a topic?
An interview should be about the interviewee. This has too much Veruvia and Veruvia's personal opinion in questions, footnotes and comments. Too much FOX and not enough BBC.
@Sir Nick Griffin: Really? Is that why there is essentialy nothing visible on your forums to non UKPP members? The poll you claim to be visible isn't.
Show me a single party with a public poll. Thanks.
Sir Nick: Your own PM shows you didn't conduct a poll.
I guess it's more important that we argue about an inconsequential issue than get the UK back on the map. Well done.
This isn't bias. It's about presenting to the public what is a major issue. First, Angela Williams has been accused of multi-accounts. The extent to which this is true isn't verifiable but the total no. of votes in the congressional elections suggests there is some truth to the matter.
What matters is the democratic process that UKPP is choosing to follow. There's no defense of TUP in this article except where there have been flagrant lies on the part of the interviewee (see the first question). The first question is perhaps what most people would be thinking about Angela Williams if they'd followed the elections.
The BBC is no more unbiased than Sky News. This was an interview conducted with someone who:
a) has been accused of multi-accounts and;
b) associated with a party host to multi-accounts
It's going to take the forefront of the interview. For a candidate with zero experience for the role, it comes as no surprise that the questions are going to be loaded - it's loaded with challenge and difficulty for the interviewee. If you don't like it, you're welcome to conduct your own interview with her.
I didn't mention Sky News, I said FOX News.
Angela got three multi account questions and Dish got one destroying the MoD question.
The democratic process followed is the PP election, I wasn't aware that additional fluff was a requirement rather than an option.
You seem pretty touchy on anything relating to TUP, could this be because your own democratic process has landed you with a rediculous candidiate who won't even do an interview with a member of his own party? Even your PP, Talon Karrde, has said that he is just going though the motions to satisfy your CP poll requirements and that a big TUP block will be voting for Dishmcds.
It looks like you guys have learned to just not bother rather than break your poll like you have in the past. All to keep the moral high ground you never had!
fantastic
Goku: Sir Nick said the poll is visible to anyone who goes to the UKPP forums. I did so and the poll was not visible. The fact that he has lied over such a simply verified thing makes me wonder how much else that cannot be so easily verified a pack of lies?
Must be a lie! Couldn't be a mistake? You are overreacting.
If someone is trying to demonstrate the openness with which they selected their CP candidate, I'd seriously expect them to have their facts correct before making a public statement. A public statement that subsequently turns out to be incorrect. So either he lied and didn't expect anyone to actually check up, or he doesn't know what he's on about.
If you sign up, you may be able to read it. As for the other top parties, I don't see any CP polls....
Did the UKRP conduct a poll? Did they include Angela Williams? Are you stuck up your own bottom?
Answers on a Postcard, please.
Alfa during conference "You can't work with the likes of UKRP either in gov or in the community"
Moderates "We can try get along and work together"
Alfa "As long as I can say "I told you so!" at a later date"
........................
"Told ya so!"
Disgusting are the carryings on in UK politics.
