PCP Update - Post Version 1
Stan Wephen
Hello comrades. As promised, I'm here to bring you the news on the People's Communist Party. It's been an interesting week, with Version 1's release, widdows resignation and several appointments, so read on.
Presidential candidacy
Last week widdows9000 announced suddenly he was leaving for the eUSA. Fortunately, his trip was short-lived, and widdows9000 returned to the eUK. However, he has decided not to stand for Presidency under the current conditions, and has also resigned as Minister of Defence. This sparked a brief crisis within the PCP, as we head into the congress elections without a CP candidate. Tim09, after widdows9000's resignation, went on to take the job of Country President candidate. Tim09 has my full support as a brilliant politician and personal friend. Tim09 has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs for 3 terms, being under-minister of MoFA and apprentice MoFA for 2 months before that. He has a wide field of experience both in economics and domestic policy, such as the formation of the Trade Unions.
Appointments
Thanks to a recent influx of new, active members of the People's Communist Party, I'm pleased to announce several new appointments within the PCP.Tecchi - Junior Director of RecruitmentFrixion- Junior Director of CommunicationsI have full faith in both Tecchi and Frixion that both of them will perform their duties in the PCP with distinction and dedication.
Proposal - House of Lords
Currently the People's Communist Party is proposing a reform of the current political system with the introduction of a second house the Parliament, similiar to the House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords will be appointed by the top 3 PPs and the CP, keeping it democratic. This second House will allow soldiers such as paratroopers to become part of the government whereas previously they were disallowed from participation. It will also allow congressman in the HoL to concentrate on the country rather than the monthly congress elections.
PCP Constitution
The Constitution for the PCP is currently about 80% complete - all that's left is a bit of tidying up and working out loose ends. As soon as the Constitution is finished, it will be announced in this newspaper, as well as being put on the eRepublik wiki, so watch out for that.
Get to know the PCP: Ip Lockard
The founding father of the PCP, Ip Lockard is one biggest influences in modern British pollitcs. Originally the United Kingdom Action Party, Ip Lockard won the party elections in February and renamed it the People's Communist Party. He was the Chancellor of the Exchequer in April and May, and is still heavily involved in the People's Initiative.

Tim09 for UK Prime Minister! Australia will want him back in a month though. 😛
PCP ROCKS!! WOO!!
"Elitism exists as an excuse for only those who don't want to put the effort into accomplishment."
Best of luck guys!!
Ah, sam! Where have you been? Gimme a shout sometime!
...I'm not sure I comprehend what you say Dish, but I think it roughly translates "PCP ROCKS!" Am I wrong?
Hurray for Stan and come on Tim in the next general elections.
PCP rule
Good luck Tim. Yay i got a mention!
Up with the PCP!
Only the cool kids are in PCP.
Who wants to be my buddy?
Pride
Power
PCP!!
Yeah Stan, I booted up Google Translate and from Capitalist to English it means: "Everybody vote PCP at the next election"
Jeez, Stan. If you're going to do "Amirite" should do it right, Amirite?
And Sarah, you must be using the wrong translator. It means "The PCP will consistently use the We Fight for the Little Guy slogan, but in all reality its as much BS as substance."
And I always knew Tim was a Pakistani. One MORE reason not to vote for him 😛
Love the idea of the buddy system,
what do you need to be accepted? 😁)
Workers Rights Are Human Rights!
Pride!
Power!
PCP!
Great article. Wish i could come back, V1 adds new challenges and it looks like PCP is ready for them.
Good luck PCP.
Just pm me Mulgrave, I'll give ya a buddy.
The heck is amirite? I think I need a capitalist translator as this rate. Meh, don't listen to Dish guys, he's a little jealous he's not in the PCP himself 😛
done 😁
How did you know Stan? Your capitalist mindreading ability must be kicking in. PLEASE take all my money 😛
Good article, commendable 🙂
One question - Is the PCP surely only communist in name? I agree with many of your proposals and ideas, but hardly any of them seem to be communist.
MDU is the way forward for eUK!
Dish I am just using a slogan that fits appropriately with the party. No affiliation to Pakistan..... seriously....
CV if you agree then vote for PCP
so thats who techhi is!
UKRP is better. We've got more to offer 😛
Yay! more capitalist manipulation of the working classes! 8D
As long as you guys get rich, 8P
