Plans in the UKRP - New Party President
•
by Dishmcds
When I moved to the UK in August (on the 2nd), I noted that I didnt really want to involve myself in politics. I was looking for something to do, in an effort to better the UK as it is now my home country, and was frustrated at the lack of access a normal citizen has. It was suggested that I join a party to gain more access, so I did and joined the UKRP.
Katie has been a fairly close friend of mine for a couple months now, since she used to be the Ambassador to the US, and her and I have always gotten along well together. Kaleb, Shadow, and I go way back, and so on so the UKRP made more sense for me.
When I joined, one of my initial goals was to help in the area of Party Recruitment and activity. Our activity levels have increased (as well as the size of our Party), and we have all had say on many different things, including our revitalization and manifesto, Press Releases, and so on.
When Katie stepped down, she felt like she could not dedicate the time to the Party that she felt necessary to run it properly. Funky took over in her stead, and was an awesome PP for the time he had it. I honestly believed him to be just as good of a candidate for the Presidency of the UK as anyone, including KIA due to his commitment to his people, his country, and most of all his values.
Unfortunately, Funky has gone into the same issues as a good majority of the older members, in not having the proper amount of time to dedicate to things, so he has also decided to step down. Since I am not at Uni (well too old for that), and can dedicate myself to whatever duties I end with out of this, I was the logical and accepted choice. The other option was Rayf, who has been our PR Superman, who simply didnt feel comfortable and experienced enough in the role of PP, let alone CP.
I am not asking you to vote for me during the General Elections. Vote for whomever you think will do the best job. If that's KIA, then so be it. If that's Alain Bates, despite the opinion of others, then so be it. If it's me, then I can and will dedicate myself to the constant maintenance, improvement, and growth of the UK, as well as cooperation between all people, no matter which party you're from.
I will not tell you to vote for someone else, as I believe anyone in the PP should be willing to take Presidency if the people feel they warrant it. Therefore, even though some may think so, I will not throw the support of the UKRP behind another Party. We're all free to vote how we feel is best.
I will follow our policies as set forth in our manifesto, which was written in a cooperative group effort.
I urge all members of the UKRP, and all citizens of the UK to join the National Forums at:
[a url=http://www.erepublik.co.uk]UK National Forums[/a]
There, you can give your input behind any party, proposal, etc. which we all want to see.
And if you intend to be in any sort of Government function, including Mayors, Congress, etc, then it is required under any administration to join the forums as that's where budgeting and whatnot is taken care of.
So, we should see a few interesting days. Until then,

Wow. I lose internet access for a couple of weeks and I\'m wondering if the eWorld is falling to pieces in my absence. I return and find that my new party leader is Dish. And Shadow seems to be back. double cool! 😃
I\'m glad Dish got involved in UK Politics myself. Finally a spicy election to watch. The last few have been predictable but this one should be close. Not sure if it\'ll be as close as me vs Shadow or Kaleb vs 94asm but it\'ll be damn close.
Well I don\'t think any election can be closer than me v 94asm. 123 votes each or something like that, I only won because I was the \'older\' citizen!
Dish, promise you won\'t purge PCP out of government. I still want to stay as MoD.
I remember it well 94asm led by one vote till the very last minute. Elections finishing at midnight GMT were much better. The media that night was in overdrive.
The PCP is as welcome in Government as any other Party. My philosophy, going back to my days with the RfC is based on activity and not political association. You\'ve done well thus far, and there\'s a few other members of the PCP that I hope will either ask or stay into Government as well. That\'s all if I am elected of course, which is up to the voters 🙂
wid, if you vote for him you can stay as MoD. What do you think about that? Deal? 😛
RfC = republicans for change if anyone was wondering.
The Party has changed a bit, so I dont know if I\'d support it now, but that\'s where I started.
And it\'s eRepublikans for Change 😛
Dish, aren\'t you afraid of RL issues boom? 😛
cause it seems PP position in UKRP is dangerous in that case 😃D
This is great news. Dishmcds\' experience is just what we need to put eUK back on track.
We need progress on the consitution and the implementation of the transparency of Parliament urgently. At last, we have someone willing and capable to do it!
Good luck

Propose it yourself then, you *are* in congress....
\'This is great news. Dishmcds\' experience is just what we need to put eUK back on track.\'
What do you mean back on track? Are you really that ignorant to think our country is in a state?
\'We need progress on the consitution and the implementation of the transparency of Parliament urgently. At last, we have someone willing and capable to do it!\'
Umm, in case you haven\'t realised there is two page thread in the HoC about transparency and the weirdest thing is the only people commenting are PCP. Umm, you really believe in it don\'t you. Oh and KIA was really incapable.
RonaldChris, I feel like getting banned for two days with what I want to say to you.
I will put it in capitals, and really try hard not to earn myself that erepublik ban..
ANY CONGRESSMAN OR WOMAN MAY PROPOSE TRANSPARENCY.
A PRESIDENT ALONE CANNOT PUT TRANSPARENCY IN PLACE, HE/SHE NEEDS CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.
and the bit that got me angry now..
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION?
WE NEED PROGRESS ON IT?
THEN DO IT YOURSELF, YOURE JUST IGNORANT TO THE FACT THAT NO-ONE HAS BOTHERED WITH IT - MEANING ALL PARTIES.
I HAVE RECENTLY TRIED TO REVIVE IT, AND IT IS GOING WELL.
God, i really feel like swearing my tits off for the first time in this game...
nice one RonaldChris, you\'ve shown your true ignorance.
RC of you believe in transparency participate in the discussion.
Also sorry Dish for the Hijack
Np mate (to use your word 😛)
IP😕"Propose it yourself then, you *are* in congress....\"
he isn\'t yet. He\'s not a congressman
@Shadow - I think you\'ll find RonaldChris is....
Shadow he is.
I\'ve been trying to get this damned thing proposed for... I swear it\'ll be my first act as a Congressman if I get a seat on Monday.
It\'s being discussed, it was proposed by a PCPer and so far, apart from a few exceptions, the only ones discussing it are the PCP. Weird eh?
I think it should be noted that SBJ, me, FD, jasperking and many others have already put a lot of time into writing the constitution its just now we all have bigger responsibilities so we left it to others.
SBJ put in more effort then most which explains his anger. If it wasn’t for him the rest of us wouldn’t of got much done.
in the few hours I sat in HoC I actually voiced my short opinion on it tho. And there is an UKRP proposal yet no member of the UKRP in congress has proposed it. And we want to get that thingy in there.
And SBJ should be given the honor he deserves for going on with the constitution! Someone give that man a cookie! And we need an EDIT button here!
Dish this is not a comment against you, though I will def b supporting PCP both KIA and congress.
RC grow up and stop being ignorant.
@SBJ Absolutely no criticism of you personally since I know you have worked hard on the draft Constitution. But as you say, the Constitution needs to be given more political priority to be finalised.
@LP Don\'t worry, I\'ll be making a proposal. on transparency very soon.
Cool changes
Thank you Dish for taking this. I was sad to leave the position, but I know that you will keep the UKRP running strong. Once I get a good schedule down at Uni, I can then dedicate more of my time for the eUK.
Thank you again, I can\'t thank you enough.
Katie, I am sorry to have left the party in such a pickle. But I wanted to do this well before the GE so the UKRP at least had a chance to make a point and get organized. And not to make it look like I abandon the eUK. I am not without honor!
