Hat in Ring and all that.

Day 3,896, 22:43 • Published in United Kingdom

Ahhh, it's time to throw one's hat into the ring.

That's right, dear reader, your faithful editor is putting his name down for Congress. So what is this Cayley fellow all about?

Well, I'm a good egg. A loyal egg. An honest egg. And as a relative newcomer to this strange old e-World, I'm determined to be a good listener, good learner, and do what I can in the interests of the e-UK.

While my political affiliations lie firmly with my beloved TUP, I will be fighting (often quite literally) for the interests of all at large, and especially for the wonderful East Midlands region.

So come on. Give a George a hug and a vote at the Congress Elections. Happy to serve.

Why do we need to know about you? Hasn't anyone in TUP told you that you vote for the party?

You need to write about how great TUP is. (Hint: It isn't, people aren't saying "TUP is great" they are saying "TUP grates")

1. Stop discouraging new players.
2. You have never been In TUP, don’t pretend you know how tbe party opperates.
3. That is the worst joke I have ever heard, like genuinely that was poor.

Septuagenarian Day 3,897, 02:42

Not trying to discourage him just educating him to the fact that individuals and constituencies are not part of the game. Isn't that something that TUP should have done in the first place?

Have I said anything about how TUPs internal operations work? No, I'm just pointing out that educating people in how the political system works should be the job of the party. Of course, if the party isn't doing its job ...

Joke?

"Have I said anything about how TUPs internal operations work?"

"Hasn't anyone in TUP told you that you vote for the party?"

Objection your honour! I smell a contradiction!

Terribly sorry if I've offended, old bean. Well, sort of. One likes to role-play a little when one immerses oneself in a game.

Septuagenarian Day 3,897, 15:51

Then play the game by the rules that exist and not by something you make up as you go along

Thedillpickl Day 3,898, 04:40

Exactly what rule (s) were broken?

Septuagenarian Day 3,898, 10:15

Did I say rules were broken? No, I was pointing out the irrelevance of the article under the current electoral system. I hope the author doesn't believe he will in some way be the constituency representative for the East Midlands.
If however he does sincerely believe that, my Nigerian cousin needs help to move some real life cash.

Thedillpickl Day 3,898, 15:41

So not ok to let new guy make an irrelivant article that hurts no one because he is WRONG!

And then people wonder why they leave...

Good stuff George. Looking forward to seeing you at work in congress!

certacito Day 3,897, 05:51

It is good to see some new blood running for Congress - better still someone whose grasp of English appears to be reasonably comprehensive!

What puzzles me is how you managed to end up in the TUP...... From examination of your vocabulary and avatar I would have expected you to be slightly less left Wardle leaning and end up in the UKRP!

If things don’t work out for you, then rest assured that there will be a place for you (a deep leather armchair next to the cocktail cabinet in fact) in the UKRP Club.....

George Cayley Day 3,897, 12:53

Next to the cocktail cabinet eh??? May have to review my political affiliations!

MrCherry Day 3,897, 16:32

Don't do it cert, he's already drinking our entire reserves!

Spite313 Day 3,898, 05:04

We have a better whisky selection, just saying. Those UKRPers don't know their speyside from their islands.

1st time congress tips:
> Go to Administration page, make several proposals.
(Especially popular would be to raise taxes and impeach.)
> Advertise in shout feed Citizenship passes for sale.
> Go to Mongress PM and ask how magnets work.

Best luck!
