[UKPP] May PP Elections
Rfeist
Ladies and Gents,
This is just a quick message to those of you within the UKPP to let you know what is going on in this months Party President elections.
So this past month we had the sad news that our recently newly elected PP Alex Abrantes unfortunatly passed away. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends in this terrible time. Now as a result of this unfortunately none of his policies and our plans for the UKPP could not be carried out. I was one of the people who was supporting Abrantes and was looking to help him with his plans this month.
It is with this that I announce that I will be running for UKPP PP this coming term. As no one else has put their name forward in an article. I believe it is my responsibility as a long time UKPPer to step forward and help the party in these troubling times.
Experience:
In the past I have been the UKPP PP twice.This gives me an insight into what the PP needs to do and when.
I have been the CP of the eUK once in the past and in doing so became the first true UKPP CP. This gives me experience into how the country operates and will help find the UKPP a place within it.
I have been the CO of the RN in the past and a captain of both the RN and the DC over 10 times.
Aims:
My aims If I were to become the UKPP PP would be:
1. Gain at least 4/5 congress seats. This would be through better congress voting mobilization and linking with other smaller but no less important Parties in the eUK.
2. Take a vote on CP candidates as is UKPP tradition.
3. Maintain a more active UKPP presence in the media.
4. Push to try and grow the UKPP to the best of mine and other UKPPers abilities. This will mean a more inclusive UKPP.
5. Takes strides to improve the UKPP and move it forward into the future as part of the ever changing eUK. (More on this last point if I get elected)
So this leads me ask you to make the choice to vote for me tomorrow in the PP elections for UKPP.
Regards
Richard Feist

RFeist for UKPP PP!!! A through and through UKPPer.
Now I'm stuck between voting Hugh at NE or Rich at UKPP or Leo at IA 🙁
Pity I only get one vote per multi 🙁
voted, I think you will be a solid PP!
You are in the MU which voted in the mwcerberus who hurt the party so much and took it from rank 1 to almost out of congress with the silly renames for nearly three weeks.
You are the person who split the PP vote to let mwcerberus who almost destroyed UKPP win. One of mwcerberus' supporters said you did this on purpose (wayne or alexg737 I think).
You are saying that you are the first UKPP CP, but wasn't that BigAnt? Yeah he also ran in ESO previously, but then you ran in New Era. Why are you saying this?
I hope that UKPP can recover back to what it was but it looks like your power struggle did indeed get rid of people you didn't like (BigAnt and Nick) but also left the party as a hollow shell. What differentiates you from TUP or ESO for example?
Being in the same MU as people who did something doesnt mean I did it.
I was running for PP, that was why I was there. If you saw I was actually second placed and so therefore was the opposition to mwcerberus. So for the first time your believing something that wayne or alex said to you, makes a change I suppose.
I was the first true UKPP CP as I was a UKPPer from birth was what I was getting at. I moved to NE back then to help don out and it just so happened that I ran for CP with you but could have done so with UKPP too.
So do I! I think what differentiates us is the people and the community that we have within out party and the friendships between us. The only real difference between parties IMO after you strip away all the bullshit.
I hope that you are a benevolent UKPP candidate and what you say is true. I admit it's possible and it's all just circumstantial evidence.
However it's not like blaming a Legion MU member for the actions of another they are a HUGE MU. Dentists is a very small MU which you are Captain of (3rd ranked person) and which has officially sided with the UKPP and NE "PTO" situations. By being in it and even having a leadership positions you are supporting their destructive actions.
It's a shame those UKPP friendships didn't stop your Dentists friends from nearly destroying UKPP.
At the very least you are showing that you lack the backbone to stand up to your friends and colleagues when they do something to hurt your party.
At worst you are part of why you are fighting for 5th place instead of continuing to hold 1st.
You need to do something about this.
Well it is up to the UKPP members to vote for who they wish to see as their PP.
Fair point, we are a close MU and good friends. I can say that as captain i have some sort of power but I am mainly just captain to set DO's when Niko isnt online. Does not mean I am supporting all these PTO actions though..... again circumstantial evidence.
At the very least it shows that I cannot control the actions of my friends and colleagues. This is due to them being individuals and you do not force your friends to do what you want, its called a dictatorship....
I have stayed in UKPP though and continue to try my best for them so it is now up to other people to let me continue. If people think that I can best serve the parties interests elsewhere then I will leave or do what is asked.
I do not need to do something though to gain your approval or because you think that I do.
The thing is Goku, there were only 18 active people in the DC MU and several of them were involved in elections in other parties. If you assume all 18 did vote in the UKPP CP election, then 14 non-DC members also voted for mwcerberus. Richard came second with 19 votes. Although some DC members (like Wayne) in the UKPP did vote for mwcerberus and enough properly did to get him the extra votes needed to win, I think people overstate just how influencial the DC MU was in getting mwcerberus voted in.
As I said earlier, not everyone in the DC MU voted in the UKPP so the number of people outside the unit who voted for mwcerberus might well have beaten Richard without any votes from DC MU players. So why would people vote for him inside the party when they barely knew him? It might have been just me, but he was the only one of those putting themselves forward who actually messaged me prior to the election asking for a vote. I suspect this swung many players within the party.
As I've stated before, mwcerberus winning the election was less due to an active PTO attempt as a case of general inactivity within the party. to organise itself. You can blame Richard for splitting the vote, but you can point the finger at people like Helpmeslack, Neil Lewis, Saiwan and
Baroness Margaret Thatcher who stood without announcing it and did more to split the vote away from Richard competing to be number one. And even if Richard hadn't stood, the 19 votes he got would have split between the four people named and none of them would have got anywhere close to winning.
I was gonna respond, but DC's hammer, Mr Knee, has hit the nail on the head once again.

I've allready voted for you, and happy to do that again 🙂

had Richard, or Saiwun [who I voted for as I thought that it was his turn, mwc asked for my vote, no-one else did and maybe i should've been suspicious of mwc at that point, and I said I would toss a coin] had asked me to withdraw I would have. No-one, or very few, outside DC knew what Wayne & mwc were planning so we didn't know the threat. I polled 7 votes, I think, without actively campaigning [up 1 from the previous month] so was, at first, quite happy. Believe me, if it was possible to have reallocated votes to have prevented that debacle, i would have done so.
Nothing was planned....

Best of luck Richard o/
And pay no heed to Goku. He's a fruitcake.
"became the first true UKPP CP"
Incorrect that title belongs to me 😉
no, Rich was the first real UKPP CP
