Dear citizens of the eNetherlands,
Who would expect just a time ago to have such a lively political environment in the eNetherlands? As such, political parties should be responsive and Revolution and Libertas heeds your call! And so comes to live 'Revolutionary', the regular periodic of our party describing recent events and our view on them. So what do we have this time around?
Revolution and Libertas is somewhat worried about the handling of the recent Referendum on Referendum. Initially initiated to abolish the Referendum, it turned into an experiment with the people's vote by the elites to prove a point. While we do not particularly care about the Referendum 'issue' and whether it stays unchanged, removes or adapted - there are much more important matters at hand - we're not a fan of deceptiveness. Defendants of the Referendum call themselves democrats, but what democratic value is there in withholding votes (so the threshold is not met) and back-pedalling by voting no/neutral by several initiators nonetheless?
Now we see in a twisted and hypocritical manner the 'solution' in severely-lacking band-aids attached on this irrelevant instrument. Attempts to aggregate a quorum on in-game elections in the past sound nice, but are just as deceptive. With Party Presidents often forgetting to mobilize their people to candidate for Congress or just one Country President running for office, why even bother? If the only reason the Referendum is - barely - relevant is due to a political power-play, then keeping it intact is a threat to our democracy, and not an healthy addition.
* Vote for Revolution and Libertas!
Let me introduce you to our wonderful list of Congress candidates aiming to improve the eNetherlands in whatever way possible, untied to ancient ideologies and special interests. We seek to have all six elected during the Congressional Elections of the 25th of March!
NoTie112 has been continuously striving in bringing much-needed programs and money to the eNetherlands and her citizens in his position as Minister of Finance. ElGorro has revolutionized the transparency of Congress, ensuring that everyone's vote is finally equal. europecrisseswar is bringing some much needed rationality in the snake-pit of career politicians. MaartenW may be considered ancient on his own, but his experience combined with a revolutionary heart brings some much needed level-headedness to our party and the eNetherlands. MDSanderon is still there too, seeking to keep our country on the right path that started in his Country Presidency last year. We're also happy that Kaczyk has returned to the game and is representing our party once again after unmissable experience as Minister of Defence and even the Polish Presidency!
* Read of the Week
''Iran is the 1%'' by Mael Dunbar. We don't see eye to eye much with Iron & Wine and have much to criticize, but the recent journalistic activity by Mael Dunbar is to be applauded on both the individual and political party-level. Agree or disagree with the content, his articles are entertaining and interesting to read!

So much talk (two articles now), and so little done. Feels like Revolution being wasted 🙁 .
Also - I hope author of this article and Minister of Finances are two different people. Otherwise I have just lost my confidence in his economic capabilities based on his reading recommendations.
So little being done? As far as I know it's not DemNL doing everything here. 😝
Also I let it be unspoken whether you should agree or disagree with the reading recommedation. Because in position of "Minister of Finances" I have different views. An active writer that also represents a different voice should be applauded.
True, Iron and Wine is lately quite revolutionary itself o/ .
An active writer indeed, but you purposefully the article full of incorrect numbers instead of... well, any other article, which is atleast factually correct. Someone, who claims to be Minister of Finances, should not be advertising economic nonsense, even if it comes as a recommendation from his personal newspapers.
Eh, we're all on the side of eNL, no? You're both doing a good job. I dislike squabbling. Squab is pretty good though...
What's squab 😮 ?
Janty just has issues with people with other views than the one he has. And besides that Janty wrote his last two articles in his personal paper and not the Presidential one. So Janty as person has a different oppinion than Janty as President.... fine by me. ;’
I do not have problem with different opinions. I have problem with factual misinformations. Like the fact Iranian income per week is 80 million currency. Or that GDP is income.
If the author fixes his math... then why not. But otherwise that article is pure nonsense.
Maybe you can go for the MoF position next term. 😛
Would probably suit me well, though I doubt the current elite would allow it.
You are the current elite, my friend. 😉
I wish I felt like one...
Squab is like a tasty little dove. Mmm.
Vote for Revolution and Libertas! The only party at the moment practicing no nosense Democracy and by not creating a second game around made up rules.
