[FDP] The Foundations of a New Party
•
by Arthur Wellesley
Friends! Britons! Countrymen! Lend me your ears!
Tomorrow is an auspicious day. Tomorrow marks the foundation of a new party within the eUnited Kingdom. It has, for a long time now, been a wish of mine to branch out and found a new party with fresh ideas and approaches, to found a new political identity that has a chance of truly becoming a linkage institution. Tomorrow, we found the Free Democratic Party.
Now, wait, Arthur (I hear your cries), you know a new party doesn’t have any chance of success! Well, maybe so. I, on the other hand, believe that this new party will be better equipped than any previous party to bring together the finest minds in the eUK, to bridge gaps that were previously non-traversable chasms, and to just flat give all of us more to do. In that direction, I announce to you our first party membership list!

And there are a few more that are bound by commitments that will be joining us at a later date, and they wish their identities to be kept quiet for the time being. An auspicious body, a group of experienced players that come from varied backgrounds.
What will we stand for? As for specific policy goals, you can expect the Party Manifesto and the Party Constitution to be made publicly available soon. As for the underlying ideology, I really became committed to this idea while reading about the FDP in Germany, a party I have always had respect for. They have a saying that, when translated, means that the state should be “as big as necessary, and as small as possible”. I thought this to be a very brilliant and succinct statement of political intent. The FDP will stand for government to fill the roles it needs to, but no more. A state that encourages private enterprise, hard work, and freedom. A government under the FDP will never get in your way; it will always be behind you, spurring you on to new heights and new successes. Efficient government, energetic government, effective government. That is the Free Democratic Party, and we encourage you to join our ranks!
I am, etc.

sounds cool dawg, have fun with that
=000
IM IN!!
We need someone to replace the PCP when they crash out of the Top 5. 🙂
Can't let the BP Party have it now can we?
Forward FDP \o/
FDPamaxx!
Wow considering the time this was posted this got votes quickly. How many orgs do you guys have? O_o
Is this going to be some kind of super party that crushes all it's opposition?
I kind of blinked out after reading it was Democratic....
Viva Arthur! o/
... as the Germans are voting in 10 days this almost seems like political advertising in e-world! 🙂
might work, get some strong players and then get alot of people to catch up with the top 5, good plan
LSD tried to do this and failed.
ooo cool
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Marge! Can you set the oven to cold?
sounds a bit off, how can you cut the size of government and still push people onto greater things. Sounds like the death of Albion to me
Another use of 100 orgs, to misrepresent the six people who actually voted 😛
Good luck with your party, but I would mention last time this was tried it failed as Malta said.
go fdp, good luck
so, yet another centrist party, following the same rough lines as all the others. probably either slightly right or slightly left leaning. probably libertarian as well. forgive my cynicism but i'm fairly confident that this new party will say nothing new and merely be yet another extension of the current political dead end we're trapped in.
I'll be joining.
and i love the way the tht lvl 3 above me is saying that our political system is dead. What does he know 😛
We old ones (and I'm not tht old) have been around a lot longer 😛
Ive joined 🙂
I can count at least 30 orgs from that group
AT LEAST
Also,
>Necrosis
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH oh you're serious.
It will be interesting to see what this 'new' Party will offer on the political landscape. However, it seems there is potential for this group to become another 'old boys group'!
We at Free Britain wish you the best of luck and hope you can contribute to the political discussion within the country!
As one of the former Vanguard guys that joined this party, I can assure you that our opinions matter in the FDP.
Voted and subbed
Best of luck. Hopefully political competition to keep us all honest...
cool story bro.
Sounds to me like an elitist group of very experienced (and admittedly capable) players who if elected would like to keep all of the real power for themselves. Strange to call it the Free Democracy Party when it seems to me that it would be more like a dictatorship. I fail to see how a government led by this party would listen to the general voting public. Vote TUP.
Indeed, neither Free nor Democratic.
Personally, I can see this party gaining support because of the people it contains, not their policies. I'm surprised its not called "Team eUK, Defenders of the Faith"
Sounds fab, I'll join when I can
