Politics: CP-election - Asking the candidate(s)!

Day 2,754, 01:14 • Published in Norway Norway • by Zinitus

When it, last Wednesday, become clear, the fact we would get two candidates to this CP-election, I send equally, to both, some questions for the purpose of clarifying the different options. This morning I`ve got Joshuas answers, but it`s still uncertain wheter M. de Ruyter will give his answers to the same questions. If he chooses I will add his answers too, in an update!

My questions to the candidates:

1. Why do you seek the Country Presidency?

Joshua:

“I had been planning to run again recently but when Xibbard wanted to run I held back to let others get involved. My main reason is because I see our alliance, Nebula, as flawed and I would like to have an active role in reforming the alliance and our foreign affairs."


2. What are your main, key issues in this election?

Joshua:

“For me it is to review our position within Nebula and to examine if it is probable to move forward as an alliance member. I would like to further expand our relations with the UK as they have become a very valuable regional partner.”


3. What do you consider the most important political differences between you, how will your presidency differ from your opponent?

Joshua:

“If you would asked me this when we first ran against each other, I would had a giant list. Since then however we have learned to work very well together. I would say perhaps is our experience. MdR's experience is drawn from his multiple times serving as CP and his heavy foreign affairs experience where as I draw upon my experience as leading alliances which is also foreign affairs experience but a very different role from being an alliance leader to a MoFA.”


4. Whom will be offered positions in your government team?

Joshua:

“Anyone is free to apply, I know Xibbard and Kesha will be in my government right now but positions will be open to any who apply.”


5. And at last: In your own words, what would you highlight, as your advantage over your opponent?

Joshua:

“My advantage over MdR is my experience here in Norway. He may have been CP more times than myself however I have lived in Norway for years more than MdR and I know the community a lot more as well as our collective history as a country. All my CP experiences have been here in Norway, every time I have lead an alliance (7x Asgard SC) it was as a Norwegian Representative.”
