The Real UKRP Manifesto!
•
by Bob Boblo
It occured to me, as it may have to others, that a lot of [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/press_release-35082.html]UKRPs recent manifesto[/a] was pretty irrelevent and pointless, so to help voters judge them I decided to filter it.
The points social 2, political 3, economic 2, 5, 7 and 8, international 1,2 and 4 are already in place or in discussion, hence, we can filter these out, because as the opposition party, the voters would like to know what they will do better than the current government and not which of the current government policies they like and will continue/imitate.
Social 1 can be filtered because UKRP will be involved in constitutional talks whether elected or not.
Social 3 can be filtered because there is already an API community in place, and as no details of V1s release there is no gurantee this policy can be passed in their term if elected.
Political 1 can be filtered becuase it will make no difference. The current minsiters are doing fine, and those put forward by PPs will be the same as those who planned to apply in the current system.
Political 4 can be filtered because agian, very few people have lots of jobs and those that do have jobs tha currently don't involve much. (e.g. Widdows was MoD over the last month but the role doen't require much in a time of peace.)
Political 5 will make no difference because there is allready plentiful external debate and you don't need to be elected in order to 'encourage' something.
Economic 1 can be filtered because it is already the case, because the current government isn't 'directly intervening' in 'price fixing, setting prices, or the establishment of clearly defined hiring and firing practices' becuse the social responsibilty contract is a set of guidlines not a set of laws.
Economic 4 can be filtered because the only nationalised company are the training companies
Economic 6 can be filtered because UKRP have stated explicity, many times, including on their party page that they don't believe the government should show bias or have affiliation towards particular comapnies. Hence, considering this is such a betrayal of their ideals we can't really be sure they will push this through congress.
Military 1 can be filtered because the reserves have been discussed often before, and it has been decided several times that there isn't any ways of improving the reserves and hence this will probably never materialise.
Military 2 can be filtered because those within the military have stated that lowering the strength requirement would make the paras ineffective and hence this policy will never materialise.
Internatioal 3 can be filtered because there is no guarantee V1 will be out during the next term and it is expected the current government would support this anyway.
And, if we iignore the flashy intro, seeing as it has no policy, then this would be The Real UKRP Manifesto in its entirity...
"The UK Reform Party, a Manifesto...
..."
Well, is you think that 6 word masterpeice warrants a change in governenment despite the brilliant job of the current one, then you now know who to vote for.

Who stole your paper Bob?
I thought i was subscribed.
I sold it as I was going to take over Newcastle Matters when Frufru took over. Never materialised though.
Nice article, informative to voters.
A good article, points out the flaws in the opposition without getting offensive, maybe it will be followed by civil comments aswell 😃.
I would write a article about the flaws in PCP... but then I\'d have lot\'s off comments saying tl:dr
made me laugh.
Lol @ Shadow.
Very nice propoganda. Nice to see the PCP has backed off it\'s \"Everyone makes fun of us\" excuses though.
Oh, and anyone who listens to Bob Boblo as the \"written word\" for the good of the UK should and probably already will vote for the PCP anyhow. So good show!
Pretty good!
Bob is back with a vengence 😁. Well written 😃
I do love a good Bob article.
\"I would write a article about the flaws in PCP\"
Go for it, i make you a promise that if it is inoffensive and only points out genuine flaws all replies will contain answers and we will debate these as best we can.
It saddens me to see that eUK politics are beginning to mirror those in RL.
As a voter I would immediately distance myself from any individual who spends time and effort rubbishing someone else; time spent looking at or implementing plans to make eUK stronger and better would be time much better spent!
so your not going to vote UKRP either then certacito?
Erm...alll my points were substantiated, its hardly slander.
Bob, the PCP seemed to harp on about how \'mud-slinging\' in order to gain power is not the proper way to do things. This, whether you like it or not is an attack on the UKRP manifesto, no matter how valid your points may be there is no denying that this is \'mud-slinging\'.
It\'s called a joke mate. It\'s satirical, even Shadow and Dish took it that way.
No, it\'s propoganda. Whether it is a joke or not (doesn\'t seem to be from my point of view..) it\'s still \'mud-slinging\'.
It wasn\'t mud slinging, the points were substantiated....
an example of mudslinging.
OOOO free marketers, they are evil and will make us die to inflation.
Example of substantited claim
Sometimes the free market can cause inflation. This is caused by too much wage and price competition in a sector. Wages get higher and prices lower at the same time. This can cause the sector to collapse.
*note these are examples, making a point about mudslinging not about the economy
You\'re not really listning to what I\'m saying. You are attacking another party in order to promote your own, this by its very deffinition in my eyes is \'mud-slinging\'.
The second paragraph is ridiculous. Of course it\'s useful to know what policies will be supported and continued if an opposition party takes over. And who are these \'the voters\' you mention in that paragraph? Are you sure you don\'t just mean you?
\'You\'re not really listning to what I\'m saying. You are attacking another party in order to promote your own, this by its very deffinition in my eyes is \'mud-slinging\'.\'
Your definitions are rubbish then. You\'re making a mountain out of a complete molehill. It\'s a bit of a joke and a satirical article. Anyway, attacking another party to promote your own is the whole point of politics. If you never attacked another party on policy then you\'d never get in power. Picking holes in opponents\' arguments to further your own party is commonplace and 100% acceptable. UKRP always attack us on policy so they are mud slinging then? No.
But saying we\'re red scum and stalinists is mud slinging. And your party like doing that as well...
this is hilarious theyve got such thin skins!!
Nice to see we can keep things civil widdows. This is my very point, UKRP are very often accused of \'mud-slinging\' and rightly so in many cases. I am simply stating that when we do it you critisize and then go and do it yourself. By all means arm your mud cannons but don\'t call the kettle black.
HOW IS THIS MUD SLINGING? IT\'S CALLED A SATIRAL JOKE!! IF THIS WAS REAL MUD SLINGING DISH AND SHADOW WOULD BE GOING MENTAL BUT THEY TOOK IT AS A JOKE. YOU\'RE JUST TRYING TO CAUSE MORE TROUBLE BY BLOWING IT OUT OF PROPORTION.
\"IF THIS WAS REAL MUD SLINGING DISH AND SHADOW WOULD BE GOING MENTAL BUT THEY TOOK IT AS A JOKE\"
what makes you think I\'m not going mental??? Have you already checked that I\'m not standing behind your desk chair with a knife... Slowly waiting for you to turn around...
I don\'t really see how I\'m causing trouble but hey. Sure it can be a joke, but who says jokes can\'t dig at other partys? All I\'m saying is on one hand the PCP frowns upon \'\'\'mud-slinging\'\'\', and on the other an article such as this is perfectly ok and a joke.
ugh. he better not have.. report him if hes using a multi..
Huh?
