[TUP] Policies and Congress members
Bohemond4
Military
The Unity Party supports the continued place of Legion as National Military Unit for the eUK. We will also be backing the increase of strikes through the week depending on finances and feasibility of arranging them.
As for an increase of wars, we would aim to see a Training War be set up as soon as possible, though we will not back a neglection of our duty to support our allies in their wars as they have supported us many times in our wars.
The Unity Party is also open to the idea of restoring the NHS as a functioning Military Unit should there be a public demand for it, though it is a recognised fact that private Military Units already do a good job and have NHS funding for young players already.
Foreign Affairs
The Unity Party supports a continuation of our good relations with our allies and neighbours as well as the smooth continuation of MPPs between months. We also support the integration of the eUK into any successor alliance of ONE and making sure that we are protected form a long wipe in the future. While we aim to get a Training War up as soon as possible, The Unity Party recognises that there are dangers from other nations should we leave ourselves unprotected and while our allies are too busy engaged elsewhere to assist us. Practicality over failure is our maxim here.
Domestic
The Unity Party thinks it is critical to maximise the inclusion of young players into government, in observation and minor roles. Fostering relations between the eager youth and the experienced veterans can only serve to benefit the country as a whole and it has the secondary function of developing a pool of future ministers.
Furthermore, we will support the continuation of the Grant scheme for Young players in relation to their Training Grounds as it continues to help get them a leg up in the world and can only serve to make the eUK stronger.
The government should be directly accountable to the people and the cabinet should be open to answering questions about MPP, spending and alliances as well as releasing regular reports to the public.
Forums
The Unity Party believes that a fair and impartial system of forum governance is essential for the UK. That means that the ultimate authority must be a non-partisan person who can judge based on no preconceptions. In this case those people are Kumnaa and Nelsaidi. Most of you won’t know who those people are, but they own the forums, and were players way back in beta. Neither of them play any more, and have no ties to any party.
We do not believe that just because a lot of people ask for the unbanning of a member means that they should automatically be unbanned, rather, it is down to the senior members of the moderation team, whoever they may be.
Citizenship
All citizenship applications should be judged exactly the same. The only reasons citizens are not accepted is if they:
*Fought against the UK directly over a long period of time
*Fought against our allies to the detriment of the UK
*Are from an enemy country (PTO threats)
*Betrayed the UK in a dramatic fashion (stole, gave away plans or companies, left mid-war to fight against us)
In these cases we think it is clear that someone shouldn’t have an automatic right of return but must prove themselves. An apology would also be nice. Repeat offenders should be permanently refused citizenship.

Nice article by the way Behomond, dont agree with it obviously (especially the forum bit) but it is a good read.
You don't agree with the article as a whole or just some parts of it Hugh?
It says TUP in it, hence the "obviously" not agreeing : P
Good to see again some new promising candidates.
Voted & shouted!
Good Luck TUP! o7
Petitioning to have New Era renamed "FREE GOKU".

Anyway good luck all o7
Good luck to everyone mentioned.
@alittlec - the forum part mainly. It is well written but its kind of a joke to imply that the forum moderators arent either a, biased or b, petty as there has been many examples posted and always just ignored.
Brilliant joke Ferk you should do stand up mate...in fact do you have any material out there? Dvd's? audio cassettes? anything? You should have because your the most hillarious bloke i have ever come across. Top work fella
Hail TUP!
Good Luck !! o/
I do but I'm afraid they're in Dutch. Since you don't even seem to be able to form correct English sentences I doubt Dutch would be a good idea.
Nice SUM. I really liked it 😉
Ahhh Frerk again with the forum elite side creeping in. Always have to have a go at Grammar...bedroom politics at its finest O7
Wait...but your comment about free Goku wasn't used in the correct grammar either. Wouldnt that make you a hypocrite? NO??? SURELY NOT???
