What this country needs now
VoodooMike71
Today is Congress election day.
Yeah … I know … I was surprised too.
This is my “what do you mean there’s an election today?” face
The reason I’m surprised is because NOT ONE OF THE TOP FIVE PARTIES HAVE BOTHERED WRITING AN ELECTION ARTICLE
Or your vote.
Or anyone’s fecking vote.
Huh? HUH?
Simply not good enough chaps. Not good enough at all.
ESO telling off the naughty scamps from URPK, PUT, BAPS, RWP and PUKE (or whatever the hell they’re all called)
We need a solution, and we need one fast. And … luckily … there is one. And it’s easy.
As previously highlighted the current top five parties are, without exception, a waste of time. So if you’re a member of UKRP, TUP, BP, WRP or UKPP, simply leave. Now.
And come and join ESO instead.
Because if you join ESO you'll help us get into the top five. And when we're in the top five things will change (for the better, obviously). For a start, you won't see an empty media on election day. And there'll be so much more good stuff on top of that. Clearly I'm not going to tell you what that good stuff will be - you have to join us to find out.
Secretly you've been wanting to join ESO anyway, because deep down you just know that ESO is the warm, comforting, fun-filled home for which you’ve been searching. And we understand that - in the past - you’ve been nervous about leaving your current party and joining us in ESO. Walking up to the cool kids and asking if you can play too is always tough. But don’t be afraid - we really are as welcoming and friendly (but not in a creepy way) as we seem. With a PP called Sir Jimmy Savile we have to be.
So, it’s time to cast aside the chains of familiarity and bury the burden of inertia. It’s time to do something for both yourself and your country.
It’s time to join ESO.
Because ESO is love.
Carlton is one of ESO’s longest-standing members. And just look at how happy he is.

ESO is love.
ESO is life.
I was gonna write one.
Couldn't be arsed, though.
Don't worry
your media drought will soon come to an end
just start a military coup and soon the media will be flooded with articles (hate articles but articles none the less)
Its what the dong heads at eAustralia did
The ESO party just spam,I would rather read nothing,than the same two people telling me to join an empty party of two shouters Who also have congressmen running who also didn't produce an article until hours into the election.Pot kettle springs to mind.
ESO haven't put anyone up for congress this time around. Check your facts before shooting your mouth off.
However, nice to see you've flown into a rage over what is essentially a light-hearted article. Although - obviously - while you're happy to have a go at me and ESO, you haven't bothered defending your party's lack of communication in the run-up to this election (or, for that matter, the previous CP election when Paul ran).
Oh, and I was CP a few terms ago. Unlike your last CP, I was active throughout my term as CP. And up until the couple of terms ago, members of ESO have been in place in key government roles (like vCP, MoD, MoHA etc). That's hardly what I'd call "just spam". We're a small party with a third of the members of TUP, and yet in the last year we've had just as much representation in government as TUP. Perhaps you should look at your own party before attacking others.
If I were you I'd crawl back from whence you came, and continue to "rather read nothing".
You've had more representation than TUP
I haven't been in TUP for a long time so please Check your facts before shooting your mouth off. What I'm reading between the lines is The ESO Party didn't organized themselves or didn't have the bodies to send to others parties to run for congress, Shame I was thinking of joining,think I will change my mind now and crawl back into my cave.The reason we have 0 articles is as 0 people care.Without my response it would have stayed that way.
You've been TUP PP several times already - I have checked my facts.
You've been TUP for quite a while I'd argue actually
ESO broke into the top 5 just 1 year ago and had a spectacular Congress elections - https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/congress-elections/29/0/1445756400
It showed that at that time there was still a yearning for something a bit different from the usual suspects but sadly despite toppings the polls the following month and a couple of months later. The reality was it was really just froth and little substance and combined with the limitations of a declining country nothing changed.
ESO has always had a low membership. When we break into the top five we often get good support from people across a range of parties. But our membership levels are constantly teetering on the edge.
We regularly punch above our weight in any area you care to measure. Who knows what we could do with a stable top five place?
I remember a time when ESO was the second largest and most ative party in the eUK, with players such as Carlini, Lily, Jamesw and Rodders, so they haven't 'always been a small party'. Nowadays though Paul is correct, ESO offer nothing and have done so for a long time now.
You'll forgive me if I disregard you as a has-been crook. K? Good.
(nice work on blagging TUP into standing you for Congress though)
There was no blagging, I simply turned up, stood in line and someone handed me a medal, same as becoming TRS PP.
You can disregard me as whatever you like, I speak the truth. Which is probably why you wish to disregard it.
Well we won't achieve anything by arguing over the past - what's done is done and I've made the mistakes before of trying to fight old battles that had already been fought and lost.
If you want to argue over who's done what - let's also blame PCP, WRP an UKRP for supporting Chewie!
Point is the eUK needs everyone who is prepared to make a positive contribution - we only had 35 candidates for Congress this month across the main 5 parties, so considering there's now 5 Gold available, that's pretty depressing in itself.
Several H bombs; that´s what it needs.
Aw, heck no.
Who Really trusts the left anyway? The WRP-PCP coalition is dark and mysterious
very very dark indeed
All top 5 parties suck, none of them promise to AS Singapore...
I do that's everyday
I would do, PN, but really can't be arsed.
Russian spy!
Я не знаю, что ты говоришь.
Oh. Fair enough comrade 😉
Remember when you were my walkabout stalker? Little did I know you were "assigned" to me by the Политбюро. Happy days.
What is really needed is a "none of the above" option on the ballot
This will be pain in the ass, believe me 😉

lmao "what this country needs now" not u party politics will create disunity we need unity xd mate gift us by stopping so spam xx
Technically spam and entertainment should be covered by MoENT/MoSB, but nobody knows who's supposed to be doing that this month as nothing has been published.
Sounds like the job has been taken on by the sort of person who loves grabbing government positions even though they have a history of doing f*ck all.
Maybe if you looked at the media you'll see that I did an article and maybe you should take time to realise that shit happens and I've been snowed under unexpectedly with work.
I don't often have strong negative feelings, but I am full of contempt for you. Fuck you. Fuck this game. I've made friends from it, but know you have brought me dread from logging in to see your infantile arguments and articles
Love you too.
My belly has got too big for my spiderman costume
I dunno Mike. ESO couldn't be bothered to ask one of the top 5 parties to run some of your candidates either.
I've given up, this game is dead. But I'll vote your articles, cause they're always entertaining.
How dare you! It wasn't because we couldn't be bothered. It's because our CP forgot.
"PP". Jimmy's time as CP is coming, but hasn't happened yet.
Outrageous slurs, there are good reasons to vote UKRP right here https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2617901/1/20
