[PCP]Congress Report + Battleships Round 3
Alfa UKSF
45 Days ago, I resigned my admittedly self-assumed and unlikely RP position as 'Speaker of the House of Commons' after some appearances on Italian TV shouting "Ordur Ordurrr!" like a performing monkey and releasing a book that no one will read, I noticed the lack of reports from Congress since that time.
Whilst the hearsay is that congressional discussion has been somewhat muted of late since a number of members dropped out of the thread, I can only attest to what the Best Pirate Cats have been doing.
Proposals 3, 5, 8 & 10 were regulation movements of cash from the national account into the waiting grasp of Huey and his web of Monetary Market Orgs.
These sail through as a matter of course and generally will only meet opposition if congress suspects that the Minister of Finance is either siphoning funds off inappropriately (unlikely) or unable to check or resist a CP ordering him/her/them to do so.
Needless to say the PCP backed these proposals.
Proposals 2 and 4 were responses to a potential airstrike upon the UK that required some strategic movement around the UK map and again were backed by the party.
Proposals 1 and 6 were the ever prevalent impeachment proposals which ofc were rejected although there was a small uptick in PCPers showing support for the proposal, perhaps a concern over the worry that we are becoming a defacto dictatorship due to only one player ever wanting to run?!
Proposals 7 and 9 were the more controversial resource concession proposals the renewal of which did not ask for debate (apparently).
PCP offered the main opposition to these two actions as one of the three affected players is a member of the party and even though a number of us benefit from Spanish Bonuses, we were more inclined to protect the younger UKer over the potential CC (which only gets stored due to lack of gov programs) by voting no or abstaining.
23 players made a shot in Round 3 and 7 recorded hits on my fleet.

"perhaps a concern over the worry that we are becoming a defacto dictatorship due to only one player ever wanting to run?!"
Appreciate that you clarified it's because Apples is the only one wanting to run, although I would offer a correction, swap out wanting to willing. It's been known for some time that Apples has been very keen to encourage others to run so he can take a break. If the PCP is worried about a Dictatorship, maybe they should put themselves forward for the responsibility?

They were free and fair elections, if the PCP put up candidates and they didn't win then I'm sorry but you have every opportunity to garner support from the other parties, to my knowledge the TUP aren't part of any alliance that ensures a candidate from other parties get in.
For example, last election the TUP held a poll to determine who we were going to support, If Appleby isn't going to stand again and the PCP wants to put up a candidate, then in the TUP they will be held to an equal standing as anyone else from any other party, (Unless we put up a candidate ourselves of course) and will have just as much chance to be supported by the TUP as anyone else.
No one is saying there isn't a potential body of people out there, the reality is that no one else seems to be putting themselves forward, hence Appleby has reluctantly had to continue. Trust me when I say he is very much looking forward to his break at the end of this term and has no intentions whatsoever of becoming a Dictator!

Flying Kittens:
I'm currently in a unit without supplies, and Alfa has made it clear to me that BH gold should go to the players who aren't being supplied by the gov or a patron as their need is the greatest, so I will no longer be respecting any BH claims for members of your MU.
Felt it was only fair to let you guys know up front rather than by stealing a medal from one of you in the last minute of a battle.
Nothing personal.
