It is vitally important that you FIGHT IN MADRID. Fight hard, it is a huge important battle. Cheers
Greetings, first off I would like to thank you all for voting for me in the past elections, and give me the chance to run the country one last time. As I'm sure you are aware, I was pretty adament that this term would be one of progression for our nation. I aim to get our lost regions back, whilst helping our allies within Phoenix attack (France), defend (Germany) but also; to survive (the rest of our great Phoenix allies). The past month has been one of mixed fortunes. Whilst the UK, Estonia and Germany have lost regions and Russia has faced a severe PTO threat, nations such as Hungary, Brazil Serbia and France have enjoyed quite a few successful excursions into EDEN nations. Although only France and Brazil have managed to keep up the momentum on their side and are at present, doing pretty well.
Whilst on the grander scheme of things we are doing well, we have quite a few domestic issues to face. Firstly, the relationship between our Military and our Political structures has broken down. Many will try to state that it is just TUP (The Unity Party) who has had a problem with the military, I really think such statements are short sighted. The relationship between the Military and the state as a whole (including non-military) has broken down; exacerbated by the theft of our military companies (which was later undone due to illegal actions.) The main goal of my administration will not only be to help the domestic structures regain their viscosity and effect, but also to ensure that this breakdown in relations within our state is fixed, and create systems which will ensure that our country isn't tapered by such a state of affairs again.
I hope that you will support me in my endeavours this month; to help the UK (and everyone in it) please make sure you give the following links a quick look; if you don't know what they are, give them a click and get involved!

You need to drink more guiness, its the cure for all problems
"Many will try to state that it is just TUP (The Unity Party) who has had a problem with the military"
All parties have clearly had issues with the military, but effectively what has happened is the UKRP has pointed out a flaw in the system, since the TUP have the majority of congress and the CP and are refusing to back big-Joe Pryde's repeal, the question becomes, what are the TUP going to do about it?
Fuck the military, bring back the MoD or stop paying for them.

'later undone due to illegal actions'
Illegal recovery from a legal theft?
Legal recovery because of illegal theft?

It is true that France and Brazil have come back with huge success, demolishing the once mighty Spain in short order.
eUK however is in a much less comfortable position, with our Armed Forces in a state of semi-disarray, half of our regions under foreign occupation and constant disagreement amongst our political parties.
The next two weeks will be a good test of how effective Jamesw really is as a President. I watch with anticipation..

@Iain keers
You have missed my point completely, what i'm saying is that there are alot of disgruntled people in the eUK and the solutions (whether you think right or wrong) being put forward by the UKRP are being rejected due to a TUP majority. The TUP have therefore created this position for themselves:
1. implement a different policy (because you disagree with the UKRP policy) and gain the credit if it works/ blame if it fails
2. implement the policies we are suggesting (because you agree with them)
3. Do nothing
It is clear that if the TUP are united then ultimately the decision is yours to make and yours to live with. I'm not saying you will necessarily make the wrong decision, just that you have to make one!
@Michael Crookes
The only solution I have seen from the UKRP is blind support of repeal. It is obviously not in the best interests of the country to do so, for the reasons I have pointed out above.
I really don't see any UKRP policy on the matter at all- or on anything else if I am honest. If you want to prove me wrong, I suggest you point out UKRPs well constructed policy on the matter.
We as a party believe in actually doing things for logical, not populist reasons. UKRP have taken this opportunity to jump on a bandwagon of anti-TUP feeling within the military, caused by safety checks we have put in place. It is irresponsible at best to support a position which could leave the UK completely undefended and lacking companies simply to win the short term support of certain military people.

@Iain Keers, out policy is simple, repeal the act, just because you don't agree with the policy or see its potential doesn't invalidate it. And as for the reasons for supporting this, it constricts the army, politicizing the military and showing a distinct lack of trust in the military to deal with their own security etc. Also, you can't discount our policy because it is "populist", all you are saying there is that people outside the UKRP agree with our proposal.
FIGHT IN MADRID
oh, the battle was closed 13 hours ago 😒
jamesw kidnapped Keira.
@Michael Crookes
"a distinct lack of trust in the military to deal with their own security etc."
You do realise the entire military was stolen by someone not even on the defence staff?
Sir No offense but you do realize we are being invaded
Join me and fight in the east midlands
We will Remember them
1914-2010
someone stole your entire military? that explains a few things, but are you sure they aren't just hiding?
