As a citizen of the United Kingdom I am disappointed in my government and my congress.
Governments are meant to work for the benefit of the whole of the nation. Congress is meant to represent the will of the people. I strongly feel neither are doing what they should be. I have heard no communication of what congress is doing; nothing on the feeds, no PM's and no articles. Literally I have seen nothing that is going on from congress's perspective and I don't know what plans or ideas representatives have.
Painting other people as 'the bad guy' diverts attention away from you own short comings for only so long.
I have seen articles from the MoD telling us to fight here or there but no other information. No why, no priority explanation and absolutely no other communication from this department. Other departments are no better. MoF, MoHA, MoFA, Mr President I am not currently informed on your activities. To say I am disappointed would be accurate. I did see an article with information the other day which I was pleased to see, but I don't remember another article from the government this term.
To our CP, to our government and to our congress; please communicate with the people of the UK. There is a dictator in the UK but there are things to talk about. What have you suggested to the dictator? What has he said to you? What are your plans in working with the dictator/ working against the dictator? How can we move the UK forward?

Just compare MoD articles before and now and you'll see the clear difference. If he cared at all he wouldn't appoint a complete stranger who just "woke up" as MoD. Even our Rizon #MoD channel is destroyed (have no idea who did it tbf).
I too am disappointed!
How could we expect anything at all

I feel the communication had worsen 'only' on Presidential and Ministry level. Congress is for long lacking communication with the mass imho.
Congress have been active, at least in the congress threads - although it is slowly dying down. Part of the problem is that any congress discussions is pointless as anything discussed and decided upon doesn't get acted upon or forwarded etc. Not wishing to pass the buck as someone in congress, but this month has been a damp squid due to a lack of direction or leadership from the cabinet in general.
I think it is telling there have been a number of articles and comments about a lack of apparent activity and people like Huey haven't responded to defend their performances. Next elections we need a CP with a bit more va va voom...
As a Congress member that feels that info is not being passed down or moved up, why not write an article about what Congress have been discussing. Take a pro-active role, let the entire public see what you have been doing. I'm not involved in the Congress PM's, so I'm not privvy to the details, I'm as blind as a regular eUker with regards to Congress and Government.
Squids are supposed to be damp.
Pussy too
Fully agreed.
I do comment. I bring out articles letting people know what's happening from my perspective. If people don't read them, then it's their loss.
As congress under a dictatorship, there's only so much we can do and it would appear that a number of congressmen have resigned themselves to this fact, effectively giving up if not outright resigning their seat. At least some of us remain active...
I read your articles, and I think your newspaper is one of the best in the UK. Your articles though are about what is going on in the mass PM Wayne set up and not the congress mass PM (I assume congress has a mass PM).
If there were things happening in congress, I'd report them (in time - too busy to write articles all the time). Since the congress message I'm in seems to have degenerated into mudslinging and accusations of late, rather than anything constructive. Doesn't help that our cabinet is far from useful.
Who is writing the MoFA articles anyway? It sure isn't Aleks...
we all know that sometimes we are too busy in our rl. but Huey as a CP should at least spend 2 hours in erep and make some articles.
and he should make his cabinet to work.

Far easier to do nothing and bitch about wayne, than to actually roll your sleeves up and try to change things
Wayne's played a clever game, he's took power and deflected all the blame for inactivity by pretending to work with congress/ministers etc. You're right that congress/government should have tried to do something, overthrow him, or at least promote the idea - or even try and work with him. But the will of the people, represented by congress, is divided on the having Wayne as dictator so nothing happened.
I've made no effort to 'work' with Congress or Cabinet, I've given Congress and the Government every chance to do something.
"I gave Huey full reign to operate his Government using the orgs, I elected his Cabinet to the Politics page in an effort to give them legitimacy and encourage some form of functionality."
"I even gave permission for Congress to influence my decisions on issues that were historically Congress issues."
That's not working with Congress and Cabinet? You've not given congress/the pretend gov any opportunity to do anything, the only thing of value they could do requires lots of cash, which you control.
The Cabinet is able to do everything they have always done. The only one missing anything is Huey and all he's missing is a few extra buttons that in all likelyhood he wouldn't have used anyway.
Whats this thing of value that requires lots of cash?
Congress have no buttons: neither for proposals nor votes. The way MPP voting has changed creates a crisis too. MPPs are being approved well before even 12 hours discussion.
As to budget, none has been proposed so no money votes have been needed. No loss so far. 1% Work Tax was created out of the blue.
Granting citizenship now sits solely with the dictator. While it probably is advantageous to centralize authorization -- no vote has been called before Congress on a single applicant. It has swung to the other extreme now.
That said, there are no active aims being bandied about other than treaty discussions.
The entire dynamic tension that leads to government decisions has been gutted. 5 days before elections the dictator is finally included in Congress threads which he immediately opens with a challenge undermining what Congress do. Too little, too late for this term.
I am not prepared to let this go on for another term an vote in favour of return to civil rule so that we can do this dictator experiment properly.
whether Congress have buttons or no buttons, it doesn't seem to make a difference. eUK public very rarely gets information passed down.
it takes 24 hours to change a proposal. If you are unhappy with 1% work tax, write an article extoling the virtues of a higher tax percentage.
Bug Fight and produce for information on immigration, he's set up and is in control of a gdoc, giving eUKers a quick snapshot of potential appllicants. I've only let in those that fall way above the already high thresold that the gDoc has set.
I'm not here to set 'aims' and 'goals' to work towards. That is up to eUK to collectivly come up with said aims and goals. Use the media to enthuse others to your suggestions. It can be a very powerful tool when used correctly.
I too agree it would have been sensible to have me included in the Congress PM's. But I didn't set them up, so I can't be held account to that.
I didn't undermine Congress at all. I simply told you how Congress works, whether we have a CP or a dictator, Congresses role is the same. It is there to hold those postions to account for their actions. Like I said, if you are unhappy about it, write an article.
