[I&W] A reflection on Boklevski
Garmr
To start off, I respect Boklevski and participated in a number of governments with him.
It was a while back, it is good that he is becoming more active in politics again.
Strange program.
Both your main goals are requirements to be a president. A goal is something to be accomplished during your term.
That being said, you have three minor goals.
One of them is enforcing a passed law. Again, this shouldn't be a goal, it is a duty.
I agree on the two other points and hope you will fulfill them if you win.
Another point I am worried about, is that you still have not yet appointed all your ministers and secretaries, less than 32 hours before the election starts. Already now you begin to shows cracks in your transparency. In my opinion the CP election is not just about one person, but also to see on what kind of team you vote. This is also a great advantage over the congressional government, because it is transparency in it's finest! It might just be you forgot to update, but that is kinda the same as a president who forgot to post about an emergency military procedure.
Low activity.
Aside from that, how will you be able to run this country with so little irc activity (irc.rizon.net #eUNL)? This country is build by good communication between its members, and also our contact with Phoenix goes mainly through irc. Do you have the activity level to really fulfill this task? It's quite a big step from chairman of congress to country president.
Low experience.
Boklevski, as far as I know your experience is limited to being party president, some terms as minister of finance and chairman of congress. How will you be able to make important decisions on all the different topics at hand in our country, military for example. Yes, you have a great prime minister, but he shouldn't be making decisions for you. You need to be strong and have the knowhow on all areas of the game. I feel you lack this.
I hope you can prove me wrong for the sake of all voters.
Sincere regards,
Garmr
2x Minister of Economics, State Companies and Raws
1x Vice Party President of Iron and Wine
1x Minister of Recruitment and Coaching
3x Minister of Raw Materials
3x Head Ambassador
2x Army Supplier
4x eUNL Elite
Also, please understand this one thing. I have not been everyone's friend, and this also plays a part why certain parties side with Boklevski instead of me. In the past months I have played in the interest of my party and of my ministry, and defended as hard as I could against, in my eyes, threats to it. When I am president everyone is in my interest, so please understand this.

lame.
dont start talking about how bad other candidates are. just tell us how good YOU are.
lame.
I do that as well, and in addition I ask questions.
Reflections get written every time during elections.
if you want to win this election with presenting yourself in such way, fine by me, i guess people can make up their mind about it themselves. I only don't see how you could work together with the congress, and this is a reflection by me, i don't think you are able too deal with congress, just to look at the past, about your contributions inside congress/public. You are a devider, not an uniter.
At the moment we need an uniter, Boklevski can provide it.
Indeed; it's time to put the overindulged I&W kleptocracy outo to pasture for a month or two.
My contributions have been numerous. Believing in your own lies does not make them truthful.
Pierre Delvaux, In case you forgot, the current CP is GLd, not I&W 😉
Get with the times.
@ Shakerr and Pierre
Are you here to troll around or offer a discussion. Garmr's strategy in this article can be easily defeated if you just prove him wrong.
You complain that he is taking cheap shots and so are you. 2 wrongs makes a right?
Also you said Garmr does not get along with congress, but if I remember, at least he does not call people authoritarian since they disagree with you... With that logic, you are not a "uniter" yourself.
This lead to the problem of the slippery slope in which people just fling insults at each other and debate becomes to be an argument. You want to hurt Garmr, fine. Address the activity and experience issue.
Regardless, good luck to both candidates. May the best man wins.
I see the article starts with [I&W], yet is published in your newspaper. Is this a personal article, or did (a democratic majority of) I&W fully support it?
The comment about lower activity on IRC has been raised by Mitch a few days ago. I have tried to improve this, and actually succeeded (in my opinion). I will seek to keep this up. Besides, my activity on the forum is - I think - beyond doubt (especially being Chairman of Congress last 3 months).
Futhermore, experience is not determined by a title. For example: yes, maybe you have been "Minister of SC". But that does not say that everybody who wasn't Minister of SC doesn't have any experience in that area. There are a lot of people who have major experience in SC, not because they have been Minister or SS, but because they participated in the debates, thought about solutions, and worked together - each to their abilities - to get it improved.
Everybody is equally important in such debates!
Being Minister is no guarantee of experience, and you can can be experienced without having been Minister.
The rest of you arguments: let's discuss them during the CP debate this afternoon!

In my opinion both of you have just as much experience.
And what is it that you achieved during your ministries? Tell us something about that.. I work(ed) at a state company and I had to deal with lack of raw materials there and lack of money.. making me leave the company.
And why are Boklevski's goals considered as standard duties a president has and your goals aren't? You guarantee a babyboom, active government, transparency and wars.. all which can be considered standard duties.
Myers11 as Prime Minister AND Minister of Foreign Affairs .. is he active enough to do even one of those jobs, let alone TWO jobs?
Less focus on other candidates and more focus on telling why people should vote for you.
Baby boom is been promised for more than a year. It would be interesting to see how it will be achieved. It needs mre than words on IRC or text on the forum.
Any way good luck, the eNetherlands will need it.
