[CP Elections] Alfagrem - Governance
Grampa Alfagrem
As previously outlined - The major theme of my campaign for the presidency is to carry out a re-organization of the government by separating the key ministries from the whims of the monthly electoral cycle and accusation of cronyism.
Establishment of the Ministries
Purpose
To establish within the realm of the UK the separate ministries of Finance, Defence and Foreign Affairs.
Procedure
The incumbent ministers Emergy Maxfell (finance), Kravenn or Sir Mic (defence) and Thomas765 (Foreign Affairs) hereafter referred to as The Chancellor of the exchequer, Chief of Staff and Foreign Minister will;
a) Be confirmed in their positions by a majority of votes in the HoC for a maximum term of 3 months.
b) Be allocated (through the act of confirmation) a maximum weekly budget of £5,000 delivered by the exchequer for payroll purposes.
c) Be accepted into HoC sensitive.
Termination of position
The positions may only be vacated by
a) Resignation
b) Term expiration
c) A HoC majority vote
In all cases the vacating minister will designate their own replacement from within their own ministries payroll. If unable to do so then the HoC will accept applications from within the ministry and the new minister will once again be confirmed by a majority vote of the HoC.
Roles and responsibilities of the ministries]
Chancellor of the exchequer - Parliamentary Budget Act

The Alfagrem governance model
The key points to highlight are
1. Continuation and stability of governance via the fixed term and in-house promotion rules.
2. The allocation of a wage budget and the freedom to spend it so that each ministry can ‘grow’ it’s own people and produce for us the next ‘ruling class’.
3. No more positions of favour - You either do the job you are being paid for on a consistent basis or you are out of the loop.
4. De-Politicization of the government.
5. Decreases demand on the Presidents time by allocating fixed responsibility outwards.
Alfagrem for CP - Because his rivals have bad personal hygiene

Ah, Teh Oligarchy, tis a wonderful corruption.
I like these ideas. I also think Alfa is the best hope of a progressive eUK.
Addy, you managed to completely mess up the fate of 3 countries; the USA, Ireland and your own.
Look forward to reading them Alfa. Certainly an interesting manifesto so far...
oOo Alfa for CP!
Its a sad day when I have to agree with Appleby. But I do.
As for all this fantasy bureaucracy? Well, you like that, you eBrits.
I hope you get in.
Well the 'fantasy bureaucracy' is the stuff I haven't dealt with yet - The article deals with the in-game functioning albeit with the RP stuff I have to do to make it happen.
I'm surprised you are so enamored with the role play.
don't let your term as CP be completely bogged down in useless muck.
Everything offgame is fantasy bureaucracy.

Your Chancellor shall be German
