Okay its clear PK has one the election. I congratulate him as eIsraels next President and he has my full respect and faith. I hope he leads eIsrael in the right direction. I will talk more about this towards the end of this long article in the mean time continue to read.

I think all things considered I did quite well.
PK had the backing of not only Shalom but the IFM and Consolidation and Sababa. The latter 2 unofficially but he did whether you want to believe it or not. He will be announcing his cabinet hopefully soon and he struck a deal to hand over A large portion of his future Cabinet to Sababa. This all came after he told me he was interested in Forming a Coalition to Combat Sababa and was worried about some of their radical views (Disbanding the eIDF and so on) This is all another story but shows just a little bit of eIsraeli politics behind the scenes and all the back stabbing trickery and double crossing.
All together he had about 260 people behind him in all the parties. I had less then 90 with just the sole support of UZP.
That coupled with the huge opposition me and e70md faced over our new ideas and campaign we have been calle
😛
Communists
Socialist
Radicals
Inexperienced
Not Fit to lead the country
Unaware of whats going on in eIsrael
Power hungry
Opportunistic

Just too name a few.
Im not going to bother addressing any of those individually it just wouldnt be worth it. We wrote whole articles dedicated to addressing the the "Fears" people had in our other articles and it didnt do much because we where still shut down at every turn.
Actually our campaign was shut down just as it started... Maybe because their was no other campaign to shut down besides ours.
We worked very hard published articles and getting translations and working with a whole team of people to get things done.
I would like to personally thank everyone who helped me in this campaign and voted for me I owe you a lot and cannot express my gratitude.

I have learned a lot from this election and it was a good time overall.
Now on to UZP News.
The United Zionist Party has lacked leadership organization and activity for quite some time. We have been considered a Joke party and a dying party due to our poor performance at Knesset elections and our inability to reach our full potential.
I would just like to say to all UZP detractors out their this is about to change.
Me and e70md have been working day and night on top of the campaign to get the UZP upa nd running again.
We have started a massive Recruitment Drive
Created New External Forums
Process of creating a Charter/Manifesto
Re branding our party as Bilingual Friendly
Establishing a new Generation of UZP Leadership to lead this party into the future (Party Positions)
UZP rebirth has begun and you all better watch out
🙂
Of course every time we put hard work into something we usually find people who have to make problems. EX UZP party members no less.
Oh well we will continue to get this party back into shape despite that.

Now onto other news.
eIsrael is being invaded by the Turks....Again.
They say its not related to RL but bring up RL at every opportunity they can get.
When its not RL its the fact we refused their peace ultimatum (The one where they threatened us with Invasion and PTO)
This is when all eIsraelis must unite to fight the common enemy. We have to save our nation from destruction.
![](http://www.orsam.org.tr/en/enUploads/Article/Images/2010315_israel_flag.jpg)
Now PK a few things I would like to tell you.
I hope this term more effort will be put to Economic and domestic affairs once of course this Turkish Threat has been pushed back and our treasury replenished.
Before this war our economy was in the crapper.
![](http://bradley.chattablogs.com/recession.jpg)
We had and still have a rubbish tax system which holds Israel back. We had no competition and few High Quality Companies. Less then half our population was employed. Low wages High Prices High Inflation generally High Cost of living.
Thats why PRIOR to the war we had a net loss via Migration with something along the lines of 30 eIsraelis leaving and only getting 7 new immigrants.
![](http://scienceblogs.com/sciencetolife/brain%20drain.png)
Our population was decreasing rapidly before the war. We went from close to 2000 people to like 1300. You do the math.
![](http://hornbillunleashed.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/brain-drain2.jpg)
Its great we have a population boom now but it has to be a top priority of the government to Integrate and accommodate these news players so they can become active members of eIsrael. It will be of no use to us if they all die off or leave the game within a weak.
Make sure they have jobs, are learning to play the game, and getting active.
You can start with a better new player message that includes a LINK TO OUR FORUMS and the IRC channel. Those will be vital in helping new people.
We cant survive as a nation if our population doesnt grow.
![](http://www.forbabywithlove.ca/images/fb_babies_web.jpg)
There are countries with half our population and a far higher GDP then ours. Israel is clearly not living up to our full potential.
Also I hope you have a more vocal government this time around. We rarely heard from you or the government and its not very comforting. People like to know things are getting done and you are on top of everything. Weekly announcements stuff like that all makes the difference.

With that I wish you the best of luck in your next term and please stick it to those Turks.
Now there is somebody I owe an Apology too.

Im sorry for being so hard on you I didnt mean to generate the mass hate that you received. I am sorry.
With that said I still dont agree with your views on RL Israel and a few things in game but I always thought you where a good president and you have my respect.
Again I Apologize.
Thank you everyone for voting for me and supporting me. I will continue to work hard for eIsrael and make it stronger.
Am Yisrael Chai.

You guys ran one of the best campaigns I've ever seen in eIsrael. I was thoroughly impressed by the scope and the message of your ads, articles, and comments. A good job altogether. You should try it again someday.
Thanks Zohan that means a lot.
good job man, plain and simple
weirdest elections ever
The Consolidation vote was split. We did not endorse any of the candidates, because we knew it wouldn't have the full backing of the party. We let the Party Members decide.
pro article.
it was a good campaign gavin.
i wish u luck in next time
I suppose some don't like new idea's, even if it is scary. I was willing to cast my vote for an idea, we all could have tested the theory out here. to Perfect Knight, i wish you well in your presidential work. I will be watching you >😃
Congratulations on your campaign and thanks for the apology.
I have not been involved or aware of any behind the scenes deals regarding the cabinet, but I sincerely hope that you get a chance to implement some of your ideas in the next govrenment.
Whilst there is certainly significant room for improvement, I dispute your allegation that before the war our economy 'was in the crapper'. I also would like to suggest that there is another story that has also contributed to the population decrease - namely the recent Admin crusade against multis.
Post war, Israel will have a great challenge to rebuild - hope there's a place for eveyone in that important project.

1. I personally don't like stupid ideas, old or new. Let me repeat loudly and proudly government run economy is sucks! eCapitalism forever!
2. We had few hundreds multies in eIsrael, foreign managed and local, for PTO and for money grabbing (I personally reported more than hundred). Some of them were banned, some are dying, and it is explaining drop of population and high unemployment.
3. In Shalom party we had two fractions, let’s call them: Sababa oriented & UZP oriented. I know that PK tried to talk with UZP and I am happy, that he finally made right choice to work with Sababa, not with young generation of loonies from UZP.
Hey,
1) No matter what political job you choose, you will face opposition all the time even if you are 100% right, I can tell that from experience, not to mention when people honestly don't agree with you.
2) Be more open minded, if you didn't think properly on something and face opposition don't get offended! Try to understand the other ways and think about the consequences.
3)Don't give up, I'm not sure if you know Shimon Peres(Israeli politician) but if you want to be something keep trying and learning until your time comes, for example take our current president(in game).
Good luck!
OMFG Sadeh speaking like Kafka!!!
Elianna Zamir placed Eleazaar in "LIST THE TOP TEN COOLEST PEOPLE"😢C)
FK love people more than Jesus Christ (RL Israeli politician, was born 33 BC)
PK running between articles and commenting “Great article, voted” “Pro article”
Love is everywhere!? WFT! What’s wrong with you ppl? 🙂
Sadeh IS my multi 😛
We all are multis of Sadeh cuz he is eIsrael and eIsrael is Sadeh🙂
Gavin, let`s be honest, your vision was too radical for most of electorate and PK did outstanding job last term.
Now is up to you to show some skill in opposition and I mean the creative and cooperating opposition, not poo-throwing and criticizing all around.
After current round of turkey serving, we`ll have lots of work, for everyone and anytime.
Brilliant campaign, after all🙂
Gratz PK,
Good luck! Do what you can for better eIsrael!
i like PK but he posted 1 short article that said he was running and hed post his platform
he never posted a platform
maybe this means he doesnt have enough time to be pres
im just statin the truth

@yibgib... I agree it would have been nice to see more from PK. Although to be fari, Turkey did attack shortly after him making that post, so I'd forgive him if he felt he had to dedicate 100% of his time to defending the nation.
i guess your right
and why does my thing always post twice

@Bennychka
Right now we are in a capitalistic economy and look were we are. I am level 11, my skill is 3.1 in manufacturing if I'm not mistaken. The only job in fabrication of weapons pays 2 shekel daily if I'm not mistaken and they kicked me so I am unemployed. Something must be done as a Zionist, I don't want to leave beautiful eIsrael for unemployment issues... Right now we only have Bersheba District. So is this government working so far? Definitely not, we need a massive change.
its a great article, and you are a great man.
@Daniel Ender
Currently we are in state of emergency aka. deep sh*t. Most of our companies (90😵 in occupied Jerusalem & Nazareth, but population is in Beeer-Sheva. So companies can’t hire and we have REAL unemployment. But in normal conditions eCapitalism working much better than eCommunism.
