Stepping Down as Congressman

Day 691, 09:18 • Published in Norway Norway

• by Maximilia

Yes, that's right, after this term is finished, I am going to step down as a congresswoman. I would have liked to have been more active in the governing of Norway--although I never missed voting on an issue--but due to two reasons, I feel it's better to let someone else take my spot. The first is simply real life: I've been too busy to be as involved as I wanted to be. The second is the language barrier. I don't mind translating Norweigan to English, but it is time consuming, and when I've only a few minutes a day, I feel I lose something that other, Norweigan-speaking, members of congress would get in a moment.

I am not, nor will I ever, leave Norway. I love it here. And, when my schedule clears some, I may step up to run for congress again. But for right now, all I can do is just hold steady, instead of helping to move Norway forward. Thank you for all your support over the last six months.

I really hope to see you back and active sometime. The language barrier sucks, but it's better and more secure to keep Norway Norwegian. You've been a great congressman, and a great politician.

Very sorry to hear that, hope that you'll be back and active in politics again soon. I agree with KristofferAG, the language barrier really sucks, but I'm afraid it's a better alternative than going back to English as main language in eNorway (we've been there, and it didn't work out all too well).

Anyway, you've been a great politician and a great resource for TeK, hope you'll get back soon, best of luck 🙂

Hopefully I'll have enough time to reapply for a congress spot by December--we have some major repairs to do here which are taking up most of my time. I assure you I'm not leaving! I just feel that someone more active could do a better job than I can at the moment. The language barrier isn't really a barrier... it just takes so much longer for me to read articles and forums than someone who speaks Norweigan.

And thanks for the encouragement!

Sad to see you leave the congress. I and probably most others look forward to see you here again.

Maximilia, you have done well as a congresswoman. You were the first member of the government and even the whole game to ever reach out to me as the n00b that I was. I have enjoyed supporting you as it benefited our country. Once you get tings in your liv tilbake i orden I hope you will make a decision to rejoin the ranks of the public officials and even take it a step further one day.

Sincerely,
