The Unity Party - Not Entirely Lazy
•
by The Unity Party
I have noticed a few comments lately, about The Unity Party not releasing any new policies, or having done anything of any importance lately. The general opinion seems to be, that we are a bunch of lazy cretins. Though this could be considered true for a few party members, most have been heavily involved in Self Improvement. We consider it to be important to have a strong foundation, before we start any heavy work. Reorganisation has been a major theme within the party Clubhouse, and will hopefully help produce a more united TUP.
Whip with a Twist
For us, one of our major concerns, is that the citizens of eUK are properly represented in the House of Commons. With a TUP majority at the moment, it is important that we listen and provide for our constituents.
1. All TUP Congress candidates MUST provide a manifesto. We are not looking for sheep votes. We want people to vote for us because we are the best possible applicant for that position. We want to serve you, and to do that, we must have all our Congressmen, active and on the forums. Any candidate that runs with no manifesto, who can not be removed, shall be publicly denounced prior to the elections.
2. All TUP Congressmen must STAY active. It is all very well winning a place in Commons, and receiving 5Gold, but once there, we want our Congressmen to do something for their community. That means being involved in discussions, voting on every policy, and involving themselves in their community. Every week, The Unity Post will be publishing TUP Congressmen activity statistics. Good congressmen will be rewarded, not so good might find themselves being publicly humiliated.
TUP Council
One of the first things our Party President did upon re-election, was restart The Unity Party Council (renamed The Council of Unity). All Congressmen must be involved in the Council, and the door is open for any Party member who wishes to put forward ideas. The Council will make up the meat of The Unity Party politics, being the force that gets thing done and moves us forward. It will be very much a team effort, and shall hopefully provide some interesting policies in the near future.
Helping Beginners
For a while now, The Unity Party has been very much about helping the young citizens in eUK. We try to put forward a friendly face, and answer any questions that are asked with an unbiased manner. By actively avoiding flame wars and hostile debates, TUP manages to maintain an air approachability, which is often attractive to new players. We hope to continue this in the future.
However it is time to take the next step. With a new Administrative Executive, the work will soon begin on regular wiki updates, and beginner guides. We offer all our support to the MoE's help line project that MoE (StanWephen PCP) and MoI (Malta_1990 TUP) have been discussing for some time.
So keep your eyes open. There is plenty to come in the near future.

If I wasn't MDU i'd be TUP.
Long live TUP, you guys are great, a party I truly appreciate working alongside.
Tommy.
What? Who's saying we're lazy?
But another great article, Hazz, saving face for the TUP again! Though we forgot to put TUP before the titles of each of the initiatives 😉
Yeah same, it's good to be working along side you!
"What? Who's saying we're lazy?"
Thats what I was wondering!
hough funnily enough I don't see how any of this is a big deal. All parties do something like this as far as I'm aware.
"By actively avoiding flame wars and hostile debates"
These are aspects of the whole community. Individual paries cannot be blamed, or claim credit, on this issue. No-one is angels in terms of flaming and hostility. Remember the coaltion fiasco?
Plus like I said in the other thread. Elecions and flaming are strongly linked, and TUP haven't been in an election for some time.
And, if I'm not mistaken, each of the 'big four' has publicly condemned so-called negative campaigning.
Plus if you join TUP you get a cut in our RL business TUP(perware)!

The TUP and Tupperware the RL company are in no way related and people who vote for, or join TUP will not get shares or any monies from Tupperware Ltd. All solicitors should note I live in the Antarctic in an igloo and have nothing worth being sued for.
TUP is fabulous! We love you too MDU!
Bob, I have not negatively campaigned anyone. TUP ACTIVELY stay out of flame wars. It's one of our thangs.
I forget who said it, but someone said we hadn't done anything lately. I thought I should explain that; yes we had, we had just done it behind closed doors. TUP has gone under an overhaul lately, and unless you are on our forum, you wouldn't know anything about it.
This is just an update, not a campaign or anything.

I'm lazy. And I'm TUP.
But never at the same time. I save my laziness for school and other unimportant issues 😛
It's true though. I didn't come on yesterday as I had exams. When I got back on the TUP board, there were 8 NEW threads, as well as another 6 threads with new comments.
That's the most active I've ever seen in. What's more, the new ideas good really promising. I'm very proud of what they've been up to in the singe day I've been gone.
Thanks Hazzn for the update; I think its important that the people know that just cos we haven't put in for CP recently, doesn't mean we are inactive. We want to give the country our best, and we feel this time preparing behind the scenes in many respects, can only be good for the country in the long run. And I am really passionate about our helping new citizens; indeed, I think its one of the most 'attractive' features of TUP.
