As with every CP manifesto ever published in the history of this buggy browser game we all play for some inexplicable reason, you already know the subject of it. Yep, I am running once again to be the eUK’s CP. Now I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the debacle at the end of my last term, you can find more detail in Pannonian’s interview of me, but let me reiterate my apology that I made there, here. I messed up, I recognise that and have been working to make amends since.
So, what would I do if you elect me? I’m going to start with the domestics side of my manifesto in this article, and then do a second one where I cover Forig Affairs/Defence and a final one with muh proposed cabinet + budgets
Domestics
For too long, Home Affairs has been an afterthought of government. Over a period of eighteen months or more, the MoHA has slowly deteriorated into the ministry with no real direction, no real funding and no real point. I intend to change that, and flip the ministry on its head- it may well retain its current name (or it may not), but the ministry itself will be different in its purpose, its structure and its level of funding.
Let me explain. Under an Addaway government, the MoHA’s role will be broadened, to encompass all forms of government support for eUK players, with the stated aim being to maximise the amount of damage the eUK does, and support its fighters. Primarily this is a war game, and we should be geared towards focusing on that at all levels. ‘Player Support’ will initially manifest itself in three strands: TG loans and grants (done in conjunction with the MoF), direct Q7 weapon and food support and a comprehensive mentoring and education system of the type successful MoHA’s have run in the past.
This won’t be yet another series of programs solely targeted at ‘new players’, it’s about helping out loyal eUKers who haven’t quite made it to full TGs, or those eUKers that will blow through food and weapons fighting for the eUK. In short, it’s the government investing in supporting our citizens so that the eUK performs better.
In terms of staff, I have already headhunted Frixios as the guy to lead overall co-ordination of the new MoHA, but I still need three ministers to head up each of the three sub-ministry strands that I outlined above. These aren’t deputy minister positions, but come with their own freedom to accomplish the goals outlined in their brief, and the power to hire and fire their own deputies. I won’t be micro-managing every ministry down to the lowest level.
Apprenticeships
I’ll also be looking to set up the kind of comprehensive apprenticeships program of the kind that was first outlined by me many moons ago and didn’t quite come to fruition. A further detailed announcement on this will be made should I win the election, but it will essentially be aimed at providing proper opportunities for new people to come into government ministries without necessarily having all the pressure of a full ministerial position, and to provide a clear system of progression through a government ministry. The intention is to try and bring through some new blood to the very top.
That’s all for domestic shizzle, if you want to apply for my government in some form then drop me a PM at some point and we’ll see what we can do. o/

I am disappointed. It should be called the Adifesto.
patience my child
Very interesting points raised in this article. I feel that most of what this manifesto covered addresses the key issues facing the eUK in these turbulent times. However, there was one key piece of information that you missed out regarding financial matters:
how much is the bribe then
Starting a manifesto with an apology for what happened last time. That's something new.
Not really, seen it plenty of times.
Improving domestically has to be top priority in that if we can't build from the base through our young players and attract new players we will continue our current decline. Because, although we are not involved in war directly at present, i've noticed a steady decline in our damage ranking. 2 year ago we were often hovering around rank no.13, this has declined through the 20's and we are now into the 30's - in short the eUK is struggling to be even a 2nd rank country and this will only get worse if the situation is not addressed directly, i.e. TG loans etc.
So our damage is falling? Maybe it's because of the emphasis on new players leading to anyone that's built a little strength realising how much better the rest of the eworld is and leaving
Good luck on elections Addaway,Pretty good manifesto.Surprised by your apology in the begining of this manifesto is something new and neither of CP ever apologize like this.
Perhaps that's because most CPs don't f*ck up 😛
nah, some CPs just prefer to bluster and bluff their way through when they f*ck up
Every candidates manifesto always contains some ideas for MoHA but they never happen. What would you do to make sure your ideas happen?
Issue all cheetah's with gazelle.
I'll actually try
For most candidates this year the MoHA has (quite rightly at times due to our wars) taking a backseat and the focus simply hasn't been on the ministry. It will be if I win
Ahem
Yeah, the MoHA people during Scarfar's term were actually pretty good!
Cheetah-Frix Dream Team!
I don't remember you being cp. there was that iadastros guy
Yeah, that guy was almost as bad as that AMD guy.
Waynekerr where has he gone?
hell

Should be blacklisted after the last time.
If I was more active I'd love to have a crack at doing something with the MoHA.
In my eyes, the MoHA has generally been a ministry with a pretty 'broad' role- it's often been very fluid in how it works, although some CPs have tried to split it up and make more defined roles for it. You can judge the success of this kind of thing for yourselves, it's very hard to measure this kind of thing because the variables are wildly out of the control of the CP.
Anyway, imo the ideal MoHA would still be rather relaxed and banterous, but also reasonably active, informative, and helpful to the public.
I really like your education idea, it's a concept I've been playing with in my mind practically all year. So far this idea has manifested itself in the form of the Community PMs, although the educational aspect clearly has only been partially captured in the PMs.
eBrit Uni is an obvious model for this, but copying it as a government scheme seems a bit weird.
Best candidate, amiright?
