[TUP] jamesw for party president
Hell The Great
Ohhi. I'm jamesw, and I'm running for Party President this month. Basically, things seem pretty good right now. We have a TUP President, but more importantly we helped to elect a competent TUP President. However, electoral success, and a growth in our membership does not beset the issues that have not been resolved.
As a party we still have no message. We still have not made progress to push more new members into positions of power. We still have little, if any communication between the Party President and the members.
As such, I basically want to accomplish the following, should I be elected as our Party President this month.
- First and foremost, this month we simply must hold a party conference. Party policy is non existent, and in Congress we have no policy to support or vote for. When selecting a candidate for the Presidential elections, there were no policies we could put into a manifesto; the entire thing was solely down to the responsibility of the candidate. We are the biggest party in the eUK. It is our responsibility to have clear, concise and positive policies to improve the UK
- Secondly, and almost equally as important, we need to encourage more dialogues amongst our membership. Whilst our population continues to fall, there are still new players coming. If we involve them, there's much more chance they'll stay - if we continue to hope they'll catch the eRepublik bug, they'll continue to leave. It is the responsibility of any political party to at the very least, represent their members, how can anyone really claim to achieve this, if they are hardly ever consulted?
- Finally, we need a party president who is going to prepare for things in advance. And by in advance, I don't mind 2 days in advance with a shout in the party feed, or an article that is posted and then reshouted in the party feed. Messages. Messages. Messages. It is naïve to assume people will go out of their way to see what you are doing. You have to scream it from the rooftops, preferably in articles full of bold.
In short, I offer you three realistic proposals; (tl;dr)-
- 1. We will run Conference and ensure all members who want a voice, have a voice in setting party policy that our congress and hopefully our Presidential candidate, will work hard to enact.
- 2. We will, as a party, open up the flow of information from the very top to the very bottom of the party; whatever we are doing, all members will be told. Whenever they can or should help, they will be invited and encouraged to.
- 3. We need to stop skipping from one election to another without properly preparing. Electoral success comes with preparation, we cannot simply rely on being the biggest party to win elections.

I think you have enough to do being Vice President of the United Kingdom without being TUP President.
Concentrate on doing an excellent job as Vice President focus on one thing,the party is very safe in my hands in fact we are flourishing right now.
I've got plenty of time to cover both, don't worry about that.
eRepublik along with eUK is no longer that big that one can't be even CP and PP at once. I have been multiple times both PP and CP and even in congress(which gets revoked on being elected as CP of course) of ePoland and it was not that hard. I am completly sure jamesw will do fine 🙂
CP and PP x3
CP, PP and SG x1
CP, PP, PRO X1 😉
Vice president is bugger all a lot of the time, and so is PP. Handling both would not be hard.
Excellent - I think if I was able to translate my thoughts into the right words, this is what I would have written.
Voted and supported.
A WILD KARRDE APPEARED (HI RO😎
Alright mate! Nice to see another familiar face about. How's life?
Full of beans bud. RL is pretty slow as I'm working over summer before I start my masters so all over the interwebs! How's the petting zoo summer break?
Ha, yeah it's good thanks. Just been round the Highlands for our first anniversary, can't complain!
Talon Karrde, you are not dead. grats!
Hi Mate, hope you're well!
im not dead either. but im fairly certain you might have been for alil while 😁
You forgot the bold in your tl;dr.
Good luck, though I don't suppose you'll need it.
Godamnit I've missed articles with proper bolding technique.
Don't forget Congress member and Citizenship Committee member, make sure you don't spread your talents too thinly.
Personally I'm against AMD as PP of WRP when he's CP, but that's something for your party to consider.
