Dear citizens of the eNetherlands,
Despite what the recent numbers may tell you, Libertas has a bright future ahea
😛For the first time in 2013, Libertas will be able to participate in the Congress Elections and let their voices be heard - And we certainly believe our unique and daring voices do need to be heard! We, however, do not only walk the path of criticism, we also feel like we - and every other political party in the eNetherlands - have the responsibility to publish a party program, for the population to judgde upon. WE proudly present the following goals Libertas will work on together with the newly elected Congress:
----
While the eRepublik mechanics make it seem like the only way of governing a country is by democracy, there is more needed than just the option of voting to be considered a healthy functioning democracy. Several traits of the eDutch state indeed contradict with this and we consider the current system to have corrupted a bit, with several goals being left unreached or even worked against.
Politics are not being executed in-game, but on an outside community forum (the eNetherlands.nl). Therefore most of the decisions are being made there, too. While this has functioned perfectly fine for years, recently it has absolutely not. The older, established parties DemNL and I&W are well seated there, as every party should be, what has caused their opponents to completely shun the forums. This is a very dangerous process, to which both sides are to blame. With this, most of the important information stays unseen by the general public. Another example is the fact we have 2 ''national IRC channels''. Libertas will nevertheless continue involving new players to our eCommunity channels at all cost.
No longer should a President or a Minister be able to ignore a motion (of no confidence) or act without any contact to Congress! No more suspicious plots to cling on to power! We will also demand full transparency regarding financial affairs of the government. Perhaps this money could have saved us some of the hunderds of citizens that died over the last months? Libertas wants a lot more attention to coaching, but especially recruitment.
Not to forget, the issue of personal conflicts. Our small nation has been divided in two extremely radical sides (as briefly explained in previous paragraph). While this is a natural process, which has happened many times before in the history of the eNetherlands, things have gone too far now. Instead of a political conflict, based on political differences, this is a mere personal conflict between several key figures that has gone political and therefore national. We think both camps endanger the continuation of our nation and would like to both sides working towards a solution. In the meantime, Libertas will look forward to form a 3rd, alternative pillar with other individuals and parties who are sick and tired of this political infighting.

Glad to see you want to connect with the VVN-politics of being the 3rd, neutral, pillar in the dutch political system
I also applaud to this change!
Let's see if these attitudes of our both parties will show results, then 🙂
with this tone of voice and focus it (almost) is a perfect match with the main focus of VVN. Nice to see. Might even get fun in congress if you hold on to that!
I hope an opportunity arises in which those attitudes can rally together as a potent gamechanger
Is this a joke?
"Libertas wants a lot more attention to coaching"
From comments of last article plus talking to some new people you approach people with join your party free food free weapons, not give them the right info and let them figer out over time where they belong. If you really wanted to do something about coaching why haven't you already done so instead of trying to get new people to join your party with out giving them any info but just bribing them?
"Libertas will look forward to form a 3rd, alternative pillar with other individuals and parties who are sick and tired of this political infighting."
Maybe if you stop causing division first with half your articles can you start talking about being sick of the infighting, right now that just sounds like a big joke.
1) I did a lot more for ''new citizens'' than most of the Dutch citizens can say.. I'm only not allowed to do so by our current President 🙂
2) So I need to stay silent and let the shameful mud throwing between two known sides continue, instead of more or less critizising both of them and calling for an alternative which will not necessarily force every citizen to join the ''worse evil''?
I genuinly hate the argument that people need to get along with the establishment, or that they otherwise cause trouble and division ..
Am I not allowing you in "doing a lot more for new citizens" NoTie? That's new to me.😁
1. Well i dunno what else you have done for new citzens what i do know is that you have been trying to bribe them to join.
2. I said those who are guilty of mud trowing can't be the once acting neutral so if you acknowledge your part in it than yes i guess you could see it as me telling you to stay silent on it atm, but i suspect you do not even acknowledge your part in it all. If you would have you could at least have understand what i said.
Stop acting all innocent of it, cause you are not. First try focusing on your own party and what they stand for for a time without attacking others and causing infighting and division with in the community and than perhaps you can trow your self up as a neutral side.
We're one of the few parties who publicize in the media with a party program which focusses mainly on OUR points, instead of attacking other their opinions (the ''other'' Congress article in the media right now).. Now you're just trying to put someone in a side, just like I warned for in the comment tabove yours.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/gpn-fixing-the-top5--2332627/1/20
a clear attack on GNP based on a suspicion
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-warning-to-the-enetherlands-2315366/1/20
A other attack
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-dictatorship-of-the-establishment-2304742/1/20
And a other one
And tierd of looking up more for you since you wrote them
So for someone not attacking other parties you do a whole lot of attacking one specific party.
If i would be trying to put others aside for my personal chocie than why only you? Why am i than not going after Odan or El Gorro? oooh right cause despite there issues with vS or GNP they dont attack them based suspicions, oh and yyes i did once attack el gorro for a articale he made which i found nothing more than a derict attack with no reason for it. And if i would find vS making articals like it i would call him out on it all the same.
I personally dont give a damn about politics i got sick of the politics cause of people like you but also Odan El Gorro and van Spijck, you people need to freaking learn to get along and if you cannot than ignore your personal feelings and work together if you both are in a gov position. How ever when you go publicly on the offense than dont act like your not, and there by not creating division with in the community. You keep trying to act all innocent while everyone can say a large part of your articals are derict attacks with out a real reason or even real proof for the claims you make for the reason to make the attack.
Yes, I will always be a political enemy of GPN if it continues it's current policies. Let's just be plain and clear on that .. Not so much GPN, more certain figures. I'm just as critical of I&W and DemNL if needed, and you read that if you read further back in my newspaper. I've never been shy of criticizing whoever I believe is wrong. Welcome to politics. I will NOT stay silent because of the so-so threat of causing trouble for the establishment.
If you already state that you stay a political enemy of GNP based on there policies, and really dont like some of there members than how the hell can you putt your self forward as a neutral party? Do you even understand the meaning of neutral?
And instead of having me read all articals rather point me towards the once where your critical of other parties, as i had the curiosity to do despite the fact you have written them.
Oh and being critical and making accusations based on a suspicion are 2 totally different things and to me show clearly despite what i just already pointed out you are far from neutral so stop trying to say you are and basically lei to the faces of all the people reading it.
People are ''neutral'' because they don't consider the available factions to be satisfying.. So of course I really don't like some policies or members.. That's the whole intention of neutrality, if you really want to go into that.
If you want to be neutral you need to stay objective and point out the correct errors others make, this is not something you have done in alot of articles you are clearly to biases to have a pure objective point of view to claim neutrality, plus since you are in the running you have own interests riding on it all the same. So considering all that you have written in recent past plus you are trying to run your self in all elections makes you unqualified to call your self the neutral side, cause if you are qualifeid to be neutral than should would be El Gorro or van Spijck.
You want what is best for eNL than try and call those 2 up to start working together, if those 2 would work together we could actually get some where, instead you attack vS and GNP to try and enlarge your chances in the elections and than turn around and call it neutrality that is just a bad joke at best.
@NoTie112: Well, I'm neutral because I'm neutral. There is that. I don't consider factions to be unsatisfying or satisfying. Wierd case. I don't like some indivuduals, it does not however I'm for or against in general parties they are in. This is what it means to be neutral. Not acting based on dislike or like for induviduals or parties. I stop being neutral if I go and act based on my dislikes/likes.
Clearly you aren't neutral side to political conflicts going on. You don't provide option to people that are neutral. Let me make this simple, even if you are right in the middle of factions fighting eachother but still participate in a fight by shooting at one side or another (well clearly one side more than another in your case) than you aren't neutral. I - however - standing to the side observing what's going on and so now and than shouting "could you stop making yourself look bad and PLEASE - focus on making eNL better?" am neutral. Hope I helped you grasp the concept.
Seems someone let GPN's lapdogs out to attack Nottie
Great job mister ambassador, good way to stay political neutral. And like most GNP "haters" really bad at fact checking, Nayu and i are politically neutrally, as use well calling a "hater" out on there shit makes us what ever that person is hating on right. This is one of the reasons i was opposed to you as Ambassador cause of your issues with the eNL biggest political party and CP, but you promised to stay neutral so i didnt push any futher on topics affter it, and decided to ahwell who knows i guess he can seems that was a mistake cause you cant.
