My Friends,
As I’m sure you’re aware by now, the CP elections are upon us, with Rawdon and Greatmoff competing for the top prize; the privilege of running our nation and ensuring its safety and prosperity.
Recently various accusations have come to light in which Rawdon and his party, ESO have been accused of making backroom deals with other parties for CP support, including giving away ministry positions in exchange for votes. You can read more about this by clicking this link
Various people in my own party have proceeded to lambast Rawdon for this; but I would like to interject here!
I’ve taken the time to find the facts; I’ve spoken to Rawdon and Lily Summers, the PP of ESO, both of whom have assured me that the accusations are in fact untrue; indeed, Rawdon explains his position here. It appears as if PCP are trying to play off both ends against the middle in an attempt to gain a political victory. Totally understandable in their position, but unfortunately it’s dragged Rawdon into a bit of a mire, completely undeservedly.
He’s publicly stated that there isn’t any deal and that all cabinet ministers will be appointed on merit- this is fantastic and in fact follows the policy that Greatmoff already outlined for you in his manifesto here
This is without a doubt a hotly contested CP election, with many twists and turns yet to come. Please, though, don’t base your vote on any of these accusations, these petty actions with no basis in fact. Instead, base it on your ideals; on who you think will do the better job for the country. Please, read both Greatmoff’s and Rawdon’s manifestos and base your decision on them- talk to them! My door as vCP is always open and I’m happy to respond to all queries as quickly as I can, and Greatmoff assures me the same is true of him. A candidate out of touch with the people he wants to support him should never even get near office- I’m sure Rawdon would say the same.
Some people have lowered the tone of this election- I am here to raise it once again. Division and mindless rhetoric can only damage the country; unity will ensure our prosperity.
Thanks for reading; Strength in Unity!

Whilst i was outraged myself at first Talon as always provides the perfect balance to me and I hope has defused this situation. I hope we can all calm down and get back to an election where people vote on their own beliefs about the strengths of the policies and the merits of the candidates.
I whole heartedly endorse what Talon has said, couldn't put it better myself.
I hope this works. I already lost some motivation with the bombs and rockets, I do not want to loose more motivation.
Good luck with the elections.
GM: I do hope you learn from this experience. If you do win the election, the role of CP is not to jump first, and find out facts later.
Regardless, I'm glad the matter is at rest, and hope for a good election ahead. I'm sure whoever wins will do a much better job than this months crop would / have done.
Thank you Talon.
Greatmoff reads like a hostage statement above. Tbf he didn't publish anything, and it does seem a bit weird that the PCP would play off the TUP and ESO via a private message to one of their members.
Nice article (bar the sign-off)
JW: This just demonstrates Talon's strengths. I have said from the beginning that I am running as part of a Greatmoff - Talon Karrde ticket, not a Greatmoff ticket.
Talon's cool mind and smooth words helped get the eUk back on the map with a congress, he is an asset to any sort of talks where a calm head is needed.
Again with the hostage talk
'Talon's cool mind and smooth words'
Erotic
Yes, I dont think anyone would say Talon is a negative influence. However, what are you going to do when he is offline / dc'ing? Its fine that you have an opinion, but such a black/white guilty/innocent outlook on life without exploring both sides is going to be hugely problematic for you: especially in ONE meetings, in dealings with UKPP and even with cabinet too. I just hope you aren't relying on Talon to 'smooth over the edges' all month.
Well said Talon.
I think both Greatmoff & Rawdon would be good for the job. Dunno why they both don't just work together what ever the outcome of votes for a better eUK 🙂
I really don't know who to vote for as after reading both manifestos I cant fault either of there goals and ambitions for eUK, they both have same set mind.
They both get my vote, so with that to even things out I'm not going to vote this time round 😛
This has livened things up a bit, before there was nothing to disagree on - which was what I said on the shout where this began : ) I think the message from the PCP is still incriminating, your rebuttal of the anti-TUP coalition suggestion requires the message to be a lie. We need to hear from the PCP.
I am probably far better at dealing with the UKPP than most jamesw. I find it ironic that I am accused of having a black/white view when I don't dismiss the entire UKPP as many others do. I welcome anyone from any party to get involved with government. I have had members of the UKPP apply for deputy positions and I am happy to take them on and educate them as I would be any young player from any party looking to take an active role in government.
Furthermore, I have 3 months of experience of ONE meetings. The eUk's position within ONE is stronger now more than ever as the fact that Hungary was willing to relocate to France to aid the eUk is testament to.
Hungary are going to be gone soon : /

jamesw needs his special relaxation pill... he's been a busy boy today and I think we all agree he should take his anger out on his pillow, not eUK. : )
Fantastic article, but because I'm on my iPod voting the article will cause a weird thing to happen with the number of votes and then Safari will crash, so just +1 to the vote count for me : )
We actually voted to support ESO several days ago.........the reason Rawdon has been put in a mire is because Great Moff has taken a message out of context and is trolling.
Now Tallon has done the decent thing with this article. Perhaps he would be a better candidate for the TUP
Don't think you can try and save face here Aces Man. I didn't take your message out of context, these were your EXACT words: http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4012/290f0125636c4256bd38307.png
"Unfortunately after much discussion last month we did make a deal with the ESO that we would support them this month".
this is just what our country needs a fierce CP election. well said talon and good luck to both GM and Rawdon
I don't need to 'save face' I've done nothing wrong. You've taken it completely out of context suggesting there's some kind of dodgy deal going on.
The coalition means you may not be in change of a dictatorship under one party rule...no need to troll about it.
Thanks for being reasonable, mature, and promoting a stance of unity Talon. I respect that a lot. Thank you for this post.
