As you have all seen Mattio has finally proposed his government. There are a number of things that I have noticed in his formation. One of which causes me some concern and so should it be for you too!
PHX
The first being that Mattio announced in his first article that Frerk would be his representative for PHX.
Mattio wrote:
3.1 Phoenix
The Country President is also the representative person of a country in Phoenix. I personally think it would not be wise to give that power to me as soon as I’m elected. After discussions with our current Phoenix representative Frerk, Frerk and I have agreed with the plan of giving me an emeritus state until I am able to represent our country in Phoenix. Until that time, Frerk will stay our representative person. This is something of which I think it will really benefit our country, because of the trust I have in Frerk and the great job he’s doing.

The idea that a President would give this main function of a president to another representative is not something new. However I do firmly believe that this person should be held accountable towards the people of the eUNL and as such be a part of the government. This is currently not the case. In effect we would have a CP that has given his power away to a non-government representative. Thus this means that there is no accountability towards the eUNL citizens.
A president should take such these responsibilities on himself from day one.
Also on a not entirely unrelated matter Frerk will be once again be running for the highest function in PHX, the function of Secretary General. I wish him luck in his pursuit of this. In this matter I do see a conflict arising. Seeing that the Secretary General is such a great responsibility, where will he find the time to advise Mattio with PHX?
Babyboom
Some other things that I have noticed is that a number of our ministries are very similar. One of these has been the ministry of recruitment. During the CP debates on question fell short due to difficulties with IRC. One question was with regards to the babyboom. I know that Mattio has campaigned on ensuring a babyboom for the eUNL. I for one am dedicated that this should take place as well, and I believe it will be through ArtemIvanov that we can finally have a much anticipated baby boom. As stated in my government proposal, I think that a baby boom has two parts to make it work.
#1 Getting the people in the eUNL
#2 Getting them active in the community!
I think that the second step is just as important as the first. We as a nation need to plan ahead and not just look at what need. We need to look at the causes and effects.
I also wish ArtemIvanov much success in his job the coming month.
Raws
Even though I do not like putting people on the spot, but I see that for the ministry of raws, Mattio has IlPadrino as its minister. This function has traditionally always been the function of upcoming starters in government. This time however I see that he has placed a minister there who has experience in managing companies and has already had experience in the ministries. Also I do not see a SS for this ministry. I have witnessed that this ministry can sometimes be swamped with orders. If you look at the successful reforms made in this ministry in the previous terms and the amount of effort needed to keep it running, I wonder if Mattio will be considering adding a SS anytime soon? For many companies this ministry has become a vital part of ensuring a growing economy and maintaining nice profits. I for one would like to see this ministry continue its good work. Also I wish IlPadrino a lot of luck if Mattio is elected!
Shadow Ministers - SM
This concept that Mattio has brought, is an interesting one (and maybe even kinky if your into that kind of thing). However I have always been led to believe that the purpose of the opposition was to not only critique the government but also to give direction and suggestions. I wonder how this SM post will work?
Conclusion
I have been called an economics man during this campaign and not a real political figure. I would however like to say that I am a manager. Why do I say this? Well because management is a combination of politics and economics. Part of management is not only looking at solutions, but looking at long term plans and focusing on long term goals. As a country president you need to be a good manger. As a country president you need to not only examine at making changes but you need to enable them. As a president you need to examine and have the answers for all possible scenarios that may arise. You can be supported by all parties, but it does not necessarily mean it’s the right choice!
So my dear voters, I ask you to make the experienced choice on may 5th and vote Auggustus.
Supported by the citizens of the eUNL and one party.
VOTE Auggustus!

Voted! 😛
why isnt the picture below saying 'i am watching u'
isnt that what he is saying?
I don't think there's a big difference between how you and Mattio plan to work in PHX. Mattio gets help on beforehand, you get advice on the side. Also, I never see Mattio mentioning somewhere he won't be resposible for PHX issues as the president. He merely states Frerk will remain 'representant', e.g the one who represents Mattio in this case. I don't see how that means he's giving aways responsibility. Besides, like you already said, Frerk is about to get elected as SG so I'd say it's a big pre those two can form a team within PHX.
I do admire the fact you're going to do this PHX-thing 'alone', don't get me wrong, but I just don't think the one solution is better or worse than the other one.
About the Minister for Raws; I am having the impression you're nitpicking a bit here. Sure, Hollenboer is slightly less experienced than IlPadrino, but surely these appointments are both solid choices. Raws has indeed always been a starting point for new ministers, but since CP government will be installed for the very first time, I don't think it's wrong to rely on some slightly more experienced guys the first time around. I agree with you a SS is needed there btw.
Well, it all looks pretty solid. I am sure tomorrow's elections will be very interesting and it's good to see this month's candidates are really trying their best to achieve their goals, both in their own way ofcourse. Good luck.
"Also I wish IlPadrino a lot of luck if Mattio is elected!"
If you are so concerned like you said, why did you not accept a position in mattio his government?
I believe that the choice our eCountry is going to make, is a very important one. Will we get a "company manager" or a libertarian socialist as next president? The difference is huge.
How is frerk holding two functions a big Pre. I would rather see that as a negative element because there will then be no distinctions between what we the eUNL wants and what Frerk wants.
An dI won;t do it alone. I will make the final decision because Im the elected official. If frerk wants to make that decision then frerk should be the one going for president and not Mattio.
Also with regards to the ministry of raw, Il padrino has no experience with raws. However he does have alot of experience managing the state companies. I would rather see ilpadrino continue his work in state companies than figure out out raws from scratch which would be the case. Its a simple question of management.Putting the right people in the right places. That is unless he requested the position.
@Shaker I did not accept a position in his government because of the fact that i am running for president and not second place. If not elected I will help form the opposition. I look at ways I can better serve. Also I am not a "company manager" I am a manager focused on Management of people.
And I am intrigued what your definition of libertarian socialist is. Because that would be nice to know for once what makes a libertarian or a socialist, let alone a libertarian socialist.
If you look at politics in general many of the politicians have once been a manager, be it of companies or even enterprises.
@Auggustus: The fact that Mattio did accept a government position in your government when you win, shows that he is a libertarian 😛
It's a bit dissapointed to notice that you aren't willing to help a possible government of Mattio from the inside, but you are already talking of forming of an "opposition". I wonder how you are going to do that, as some of your party members are in the next government, weather you are elected or Mattio is. I thought the whole "cp government" thing, was created by mostly your party members, to silence the opposition. I am delighted that it won't be the case! 😛
A)Libertarianism is a political theory that advocates the maximization of individual liberty in thought and action/ I other words it is own choice. Just like I can be a libertarian by saying i can be in the opposition . so you argument fails there. And no the CP government does not silence the opposition. And if you think that is the case then you must be naive. The main argument for a CP government is to allow more freedoms with forming governments. Sure I&W members are in the proposed Mattio government. That is their own choice. That does not leave us in a position nor any other party in a position not to critique the government.
to critique the government, is something different than being in opposition 😉
A good opposition gives critique. Meaning it analysis's the governments actions and provides alternative courses to action. But then again that concept is foreign to you shaker.
@Auggustus: i guess you were on eHoliday the last months 😉
"How is frerk holding two functions a big Pre. I would rather see that as a negative element because there will then be no distinctions between what we the eUNL wants and what Frerk wants."
No, you only assume there will be no distinction. Or you're just saying that to illustrate Mattio wouldn't be able to stand up for himself. Also, I haven't read anywhere Mattio would leave the final decision up to Frerk, that's again an assumption. He (and you) just need some help to get going in PHX.
It's ofcourse up to Mattio how he would make the best out of this possible cooperation. A test of strenght so to say. The same applies for you btw.
Your knowledge of what a representative is is quite disturbing. Ofcourse he will make the final decision.. He is the president; he can fire me at any given time.
Well, I don;t like this kind of articles at all.
It mostly look to me as a 'you have a bad program, vote for me article'
Second, I think its great if we can have a PHX representative for our country that is also a SG of PHX. We can't get better involved at our alliance then this.
voted.
