All these citizens have show great valour and patriotism. I'd also like acknowledge the fantastic effort made by a tremendous amount of the rest of citizenry, I wish I could list you all.
Our war with Canada
With a string of defeats in Newfoundland and Labrador, Wales, West Midlands, North West of England and Scotland. I don't need to tell you our war with Canada and their timezone advantage, organisation and combat orders to draw legions of hired mercenaries is not going well. However on the brightside we've all had plenty of opportunity to fight for those true patriot achievements and gain prestige points while fighting for the UK during this 'Epic Warfare' tournament. Those with an interest and desire to chase freedom fighter achievements and resistance hero achievements will soon also have a good chance to pick up a bundle of them fighting for the UK.
Our training war with Belgium
Our training war with Belguim has proceeded as planned so far, victories for the UK in South East of England, Brussels, Flanders and soon Wallonia. It has also given both Belgian and UK citizens opportunities to fight for true patriot achievements and gain prestige points. UK citizens have almost had continuous option to fight for the UK however I'm pleased to have seen many of us have still chosen to support allies in crucial battles during battles in Belgium.
Now possibly the harder part of the plan. As agreed we need to return Brussels, Flanders and soon Wallonia to our friends in Belgium by not fighting for the UK in Belgian Resistance wars. I'd also like to kindly request some of our division 3 and 4 fighters consider contributing to their mercenary achievement and freedom fighter achievements with some kills for Belgium to ensure the might of the UK can be overwhelmed by spirited Belgian forces.
CO Relief
As you may have read in the media about CO Relief. The fundraising programme designed to raise money for when it's most needed in the form of combat orders via [MoD] CO Relief: An Introduction and [MoD] CO Relief: Donate!. The fund is now up to 32,534.49cc \o/. A big thank you to the MoD for organising this and the support from MoF in collecting and depositing donations. And of course all those who have generously given to the scheme.
Keep an eye on the fund by looking in the Department for Munitions

Comments
Great update Huey! o7
The war might not be going so well but at least we all got the TW and CO Relief going great!
can we have an update on the exact amount of damage done by our MPP allies in the fight against Canada?
You can't calculate that.
Lol, when'd you get here?
great update, as always.
1. The commies ain't getting a penny back. Why should they get money and everyone one else that lost money get nothing? This was always a risk that everyone understood. Much like using a car park, you use it at your own risk.
2. As PP of the largest party I have not been contacted with any details of this 'committee', as such I and my party will not be taking part. We have our own control system in place.
3. When did Congress have the power to select ministries? CP and Congress are two different executive branches.
I love the UKPP, always making the political process as uncooperative as they can for little to no reason 😛.
Yeah, cuz what this game needs is a load of hand holding and singing of kumbaya...
Nothing will stop Congressman from allowing undesirables in if they choose to do so. You can sit on the beach and command the waves to stop crashing, but you'll still end up wet. Rather than electing retards and/or newer players in an effort to look like a caring party it's better to elect trusted, intelligent people to push buttons.
I wasn't being sarcastic btw, I love what the UKPP does.
I respect your and the UKPP's decision. As with all immigration related legislation, the implementation is always the tricky part and there is no effective way either Congress or the CP can enforce it and needs 'buy-in' from the top 5 PPs. As CP I was happy to ratify/'agree to the MoHA involvement' the bill as the MoHA and many in Congress (from all parties) put a lot of effort into it and the principles of the Act are reasonable. As WRP PP I'm in a similar position as yourself, the WRP have our own system in place however open to working with this Committee as it shouldn't do any harm.
I was personally a fan of the Speaker Act however the MoLA's Legislative Procedure Act is a sensible replacement. However in a sense the MoLA's Legislative Procedure Act has a dual nature. The Congressional decision to repeal the Speaker Act and my own support by appointing a MoLA to take over the tasks and responsibilities the Speaker had. This dual nature will make it a tricky one as CPs and Congresses come and go, therefore viewpoints and opinions will change frequently regarding this one.
Both are certainly a little blending of our two executive branches...
Problem with 'committees' is that they require effort and maintenance. Two things the eUK have never been very good at. Citizenship passes are only a danger when used as a weapon. This is down to the individual Mongressman. It should be a given that if you put the eUK in danger, your PP should not place you in a 'winning' seat for Mongress again. it doesn't need a committee, it just needs common sense.
If Mongress can't be bothered to open up a mass mail for them all to communicate then that is their problem, if the CP wishes to communicate with Mongress then s/he should open the mail or have a cabinet member do so. Its's not exactly something that requires a ministry and a fancy title. it's 5 minutes work for a concerned Mongressman of any level. All that is required is a friends list...
I actually agree with you wayne, I only put the fancy MoLA title in the proposal as its a position people are familiar with and would understand. Could just as easily be called Congress Secretary or whatever, can easily change it
We have hired mercenaries?
That... is awesome.
