I must say I do not like attitude of our guest, it's obvious he came there just to hurt our public face, can you mr. Chamberlain please argue with him? I think I do not have enough arguments.

Gentlemen: I fear at times this party does not use all the weapons available to a modern political party. To this end, I think we should commission a poll on several issues, to gauge the voters' attitude on various issues. There is, I believe, already a polling organization in Eutopia, and perhaps we could work with them. I would recommend the following format and questions, some of which are "smoke-screens" for the more important questions:

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "Don't agree at all," and 10 being "Completely agree," please rate your reaction to the following statements:

1) I believe that the Eutopian military can be trusted to maintain and uphold the Eutopian democratic tradition.

2) I support the continued occupation of Farpoint by the American military.

3) I support the restoration of the Eutopian monarchy.

4) I believe that homosexuals should have the same rights as non-homosexuals to marry and adopt children.

5) I support Eutopian military support to the American war in Iraq.

6) I believe that topa root poses a threat to the youth of Eutopia.

These are just my initial thoughts. If anyone else has questions, we can expand the list.

[OOC: Obviously, we'd need to have a mod send up the results, but it could be useful in refining the party platform.]

I like it a lot, Doctor. However, I would recommend you change the wording of question 5. It's a little unwieldy at the moment.

Possibly:

5) I agree with Eutopian involvement in the Coalition War in Iraq

You're such a fountain of originality, Commander Tulp. I could never have guessed those results of yours.

And Per Marine. I must insist that you stand down in your argument with this man in our Public Relations Office. You are damaging the party image, and I will not stand for my party to be broken up by ineffective and jumbled argument.

Additionally, Commander Tulp, I must insist that you too wrap up this little debacle we've been having in the communication centre.

Talk about washing your dirty linen in public, looks like you've thrown your urine out the windows and defecated in the corner.

About the strikes, we have quite some unemployed EUtopians. Can't we use those to break the strike? Or atleast hurt it? We should be able to use atleast some of them for the jobs that are now vacant because of the strikers. If they refuse we can cut them on their benefits.

This party sickens me. I used to think it had potential. I used to think it truly supported the monarchy. I used to think it really worked for the people. But I was wrong.

It has grown fat, bloated, and arrogant, and just happens to be filled with people with whom it's about as pleasurable to converse with as brick walls.

I have offered my resignation to President Glasser as MHES, and I now announce I am leaving this party. Don't worry, I won't split your precious vote. Politics has lost its appeal to me - it's too full of incompetent and malicious men for anything good to be done.

Good luck, party. You're going to need it.

Mr. Chamberlain-Beaulieu, I think you are making a very hasty and poor decision. Not just your decision to leave the RPE, but your decision to resign as MHES. You have faced some opposition to your first action as Minister, and for that you resign. If your skin is truly so thin, then you have no place in politics. However, I think you are a very smart young man, who happens to have limitless potential, yet you are throwing it all away at the first sign of a political obsticle.

I urge you to reconsider. The RPE, like any party, has a mix of personalities, all of whom are critical to its operation. You have as much a voice here as anyone else, as much an opportunity to mold the party to your ideals.

Stick with it. Don't surrender after the first blow.

If you persist on this course, then I wish you well. Feel free to stop by the Tea Room any time.

It is not that my skin is thin, rather that my interest has dissapated.

Dr., I long for the quiet life. I am but a few months 24, and for such a young man I have done too much. But who knows what the future holds.

Good luck in what ever you are going to do sir.

Anyway, the President can break atleast part of the strike. Health, public transport and postal workers may join a union, but cannot strike (this includes administrative staff); the same goes for all personnel working in education. If a strike occurs in another sector of the economy (whether by public or "private" employees), the President may order employees back to work if "essential services" are being negatively affected.

The Prez can atleast order the employees of who are associated with the Military back to work as it's essential. The rest of the strike can be broken by my previous idea.

Chairman Vilms, with Mr. Chamberlain-Beaulieu's departure, I have some strong concerns about the future of the party.

Where are we going? How do we intend to capitalize on our gains in the last election? And how do we intend to get new members?

Also, this party appears at many times to be speaking with very different voices. We need some solid party positions on the issues of the day, such as homosexual marriage, the status of the WET, and the current strike.

Further, we need to replace Mr. Chamberlain-Beaulieu at MHES, preferably with an RPE member. I may have a suggestion on that front, but it is somewhat complex. I shall write you a memo (PM) if you are interested.

This party, and I address this to all members, needs some discipline. We cannot attack each other; we must present a united front. Civil argument is the order of the day, not petty squabbling. When we have an issue, we should discuss it, vote on it, adopt the majority position, and then support it.

I call on all party members to list their current policy concerns, so we can determine what the party's position should be on the matter.

I call on all party members to be civil and intelligent when they deal with questions from non-party members.

Finally, I ask all party members to contribute an idea for legislation. Let us, the RPE, be the driving force in the National Assembly.

In light of recent events, I feel I must speak.

I am very sorry to see you go Mr. Chamberlain-Beaulieu, and I wish you to remember that you are welcome here at anytime. But only when you retract your statements. You do not know where this party came from. When you were still in school I was at the bottom of a corrupt party so confused it could not even bother to show up and vote. I stood beside my guns and did what I felt was best, and that is what this party has come from. To trash my lifelong effort is an insult not only to me, but to the monarchists we represent.

However, this has set a catalyst to an event I have planned for some time. I feel that I have led this party as far as I can. It is time for younger blood to take over. I will still remain a member, and a MoNA, but I would like to call for a general party election to appoint the new Chairman.

Now, I will list my current policy concern.

1. Farpoint: Restabilizing, growth and development to full province status.
