So. It has come to this.
Where to start?
Well, firstly why I am running for Delegate? Because elections provide an important opportunity for views on the direction of the region to be aired, debated and ultimately decided. This doesn’t seem to have happened for sometime, as recent election cycles seem to have been empty of any substantive discussion.
And this is the part of the problem I am seeking to address. Our inactivity here in The North Pacific is not simply due to the failures of our constitution and our laws, though they sorely need reform. It is also because the region is sailing rudderless, without direction, without vision, without purpose.
Nonetheless, Constitutional reform must be a priority in the new term. But it must, and will, be done in accordance with the long held principles and ideals upon which the successive governments in TNP have been built. I am a firm believer in the centrality of democratic government, openness and fairness to a strong and successful TNP. We can make it work, but it will need all of us.
And so to the future. Reform is not enough. The North Pacific is a feeder. We have almost boundless opportunity and the natural resources to achieve far more than any userite region could. And yet, we do not make the most of it. Because we lack the direction to do so. I would like to see a policy direction that moves us into an active diplomatic and military presence beyond the boundaries of TNP. We should stand up for our ideals, unapologetically, unabashedly promote them.
I believe creating a strong military for TNP is essential and would build upon the work already started to strength the NPA into an effective fighting force. I would see us look beyond the faded glories of the defender/invader paradigm, I would have us create a TNP that is a force in its own right and on its own merits. We should deploy the NPA where it is in the interests of our region to do so, to protect our friends and allies and defeat those who oppose us.
Diplomatically, I will encourage closer relations with the other feeders. If elected, I will push for TNP to join the MPA as the main avenue for doing so. Others are already seeing success and if we can learn from them, work with them, we can only benefit. We should also be more rigorous in reviewing Embassys here and ours abroad, so that we are engaging with regions which we share some interests and build stronger diplomatic relations with them.
On the domestic front, I will seek to build a recruitment and welcoming team to encourage new players onto the forum and to be involved within the region. Once we have the ship righted and sailing on her new course, we will be in a strong position to recruit and retain new members in our community. This is essential for the strength and prosperity of the region and to keep the community here active and open. I have no comment on the Church of Flemingovia, except to say that the government of TNP, in the interests of representing all the people, should be secular but as a community we should welcome and include those of all faiths.
I will appoint minsters to work on defence and foreign affairs as soon as I am in office. My intention will be to also appoint a minster to run and organise the recruitment plan mentioned above and to appoint Grosseschnauzer as Minster of Cheese.
One final point, and this is a serious point, nothing – not reform, not rebuilding, not activity – can be done by one man alone. If we want to remake TNP into a shining city on the hill, we can do, the potential is here. But it will take all of us. All of us working together, constructively as best we can, to make it happen. I say this so that you understand, please if you share my vision for TNP and want to help make it happen, then vote for me.
But I only want you to vote for me if you are willing to do you part and get involved to make it happen. A vote for Haor Chall should be a vote for you to help in the building of a new and brighter TNP, if you are willing then join me in making it happen.
On that note, I open this up for questions.
OOC: Final little note from me, I off in the wet, cold and mud from tonight through Sunday, so will be without internet access for the duration. I will be back as normal on Monday.

HC, it's about time you took a turn in the big seat.
As I say, it's an innovative idea, and I like the ideal of it, but I think there are serious practical obstacles which will need to be overcome. It’s certainly work trying it out though.
