Partido Tecnócrata Chileno (Eng. Chilean Technocratic Party) was a short-duration (a week length) party in Chile, created by -Chuck_Norris-, some days after the party elections of September 2009. It had between 40-50 members for the duration of its existence.
Ideology
Chuck's Article
The ideology of this party can be extracted from the article that -Chuck_Norris- wrote as an explanation of his political project:[1]
“ La política en erepublik es muy distinta a la de la vida real. Si bien uno puede elegir un partido de izquierda extrema, o derecha extrema; esos términos en el juego son inaplicables, puesto que no existen pobre ni ricos, solo jugadores nuevos y jugadores antiguos. Todos en este juego nacen con las mismas oportunidades, y son recompensados de misma manera por el juego (por ejemplo al llegar a nivel 6 y recibir 5 golds), y depende de cada uno la manera y que tan eficaz es para surgir en este nuevo mundo. | |
Similarities
There has been some comments that identify the ideas of the PTC with the ones from the Argentinian party Progreso Argentino.[2]
History
Controversy
In the party elections of 15 September, 2009, a controversy generated when -Chuck_Norris- take-overed the party Trabajadores de Chile Unidos: he just joined the day before the elections to candidate himself and was successful in his effort of winning.[3] The reasons of this controversy where:
- principally, from the different views about this take-over, in which the other side stated that Molina_K originally take-overed Chile Unido, founded by -Chuck_Norris- in January, in the August's elections, and that this was some sort of payback;
- also, from the known fact that -Chuck_Norris- asked for some help in the Chilean chat to get the necessary votes to manage to get the party presidency[4];
- less important, due to Molina's reaction to this situation, firing all the employers from the companies owned by La CUT; [5];
- and, lastly, for the successive "jokes" that -Chuck_Norris- did with the party name.[6]
Names
As -Chuck_Norris- promised[7], he just kept changing daily the party name until "he could think of something serious to do with the party". The chosen names were:
- On the first day (16), Partido Pinochetista (Pinochetist Party), orientated as Far-Right and Totalitarian, which increased the controversy;[8]
- Later, it was changed to Políticos Corruptos de Chile (Corrupt Politicians of Chile).[9]
On 18th September 2009, -Chuck_Norris- get an idea to do a serious party, Partido Tecnócrata Chileno (Chilean Tecnocratic Party).
Life and End
The existence of this party suddenly ended when, on the night of the 25 of September in the Chilean chat, surged an idea for a new party based upon some principles from kantian rationalism, Partido Racional (Rational Party).[10]
