The Tequila Fitness Club (or TFC) is a political party of Japan. It was once known as the most fully represented party, having all its members being either a member of congress or country president. It is currently represented by 7 congress members.
After dropping out of the top 5 largest parties just before the August Congressional Elections, several active members fell inactive or moved onto other parties. In the September Party President Elections, no1kevlin vied for and won the seat of Party President. With a mere 9 members left, no1kevlin and Origineel.NL then breathed life back into the party, allowing it to once more be amongst the top 5 largest parties within Japan.
The Tequila Fitness Club
The TFC is a political party that wants to be and has been a stable factor in Japan's political arena. The TFC has and is still trying to achieve that by getting as many active and loyal citizens of Japan to join its ranks. All that is asked of TFC members is to be active, reliable and loyal to Japan.
The party name and history
In the past, people have said the name of the party is unconventional and its understandable why they would say that. The words in the name don't have a real meaning. The name is however part of the history of the party.
When Grief took the inactive party over he wasn't planning on actually managing a new political party. But then, King Waseem joined and not long after that, so did Origineel.NL. The three started talking and then decided to create the TFC. All three came from different parties and had different views on things, but they knew that they would able to work together as they had done so before while in separate parties.
Thus is the reason why the party stands for stability and unity and also the reason to keep the name that brought the first three members: Grief, King Waseem and Origineel.NL together; active members of the community with different views, but who were able to work together. The abstract nature of the name also serves a purpose in that it represents a totally new beginning, not being bound my any precedent, and it is no surprise that many people have joined the TFC for a fresh start.
Just a month after the creation of the Tequila Fitness party and still being the smallest (but highly active) party in Japan, the TFC managed to get their candidate Origineel.NL elected as President of Japan.
Shortly before the August 2009 Congressional Elections, the party lost it's standing as one of the 5 largest parties, despite having had 10 members elected to congress in the last election. Due this sudden change, party members scrambled to one of the five largest parties in order to be an eligible candidate for congress. Nevertheless, a half dozen former members appeared in the elections. The party ended up with one affiliated member, former party president Lauri Mursu, elected to Congress. Unfortunately, this also led to a gradual exodus of elected members to other parties, most notably to the United Lolies of Japan, before being resurrected following the election of the next (and current) party president, no1kevlin.
Party Manifesto
The Tequila Fitness Club
The name doesn't link to any traditional images of a Political party, does it? There is no Real-Life equivalent like the Democratic or Republican party. It seems random - and some may say - out of place. The question is - is that really a bad thing?
No.
It is, in fact, a good thing. A very good thing.
Leave your previous beliefs of Real-life political parties at the door. It is takes a little time to get it, but it is important. eRepublik is NOT real life, and in accepting that, we are more ready and able to deal with what is actually important in this game.
So What exactly is special about the TFC?
Since it's creation, the TFC has been a party of individuals. A party of independent thinkers. We are all different, and that is what makes everyone special. We recognize this and choose to encourage it, rather than surpress it. As a party, we encourage everyone to voice their own opinions, and then we discuss them together. We are a group of Independent thinkers, united as a party.
What does the TFC stand for?
Stability
A semi-free market with minimal government intervention
A strong and well funded Military
We think it is important for our party to be a stable factor in Japanese politics. We want to be a party that stays, not one that changes name and identity every few months.
We want create a group who can competently lead this country, and in who the citizens of Japan can have full faith and trust.
A free market would be the best thing but this game has limitations that make it impossible to have a totally free market.
We are perhaps the only party in Japan where it is acceptable for everyone's political views to differ slightly; it is not necessary for total agreement with our aims and goals for you to be welcome here. We are a party for free speech and free thinking, and there are no brownie-points to be won by following blindly like sheep.
Our party listens to the voices and opinions of all members - be they 12 days old or 12 months. It is completely open - there is no limit to what you can or can't do, other than your own ability. If you see something wrong in the party, you are encouraged to tell us about it, and then work with us as we try to correct it.
This is not an exclusive club - to become a part of it, all you need to do is show initiative and get involved. Our party is always looking for new active members.
We are the obvious choice for free thinkers - those who wish to be free of the hive mentality displayed in some of the larger parties. We stand for anyone who does not wish to be part of a conglomerate, we are there for anyone who wants to do their own thing.
We listen to every member of the party, and offer everyone a chance to be heard. Everyones voice is equal, and all members can rise to the top.
We have a great core of helpful, friendly and experienced players who are always more than happy to offer help or advice to fellow party members.
We have an enviable record in congress. All of our elected congressmen are active for the entire time they represent the party in congress. Our congressmen are among the most respected in the country.
Make more of your experience in eRepublik - join a party where you matter, and where you can make a difference.
Not level 7 yet ?
If you haven't reach lvl 7 yet, but you do want to become a member, then you only need to send a message to our Party President, No1kevlin, and you will be granted Associate Membership until you reach Level 7 and can join the Party in game.
Signed,
no1kevlin - Party President
