Open Opportunity Party is a Center-left, Libertarian of [[South Africa]], they are currently the third party in the country and the successor of [[New Africa Party]]<ref>http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/oops-party-launch--1780585/1/20</ref>
+
OOPS affirms its support for perhaps the most important cause of all: Grooming [[South Africa]]’s next generation for leadership. In an Open-Opportunity Society, each individual has the capacity to pursue their [[eRepublik]] dreams and aspirations.  
  
 +
== Ideology ==
 +
Human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated. According to leftists, a society without substantial equality will distort the development of not only deprived persons, but also those whose privileges undermine their motivation and sense of social responsibility. This suppression of human development, together with the resentment and conflict engendered by sharp class distinctions, will ultimately reduce the efficiency of the economy.

OOPS believes in an open opportunity society committed to ensuring that each citizen can exert a political, economic, and militaristic influence in the New World. Each citizen can and should have an impact and be able to have fun. Membership is OPEN to ALL
Here at OOPS, we believe that inclusiveness is the way to build our nation and the New World.

Exclusion is part of what is destroying eRepublik. Not necessarily on the part of players—but the exclusionary practices being implemented into the game. An examples of exclusion’s destructiveness abound in eRepublik—like how only loyal customers with big bank accounts can exert influence in battles and economics.
+
== Manifesto and Objectives==
 +
People need to be excited about this game; they need to have a reason to log on every day. The Open Opportunity Party of South Africa seeks to embrace those reasons, whatever they may be for each player individually.
  
At OOPS, we seek to battle exclusiveness as much as possible with INCLUSIVENESS. We believe in an open opportunity society committed to ensuring that each citizen can exert a political, economic, and militaristic influence in the New World. Each citizen can and should have an impact and be able to have fun.
+
OOPS isn’t just about party members, it’s about eSA society as a whole. We strive to help all new players, regardless of ideology or affiliation.
  
It is only through encouraging new players that we will improve player retention, and it is only through hearing every viewpoint that we can arrive at the right decision.

Open Opportunity Party (abbreviation OOPS, full name Open Opportunity Party of South Africa) was a Center-left, Libertarian party of South Africa and the successor of New Africa Party[1]. It is unsure when the party ceased to exist and became Young Patriots.

Mission statements

Exclusion is part of what is destroying eRepublik. Not necessarily on the part of players—but the exclusionary practices being implemented into the game.

OOPS, Seeks to battle exclusiveness as much as possible with INCLUSIVENESS. It believes in an open opportunity society committed to ensuring that each citizen can exert a political, economic, and militaristic influence in the New World. Each citizen can and should have an impact and be able to have fun and influence in our glorious South Africa and global community.

OOPS affirms its support for perhaps the most important cause of all: Grooming South Africa’s next generation for leadership. In an Open-Opportunity Society, each individual has the capacity to pursue their eRepublik dreams and aspirations.

Ideology

Human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated. According to leftists, a society without substantial equality will distort the development of not only deprived persons, but also those whose privileges undermine their motivation and sense of social responsibility. This suppression of human development, together with the resentment and conflict engendered by sharp class distinctions, will ultimately reduce the efficiency of the economy.
