Party History

As of April 15, 2009, the right-wing, totalitarian party We are the Borg, was the confirmed historical predecessor of the party. In the April elections, the party was by now essentially defunct, and Aether stepped in to create the Eoddworld Political Party. However, the party continued to stagnate. In the May elections, demokratickid won the Party Presidency by one vote and subsequently changed the name, the political values and manifesto of the struggling party. The official newspaper of the party was The Honour Report.

Philanthropy

On May 17, 2007, the party incorporated company Honour Grain to serve as a citizen skills training centre. The company was situated in North West of England and was producing Grain.

Motto

Pium Presentia et Perseverantia or, Patriotism, Presence of Mind, and Perseverance

The Sixteenth-of-May Manifesto

A proposal to the UK

The British public has invested much confidence, and rightly so, in their system of government. What if, however, that government could be improved? What if that government could make our great nation into a great rock of solidarity amongst the community of nations? We of the British Honour Party propose to do just that, and we invite the great British public to help us in our endeavour. The UK has a bright future indeed, and cooperation is mandated in the realization of it.

Policies Domestic...

On England's green and blessed shore, and for that matter the whole of the UK, there are certain issues which must be addressed. The first and foremost of which is unemployment. The embarrassing rate of unemployment in our nation is one of the worst in eRepublik. The Ministry of Work under John Forseti has done much to employ our people, but with only five companies and only three of them staffed, it is simply not enough. With our economy recovering after the recent wargames debacle, we can begin to focus on remaking the economy. The government made the right step toward helping the common citizen when they issued a voluminous amount of GBP. What must be done is to increase the budget so more UK citizens can be employed. If the government companies are inadequate to support the number of workers, more companies should be bought from private citizens and converted into government-owned companies. With this larger base to employ UK citizens, our workforce will become more skilled and allow our economy to grow. This will be paid for by the eventual profits made from the companies, and will over time return profits to the treasury. If the need for a company is reduced or it has served its purpose, it should be sold off and the money deposited back in the treasury. We of the British Honour Party are not proposing a big-government takeover or control of industry; we are simply using the government as a large springboard for the economy. Plus, profits would result in a tax break for the citizens of eUK.

Now, to avoid the favoring of one industry over another, and thus destabilizing the markets, the companies should be spread out in breadth. If a government controlled company has too many employees at one, it could encourage a ‘transfer’ of some to another company through various means. The second point is of immigration. The UK is the fourth-largest nation in eRepublik and growing rapidly. We of the British Honour Party resolve to increase further the size of the UK. Thus, a new ministry would be created called the 'Ministry of Immigration.' It would not be like the former Ministry of Migration, where inter-UK migration was encouraged, it would be for extra-UK migration. The weight on the government as a financial burden should be relatively small, as ambassadors could conduct the immigration drive within their own sphere. We of the British Honour Party are in favor of abolishing the House of Lords unless there are serious changes made to their structure, most especially about how active Lords have to be.

…and Foreign

And now, for foreign policies. Recent shady arms deals and possible cheating have only strengthened the resolve of the BHP to reassess war in the UK. While Romania is currently receiving a beating at the hands of PEACE allies, it is not the job of eUK alone to jump in the line of fire and sacrifice ourselves at the behest of Romania. We are allies in ATLANTIS, though, so we must honour our contracts and help them whenever possible. However, at most times, a time of watchful waiting is in order. On day 541 of the new world, Romania lost three key battles which may spell ruin for that country. The UK must be prepared to make attempts to extricate itself from that alliance if it fails. We of the British Honour Party, though firm in our support for ATLANTIS, do propose to open cordial relations with other PEACE nations that we currently don’t have an ambassador for. For instance, Japan, Italy or the United Netherlands. Recently, North Korea has been added to the game and there are all sorts of machinations going on in that country. We of the British Honour Party propose to leave them alone, with no political manoeuvres or otherwise. We don’t want the second Czech Republic.

Conclusion

We of the British Honour Party hope you have read our manifesto and understood our principles, our desires for a better, stronger, and more economically sound UK. If you read this and share our views, please join us and our party. Thank you for taking the time to read our manifesto.

Most sincerely,

demokratickid - President of the British Honour Party

Historical: Eoddworld March Manifesto

The planning of forming a pure Capitalist political party and this is the party's manifesto.

  • Rebuilding the UK economy so that it will rival the other top countries
  • Bringing down everyone's wage to the required minimum to maximise profits
  • Reward the harder working citizens with increased wages and lower them if the citizen becomes inactive or lazy
  • Take away the NHS due to the large proportion of money spent upon it, the money could be spent in areas of the economy that are lagging
  • As for the military, the money that would have been paid for the NHS for this sector so that the UK will have a far more efficient army.

Fall of the British Honour Party

After messy internal divisions, the British Honour Party effectively disbanded in late June of 2009 though the party name was not changed until July. That July change is marked as the official end of the British Honour Party.
