− | + | Since December 2009 Daniel Parker was active in the Ministry of Recruitment and Coaching first as [[Secretary of State]] under '''Sjakie03''', then 1 term under [[Mitch Rapp]]. He mainly focused on the Coaching part, since it lay in rubble. From January 2010 Daniel Parker served 2 terms as [[Minister]] of Recruitment and Coaching. During this time and later on until August 2010, he kept the coaching-team alive serving in the executive title of ´Head of Coaching´. | |

===== Recruitment & Coaching revisited ===== | ===== Recruitment & Coaching revisited ===== | ||
+ | Although he swore never to return to R&C, in late 2010 Parker was encouraged by many people to return to R&C after his term as the Prime Minister. [[Frerk]] took up the position before him, but didn't fulfil his 3-month term, because of the backfire the language change to officially Dutch generated (a plan was supported by Daniel as well). Frerk lost interest in eNL (which was still called [[United Netherlands|eUNL]] a month before) and fled off to the {{CountryLink|UK}}. Daniel Parker was told that he was the man to revive the country's low population (all-time low of around 500), Parker reformed the R&C department once again, making it fully independent from the government, but at the centre stage of society. The reforms this time focused mainly on Recruitment. Although he signed up for a 3 month period, and the recruiting team seemed to form a nice shape, and the general vibe was positive, Daniel Parker quit the game after becoming disillusioned about the game after his failures on the battlefield (spent over {{Gold|240}} in a (futile) attempt to get a Battle Hero Medal). ''(for the record it must be added that his beloved Independent Party which he helped found and nurtured got [[Political takeover|PTO'd]] by an unknown Croat, was a prelude to this disillusionment)'' | ||

Party politics
Libertarian party
Daniel Parker became a member of the Libertarian Party (LP) and helped Thomas Fairfax get elected as Party president of LP in November 2009. With the help of Daniel Parker, LP became the 5th party and did manage to get into Congress. Daniel Parker showed interest in running for Party president, but on the advice of senior party members postponed this wish.
He served 5 more terms as Vice president of LP before becoming Party president of the party for 2 terms. The Party broke up after its founder Mighty Sigh left, and its other strongman (long-term) Party President Thomas Fairfax became less and less active. Conflicts arose between Myers11 (1x PP) and Daniel Parker about the future of the party, eventually made Myers11 leave to Green Liberal Party (GLD), while Daniel Parker put all his efforts transforming LP into the Independent Party.
Independent Party
Daniel Parker is a founding member of the Independent Party, the successor of the Libertarian Party.
He has fulfilled the role of Vice Party president (VPP) since the party was founded together with his friend Markus Bell who has taken up the role of Party president for After Markus left for Canada, Parker became Party President for three (non-consecutive) terms (the longest in IP history).
The Independent Party was considered the 3rd party of the nation, making it a wanted partner for the coalition based governments. It was a unique position because of its neutral and independent stance, every member had to decide for themselves if they wanted the government for themselves.
In Congress, it got many proposals through unharmed, among them the institution of ads in-game to lure new players to the forums, temporary tax raise for war efforts which would be lowered later on, and restructuring of the government.
IP was able to supply many Ministers and Secretaries of State and 2 Prime Ministers (Boklevski and Daniel Parker).
Democratisch Nederland
After a brief period of being a member of Verenigd Nederland, Daniel Parker joined Democratisch Nederland hoping to help their aspirations for a communicative and democratic society.
Government
Recruitment & Coaching
Since December 2009 Daniel Parker was active in the Ministry of Recruitment and Coaching first as Secretary of State under Sjakie03, then 1 term under Mitch Rapp. He mainly focused on the Coaching part, since it lay in rubble. From January 2010 Daniel Parker served 2 terms as Minister of Recruitment and Coaching. During this time and later on until August 2010, he kept the coaching-team alive serving in the executive title of ´Head of Coaching´.
Recruitment & Coaching revisited
Although he swore never to return to R&C, in late 2010 Parker was encouraged by many people to return to R&C after his term as the Prime Minister. Frerk took up the position before him, but didn't fulfil his 3-month term, because of the backfire the language change to officially Dutch generated (a plan was supported by Daniel as well). Frerk lost interest in eNL (which was still called eUNL a month before) and fled off to the UK. Daniel Parker was told that he was the man to revive the country's low population (all-time low of around 500), Parker reformed the R&C department once again, making it fully independent from the government, but at the centre stage of society. The reforms this time focused mainly on Recruitment. Although he signed up for a 3 month period, and the recruiting team seemed to form a nice shape, and the general vibe was positive, Daniel Parker quit the game after becoming disillusioned about the game after his failures on the battlefield (spent over 240 GOLD in a (futile) attempt to get a Battle Hero Medal). (for the record it must be added that his beloved Independent Party which he helped found and nurtured got PTO'd by an unknown Croat, was a prelude to this disillusionment)
Advisor role
Daniel Parker served 1 term as an official advisor to the Government. However, he was consulted pretty often by people new to their government function in the capacity of ´Head of Coaching´.
Foreign Affairs
Daniel Parker became State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 26th of June 2010 where he blew new life into the ambassador system and started discussions and plans on how to reorganize that section.
Ambassador
Since 4 December 2009, Daniel Parker was the first Ambassador for the eUNL situated in Singapore. He later became region manager of South East Asia & Oceania. And severed a couple of months as an ambassador for Indonesia. He also served 1 term as Chief ambassador. Served a couple of terms as ambassador for Norway and Poland
Interior & Information
Before leaving politics Daniel Parker served 1 (almost full) term as State Secretary of Interior of Information in Juli 2010, where his efforts went into the making of a series of informative articles. But also he focused on redesigning the government newspaper formats and setting up the designs for a new Dutch Medals, which he thought his country lacked.
Prime Minister
Daniel Parker served 1 term as Prime Minister of the Netherlands, uniting the many diverse parties. In that term, he changed the constitution so far that the position of Prime Minister was removed, in order to make way for a semi-CP-centered government. After Daniel Parker nullified the title of Prime Minister, he considered running for Country President but made way for his friend and former party member Andreas Isaksson, for who he felt he could bind the country like no other can.
Defense
In February 2011 Daniel Parker was appointed as Minister of Defense (minister of war to be precise), whereof he altered the names of the army sections and expanded the army structure into its current form. He tried to help out in a volatile time when both Poland and Serbia occupied his country.
Interiour & Information
Being less active due to RL commitments, Daniel Parker took the easy job (for him at least) of SS of MoHa (also known as the Wiki-minister). Since he started the wikiproject Netherlands in the first place he seemed to be the perfect guy for this job.
Finance
Hoping to get a better understanding of how the state finances are being managed, Daniel got himself a position as Secretary of State at the Dutch Ministry of Finance.
Presidency
In May 2011 Parker ran for president as Democratic Party candidate against Epix (I&W) and groenewilde (CLN). It was considered an exiting elections, because seldomly in NL 2 candidates run which have a lot of experience. Epix had a lot of XP as a soldier, but not a lot of political clout.
The public apparently recognized Daniel to be more suitable due to his career in every ministry of the country. Ironically Daniel Parker was the first to fully form a semi-CP-government under the rules of the constitution he created, amongst others to involve a formateur from a competing party and the Party Presidents. It took 4 days to form a government. Daniel Parker's presidency was soon to be tested after France signed peace with Poland, after which the latter declared Netherlands a Natural enemy once again, only to wipe the Netherlands for the 5th time in half a year. That was the end of Poland-Netherlands War (May 2011). After a long and argues debate with both the Polish MoFa Maniek M and the Dutch congress, finally, a truce was agreed upon.
