The UKPP aims to be a party that supports new players by allowing them to help shape party policy.

Your in-game age, strength, wealth or connections are not what matters - your commitment, activity and desire to succeed do.
Contents
Manifesto
Taxation Policy
1% Income Tax 99% Import Tax 1% VAT
By partywide ballot the UKPP members have expressed their preference for a low flat rate with high tariff policy.
Minimum Wage
Minimum wage should remain at 0.10GBP in order to facilitate communes to operate.
Impeachments
In order for an impeachment to be supported by the party, a supermajority of 80% of the UKPP congress members must agree to it. A national cross-party agreement for the impeachment must also be in place in order to respect the democratic process.
Tax Expenditure
MPP's with our close allies are top priority for the national budget at all times. Beyond that, saving and austerity should be paramount in order to restore the financial reserves of the national treasury.
Geopolitics
We should aim to maintain our Poland-centric alliances, such as Slovenia and Slovakia, while continuing our friendships with Balkan allies such as Serbia and Hungary; Mediterranean allies such as Macedonia; and further afield allies such as Indonesia and Chile.
Congress Gold Donations
Any Gold donated by UKPP congress members will be converted to currency and used to purchase Welcome Baskets that will be handed out to new UKPP members.
History
The UKPP is a party modelled around supporting new players and giving them a chance to get involved while also providing a platform for older, dedicated citizens to maintain their political career. Formed originally as a protest group, it has grown into the 2nd largest party in the UK.
| Party History | ||
|---|---|---|
| Title | History | |
| OCT 2011 | Baby Steps | Born on the 16th of October 2011 the party was quick to get started by obtaining a long dead party and buying its own MU. Within 2 days the party had obtained enough members and signatures to get a forum group, this allowed the members to chat and help the party grow. Mini Munch the party president for the party made sure that the party had all of the necessary support for its members by creating and maintaining the IRC channel and wiki page. The great response of the community gave the party a good 20 membership surge within a few days, this was a huge confidence boost for Mini Munch and Baroness Margaret Thatcher.
The parties speedy start dwindled by the start of its second week with the Party President Mini Munch taking a more of a guiding role to steer the party in the right direction. This did not work as well as planned as the Recruitment Manager become too busy to begin recruitment which created a lot more work for Baroness Margaret Thatcher. UKPP missed out on its first congress for October/November as it sat in 6th place 20 members behind the top 4 spot. This would become the first goal of the party, To reach the top 5. This is when the recruitment for UKPP began. The party started to steam forward at the end of its first term releasing its first Media articles on the 3/11/2011 A Better Way Forward?. Shortly after the UKPP Officials began working to get the party into the top five and build the community that the UK needed. |
| NOV 2011 | Growing Pains | The 2nd Term started much like the first with a great motivational force pushing it forward. Baroness Margaret Thatcher was finally at the public head of the party and could begin working to get the party to the top. It didn't take long for the party to get into the top 5 knocking The UK Democratic Party out.
The party however ran into trouble when the TUP/UKRP mods on the 'national' forum banned Baroness Margaret Thatcher prior to the parties first congress elections. The lack of control was evident in the results that sparked a lot of hatred by the establishment against UKPP as they were placed fully responsible for the election of 2 questionable members of the community. |
| DEC 2011 | A New Force | December 2011 was a crucial time for the party as the PP elections came around. Sir Nick Griffin (The UKPP's recruiting dynamo) was up against the troll PTO'er Bob Boblo. Sir Nick Griffin cruised to an easy victory and under his aegis the party expanded rapidly, shooting past PCP without pause and quickly onto the tail end of ESO in third.
Financial, structural and support systems within the party were established and on his very last day in office - the UKPP edged out ESO to become a top 3 party. After a small period of consolidation during which ESO once again managed to pull back into third, Angela Williams oversaw the most impressive recruiting drive in the parties and the UKs history. In under a week the party grew from 120 members to over 205 members as they blew past ESO and overhauled a shocked and dying UKRP. The drive was capped off by UKPP member ImmortalD running for the Country Presidency. Against a strong candidate with support from all the rival parties, ImmortalD finished second becoming de-facto VP of the nation as it continued its struggle against Canada, France and whoever Ireland got to fight for it that week. |

| September 2011 | Rift and Rough | Midway through 2011, much of the Royal Navy leadership left after being accused of not fulfilling their role. They in turn founded the Royal Army Dental Corps. This created an obvious rift between what was ultimately two sides of the UKPP. Following a very tightly fought PP election, this rift was further intensified with Dannyboy0014 as the winning candidate being a member of the Dental Corps.
Mediation and regular discussions have served to repair this rift and the party is getting back on track. |
