Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

Not the Worst President Ever?

Not the Worst President Ever, But a Definite Contender

Quote:
 
Although George W. Bush is probably not the worst president in U.S. history (Woodrow Wilson may have that dubious honour), the president may be in contention for that title in the post-Second World War era.

Although he still has 2 1/2 years to go in his term and could conceivably orchestrate a late-inning rally, the way he has run his administration to date makes that doubtful. But Bush does have some stiff competition from other post-war administrations that failed—those of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.



OR


He's The Worst Ever

Quote:
 
Historians are loath to predict the future. It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history.



You Choose!

I think all the MPs should be put in one room, napalmed, then we bring Wellington back from the dead and reinstate him as PM.

Edit: Oh PI how many people were on the balot at the last Irish Presidential elections?

He taxes too much. He needs egging. With eggs bought under a capitalist system just to annoy him, stupid commie.

Hopefully the SNP will win the Scottish elections and break off from the UK then we won't have to worry about the bastard, we can get someone other than him instead.

No, I mean I hope Scotland breaks off from the UK so the UK doesn't have to suffer Brown because he represents a Scottish constituency.

I'm not Scottish.

And thats the way the cookie crumbles.

PI if Scotland breaks off from the UK. Labour will loose it's majority as well as alot of Scottish strongholds and the LDs will loose several large strongholds and about 40% of their MPs. The Tories will loose one seat.

Effectively England will become a Tory state.

Better than a socialist one. But we need more independents.

Well, with the Proportional representation system in place in the House of Lords for the next election. People can look forwards to the rise of the BNP and the green party, who based on the ammount of votes they got last election, should get 5 seats and about 25 seats respectively.

At least no party should have an overall majority, so that means that dodgy bills shouldn't get passed.

The tradition in Ireland is that if they want to run for a second term (there can only be two) then The President is unopposed. That happened in the last election.

The election before that had 4 Candidates

Cameron is a tory/Socialist... Or have you not been paying attension?

Come on! Lets sell the houses of parliament (UK, Scot, Welsh and NI) and put the MPs in warehouses in the arse end of nowhere where its nice and cheap. Give local councils more power and do away with the wips once and for all! End the party machine of tyranny!

Just highlighting the ties that remain.

True Independence has yet to happen.


(am I right in thinking the British Governor? Dismissed an Australian Prime Minister in the 70's)

The queen stays the head of the country unless remove by war(ex.U.S). But the queen is just a figure head. She has no real power. The British Governor has no real power either. It just for show.

Street lamps aren't all that neccessary, you can just put your own up outside your house if you want.

You can pay private companies to take your rubbish to an incinerator or the landfill. It'd be far cheaper.
