Hello everyone,
Firstly, thank you to the 15 people who supported me in the recent presidential election. Roughly 18% of the vote was not enough to win, and I will not pretend otherwise, but it was a meaningful beginning for a relatively new party and showed that some people want greater political competition.
Congratulations again to Hippie on his victory. My decision to stand was never based on personal hostility towards him or the Forest Guard. I stood because a healthy country needs genuine competition, fresh ideas and leaders who know they cannot take continued support for granted.
That result has not discouraged me. I am now standing for Congress so I can continue building something practical.
I want Britain to have a more active political system.
Congress members should not merely hold a title. They should participate consistently, explain their decisions, speak to citizens, examine proposals properly and contribute ideas of their own.
I have not always been as active as I would have liked, and I will not pretend otherwise. However, I am active now, I intend to remain active, and I have already begun turning several of my ideas into actual projects.
If elected, I want to be a Congress member who communicates, listens and produces visible work.
The United Kingdom Prosperity Party has grown to 30 listed members. I recognise that the new starter mission contributed to that growth and that membership numbers do not automatically equal active voters. That is why I have also been carrying out activity checks, speaking directly with members and organising our Congress candidates properly.
Outside the party, I have:
Funded and tested recruitment advertising intended to bring new British players into War Era.
Welcomed and advised newer UK citizens.
Built Xerox Enterprises into a substantial active employer.
Provided jobs and economic support to players from Britain and abroad.
Organised regular community giveaways.
Drafted a completely new UK beginner guide.
Shared that guide with members of the government for review.
Started conversations about greater cooperation between parties.
The beginner guide is not finished yet. Because the upcoming update is expected to add major mechanics such as movement and stamina, it makes more sense to finalise it afterwards rather than immediately publishing something that becomes outdated. Once the update arrives, I intend to revise the guide, add useful screenshots and publish it as a politically neutral resource for every new British player.
I also have not forgotten the promised UKPP membership giveaway. That will be handled once the immediate Congress work is completed.
My main area of interest remains the economy.
Deposits now have different strengths, territories provide different advantages, and production specialisations can substantially affect which industries are viable. Britain should make these decisions using current figures rather than assumptions or outdated advice.
If elected, I want to support:
Regular reviews of British deposits, strategic resources and production bonuses.
Tax and specialisation decisions based on actual market conditions.
Better communication between government and British businesses.
Support for essential products that the ordinary market cannot produce sustainably.
Reliable employment and economic opportunities for newer citizens.
Greater coordination between companies without preventing fair competition.
Some detailed economic strategies should be discussed privately with the government and participating businesses rather than publicly advertised to every other country. I will be transparent about our objectives, laws and public spending while protecting genuinely sensitive economic information.
Recruiting somebody is only the first step. We then need to give them a reason to remain.
New citizens should quickly receive:
A clear and accurate beginner guide.
Help choosing their early skills.
Access to reliable employment.
Assistance joining the UK Discord.
Introductions to active Military Units.
A real person they can contact when they are confused.
I am willing to act as one of those contacts myself. Over time, I would also like to establish a small volunteer network covering economic, military and general support.
Germany and our other allies have provided valuable assistance, and this is not an argument against those relationships. However, a good ally should also bring something to the table.
Britain needs a stronger domestic economy, more active fighters and the ability to fund its own priorities. We should aim to become a dependable contributor rather than a country that must continually rely upon stronger allies to carry the burden.
Longer term, I would like Britain to explore a transparently funded strategic reserve and a voluntary National Prosperity Fund. Any contribution system should be progressive, exempt newer players and publicly account for how every contribution is spent.
These ideas require consultation and proper costing. I am presenting them as projects to develop, not pretending they can be created overnight.
I will work with the Forest Guard, the British Farmers Party, independents and anybody else who presents a sensible proposal.
Supporting political competition does not mean opposing everything the government does. Good proposals should receive support regardless of who introduces them. Poor proposals should be questioned regardless of who is in office.
I also support genuine contested elections and an honest discussion about leadership renewal or voluntary term limits. Long service is not automatically a bad thing, but nobody should assume that any position belongs to them indefinitely.
UKPP is not intended to be a one-person party. I have deliberately chosen not to concentrate all of our core support upon myself.
Our members are coordinating their votes behind:

https://app.warera.io/user/6a24695ac7637906a7119a75
I am standing separately because I believe I may also be able to earn support from the wider country.
If you are a UKPP member, please continue following the allocation posted in our party chat. If you are not part of that allocation and remain undecided, I would greatly appreciate your consideration.
I cannot promise instant transformation, guaranteed territorial victories or an economy that changes overnight.
What I can promise is activity, honest communication, detailed economic work, support for new players and a willingness to cooperate without being afraid to challenge stagnation.
The presidential election was only the beginning. Whether I am elected this time or not, I intend to continue building the UKPP, completing the beginner guide, supporting British citizens and helping create a stronger and more active United Kingdom.
Thank you for reading.
Winston Turtle
Leader of the United Kingdom Prosperity Party
