A good day to all TSPers!
Today, I officially take up the role of Prime Minister. As I outlined in my election campaign, I intend for my government to be one that is accountable to all, one that prioritizes action, and one that will promote advancement for those that seek it.
I have already submitted the names that I intend to appoint to the Cabinet to the Assembly, and if these nominations are successful they will take on their roles in less than a week. You can read more about my Cabinet’s plans and the discussions relating to these plans in this thread. On top of that, I will remain as OWL Director for the time being.
One of my first priorities will be to ensure forum integration for the working of this government as much as possible — as useful as Discord is as a platform for working and communication, a strong forum presence is important for reasons of accountability and visibility as well. This will mean regular communication of Cabinet activities forum-side, and a move towards more executive work done on the forum where possible.
I will make several sub-Cabinet level appointments in the next few days, specifically in the Foreign Affairs Council and Domestic Affairs Council. When my Cabinet is appointed, I will empower my Cabinet to make further such appointments as deemed necessary (e.g. Deputy Minister/Junior Minister appointments with access to Cabinet). To promote advancement, opportunities for lower-level staff and volunteers for the various projects in the term ahead will be publicized on the forum, on Discord, and gameside.
TSP is NS’s oldest extant democracy, a region where power has lied with its people for over 21 years. This term is an opportunity for all of us to channel that power in a positive direction, and I hope that you will all join me in seizing this opportunity towards making TSP more vibrant and more resilient than ever.
