Welcome to Andronicos' Website

I'm Andronicos, a political activist who ventured into the murky world of Cyprus politics in November 2022. I dislike being called a politician as this often implies a corrupt, backstabbing, dishonest, boring person who would sell their own grandmother for power. I love kittens, puppies, babies, grandmothers, and have a sense of humour. Despite this, I ran in two recent elections as an independent candidate, and this site records my campaigns, current lobbying, and my 2026 plan to change Cyprus' political landscape. In my 'normal' life, I am a pensioner with 45 years' experience in technology and business. I teach and advise on AI. My wife Triona and I have six adult children and five grandchildren.

2023 Cyprus Presidential Campaign

I ran for president in 2023 despite Greek being my second language. I'm proud that many of my political ideas from my February 2023 campaign have been recognised and adopted at the highest levels of government and parliament, such as solar-panels-for-all payable through electricity bills. Though I had no chance of winning, being heard and making an impact was the real victory. You can find links to my 20 TV & radio interviews on my YouTube channel.

Section 32 explains my radical solution to the Cyprus problem:

To interest those who prefer having all their teeth extracted without anaesthetic than reading about politics, I also created an alternative satirical presidential manifesto poking fun at Cyprus' politics and myself.

How would you rule Cyprus as its absolute monarch?

Read how I would be Cyprus' all-powerful King in my satirical version, which included 50 emergency laws and decrees. Enjoy the humour and my childish 'artwork'. For example, training monkeys to deliver post using electric vans to rural properties.

2024 European Parliamentary Campaign: My 'Game of Thrones V1'

Out of frustration with the main political parties serving their own interests for decades, I ran as an independent MEP candidate in June 2024. My goal was to play a real-world Game of Thrones, using other people's armies to win a war without any violence. I persuaded my friend Fidias to also run as an MEP candidate, and I am delighted he made history. Watch 'YouTube Prankster Wins the European Election'. The video went viral.

I used AI extensively to research and create my political manifesto and images. I even video cloned myself speaking other languages to help get my messages understood.

Current Lobbying: Political and Practical

Since July 2024, I have been engaging with the smaller political parties, some of which already have elected MPs serving in parliament. I currently support the President and his government. It's the main political parties and parliament as a whole I take issue with.

My current lobbying:

• For Parliament's website to fully disclose MPs' pension rights and salary packages. The EU does! After five years, a Cyprus MP can get nearly €4,000 a month pension. It disgusts me that many pensioners only receive €400 a month, despite working for decades.
• To implement a system for MPs' staff to respond to emails and phone calls, rather than ignoring members of the public. MPs are servants of the people, so they should listen to the people.
• To amend Cyprus' European Parliament election laws to allow two votes across political parties and independent candidates.
• To transparently disclose MPs' names online after every law has been passed, showing who voted yes, no, or abstained. The EU shows how its MEPs voted. Cyprus Parliament does not, other than by ploughing through several hours of boring plenary session videos.
• To enact a law now for the Church to disclose its financials annually. Watch my 10 min video (English with Greek subtitles)
• To change the discriminatory law passed on 29 February 2024 requiring government advisors to hold a university degree, by including the words, 'or equivalent commercial experience'. 75% of Cypriots are not idiots. As it currently stands, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are considered unqualified and too stupid to advise the Cyprus government. Watch 'I was a Zombie baby' (10 mins English with Greek subtitles)
• To allow anyone with a Cyprus ID to vote. The current system is ridiculous which is why 175,000 citizens are not registered. To exercise their democratic right to vote, a citizen must visit a government office by appointment with original letters signed by various persons before being entered on the electoral roll. We're in 2024, not 1964! There are various government databases that store current addresses to ensure a person votes in the correct constituency.
• For all government ministries to implement nationwide tracking of emails, phone calls, and visits. If I call or email a government agency, I want a tracking number, escalation procedure if I'm not happy, and a simple online 'how did we do?' questionnaire.
• For a national AI Task Force to help transform public sector working practices and make it more efficient. I've had meetings at the highest level of government explaining how this can be safely achieved within six months. Learn how to use AI in an hour.
• An overhaul of the Cyprus pension system and how final pensions are calculated.

2026 Cyprus Parliamentary Election: My 'Game of Thrones V2'

I do not plan to run as a candidate in 2026. I intend to be a kingmaker, not a king. My goal is to coordinate a loose coalition of the smaller political parties. The success of this rainbow coalition relies on strategic voting and negotiating common political ideologies. Even parties with diverse interests and competing ideologies can find some common ground with my help. In July 2024, a coalition worked in France, and strategic voting in the UK.

My loyalty is to Cyprus, and I aim to change the political landscape in 2026. Citizens are tired of the self-serving main political parties that have controlled Cyprus for decades and who feast from the same table. There's a rude Greek expression describing the phenomenon of being tightly knit. The literal translation is 'they are as close as arse cheeks are to panties'. My first Game of Thrones was a success, Fidias won. With your help, my second will be too.

Disclaimer: I hold several MPs from AKEL, DISY, and DIKO in high regard, recognising their dedication to public service. Among them, Annita Demetriou (DISY), Irene Charalambidou (AKEL), Nikolas Papadopoulos (DIKO), and Haris Georgiadis (DISY) stand out as distinguished leaders. I believe that two of these individuals have the potential to be outstanding future Presidents of Cyprus. However, the parties they represent must undergo significant transformation. The Cypriot people have lost trust in the three main political parties, which currently hold 41 out of 56 seats, and by the 2026 parliamentary elections, they will be seeking meaningful change.
