Less Law more [insert favorite thing]
Donovan Thomas
I would like your vote in Dublin for The Dáil.
My goals for the Dáil:
*Simplification of Legislation
*Effect change in our constitution to allow the legislative process to come more inline with game mechanics.
*Allow the people and not just the elected representatives a larger role in deciding the future of the Isle
Now for the longer explanation
Beurocratic Quagmire -or- More WAR less SNORE.
It takes 5 days minimum to pass any measure in game; two days of discussion, two days of voting, one more day of in game voting (where applicable). The issues that arose surrounding recent wars etc came about because of our inability to get our collective sh!t together in a timely manner. While other countries make things happen, we talk about things and then say “What happened?” Fixing that will be my top priority.
I will propose that legislation be dealt with in 3 days vice 5; 48 hours of discussion that begins with a public declaration in game of the TD’s measure with a link to the discussion in the forum. This will be followed by a 24hr in game vote (where applicable) or 24 hour vote in the Forum. I believe that this will streamline the process and allow those not in the Dáil to have a more active role in decision making. It will further allow the TD’s to better aim their votes to support their constituents and not just their personal views.
Ireland should be congratulated for its constitution. Brian Boru wrote an amazing living document during a time when eIreland had little else to do but practice politics. Until recently she had never declared war other than to train and still has never been attacked.
The great majority of the world is having a hell of a lot more fun than we are. There were more people online, buying, selling, laughing and yelling the day of The Battle of Belfast than any other since the Shannon Debacle.
That time is over. We now have a more active role in the region and with respect to the many who have tended that document over time (Credit to Dubh, Darragh etc) I believe that its complicated beurocratic nature leaves us in the lurch and unable to compete. There is not going back to an eIreland of heads in the sand.
We make things happen now. We don’t wait for them to happen.
V2 and Industry
I’ve been in contact with 5n4keyes in regards to many of the coming changes inherent to V2 and believe that he is by far the subject matter expert where it is concerned. Though a British citizen and member of government he still cares for eIreland (as many of her departed sons do). Though I have been a successful businessman since my e-youth I’ve never had an interest in economics beyond the company level. That said I will work closely with 5n4keyes to ensure to the best of my ability that we are prepared for V2.
Note: I am sympathetic to the Lambda Project and would like to see more data.
If you believe these are good ideas, if you wish to maintain our current momentum on the Global Stage, if you wish to prepare for Version II and not waste time arguing about “what if”, then I would be obliged to have your vote for congress.
Thank you,
Donovan Thomas.

Ice cream.
😃 if I were in Dublin I'd vote DT 😁
Good luck mate, I really do hope you can speed things up.
I like it, good luck!
Ireland will benefit from the Donovan-effect!!
Agreed. Good luck, DT. I'm sure you'll get in and put yourself to good use 😛
I wanted to re-write the constitution .... twice in fact. The people didn't want it.
🙂
"more grass, less crass...."
sons? and daughters too don't forget...
Shannon Debacle? Harrumph...Exercise if you please...in fact the only godamn time Ireland learned anything of its people, its allies, or its military readiness, as I recall.
Well, ofc, ádh mór!
Tóg go bog é 😉
The shannon debacle! 😃 Ah...some good memories. 🙂
"*Simplification of Legislation"
Long overdue.
Despite your recent hatrid of me donovan, I know, and im sure everyone knows you'll be an excellent T.D.
Best of luck.
Awww Grainne 😉 I was always lousy at "Ancient History" *ducks*
How about "The Shannon Exercise Debacle" 🙂 God knows I'd love another like it!
@Bryan, no hate here man. 'Tis a game. Thanks and cheers O/
Vote DT for Ireland! I'm running in Dublin too, good luck!
Could we not use the War Council for all Military decisions like it was supposed to be used.
The Shannon Debacle the most involved I was ever in the game calling for international help and getting very pissed off when it was found out to be a fake 🙁
Pip, we most certainly could if we changed the laws to say so.
The question is, do the people feel as I do that we are hindered by too much law?
I believe that some are. We'll see to what extent eh?
Good Luck DT. You have my vote.
So are you done with the Theocrat thing?
Best of luck, DT. 🙂
@Darragh And it's still a good idea. You were before your time is all. 🙂
"My goals for the Dáil:

*Effect change in our constitution to allow the legislative process to come more inline with game mechanics."
That was tried when Edana first got in but then nothing was done about it.
Because every reply to the topic was negative.
Well Darragh, If I'm I elected then perhaps we can hammer these changes through together.
The voting laws were only changed recently to go to the 48/48 format, which I disagreed with and voted against.
The old method of a 48 hours discussion/24 hour vote was always better, imo, and i would vote positively to return it back to the old format.
Less Law, more PINK!

Best of luck from the Princess herself, DT ♥
Bureaucratic*
