Igor Thunderbrow
Daoine na hEireann,
Tomorrow brings us our first ever independant congressional elections. I have already published an article detailing the vast myriad of reasons to support the Irish Union Party but owing to the independant nature of these elections, I feel that I should tell you why I feel that I am worthy of your vote tomorrow.
As congressman, I have made my opinions known on every issue. I have voted on every proposal and every bill before congress in this past term. My own proposal on the Minimum Wage helped bring an end to the Admin created mess that was the V1 launch day Wage structures. I was instrumental in my short tenure as Minister of Defense in ensuring that all IDF members were supported financially by the government and I have brought the concerns of the people before congress on many occasions.
First among these is, what I perceive to be, the democratic deficit in this country's governance. All decisions are either made solely by the president or by only the elite few in the congress. As a member of congress I will do my utmost to bring an end to the current lack of communication between congress and the people. This is most characterised in the failure of the government to provide information about their proposals outside of the forums where only a small minority are registered.
I was the only congressman in eIreland in this term to provide a discussion link for my proposal! This is frankly disgraceful and excludes the average eIrish citizen from our political system. Democracy is "government of the people, by the people, for the people" not for an elite few and this is an issue that I will focus on if you reelect me to congress to serve a second mandate.
Throughout my term I have spoken my mind and not shyed away from delivering my opinion. This has brought me to blows with a few other politicians. However, I will never shirk from my duty, if something looks wrong to me I will say it loud and clear.
Asides from a few minor tensions, my past term was all about cooperation. Our joint economic proposal with the Irish Republican Socialist Party is a good example of this and despite what the president would have you believe, I have supported any governmental proposals that I feel are best for the eIrish people such as the recent proposal regarding the provision of hospitals for eIreland.
So vote for Democracy and vote for what is best for eIreland.
Vote for Igor Thunderbrow and the Irish Union Party.
Go raibh mile maith agaibh.

I could be wrong, but im pretty sure that you cant be voted into congress...
+1 for Igor
@Michael: I am the only congressman to include a discussion forum in my congressional proposal and I have been calling on a referendum for Ottawa for the past few days.
I also do call on the media to be used, 5n4keyes is president of Ireland in eRepublik, not just in the forums.
Some people do not want to register on the forums, for whatever reason. Why should they be excluded from the democratic process?
ive been part of the game now for 25 days, and im almost of a level where i can join a party and vote, which is something ive been looking into, and i have to admit, igor thunderbrow isnt someone i would entrust to become a toilet cleaner, let alone congress or president, he appears to not be stable, clearly is going behind peoples backs, and constantly makes himself out to be some kind of hero, which doesnt work! igor thunderbrow is a poor choice for anything and everything, im not sure where my vote would of gone, but certainly not here.
tbh I very much dislike the forum,
I registered there and checked it out about two times.. posted something and then felt like never going back there..
ofc that is my choice, but I don't see the problem in discussing politics of the game in the game itself..
really your forum is a ugly, wannabe elitist meeting place mc..
Please do not vote for me anymore. I have twice as many votes as any other candidate and your vote would be wasted.
If you wish to support me and the Irish Union Party please vote for the Irish Union Party.
I would particularly like people to vote for Daxus Darkfire, Wes Tanner and Theus Jackus.
Igor.. Igor... when will u learn your lesson?
Btw, u're on your way to become a pest for eIreland, sorry to say it... but that's just what u will be..
The people of eIreland would not appear to have the same opinion of me...
@Inanis
You make out like people are forced to not write articles ingame. People just don't a lot of the time, know why? Because it's their choice that the forums are 100x more efficient and convinient.
Well it is the same 8 or 9 people who bother posting on the forums.
Again I say, it is not fair to expect citizens to have to register on the forums. There are many reasons that they might not want to.
If a government is elected in game. They should communicate with the people, in game.
Please vote for
Daxus Darkfire
Josiah Roberts
Thomas Page
Bertie Ahern
Txapo
They need just one vote to secure congressional seats which they might lose out on due to exp!!
Thanks for all your support and your votes.
