Not bad.

Tad short but meh

Nice article, Elite.

Whiners gonna whine tho.

eIreland has developed a professional whining class. If they don't get things the way they want them, they throw tantrums and try to break everyone else's toys out of spite. Never crosses their minds to be constructive and persuasive, it's just do it my way or else.

I think MUFC has done a decent job. Not on a list of the greatest CP's ever, but far from the worst.

While I replied to an exact same comment with no avail on another article, I will dare repeat myself here.

The concept of democracy NEEDS opposition for it to function. Democracy is based on opposition of diverging ideas and opinions on which we can debate and discuss to find compromises and try to find the better solution.

The current situation in eIreland, everyone who voice their opinions are either dismissed, silenced, ignored or called whinners. This is no good attitude if we seek a fine democratic discussion within the country.

Currently, we have a group of people led mainly by MUFC who lead the country as if it was a single-party state worthy of the worst dictators. This is no democracy. When the CP avoids discussion with the concerned or paint them in a corner as public ennemies because their ideas and opinions opposes his, he doesn't act like a democrat but as a dictator.

When you refuses the discussion, debate and confrontation it is because you think yourself infallible, allknowing and think no one could make you realise something you didn't think before. That is what MUFC is showing the people of eIreland with his one headed state and politics with the consequences that went with it in the past and the shitty consequences ahead if this anti-democratic behavior is further encouraged

Civil disobedience is common in peoples suppressed or marginalized

And the last way to oppose/escape oppression.

I absolutely believe in opposing things you feel are wrong. Like I've said before, I'm not an apologist for MUFC, that's his job.

There is, however, a difference between standing up and in a dignified, reasonable manner, saying I disagree with this and this is why, and falling on the ground pounding your fists and heels while screaming at the top of your lungs. One makes you a person who can be worked with for the good of the country, the other makes you an immature, spoiled child. IMO, there are way to many spoiled children here and not enough adults trying to build consensus for the good of all.

please see this comment^

Ah will you go away with that Paddy, we have seen a number of good articles critising the way MUFC does certain things and they have valid points.

You think we'd get an answer bar "ah your only trying to cause probs" and other crap like that.

If issues raised in government are being ignored, as we've been lead to believe, then it is unsurprising to find those issues brought into public forum

You say you're not an apologist for MUFC, but you don't see the big picture.

MUFC seems like a decent enough President when he's in office, not because he brings people together or has excellent policies, but because he plays the populist. Hence why we're currently at war, why military spending is through the roof etc.

Then, when his term or terms are over, other Presidents have to pick up the pieces.

Isn't part of being the CP to carry out the will of the people? As a group, the citizens desired to enter into a TW, so he got us one. It got turned into a real war by a troll. I don't have access to the books, but, what is being reported, is that our financial status is improving. IF that is so, where is the problem?

Like I've said, if you disagree with him, lay out what he's doing wrong and why, so that people can see it. I see to many personal attacks on him, and most folks are just tired of it and tune it out. That benefits no one except the trolls.

I'd agree there are big picture items I don't see, due to lack of knowledge of the game so far. I'm more than willing to learn, however, so if you see me wrong some where, let me know and then it's beneficial to everyone as I can do a better job as a member of congress.

The will of the people is not determined, because the consequences of the policies are not explained to the people by the government. If the opposition, for example myself, point out the consequences, it is dismissed as political point scoring alone.

How can the people make a good decision when they are lacking the facts?

I do lay out what he's doing wrong and why, and so do many others. The personal attacks come when he dismisses these concerns like they're raving mad, instead of engaging with the opposition to make things better.

Also, MUFC could have prevented the war easily, but war is popular.

More importantly, when a country is at war, criticising the government looks like you're siding with the enemy, even if you aren't.

Pretty sure I remember MUFC saying in his campaign he'd get us a training war with eUK, but I don't remember anyone complaining about it.

Don't talk to me about siding with the enemy BB, don't even go there. It's hypocritical not of you, but considering your buds are constantly criticizing our government and giving the british screenshots of our congress threads to work in their favor. Not to mention had they never trolled with the NE (if it was just a troll that is, and didn't have this purpose) then we wouldn't be in this war.

And you talk about siding with the enemy and criticizing your own government... that's funny.

"It got turned into a real war by a troll"

Thats clearly wrong, I don't know how many times it needs to be said but why not once more.

We have seen these rouge NE's go through before but both governments talk between themselves and sort out how to close any war that breaks out.

😁 see? Understand? Govs need to talk, dont act like this is the first NE because its not.

But it is the first President who couldn't talk with the UK and make sure its not a problem.

Raven ill ask you about hypocritical, durning MUFC's last term can you deny that nearly 90% of labour where bitching about him and wanted him out of government?

And when he comes back you only back him because you think he will win, have a good term and everyone will forget about ILP being a complete joke of a party that couldn't pick a good CP if they were smacked with one.

You could have picked Moo who has a spotless past but nope, ILP picks a banned cheater, instigator of PTO's on Irish parties, a person who has been proven to care only about himself and doesn't give a toss about Ireland.

😁 deny that go on, ILP trying to get good points picking what they though was a safe bet but you are tools and picked one who has dragged us into a war with the UK (he could have fixed it but chose not to), nearly starts a war with Spain which would have got us wiped. Called everyone in the Dail retards and threatened to PTO my party again.

😁 very safe bet you did there.

Raven, we're allowed to criticise the government.

It's called democracy.

We are allowed BB, but you just said that it wasn't a good thing to do when fighting in a war, and that it makes your country look weak. Go on then and join your buds in making us look weak in the name of "democracy"...

@Marcus: You may have the UK fooled, by giving them screens that only fight your case, but you don't have the rest of congress or myself fooled. The people who voted against the no NE. I guarantee you clowns were behind it. Just like with the NE to Spain, which we have proof thanks to game mechanics or else you all would deny it i'm sure. The fact is that u were butthurt over MUFC getting reelected. He had a good term before. The PTO happens and for revenge you decide to sabotage his next term. It's understandable to an extent, but not when you threaten our entire country, bring us down with you, and try to lay all of the blame on him alone.

No Raven, I said that people generally disapprove of criticising the government when fighting a war.

i.e. that war is itself a political tool to suppress internal dissent.

Elite C tricked me....i was gonna attack his article like i do ever time but now i can't coz he have mufc in it and mufc has been blessed with the wisdom of The Word.....and therefore this article has been blessed by The Word...

Damm you Eite C! Damm you i say!

how the mighty have fallen!

Mighty was just kind to you but you were too stupid to understand that and just accept it.

When will you learn I will accept nothing off you! Weres the fun it that!!

And when will you realise you will get and recieve everything i throw at you...accepting or not.

This was an act of mercy and you still act like spoiled arrogant brat.


There is a nice story in Bible about pearls and pigs..read it.

i accept no mercy. mercy is a sign of weakness and it has no place in my time.

Elite C......does insect accept the mercy or not its not up to him.
I am holding my shue above you and your actions or belifs are irrelevant.

4. Do you plan on running for CP for a second consecutive term?
Yes,..............................................................................................

NO!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![RUNS WITH HEAD INTO WALL CONTINUOUSLY]!!!!NOT ANOTHER MUFSIE TERM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DON'T YOU RATHER LEARN TO COUNT?

"consecutive" calm down RTK...

''The current situation in eIreland, everyone who voice their opinions are either dismissed, silenced, ignored or called whinners. This is no good attitude if we seek a fine democratic discussion within the country.''

Hasn't that always been the situation in eIreland ?

It wasn't under my term.

Except to Viktor. He's the eRepublik equivalent of a crack addict when it comes to political opinion.

comming from someone who tried to frame a referendum, had onlky him and that cryfag to count votes and still failed.

How someone fail such a simple fraud?

And your refusing to show open votes results only porves my words.


You see Boru.....i use facts and logic you use insult attempts...therefore you proved me right.
