This article will be about my views on our new president 5n4keyes and his IFP party. .
First I am going to go over IFP "s manifesto and pick out some issues. After each issue I will compare it with my views
1. Proposes a minimum wage of 1 IEP.
I am concerned about the rights of workers. However, since the Irish job market has been historically competitive a minimum wage is not really necessary. I will not push for a minimum wage but will not fight it either.
2. Q2 Houses and over 80 % wellness for each citizen
As of now its not practical for the entire Irish population to have Q2 houses. There are 534 people in Ireland. Lets say half of the Irish people dont have houses and the avg price of a Q2 Home is 200 IEP. So that is 215 * 200 = 43,000 IEP. Now this is only assuming half the population does not already have Q2 houses. Also it might be a cheaper if we order such a big load. The bottom line however, is that is way too exspensive and 5n4keyes would have to raise taxes significantly or print extra IEP to do that. That being said his second part goal of 80 % wellness is easily achievable and I support any gift program he puts forth.
3. Invest in Raw Material Companies
I agree with this all the way. Ireland needs to have its raw materials in order to thrive. I myself in the private sector have already made moves to accomplish this. Dugonia Industries, Pure Group, and ISG are all very focused on getting Ireland its materials for production.
4. Making Sure Every Party No Matter How Small Is Represented in Congress
I am not sure how you will do this but my personal view is if you dont have enough people to get 1 seat in congress then your not active enough to need representation.
These were some of his basic points that I saw in his manifesto which can be viewed at http://www.eve-destiny.net/IFPPresident.pdf. I encourage everybody to read it an addition to reading this article. If you like this article please subscribe, vote and comment

1. I think almost every party said they would set the wage at 1IEP. Most business in eIreland have a wage structure of around 1IEP per level anyhows, so there wont be a major change to the way things work, however having it above 0 and set to 1IEP, it makes it alot easier to see who is using multis 😉
2. I personally sell houses on the open market at 150IEP at Q2, others are around this too, with the morgage scheme houses are cheaper, and as per agreement as mayor of limerick ive helped alot of people get houses at cost. Everyone in houses isnt an overnight goal, its a long term goal, and something that needs to happen, houses in times of war are very useful to build up wellness faster, also if you have say a Q2 house, you can work for a Q3 company, and only have to buy Q1 food, making cost of living alot cheaper. Gifts are more of a short term solution, and its something that costs more long term.
3. Many people have different ideas on raw materials, and how they will work, i personally want to have all bases covered, ide rather have too much raw material in eIreland, than too little.
4. Everyone deserves a voice, with v1 theres a new system for congress, aswell as neededing points to put yourself forward, obviously to get the points you have to of been active, and yes i want to see every party help and play a part in the running and improvement of eIreland.
Mr. President how to you propose raising the funds for over 200 houses ? I know it is long term and I am not sure how taxes are currently being taken in per month. Do we make enough to pay for this ? Or will taxes be raised ?
I beleive at the moment, we produce around 10 Houses per week between all our companys here in eIreland. Alot of houses people just naturally buy without any need from government.
The morgage company has worked really well and i would like to help them continue this.
Not all 200 people are going to want houses, theres no way that many people active, but those who want houses should be able to get them.
As this is long term, were talking 3 months plus, the taxes over that time, aswell as people being paid over that period are more than enough to cover costs.
Remember Patton you a few months back were one of the key leaders in getting everyone into houses, by offering them very very cheap, this can still be done! and will be done to help improve our citizens.
@5n4keyes, no one talked about a minimum wage but you if I remember.
We said that we would publish guideline wages in each sector, we never gave a figure as we had not yet fully analysed the industries.
Ireland First had minimum wage in their Manifesto I believe Igor.
@Igor, we have spoken many times about v1 and how the changes will effect the game, also Uni adopted the 1IEP per level standard a while ago when i assisted in making the uni a little better run.
You are involved in the uni?
Why was I not informed of this?
I think that Eirecorp Food will likely be returning to the Eirecorp SO
im not part of the uni, i was offered but refused, insted offered alot of advice
5n4keyes I think you misunderstood my point. I do want everyone to get houses and I think it is really important. I just wanted to know if it was logistically and financially possible. Does anybody know how much the government rakes in a month ?
I believe IUP when it was under me was the first party to promote the new wage guideline
@patton - to be honest ive never really monitored the cash coming into eIreland, so couldnt really tell you, to be honest and ex president would be of much better knowledge on finance maybe? or maybe not...
Financially possible, yes, ive given away houses extreamly cheap before, you have done the same, you know the maths on the cost to build a house.
This is a long term goal, something thats been my personal goal since i first made my housing company! its something ive put alot of work, cash and effort into.
I do however feel that a house is money better spent than gifts, a house can be made for around the 90IEP mark, thats around 90 Q2 gifts. which is around 180 Wellness. Now, when your getting 2 wellness per day from a Q2 house, note we have Q3 companys, your able to keep your wellness maxed very easily, infact, even if your wellness is at 1%, buying Q4 food to rapidly boost your wellness, and having a Q2 house, plus gifts its so much cheaper than supplying gifts on a week by week basis!
But as ive said, this isnt an overnight thing, its not something thats ever going to be 100% accheived either, eIreland will grow, some will decide not to buy houses, some will go overseas for much cheaper housing, the point of the plan is to give the Irish an option!
The Q2 house is a great idea, it helped me a lot when i just started the game, my Q2 house was free too.
The Uni will be willing to help the President on his housing ventures along with any mortgage companies.
Well its looks a like plan is shaping up. If you can get it to work Mr. President then you have my support
