Citizens of the Republic!
In light of various developments in recent weeks, particularly the wargames problems and the stagnation of activity generally, the Labour Party has been formed to provide an alternative to the established way.
At home, we believe in universal healthcare for all regions, increased consultation with the people, more people becoming active on the IRC, more use of the chatroom function, and the establishment of workers' companies. These companies will place all profits directly in the hands of the workers that created the products, according to their productivity, each week.
Abroad, we believe that Ireland should finally take its place among the countries of the world, in matters of utmost of international importance. To this end, if placed in power, an immediate MPP with the United States of America would be the immediate foreign affairs objective of the party, after which, the exact extent of Irish involvement in international affairs beyond that can be established safely.
If you want to see a strong, involved Ireland at home and abroad, I urge you to support Labour in its efforts.
Brian Boru,
Party President of the Labour Party.

Nice. Best of luck.
Nice idea. I hope it goes well for you.
Good luck 😃
> and the establishment of workers' companies. These companies will place all profits directly in the hands of the workers that created the products, according to their productivity, each week.
What about losses? Will they be taken directly off the hands? 🙂 Upgrade costs? Off the hands again? 🙂
"What about losses? Will they be taken directly off the hands? 🙂 Upgrade costs? Off the hands again? 🙂"
We have a fund in place to cover such expenses.
It's a bit short best of luck nonetheless
I presume Worker's Companies would be State Run like the communes in the UK
Universal Healthcare = q5's everywhere
No, we already have the companies, we intend to run them ourselves for the moment.
We do not wish to destroy the "normal" companies via the political process, we hope to show that workers' companies can work in Ireland.
The state cannot place resources into that sort of scheme without it being demonstrated to work in Ireland anyway, and an unsympathetic government could destroy such a scheme far too easily.
In short, we are libertarian socialists.
There are more articles on the way to go into depth in each of our policy areas.
Good Luck Boru.
You have some sense, this much I know 😉
good luck but I have my doubts about farcis/labour party..
"good luck but I have my doubts about farcis/labour party.."
PM me and I'll put those doubts to rest if I can.
And stop believing in universal healthcare for all regions, please 🙂
There is no need to have q5 hospitals everywhere. It's just a waste of money.
ALL GLORY TO MOTHERLAND, ALL HAIL NEW SOVIET REGIME
"And stop believing in universal healthcare for all regions, please 🙂 There is no need to have q5 hospitals everywhere. It's just a waste of money."
That is a silly view.
Say our Q5 region is attacked and taken, what then?
To maximise our military capacity, every region must have a Q5.
@Jojegz- You work for Irish State Hospitals. Not much of a company man, eh?
> Say our Q5 region is attacked and taken, what then?
Then our shiny Q5 hospital will be destroyed by evils invaders 🙂
Free us of our capitalist overlords
BB.... always looking to encourage input and listen to new ideas... ermmm 🙂
MPP with us
😁no
Good luck, comrade Brian.
Good luck!
Good luck 🙂
"Particularly the wargames problems"
Currently being sorted. Keep up with the times.
'in universal healthcare for all regions'
Already being done.
'Increased consultation with the people'
How?
'more people becoming active on the IRC, more use of the chatroom function'
Which? And everyone has said this since the dawn of time, what shall you do to make it happen? If you have an idea, why not put it into practice immediately, as you once said to Darragh? No time like the present.
'the establishment of workers' companies'
'we intend to run them ourselves for the moment'
Why didn't it work before?
'To this end, if placed in power, an immediate MPP with the United States of America would be the immediate foreign affairs objective'
MPP with the USA to what end? The only battles we would get would be if the UK happen to attack it, we would be embargoed against the UK, and other nations if the USA attacks an original UK region, not to mention it would pretty much mean we could only have positive diplomatic relations with Eden nations. Whereas Sol training battles will be every 48 hours, and IDF deployments will be bi-monthly for each division, and more for the higher ranking divisions.
Where does the fund for company upgrades come from? Seems communist party would be more appropriate btw. I would also be wary of the USA.
GL with this endevour.
I like the foreign affairs policy.
At least someone 🙂
Good luck Brian
Solidarity from the eUK and PCP comrades. o/
Death to the communists! The Red Scare is coming!
Interested to see how this pans out. GL Brian.
"Currently being sorted. Keep up with the times."
There shouldn't have been problems if you had any foresight.
"Already being done."
Very, very slowly.
"How?"
More use of polling.
"Which? And everyone has said this since the dawn of time, what shall you do to make it happen? If you have an idea, why not put it into practice immediately, as you once said to Darragh? No time like the present."
I always encourage more use of the IRC, I was the first to post an IRC Mibbit Guide. I'm now using the party to promote its use.
"Why didn't it work before?"
They have worked before.
"MPP with the USA to what end? The only battles we would get would be if the UK happen to attack it, we would be embargoed against the UK, and other nations if the USA attacks an original UK region, not to mention it would pretty much mean we could only have positive diplomatic relations with Eden nations. Whereas Sol training battles will be every 48 hours, and IDF deployments will be bi-monthly for each division, and more for the higher ranking divisions."
The amount of war we would engage in would offset the economic effects of embargoes considerably. I must point out that training battles are extremely boring.
As pointed out, the only war you'd receive would be UK's battles against the USA. Not as regular, and also giving us an open war with a Phoenix nation. Go figure.
good luck with it 🙂
