[ILP] Congress Candidates

Day 1,951, 08:48 • Published in Ireland Ireland

...................................

Tomorrow sees the next Congress elections and the first since the unfortunate events of last month. Up until a couple of days ago, there was significant doubt about whether we would actually have a Congress this month with the British invasion and, if we managed it, would it be a full Congress of 40. Well, thanks to some fierce fighting and an excellent Friday where we took back Dublin and held Shannon, that's not a worry. Congratulations to all those who fought to defend the country, both Irish and non-Irish.

This has been my first month as PP and the ordering of the list has been a tough one with many candidates who I believe would be a credit to the party and to Congress. The final list is given below and I can only apologise for anyone towards the bottom of the list. I used a formula based on experience, activity, reliability, with a bonus for young players and there was little to split several candidates. Let's hope we get a bumper vote to give as many as possible a chance.

With no original ILP members last month, I've not been party to the Congress threads, but I believe things have been, shall we say, sprightly? For a long time, ILP Congress members have done their job efficiently and to the best of their abilities and I expect no change to that from the successful candidates this month and hope that we can report on a calmer month there this time.

It seems to have become customary in these articles to urge future Congress members to donate their 5 gold to the Treasury. I've never announced that in past campaigns as I see it as an attempt to influence voters and I would always leave it up to the conscience of the individual member. I do, however, have confidence in whoever the voters choose from our party to do the right thing.

bring a bit of sanity and no trolls and I'd be a happy camper

So you mean happily sit by and watch our CP force us into a MPP group that has literally no benefit to us?

Even the CP of Urugay said it might not ever be an alliance "Matafuego to Marcus Suridius | 1 hours ago - The idea of alliance is still in the air, but again, we're taking it step by step."

No, bring reasoned discourse, present your own ideas, don't troll anything and anyone, and if you don't get what you personally want, live with the idea of democracy and majority rule. That is what I want to see in a congress member. Not to be a patsy or a pushover, intelligence and desire for a strong eIreland, but to stop just disrupting things because they feel like it, or didn't get what they desire.

I see some folks saying the referendum wasn't right. I'd ask them to post an article proposing what they feel is a fair referendum so people can look at their version, and, if it's supported, to have that put to the people. If it's not supported, then we go back to the will of the majority, not sabotaging the political process.
