LETS TALK POLITIC
•
by Fitzgerald.13
A few hour ago i’ve read an article. Because of it i wrote this article. Yes, i’m just a new citizen in eIreland, i'm come from eIndonesia. But let me speak freely with my article. As Comrade Lenin said “ Everyone is free to write and say whatever he likes, without any restrictions. But every voluntary association (including the party) is also free to expel members who use the name of the party to advocate anti-party views. Freedom of speech and the press must be complete. But then freedom of association must be complete too.”
Now, we go to the main topic “the partisan opposition”. My first question is “ Whether democracy prevails in eIreland? ”. If the answer is yes, So the opposition must be exist. One of the components in the state of democracy which distinguishes them with the non democracy is existence of opposition elements. Because opposition could become counterbalance and controller for the goverment works in the state. So that government and the state can be prevented to not fall into abuse of power. Therefore, the opposition is one of the essential elements to build strong democracies country.
Opposition should not need to worry and then to be afraid to accept his presence. Instead, the strength of the opposition to keep implementation of the democracies goes well and democratic. The opposition can generally be understood as groups of forces that want to control and correct a Government policy which is considered mistaken or wrong. There are also some who interpret it as a power merely opposed to any policy measures from the goverment, without considering whether such policies are still in an authority or abuse of power. Whatever understanding of the opposition, Opposition is one of the actual form of dissent in the community in the process of national and state. Then the problem is, can we as a nation to manage a difference of this oppinion? Either between individuals, between community, between citizen and goverment, And more specifically between the opposition and the ruling.
Willingness to correct and critics, willingness to be corrected and criticized, and willingness to different opinion this is as a key opening for entering the gate of democracy. That is why the existence of opposition is important for democracy and every democracy must have opposition, Though not all opposition capable of enforcing democracy. But without opposition, This democracy was threatened or actually will died because of rulers should be controlled in a democracy. The Goverment cannot be allowed to work its own because power tends to deviate. Those who are in power could be trapped in abuse of power. So it must be supervised and controlled by existance groups of the opposition.
Opposition means do the political supervision over political power that can be wrong and be true. When goverment make a mistake, the opposition functioning is to tell the public about that mistake and build opposition and resistance to it. Otherwise, When goverment perform them function properly, The opposition must build awareness and action of the public to ask for the continuance and the consistency of the practice of the truth.
So, does the opposition still be a problem for you? Until you should complain and so emotionally because of they existence.

very nice opening article here fitz. 😛
Yeah those who would currently fall into the "ruling" group here in Ireland definitely fear/despise opposition at any level. It's an Ireland in their image or no Ireland at all. Some have even left Ireland in butthurt to fight against us when they've lost in political races.
I doubt they will see opposition as a key element needed in democracy however but at least I appreciate the time put into the article. It's even in some ways opened my mind up already. xD You should write more often. We need more of this.
thanks comrade
Alternatives should be embraced, opposition should be eliminated.
If you provide constant opposition, but rarely ever provide viable alternatives, then you're not "voicing opposition" you're just making noise.
I am happy that opposition does exist, I am just not happy because they arent really the opposition, they does not produce constructive criticism. What Irish opposition does is simply giving their best to stop everything which sounds like a progress.
Thats not the opposition because opposition wouldnt harm its own country in any way.
IFP = No Government members, constructive opposition, still encourages and support good things and try to fix the bad ones.
ILP = No Government members, partisan opposition, never supports things, never offers its own solutions.
constructive criticism is just a word one use to not get beaten up if you tear somebody a new one. usually followed by what an a*
we consider ourselves very weak if we say criticism can destroy us?[krakken 2 feb 2015]
Each opposition have their own way to opposed the ruler, a freedom of speech, a freedom to do political in any way. There is no law in this game talk about an opposition must be constructive cricticism, so although you've said we are not constructive criticism its still legal and still an opposition for this game. Its a democracy, but if you didn't like a democracy you can join ILP and build a communism state because communist state not recognize democracy, there's no opposition in a communist state 🙂
Opposition is good, but it must be willing to compromise.
Obstruction, on the other hand, is merely in the way: irrationally contrary and adamantly uncompromising.
No one will ever talk a brick wall into moving--break it down and clear the rubble away, circumvent it by any means, but never make it move itself.
but it must be willing to compromise?? come on bro if the opposition can make a compromise, thats must we called a coalition partisan not opposition partisan.
My experience has been that no one enjoys the opposition when they're in power - and everyone will tend toward thinking that the opposition is being an obstruction then. That's been my experience working closely with governments of all the major parties here in eIreland - and even from my memory of my own time as Cp in retrospect.
To be honest I think the role of the opposition is over estimated both in real life an in eRepublik. The principle of it is important to democracy, but in practice I don't think it makes any difference. The failure of the opposition is the greatest failure of democracy, in that an opposition is only valuable if its position is coherent - which is too rarely the case. Everyone makes an equally poor opposition, so the question is - who does the best job in power? It's never a party - it's always a person.
made you not run for cp. as proven by your wiki page.
Very well written article, fresh political material and thought.
eRepublik, not eDemocracy
Voted and welcome to eIreland
eIreland is full of opposition for the sake of opposition with very little alternative solutions presented. The culture of "I'm not in charge so therefore I am oppressed" is on loop. Nice article.
I think that culture always happen in each country with multi party. Thats why we called it an opposition not coalition. 🙂
Democracy as a concept is of course the best way to govern a country, but democracy in reality is flawed. One of the problems is visible in your article. Yes, of course opposition is a good element in every democracy because it constraints those who are in power from using their power for ill causes. But, as we can see in many RL countries, opposition exists just for the sake of opposition aka just to harm/talk shit/frame those in power for the sake of their own political gains. So this concept is a flawed one, and it is really a double edged sword
I da ne znam odkud si, sad bi znao...
Zbog predzadnje recenice, jel ? 😛
Aye!
everythings is flawed in reality mate, including politic, no one perfect in each politic system. And remember what the politic is, there is no everlasting friend or opponent in politic, there is only self interest.
I wouldn't say only self interest. True, it pretty much prevails in many many countries, but there are some good, honest politicians (as weird as it sounds) who work for the good of the country, rather than their own self interest, but they are often shunned by those in power (whether it is in power in a country, or their oen political party). In the end, if you're really idealistic, you could use Smith's invisible hand theory here which claims that, in economy, people working for their own betterment ultimately leads to achieving good for the collective society. Unfortunately, that can hardly be used in politics
Thats still a self interest in generally. A men must have their self interest before goin political. When he being a politician, he is already do his self interest. I prefer materialism theory than adam smith.
