New Parties > Old Parties.

Lads.
I understand many people have a lot of old memories, affiliation, loyalty etc to the old parties of Ireland. myself Included. I miss Labour and the eIrish Republican Party and all my old parties but...
We have been given an opportunity (in my opinion a blessing) to rid ourselves of all the old rivalries and all the things which have held Ireland back over and over again. (inb4jokeaboutmestealingetcetc)
The days of the IUP/IFP rivalry against the Labour were fun but its time to move one. Start-a-fresh..Meet new people who were on opposite sides before and just get to know new was of thinking.
Seriously, I ask, if not beg people to stop living in the past and embrace the future.
We have a chance to completely change this country from what it was, Am I the only one who sees this?
e-kane has already started the step back wards with his spending of 40g on a "new" party. I urge you all who are thinking about recreating those old parties of Ireland to reconsider and invest it in new plans with the government (particularly CelticTigers plan)
Just think about it.
Make a step forward not backwards.
Thank you.

Getting wiped is the best thing to happen to Ireland in a long time.

philosophy of the Orange, heed it wisely...
Ill also be investing my money into Eire's companies through the ERX, I suggest others do the same as you'll make money off of your investments rather than straight donations(also good)
nice article o7
Ireland is a community edging ever closer to a 50th Corrie anniversary episode.
Seriously though for the last four months things have gone from bad to worse, with so many people becoming blood thirsty on getting the last word in a petty debates. We’re a shallow community, so many people are hidden behind a fake image which shields them from immature criticism to which others must endure.
A lot of people seem to have a dose of small eyes and fat asses, maybe if we took all this time wasted on fighting one another and applied it to useful projects we’d get somewhere.
Nobody in this community is perfect.
"Getting wiped is the best thing to happen to Ireland in a long time."
huh?
Don't worry, I'll bring the IFP back soon.
It's an opportunity Sean... out with the old and in with the new. I'm not the only one who agrees. At the end of the day its a game, even losing can be fun if it gives you the chance to start over.
Neo-socialism in eRep(!)
It would be a wishfull article, if the eRep situation has not been so cruel to us. And the bid dilemma for esocialists remain
who can restore a destroyed economy? Free market and "all together"? or
organized state economy?
i dont think our different party-barriers had stopped us from coallition cabinets or we did not speak each other in the IRC...
^ I have no idea what this guy is talking about... literally none.
Mr Ginge, tnx for spending time to comment again this article only for me. my point is simple, even if you try not to see it.
epolitical parties exist for a reason. to propose ways for economical groth.
We had Labour to fight for esocialism and erepublicanism and we had IUP and other that wanted ecapitalism and efree market.
its so, so easy to see...
It would have made so much more sense if you'd said that at the beginning.
It'll take more than flowery language to make people forget your debt.
I was gonna write a comment, but I find I can't be arsed.
Fat eyes and small a**es, anyone?
(weird...hmm)
I agree with Linus Ben. A controlled state economy would bounce back eIreland!
Johnmcf... are you an enemy of progress? All the time, all you do is further the rifts in eIreland.
Also lol @ Johnmcf thinking thats flowery language
an enemy of progess??
Because "progress" is forgetting or writing down debts owed??
Quick, someone go tell NAMA they're agents of progress 😛
@Sean "All the time, all you do is further the rifts in eIreland." I think Ginge was focusing on this part..cool story though, brah
Whatever.
I agree. I actually was very shocked to see IUP recreated.
Thank You Mr President!!
I LOVE JOHN GORMLEY!
I'm all for new parties, but right now there isn't a very good spectrum. It's either to the left, to the right, or the IUP. Oh well, parties aren't as important as companies at this point, and our community is so small that I'm sure parties exist with more members than our country has. With so few people we could almost just do a referendum on everything (but not really).
"It's either to the left, to the right, or the IUP"
Join IUP we get sh*t from both sides!
Correction, IUP collected the shit on both sides and put it into a big pot and stirred it. : P
Good luck Ireland
Sennan I'm with Ginge on this one.
K.I.S.S. Methodology
Look it up.
What Sean said.
As for me furthering rifts, I'm rather proud of not having a goldfish memory, which enables me to remember that you made a half hearted attempt to PTO the IUP, and that OJ owes money. If have a big kiss and make up is your idea of progress without any money being returned, then I'll prefer going backwards.
By flowery language I meant is proclaiming fresh starts and new beginnings. Kind of funny that the person with one of the biggest debts is in favour of fresh starts, eh Claudius?
wot johnmcf said
I agree with everything CT said above, Johnmcf maybe OJ meant Ireland needs a new start and if you dont agree with that then your mad cause its clear for everyone to see Ireland needs to get crap sorted out.
Did OJ slip something into your tea Marcus? What John is saying is that Ireland does need a new start... but that this bs is a false start devoid of substance.
"Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken." (:
I'm just annoyyed, because I don't know where to turn to now!
John, I can't believe you are still being so naive. I've said it several times before, and I think it was pretty obvious when I switched party to IV the next day that I never intended to win in IUP.
-.-
Please don't suggest that I wanted to be PP of IUP again, you've been told for the last time.
I am fully aware that OJ owes money, and so if he. If you can get it into your head that he is talking about Irish politics and not his debt when he says "fresh start" then maybe you can start to get on with some other whining.
@ Sean Power, please elaborate and explain how your idea of a fresh start is different from OJ's, if you can't do this, then please settle down and stop scapegoating.
