The Mayo Agreement...My Opinion
Winston Hope Smith
OK
First of this is not an article giving an opinion on whether the deal is a good one or not.
My beef is it has been foisted on the population by the Government (whether well meaning or not) without warning without consultation.
Some important steps were missed,
It is tradition in this eCountry that decisions of this magnatude are given to the people to ratify and not just rubber stamped by the Government and/or Congress.
Can we have a vote please?
Your's etc.

I can understand why you feel that way. It seems like a major decision because it is an open ended agreement. But the treaty is meant to be re-evaluated each term, So its not major in the way joining an alliance is.
It was handled in this manner due to military expediency:
The Macs come from a.. volatile.. area of the globe, they don't have much luxury to mull things over.
For Macedonia: they were here, they needed to know how to play it, quickly.
For Irelan😛 its a big shindig getting here. If the government didn't say yes quickly, there would be no chance to mull it over.
Have you sat down and thought about the implications of this situation?
Ireland has become a popular AS target lately, Atm we have a sentinel x4 our size inside our territory. Hard soldiers too man. They'd likely cause more enemy attacks simply by being here also. And we'd duo-fight those attacks. And it'd attract alliance prios. Making this whole thing really interesting.
And we don't need a vote to know that what everybody wants is for this to be interesting...
The option for the Government to accept the plan subject to ratification by the people was the correct option here.
Here is the list of options that were available to our government:
a)Tell Macs NOW they can stay till next election
b)Watch Macs leave as they focus on their core regions.
There was no option C. You can't just name options into existence Winston.
Sometime options sound more like ultimatums and threats. If what you say is true then agreements under duress carry no validity and this country is not bound by them.
You're correct that the government is under duress.
Moldova AS, China AS attempt, China AS again.
There's a pattern we should put a stop to.
Our government wasn't asked by eMac to rent a region. Our government offered to loan them a region, on the moment, as a tactical military decision that bought us a strong extra front in any invasion scenario played out against eIreland.
If you had any points to make against the actual operation, I believe we'd have heard them by now. Will you make any rebuttals that aren't circular?
But
Whether I agree with the ends is not relevant.
It is the means I have problems with.
Also I was referring to the agreement under duress to rent the region...the duress been that the eMac would not give us time to consider the deal. But you knew that didn't you 😛
The fact the government offered to rent the region is fine abut they had no mandate to make any such offer final without the agreement of the people,,
This government is mandated at the national and alliance level (Don is HQ). This government and our alliance membership were both democratically selected.
This was an alliance-level tactical military decision.
It's Congress that isn't mandated to handled decisions of this nature, not the CP.
Also, you may have all the time in the world on your hands to fap about. But eMacedonia's don't have that luxury. Every decision they make is under duress. But you knew that's what I was referring to didn't you 😛
Yes I did, at least I admit it
The decision could of been made subject to ratification...that's all I ask.
It is the Government, and mainly you , an executive councilman 😃, with is ratcheting this up into a major issue.
Get the mandate and everyone is happy..
Hey bro, you wrote this epitaph, I'm just collecting signatures.
Voted!! This guy should be PRESIDENT!
If we've discussed it much we'd come to the same solution..
But, yeah, understand you and why you feel like this, you need to understand that some decisions needs to be made as soon as possible, while there's plenty of time for some others.
You cannot assume the outcome of discussions and votes
I can predict we would lose valuable time to discuss should we help our allies or not, if there was no our agreement Canada and Macedonia would hardly reach theirs.
Sometimes, you just speak to recieve more votes on the next elections, most of the time you have your party's and group interests over the Irish...
Im not saying you shouldn't feel some group as your "eFamily" ; but stop putting it above the Ireland. Hell, I've made tons of articles about CrOmega, IPP, EA, Belfast Brigade, ICA....and I've never EVER made anyone from my group does something to harm Ireland, all the lads in CrOmega (as the latest) example knows that Ireland is above all..
If the Irish opposition start caring about Ireland as much as they care about there own parties we'd have strong and united Ireland, then, maybe, I'd like to hear congress's opinion 🙂
get a life
Some kind of Dail discussion would have been nice, especially as there wasn't any desperate urgency for a couple of days with them here already. The likelihood would have been an agreement anyway, but at least the pros and cons could have been discussed, as well as any concerns raised.
Some kind of Dail discussion...The likelihood would have been an agreement anyway...
So you complain you and your ILP leadership had lost an oportunity to pretend to be a party that matters?
You bendover before Orcs remember?
You, with Raven leading, openly sided with thier crimes against ireland including their thefts of irish vault and you agreed to all of their previous sellings of irish lands..like a good servants...
Read your own words againt Liam....discussion you talk about with parties like ILP is irrelevant and simple lost of time since you have no courage to stand any moral ground against orcs so you can have your congress seats and your PTO ILP party president..

Governments should govern...My opinion.
Meanwhile in a parallel universe, President WHS gives us all a week to tear chunks out of each other over the Rental Referendum, while the Macedonians get fed up and go home, the Chinese are still here and a newly appointed Deputy Assistant Administrative Grand Wizard at the Risk Department of the Irish Central Bank disappears with all the money.
So it would be the same shit with irish finances?
I mean Nogin "lost" 2.5 million cc on her first day as MoF.
As for macedonians...are we allies or what?
If they had no region left i could understand but they have regions so basically Ireland is in alliance where on one gives a shit about ireland unless ireland pays for assistance...
Nailed it Keiller!
this article was badly in need of a Keillerism just in case anyone missed how much of a dumbass the author is.
WHS you and the rest of your ILP leadership decided to follow Raven Anarcho and openly sided with this Orcs and their crimes against ireland.
you from ILP leadership support their constant theft of irish vault, support their constant degradation of irish honor like with coward attack on innocent people of Saudi Arabia, and you have supported all of their sellings of irish lands to a higher bidder...
So why this bitching WHS since we all know ILP leadeship would and will obey in the end to any decision made by this Orcs.
Raven Anarcho turned ILP from true independent party into an Orc slave pit..and you just like the rest of ILP leadership agreed so you can have some extra congress seats and some minor government positions.
So stop acting high moral ground WHS and keep your mouth shut like a good orc servant...
Thanks for your contribution Viktor. While I might not agree with every point you make be assured I do read them all. I appreciate you taking to time to comment.
Every point of mine is a fact so you agreeing or not is irrelevant coz facts will keep staying as a fact.
Once ILP had honor and integrity...now you just obey your orc masters and from time to time try to act like you still have right to make any political decisions even you rejected that right when you sided with Orc crimes...
As I said...I appreciate you taking to time to comment.
No worries...many more will come..
^That was an honest statement Viktor... did your head explode? 😛
Yeah.. about that i still wait after all this months any of you Orcs state one lie i said here....
So far all my words you Orcs proved to be truth...
You Sweet had countless chances to prove me wrong with one little finance report fro your time as mof.
And yet years are passing and you still fail to prove me wrong coz you know that report would only confirmed you stole more irish money then sawc and nogin together...
If so my head would explode on daily basis since i am always honest in my statement.
Clerics are the only and last pillar of truth and integrity of Ireland that still stands.....

Sorry WHS but sometimes decisions got to be made quickly and done fast. Congress was indeed informed but did not respond in a timely manner so we can only assume that they are ok with it.
The decision could of been made in principle then subject to ratification
Congress were informed in advance that a deal would be struck with Macedonia over regions. There was little if no objection.
The Treaty of Mayo was made public for everyone to see, little to no objection.
Congress have still not commented surrounding this Treaty.
No point wasting time over this debate when it really has the full support of the Irish nation, something this government was sure of.
Understand your concern but we had a situation and we sorted it. If congress rejects this decision let them voice their opinion and we will vote on it.
I know you feel you can speak at will for the population without consultation it that's is part of your character flaw.
But you cannot just say that and make it so.
You must test the mandate by a vote.
My food production is only 6/7 of what it used to be (mayo no longer Irish). Will I be getting compensation for that, or will I just have to put up with the losses?
Seriously? Would you prefer being wiped? But OK if it is the will of the people it shall be done. Organize a Referendum and vote in this to.
[removed]
congress was informed but no votes were made. in fact we all discovered this treaty witht he article.
but (1) : regarding the laws of erepublic this kind of treaty is outside the dail mechanic. the government does not need a vote to make this type of agreement.
but (2) : rent/allow/give an irish region even to an ally (last example usa) was always a matter of argument and a NO for the majority of irish player.
Personally i am not sure if a dail vote or referendum would be yes or no. So government chose, we'll see.
Irish congress is dead !
no one really care about what's written in dail messages or what's opinion of congress.
Congressman's are good just to aprove cs to some sucpicious guys because someone said that they are good guys !?
Dail has been treated as a rubber stamp for government decisions, possibly why a lot of members don't bother responding.
Well Raven in the name of ILP declared itself as a rubber stamp for the ORcs and ILP leadership approved it....
It was ILP that declared legally elected ILP congressman KRakken as a PTOer and along with Seanan kept illegally him out of Dail mass mail.
For how many months you use Orc's PTO votes to elect PP of ILP?
ILP had a chance to save IReland from corruption but you guys cared more about your congress seats so you can fake importance...
Dear eMacedonians,
You may not be familiar with this kind of political chicanery. This article has been posted by the author
http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/1877776
as the foundation for an intended operation by his party
http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/1877776
using their MU
http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/group-show/702
to undermine this agreement, regardless of its merit, for the sole lowly purpose of playing opposition politics. Your Dec-Jan sovereignty is just a toy of no relevance to these politicos, to be sacrificed if it will undermine the presiding government in any way. Expect to see their faces, and those of similarly self-absorbed players, on the opposing side of any RW's you face here. They may infact launch them.
They do not represent us,
Sweet Drinker
(Executive Councilman, eIreland)
Dear Sweet
to quote iBhoy
"Get a life"
Dear eMacedonians
Yes a political discussion is now underway. Unfortunately it should of been done prior to you getting a final agreement from our Government. This is out fault not your. Our dysfunction is not your problem. (except that our Government is claiming you bullied them into an early decision...something that, if true, would worry me)
Also be assured I do not call for or would I support a RW in Mayo without first briefing you fully and getting the eIrish people's agreement. (not that my call either way would have a dramatic effect either way)
Also be advised contrary to Sweet's assertion this is not an article of my Party...if it was it would of had the title prefixed by [ILP PP] and the party banner in it.
Nor by my MU as I hold no rank other than solider as as such cannot speak for my MU.
No it is entirely a personal article but one that seems to resonate with a portion ( I don't know the size) of our population.
Cheers
whs
and now we have that in writing 😁
What...that would not be supporting an RW? Where did I say I would?
That is not a Party Article? You very well know the format Party Articles are in.
My MU? My rank is solider and can't and never have attempted to break this chain of command.
Or is it that our Government made a dysfunctional, rushed decision?
Or that our Government are accusing our allies of bulling them into a rushed decision?
I am interested in what you are referring to..
So your going to pretend that the sequence I laid out above isn't precisely the strategy employed by the ILP on previous occasions?
Sweet I think you are mixing up Labour Parties, may I suggest you look closer to home.
lol "In my opinion" I really think it's a bit... odd that someone would accuse this as a party or MU article. That accusation in itself is core in knt politics, an underhanded political jab to try and isolate a rival group from international relations. Nice try though.
Unlikely Winston, you should know by now I never forget.
