Winston Hope Smith running for Country President - Introducing the Team
Winston Hope Smith
Hi Colleagues, Comrades and Citizens
In this my second article I want to set out my team and how I wish to reorganise some of the Departments of Government.
In an Winston Hope Smith administration I want to give some newer players a chance to shine. So, in choosing my team, I have deliberately given a couple of these player their chance. However it is really important that they know what is required. So, as a policy, I have sought to ensure an experienced player is alongside to, in one case to jointly run the Ministry and in other to be an advisor.
Ok the organisation/team is set out like this
Country President Winston Hope Smith & Deputy Country President Bean&teddy
In this game I trust Bean. He is an awesome organiser and is the best PP the ILP had in my time as a member.
In the Ministry of Defence the Mod will be Kurdt Fradenburg who will be returning to eIreland. Kurdt will be announcing his team shortly but be assured it will have that mix of experienced and newer players.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will now incorporate the Ministry of Immigration which I think we all would agree is not working well. Again, because it worked so well last time I have decided on a duo and joey millz and Ethel Rosenberg will be the Ministers. Ethel has shown the ability to think clearly and coolly and joey has that natural ability to “get on” with people so needed at this time.
The Ministry of Finance is very important and we all know the hours Sweet Drinker puts into this to have eIreland in the shape we are in. So like each of the previous recent Country President's I am of the opinion not to fix something when it is not broke.. So Sweet has kindly agreed to continue doing what he does as Minister.
Another Ministry that, in my humble opinion, has not worked is the Ministry of New Citizens. But what has worked is the military side The Boot Camp. So I am proposing to transfer the Non Military side of this Ministry to the Boot Camp team under Irasian as Commander. They will now, hopefully, develop all aspects of a new player getting them up to speed and thereby aiding player retention.
A Ministry that has worked well last time is the Ministry of Community and I have asked, and they agreed, Patrick O'Leary and James Kelliher to say on . So expect more quizzes! I contend we all play this game for fun and enjoy, no matter where we lie on the spectrum of politics etc. in eIreland so this Ministry is part of our efforts to cement the bonds that unite us.
Now the New Citizens Ministry AKA known as Recruitment or Baby Boom has stalled. What I think is missing here is ideas. So in the first week of my Presidency I intend to open a discussion on what we can do. We have a lot of people who arrived on our shores by differing means. What we know is each of those methods worked because we are here. So part of my idea is to list each of those methods so we can utilise each in turn (or together). We also need new ideas. I deliberately left this position vacant to see if someone brings to the table ideas and the drive. If someone shows a natural ability for this role I will appoint them otherwise I will take on this project.
A new Ministry will be the Minister of Silence...I have no idea what this Ministry will do but I am assured that its sole occupant Viktor Kurgan has great plans...yes I’m worried too 🙂
Finally I have asked (and he agreed) moomoohead to advise me as CP on the duties and functions that the CP will have. You see I too will be new, new to the operations of the office of Country President, and so to balance the team I asked Moo onboard. He will not be returning to eIreland.
I ask you to consider giving me and the Team a chance to lead eIreland to a better place...
Until next time

first?
Question: What kind of bear is best?
Minister of Silence? lol
No surprises otherwise
Weak team is mighty weak save for one or two peeps.
As Ethel continues to give her detractors reasons to doubt her sincerity...
False. Black Bear.
Fact: Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
Bears do not… what is going on?!? What are you doing?!? You know what; imitation is the most sincere form of flattery so I thank you.
Identity theft is not a joke, Irasian! Millions of families suffer every year.
I hope you don't win purely based on how weak you are as a president and how weak your cabinet is.
Good luck, Winston.

I love you now Dan Breen and Irasian.
good luck and good team o/
One of the issues with governments in RL and eRepublik is that they can stay in power too long. This results in a lot of jaded decisions and tired governance. I believe the current set of ministers and CP's have been in power too long. Having a break will allow these faithful servants of our country to refresh their batteries, and see things once again as a common citizen.
Time for change.
Time for WHS.
Ouch. I was going to vote for you before I opened the article and saw the picture of that shower of tramps. Still might. Gib golds.
I am curious as to how people judge that WHS is a weak president, he has not been CP before, but he definitely has leading skills as he has been PP on several occassions and brought several positive changes to the ILP, which I believe I could do the same to eIreland.

Actually I agree with this statement and if I don't love Ethel I'd vote for you whs
Good Luck WHS!!
Milk not beer CT, will be a close election, good luck.
I would probably vote for WHS if that prick Malbekh hadn't commented. Oh, wait. Malbekh? Boot Camp? I adore that guy.
DILEMMA!
Looks like a strong cabinet WHS.
Good luck WHS
Good luck WHS
Question?
What will change? And new faces in cabinet of course but what can you do that will really help make Ireland better?
Good team 🙂 You'll do a great work! 🙂
Tbh a pretty weak team with little to no experience. Apart from one or 2
Well thank you IRR......
I would like to show my support for WHS. A true leader knows how to delegate authority. WHS has accomplished this with his choices, pay close attention to him pairing an experienced player with someone gaining experience. A true leader leads and leads by example.
Ethel i applaud you for running an i would vote for you if you weren't running against WHS i wish the best of luck to you as well.
The classic horse and cart scenario. How can one gain presidential or cabinet experience without being a president or a cabinet minister?
Well you could argue Malbekh, a less experienced CP candidate is obligated to compensate with a more experienced cabinet. But I'm not sure that WHS is inexperienced in the first place.
Neither of the candidates have a high profile in international leadership as far as I know. But I'm not really an expert on military matters.
@IRR 1 or 2 experienced members, I could at least 4 or 5
Good luck!
Good luck Winston.
Go back to your places and prepare for government! WHS for CP.
Those who do not vote for Wiston Hope Smith in presidental election likes Justin Bieber.
Goodluck in the elections, lets hope for a tight and fair election 🙂
*count
Goo luck WHS !!!!
