A Democratic Presidential Race
•
by Cat Boyd
Hello eIrish friends! I come to you with urgent news. It has been my observation that there is only one Country President candidate besides me running, what does that make me; the opposition. I think opposition is a healthy requirement for any democracy and although tempting it is to endorse Elite C, who has proven himself many times before, I cannot simply let this be a one-candidate race. Please listen to my ideas and I will be concise.

If elected I will try to introduce more community games as well as find options outside the game so we can all interact together. The new year is 2016 and let this year be one of eIrish unity, not division and in-fighting, as it has been for years!
Another initiative would be to nationalize the eIrish University - thus making it an official institution within our national government! In the University we can hold debates, share research, and create a dialogue between government and private citizens. We can also perhaps get a dedicated segment of University happenings/debates/topics on the weekly Community articles! Don't forget to check out the University!
Lastly, I would like to revive the Great Democratic Experiment that revolutionary leader MikeBane once attempted years ago! From what I've read and studied about the experiment is that it goes essentially like this: There is one Executive Committee Member (the "Country President") and 4 other Committee Members. To reduce bureaucracy I'm suggesting we cut that down to 2 other Committee Members from the top 3 political parties. Assuming the Executive Committee Member is from a top 3 party, that means the other 2 would be the 2nd & 3rd largest/most influential parties. Although in the future figuring out an efficient proportional representation system within the Committee would be ideal for the maximization of democracy, that is a task we will pursue in later months.
Vote for me as Country President - for democracy and equality, let's kick off 2016 with a healthy dose of Banism!
Banism is a new force in politics, one that will reshape the eIrish political arena. You can become a Banist too! Click on the link to join The Revolutionary Banist Party! Join the REVOLUTION!
Sincerely,

Good Luck!!
Only thing I will say is the University forums were abandoned due to some people being unable to access them for whatever reason. It caused more problems that it solved. So I don't think its something you should pursue. Having some kind of information for new citizens is good but it needs to be done one step at a time not all at once as this would do. A retention plan for new players is desperately required and we are working on that atm.
Good luck!
new players staying mmm i cannot see anyone replaying this game. time it takes to reach even moderate goals is too immense for most. as well as baby booms should start from erep in conjunction with countries.good to have goals though. im not certain you will do good this elections but dont get disheartened i think it will be mostly due to the low amount of time you are in this game.
Thank you RTK 🙂
hail democracy
No offence but Ireland has had enough of Mike bane and his alias over the years, we don't need to return to those dark times again.
He created the ILP which is the biggest party in eIreland, he created the eUniversity and formulated the ideology of Banism, and from what I have heard and looked into he was frequently targeted by groups so I am not surprised to hear negative comments about him. Idk if he quarreled with you, but whatever you may think of the man, I only admire his ideology and what he set to accomplish.
So beyond that, let's work together to build our community and make eIreland strong!
Well Mike I don't think there's much point in talking any more is there!! Games up.

good luck
