Country President candidates about the NAP

Day 2,081, 03:28 Published in Ireland Ireland by Achab Collins

Today we question the four candidates to the highest seat in our institution, the Country President's seat. The four canidates are:

-Sw33t Drinker, member of Labour Patriots. His candidacy is supported by Irish Freedom Party, Society of United Irishmen and the special commitee "Kurgan has no Balls". If elected, it would be his third consecutive term as a CP;
-Releasethe Kraken, from Saoirse Rogha Eire;
-T.E. Lawrence, party president of Irish Republican Army;
-EmperorPalpatine, president of Indipendent Labour Party, who already held the office of CP once.

We asked them few question about the Anglo-Irish Non Aggression Pact and the scenarios that can arise in the future, a matter of big concern that is a central issue in eIrish politcs and a central point of candidates propaganda for this Election.
Let see how they answered our questions.


Q.Lawrence, what is your opinion about the current NAP?
A.I believe it is a necessary means for us to hold a congress. It should only be upheld until we might be able to win back regions or come to complete peace with the UK. I’ll be declaring war to the eUK only under the right circumstances. Not at this point in time or in the foreseeable future, though.


Q.Releasethe Kraken, which are your intentions about the Anglo-Irish Treaty if you will be appointed by Irishmen as their President?
A.I’m going to issue an official statement about this topic in short. If I where CP I would try a training War with other regions of brittian and perhaps one of our regions. Say Mayo, Scotland and Northern Ireland. With the new DO change the armies of big nations will have to much activity and will look for smaller national skirmishes.


Q.EmperorPalpatine, let’s speak about future scenarios. The NAP is going to expire in about a month (due date is 4th of September). Will you, if elected, sign an extension of this pact?
A.I view the NAP as a necessary breath of fresh air. We are not wiped, our bonds with eUK will continue to grow as long as both nations keep their word, and it allows us to focus on helping our friends and focus on the eIrish community and government health.
I would do my best to extend the treaty and even perhaps try to gain another territory if it is at all possible. Obviously we want a wall to block any potential invaders, but gaining a region or two would be much appreciated.


Q.Sw33t Drinker, now. The man who gave us the Treaty. You have already shown to the people your opinions about the NAP by promoting, signing and enforcing it. Would you still sign that pact, nowadays?
A.The current incarnation of the NAP is the stepping stones from wiped to full sovereignty. The end goal is a 'white peace' agreement with Britain. I'm hoping to alter the conditions of the NAP if the situation permits. Essentially, I intend to extend the peace agreement with Britain. There is potential to make alterations to the agreement, though.

Q.Have you ever considered to declare war to our neighbors?
A.'Declaring War' would cost us 219g. I don't imagine anybody will be pressing the 'waste small fortune' button anytime soon!


During the interview all the candidates stated to believe that UK will honour the pact.
In the ending, we asked our candidates how would they act in case a fight-to-win Resistance War would be started by the Commander of a single Military Unit.
Releasethe Kraken told us that “lets just keep unsanctioned resistance wars in the dark.” He then added the consideration that “only 10 citizens are needed. do not have to be a MU commander ”.
Sw33t Drinker has been rather clear, stating that “A nation who doesn't honour agreements they've made has no future in this game. Not only will I not support an illegal attempt to break our word, I will actively deploy against such attempts. This has already occurred.”
EmperorPalpatine said he would not uphold such an action because “It would be a waste of CC, possibly endanger the whole nation (for the sake of gaining one region?), and damage our trustworthiness”.
Lawrence did not rejected the chance of gain a region, saying that “Depending on the stature of the NAP i will inform our other soldiers to stand down and or help the British withhold regions.” Later on, he made clear that “This is not the case for cork”.

We hope our interview will help both pro and anti-treaty to understand what the candidates will do, if elected, about this matter. For the sake of Ireland and eDemocracy, go and vote!
