Food For Thought
Lord Jeffrey
I would just like to take this opportunity to say I am pleased to report that I am back as PP and ready to take our party to the next step. I really for the hard work I have done and want to accomplish still. I reallty the appreciate the mandate I was given from the party as it is great validation for the hard work I have been doing. We are fastest growing party in Ireland and I am really excited about the future.
The real purpose of my article today was just to make people think about the upcoming congressional elections. I heard people say on more than one occasion that the Dáil (or Congress) does not matter, I guess being the implication is that government does all the real work and the Dáil are just a bunch of stooges.
This might not entirely be true...
Of course, last term we saw how important the Dáil was, they were important enough to throw us into war against a country we could not beat, with no promise or assurance of support from our allies. We didn't even do our homework or we would have known that Canada was backing out of the war with Poland at the same time we decided to go to war.
I asked several people the question about how on earth could they let this war happen. The administration was silent, and none of the party figures wanted to accept responsibility for the war, or quietly supported it (with some notable exceptions of course on "quietly") despite their control of Congress.
NO one is responsible for this allegedly besides some random people who wanted to have "fun" by getting wiped in a war we couldn't win:
I don't have to say that it appears pretty obvious where the responsibility was for the war and its consequences.
Such an unplanned, pointless, stupid decision would never have happened in an IUP controlled Congress. We need a stable, organized and active party to protect our interests at home and protect from outside threats to our country.
So when you are thinking about where to place your vote next election try something different, vote IUP. If for not other reason that we are evidently the only party who would be guardians against such a completely and utterly dumb decision as I discuss above. There is so much more though, and we have just begun. We have created here a movement that is growing very quickly and we would love to have you on board.
IUP: We don't do stupid sh*t with your vote

Pole Voted bro!
lol will you kop on, this is political opportunism if ever I saw it. We near got wiped give us congressional power so it doesn't happen again.
Jog on will yeh.
There will always be bollixes in eIreland congress, no matter what happens.
No revised party structure of any kind will solve that.
Voted up. Good article!
I dont think that criticizing past failures, and the polish issue was a failure, is political opportunism as much as it is holding the congress of the time accountable and offering a change. To a brighter tomorrow, where if we set out to help allies at our own cost we dont change our mindset almost immediately and effect no positive change.
Voted. And as a member of the IUP (and of congress during this proposed law), I can say with pride which way I voted, and it wasn't with the majority. The goal of congress should be to do what's right for the people of Ireland. When you vote IUP members to congress, you can assure that is exactly what happens.
I would like to add some quality statements to this discussion, but then I got lazy.
i didn't read any of this but i did vote for it 😛
Right, just to be clear then. In an NE where every vote counted, are you saying that no-one in your party voted for the NE?
cheap propaganda from ya this time..
Just when I thought ur different..
@ haters Oh, ok, let's not point out the faults in anything everyone has done, that myself and others spoke out against at the time. I am just saying I know for a fact that if the IUP had any amount of seats at all the war would not have happened. You can call it cheap propaganda or whatever you want. Things are screwed up here politically, especially in congress sry :/
@ malbekh Aries did, like I say, see above.
Sorry man but this is propaganda
