THE PATRIOTS PARTY
MR. PADRAIG PEARSE
Hello everybody,
Today I would like to announce the unveiling of a new Irish Party The Patriots. After much collaboration between a few of my associates we felt the need for a party in Ireland that was bound by a clear set of goals and principles. We are not a club house for friends to dictate the Presidency or Congress elections. We are a political party with the objective of creating a better, stronger Ireland through an open set of principles.
The Patriots – What We Stand For
• We understand that Ireland is a small community and for that reason needs armed unity and firepower to be at her best. For that reason we support a self-supporting Irish Army that serves the Irish Government. We believe in the right of our soldiers to bear the most effective weapons in order to inflict their highest capable damage on the battlefield, all in the name of Ireland.
• We support the fun of republicanism in eIreland and realise the benefits a war for the region of Northern Ireland has for the Irish community in eRepublik along with the retention of our new players. For that reason we support the possibility of siding on the opposite axis of the United Kingdom in foreign affairs. However, this does not mean we want needless war with the UK, it means we want the possibility of an open door for war against the British for Northern Ireland.
• We desire for a clear Irish majority in eIreland. We support any attempts at an eIrish Baby Boom.
• We aim for new relations with countries that share similar real life properties such as Ireland. Countries such as Italy, Croatia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the Philippians, Portugal amongst many, many others.
Our Congress Bid
In the event that we remain a top 5 party we have set a number of candidates before the election. Our aims for the Congress should we get a member elected are as follows:
• Talks between the CIA && IA for a merger
• Talks of Government investment or an investment plan being put into place for Irish Army owned companies
• Minimal shared MPPs with the United Kingdom
• New, clear rules on Ireland’s immigration policy requiring a 60% majority favouring any requests
• Government funded referral spammers (Government pays or rewards Irish people to spam their referral links on Irish websites and forums)
If our ideology appeals to you please join our ranks. If you disagree with our party please treat us as a respected member of the opposition. We are here to make Ireland a better country, we will work toward establishing our name in eIreland and work at being a respectable member of the opposition.
We currently have logos and banners in the making!
Thank you for your time, and have a very happy xmas

Seems legit o7
Mmmkay
oh look , the thieves done got themselves a party together , all in the one place . I wonder what will happen next
stop poaching IV members !!
''Talks between ICA and IA for a merger''
If by merge you mean ICA closes and its old members join the IA that sounds reasonable.
"a self-supporting Irish Army"
That's a major policy change, are you sure you guys are ready?
You constantly been saying the only way to fight in eRep is to get tons of tanks paid for with other people's money. Are you finally ready to go back to the system of low tax, low corruption government? No more cast subsidized tank handouts from the gov, just enough investment income to feed MPPS, boot camp, and community events. That is a major policy shift from you, and I hope you can make it happen.
Good luck with the re-branding.
Though I miss the "cheeky" name that better defined the collection of eIrish characters in your membership. Personally, I hope you go back to the more lighthearted party name, it befits your party's great humor better.

@Dylan - What ICA? i think one of our members are in the ICA so im not sure why you are bringing it up.
@Cast - Thanks for the support man 😉
@Bhane - Most of us in this party never agreed with the state being used for handouts unless its Bootcamp. While I was supplying in #eire.military I always said its wrong, sure we know some who got weaps never faught...it was a flawed system.
oh look , the thieves done got themselves a party together , all in the one place . I wonder what will happen next

Also - ICA and IA merging will completely defeat the authenticity of the Irish Army. The Irish Army is the army of the State. If the ICA dissolves and joins IA then I see no problem there, however a merge would destroy the State military and would probably become just another ICA-clique.
Self-supporting army? It would tale a million cc's to fund something like that...........oh wait..........
Dylan and Mike cant read...says CIA its not ICA.
Also Mike you not off somewhere trying to get the CP medal or asking for Scotland to be added?
Mal you have no idea how much it costs to properly fund the IA and your mate Bean let us get robbed for 2 million so pipe dow.
@ Also Mike how would a merger " defeat the authenticity of the Irish Army"
The ICA helped create the IA, as always you have no idea what you are talking about. Do some research before talking crap.
ICA is doing worse in rankings than IPA, maybe IPA should merge with IA. Makes more sense.
Honest?
You clearly do not know anything about the members of this party.
They ARE patriots, and will always do what they believe to be best for eIreland. I do not doubt their loyalty to this great nation, Odoyle. But even they will admit that one of their proudest characteristics is their mastery of the troll arts, and underhanded subterfuge. They excel at lieing.
At least they lie to help eireland. there are plenty of e-nations that are willing to cheat and play dirty. We need a few dirty fighters on our side, and this party seems to be attracting our dirtiest. I look forward to the future.
This party will inevitably have a very large impact on eIreland for a long time to come. I have every confidence that impact will be a positive one in the long run.
Mike nothing is said about the ICA, what are you talking about?
A sure Bhane we don't deny who we are, some of the greatest and successful MoD's and CP's this country ever had.

I never said you denied it. I just read O'doyles comment and laughed. He is simply unfamiliar with you guys. I felt my comment was necessary to correct his mistake. With the experience of the players you are gathering, this new party will do quite well.
marcus, I hope you did not misread my comment as an insult. It was clearly meant as a compliment.
We need good guys on our side that aren't afraid to fight dirty, and your party will definitely be capable of competing with any other nation that tries something underhanded. I'm very glad this cheeky party is on our side.
@Marcus: Chill out dude, have some purple skunk

Also IA - Most successful MU in Ireland ever...fact.
Sure the ICA was a phenomenal force in the infancy of eIreland. but it's heyday ended long ago. The IA has persisted and added to it's accomplishments as one of the most solid, persistent MUs in all of eRep. You can't live in the past, this is not 2010 and the glory of the ICA is no longer fresh in everyone's memory. It's legacy is great, but the ICAs major accomplishments have faded into history. The IA has had many years of reliability well after the ICA passed away.
You obviously have very fond memories of the ICA, but give the IA their kudos. The Irish Army has earned it.
Unfortunately, the ICA splintered it's best members as they scattered to the winds to join this or that MU. Perhaps the ICA could have endured and kept doing the same level of accomplishments it had done long ago through these interim years. Then there would be no contest. But alas the ICA has faded, and the IA endured. If both MUs had grade cards, then one "A" and 3 "incomplete"s for the ICA does not overcome 4 "B+"s for the IA.
The ICA in it's day WAS great.
The IA through all those years still IS great.
Bhane, the IA is the ICA's greatest achievement, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
ICA was literally never the strongest MU in Ireland. Ever.
Even when the IDF was weak it still outfought the ICA easily.
oh look , the thieves done got themselves a party together , all in the one place . I wonder what will happen next

Brian I am saying the IA deserves the respect it is due. I am not saying the ICA was weak or not great at all. The ICA was great in it's day. I am just saying the IA has clearly been the most accomplished MU. Also the IA may have been started by ICA members but they are still separate military entities.
The ICA cannot claim the accomplishments of other MUs as their own. That belittles the efforts of the others in those MUs. The average unacclaimed citizens that make up the great strength of the IA deserve better than that. They deserve to get credit for what they have done.
It's fairly easy to be the top MU when you have state support Dylan 😛
I'm afraid the ICA can claim the IA's accomplishments however. The ICA's membership, via various political means, created the IA and the concept of its supply system after a long time fighting for it. Everything the IA has done is a result of the ideas behind it, and those ideas originated in the ICA.
That does not belittle anyone's efforts, if people had abandoned those ideas, then the IA would have stagnated greatly like the IDF did. The ideas created the faith in the system necessary for its success.
Then we will agree to disagree, Brian.
I don't think the hard work done by citizens in the IA should be credited to a small group of players that left the IA behind many years ago. Long after the whims of ICA members lead them down many other paths, the IA endured and grew into the strength we know today. That is the result of IA leadership that is there, not the result of some legacy left by the ICA.
You cannot credit all the IA has done over the years to a handful of people from the long past. It is an insult to the IA members that endure.
The IA endured and grew because its structures were based in good ideas and good patriotic citizens. The ICA is responsible for the former, but not the latter. But it required both to make the IA strong.
It is not an insult, it is fact. Historical fact at this stage admittedly.
As Commander of the IA, there has been a great amount of perceptive for me to consider - and I'm certainly taking in various view points.
But if I was to say something "political" related to the comments, I'd say there is a misconception that the Irish Army is a sole achievement of the ICA - they played their part in the formation as much as those who understood that an army following the consensus of nation best represented eIreland (which was a major change in attitude from both the IDF who followed a mandate and the ICA who followed the metagame). I am proud of my part in the formation of the Irish Army, as an IDF CoS but I understand the success of the Army never came from those who helped form the Army, instead came from the members and the people I serve with - current and ex.
Seanan, the IA would not exist without the ICA, the republican socialist movement in Ireland, etc. That cannot be denied.
That does not mean its success is due to the ICA alone, but it does mean all the achievements of the IA sit upon the foundation of their ideas, while its structures continue onwards due to one thing alone: The Irish citizenry themselves.
The change in attitude in the IDF was forced after years of what was practically a civil war, after some of its membership continually and deliberately sabotaged efforts to change the military and economic structure of Ireland, for personal reasons as much as political ones. It took the near ruin of Ireland to change their minds as much as a change in popular opinion. That is the reason why the ICA did not merge with the IA until very recently, the ICA had not desire to sacrifice its independence lest the old spectre of civil war return. You know these things very well.
What the ICA has done since the IA's foundation is open for moral inspection, of course.

@Brian
Everyone should be proud of their stake in the formation of the Irish Army, but to say one group had more stake in the formation than another just serves to create divisions whilst being untrue to begin with - ICA put the metagame aspect at the front of the debate, i.e. communes but the 'ideology' which forms the foundation of the Irish Army, and that which makes it a stable establishment, could have not been further away from either the IDF or the ICA, hence why the army has worked and persisted. I'm all for giving credit where it is due, but you're point seems to be taking undue credit for a specific group, and is removed from the reality of the Army which actually formed.
Seriously, it's totally irrelevant who had a hand in forming what army. The only relevance is the influence the country brings to bear on the battlefield and how organised it is. All this bullshit posturing is just that. Seanan is doing a good job without all the political baggage that people like throwing in.
It's not irrelevant.
irishbhoy1967, Myself, CT and Marcus and Seanan were all outrageously paramount in the formation of your beloved Irish Army. You all might hate that fact and ignore but at the end of the day that's how it is.
I gave every last one of my companies to the IA when it was founded, I was the first MoD/CoS of the Irish Army as well.
There was a time in Ireland when the IDF was our Army. We were inefficient, bad damage output for our size etc and then the ICA came around. Show Ireland how to do it.
We then strove for the IDF to be disbanded and taken down. Thus the inactivity of Nith after his beloved Na Fianna was ousted for it pure ineffectiveness and the basically the entire old guard of the IDF joined Libertad which was in complete contrast to their previous principals and worked our asses off to form the Irish Army whilst keeping the Irish Citizen Army going. We gave eIreland two very competently and efficiently run Military Units and guess what happened next? Worldwide recognition.
It might go against everything in your being to say thanks to the ICA but you owe it us.
If anything, we all owe thanks to irishbhoy1967.
and that Bhane, Is our success. Transforming Ireland from a speck on a map to a country taking on Poland and helping our allies regardless of what it meant to our Island. We gave it common sense, we gave it a game to play.
And no matter what the IA do they will never match that feat.
hi oj
v+s well work

Thanks Seanan for working tiredlessly in the Irish Army!
