The waters of my calm temperament shall dull and eventually erod the hammer! o.0

Good luck man!

😁
(evidence that I too can be calm 🙂 )

Good luck Dubh and damn I have a hard choice to make 😛

I didn't think I'd see you running again for ages, but you are so good luck!
Very competitive election this one is.

Thanks Donovan, Ian and John 🙂 I'll do my best not to disappoint

Good luck Dubh

Guys you can vote for Dubh and throw away your vote or you can vote for Nogin as she actually has a chance of winning. Whether or not you think Dubh would be better than nogin, we all know Nogin would be the best candidate out of the other 3 who have a chance of winning. So please vote for Nogin.
If this election was already decided and the best candidate was sure to win then running a no hoper would be fine. But because this election hangs in the balance, then it's important that we work together to ensure that the next president is the best possible one for Ireland. And therefore we must vote for Nogin

Snake, Nogin and Octavius are all experienced, competant candidates. In fact, this month has the best lineup i've seen in quite a while. Whoever wins, Ireland will be in very good hands.

A vote is never wasted, even if the recipient candidate doesn't win. A vote is an extension of your political beliefs and should always reflect that.

I haven't made up my mind yet on who to vote for, but I will definitely read your manifesto, Dubh.

Good luck!

Thanks Bristel, I was sad to see you weren't running this month

Good luck, Dubh.

Since everyone else is just being nice and saying good luck I will ask a toughish question. Since you were impeached the last time you were CP what have you learned and what would you do diffrent if elected this time? Since you are responding back to everyone comments I figured I would give you someithg to respond too. Good luck.

good luck.

Thanks Moo, i'm glad someone asked - it seemed poor form to harp on about it in my manifesto.

This month the situation is very different. Instead of having to fight congress for each inch of progress, the President needs to embrace the Dail and bring it back into the creative process.

There needs to be a real demonstration of how the new system should work - the President operating hand in hand with the Dail. Yes, the powers are seperated, but this doesn't mean that 40 minds should go untapped. In fact I think it should be the opposite - now that authority is defined, we should be able to focus more on generating the ideas themselves. There should be alot less tension because of this, and i'll be putting alot of effort into going WITH the flow, instead of AGAINST it.


Another aspect i'm much wiser on is public relations. That always sounds like a dirty term, inferring 'spin,' but in this case it's not. Having had time to reflect on my presidency I know where I went wrong in dealing with people, parties and congress; whether I was right or wrong in principle at the time is irrelevant. There has been a change at the 'grass roots' of my reactions.

In all I feel now I, and Ireland, are ready to truly work and progress as one.

Thanks Rastari 😃

Connell STFU. We arent electing a MoF, were electing a CP

Dubh, best wishes ha should be a good show if you get in.

Good luck Dubh

What are your plans to stabilize the MM? You say you plan on doing it but don't give a means to it. Care to expand?

Good luck with the election!

Dubh ,, U changed ur whole temperament AGAIN ???

My temperament has remained the same for a long time, Castaneda. What CAN be changed is how one expresses it 🙂

The MM will be stabilised from both sides with offers from the Banc.

My point exactly , NO CHANGE !!
On a serious point , If u wer to win by splitting vote and with the help of labour manage to get say 60-70 votes ,
That would mean over 130 people will not have voted for you , Meaning u will have a lot less support than u had the last time ,
Ergo , a lot more opposition ,
Do you really think its in Irelands Interests to spend yet another month fighting with itself and its President instead of actually getting something done around here ?

Interesting... best of luck!

I would not run if I did not feel I could do good things in the position.

I hold no grudges or preconceptions, and I would expect others to offer me the same courtesy. The election will reflect the desire of the people, and that should be respected, by all parties, for the good of Ireland.

Criticism will be reacted to in a mature manner. Constructive criticism will be encouraged. Mudslinging will be ignored. And in all, i will do my best to do the best in whatever situations are presented to me.

Good luck Dubh.

Negative or positive words won't make anything different, so Good luck.

Excuse me for not being very direct with my question. I was mostly wondering how you plan on dealing with this "attack" of our MM (by the UK?). The current administration has completely halted all attempts at regulating the market because of it as I'm sure you're aware. I don't pretend to be knowledgeable on the matter but I assume they've halted it due to it being extremely difficult to regulate or even near impossible. I've just come back from a short sabbatical but from what I understand even without attacks from other parties on the MM countries all over the place are having difficulty stabilizing their currencies due to the decrease in the amount of gold available. Am I wrong in thinking that it will be harder then just putting up offers on both sides from the banc or is what I understand correct? I don't mean to be a nit-picker as this really is a brilliant manifesto but I'm just curious to see your thoughts on it as you are known to have a pretty decent financial mind.

I'm glad to see you're attitude has changed and I think you will fare a lot better this time around if elected. While my vote still lies with Christina I think it's safe to say that no matter who wins the election we will be in capable hands.

Good luck!

v, good luck Dbh. You are official candidate for LP from now. I want to inform the fellow irish workers and citizens, that Dubh will not stand in this alone. There is a whole team backing him up and ready to fight for irish workers.

so best of lack commie.
connolly James, VP of LP

Good luck, old friend.

Is that the election campaign you're running Octavius? That Nogin is just a MoFinance? You're comment here held no relevance whatsoever to what I said. And Nogin has much more to offer other than being the best financial mind in the country. It takes organisational skills and a lot of work to get where she has got today and that is what would make her a great CP. Work, organisation and delegation.

If people want stuff actually done next term in Ireland then vote for Nogin

Nogin is certainly a very fine candidate with multiple skills that would make her suitable for the job.

That said, I feel that I have much more in depth experience across the board. I have had an impact in the areas of Irish:

Military - The IDF runs on my model.

Finance - interventionalism, loans and initiatives.

Government - Wrote the constitution and a good portion of our current laws.

Industry - Was expanded and the most efficient under the watchful gaze of Sweet and I.

Foreign Affairs: Closened relations with Brolliance nations. Proposed Eden membership when noone else would.

This man is more than qualified to lead Eire, vote him in. Good luck my brother!
