Winston Hope Smith - The Team
Winston Hope Smith
Comrades, Collogues and Citizens of eIreland
As promised I will detail the various proposed teams that will run the Ministries should I be lucky enough to win the upcoming Country President Election.
I am well aware that not everyone will be happy with some/all of the choices but I stand over each and every one of them and I am confident they will do the job assigned in a professional manner.
Vice President
I remember when I first run (unsuccessfully) for CP I had no real experience of how eRepublik Governments work. I then realised that to get that knowledge one has to observe Government at work. My choice for Vice President has run a number of times for the top job but imho needs to learn the ropes at the coalface. K Fitzpatrick has the energy and ideas to be a great CP of eIreland. I wanted to give him a chance to see how "busy" eRepublik Government is and so I was delighted when he accepted an offer to be Vice President should I win.
Minister of Foreign Affairs
The upcoming star of the eIrish Foreign Affairs world, I believe Raven Anarcho has earned this position. Raven has a love of FA and has dedicated his eRepublik life to the advancement of our contacts with the wider eWorld. With a deep understanding of the alliance blocks and their interplay Raven will guide us on a steady and sure path to security through allies. If any player wishes to join Raven on the team (if I win on the 5th) please contact him to express your interest.
Minister of Defence
With Seanan wishing to step back from this role it was time to have a new face in the MoD. Ian E Coleman comes with Seanan's recommendation and is eager to take over the reigns. As well as been the MoD, Ian is also Commander of the Irish Army so if I win once again these roles will be merged. The Command structure of the IA will remaim as Spartan (Strike Manager) -
Minister of Finance
When I was last CP I worked with Appleman as MoF. Apple was an exceptional MoF at that time and has maintained the security of the Orgs since we reset them then. Should I be elected Country President be assured the Orgs will remain as safe as they were when I was last CP. One change will be the return of Financial reports with at least 3 sets of accounts (start, middle and end of term) will be issued. Appleman works with my good ingame friend Loouman who I would trust with my RL wallet.
Minister of Community
The writer of the "This Day" series Anthony Colby understands what makes eIreland a eCountry of choice. It is a vibrant community with and hive of activity all around. Whether in the publishing of interesting articles or with competitions Anthony will strive to entertain us during the next term. (I know he has offered his services elsewhere also so hopefully whoever wins Anthony will be MoC and prove why everyone likes him (no he didn't pay me to say that)
Minister of Education
As I said in my last article the nurturing of eIrelands babies and maintaining a decent level of player retention is most important. In this I believe we should not fix what is not broken and I have asked Ian E Coleman to continue in this role. This he has agreed but we will be looking to find a suitable person to assist Ian. (if you are interested please contact Ian)
Congress Liaison
Finally when I was CP one change I introduced was to have a liaison person between Congress and the Executive. This I intend to do again and I has asked AD31 to prepair himself, should I win, to take on this role. I have already friend request all Congressmen and will create, should I be elected, new Congress threads as I used to do with the mix of parties in each message. This way each party can have input to discussion in either thread.
That's my Team and I ask you to endorse it by voting for me on the 5th.
Until next time

Solid article, great team, look forward to the next article!
Voted hard!
Out of interest, how do you vote soft?
If there was a "VOTED" button and a "voted" button, the emphasis on support really is what it means. :v
It's one of the many things in the game that irritate me. Put it down to my advanced years.

work tax is still at 5% i will vote work tax: high and i vote for a player without appleman in the cabinet, low well appleman wont make it low but then i still wont vote appleman.
his time has come. he doesnt have enough spark anymore for the job, lies constantly, and is disrespectful to certain players. also one person cannot carry 2 roles, have we really so little players that you cannot fill the education job with someone else?
Hi Krakken, I understand your concern on the work tax as I too share it. If you remember I was part of the campaign to reduce it when it was introduced. However I was not in Congress so AD32 & Liam Tatlock spearheaded that campaign for the ILP in Congress. The work tax is under constant review and its level, along with the other taxes, will need justification.
Regarding the 2 roles for Ian, if you read the article we are activity seeking an "active" person with an love for this role to work with Ian so if you know of anyone please send them his way. Until there is a proven person to take over we can't risk the MoE dying off like it ha sin the past.
However thanks for you honest comments people opinions are always good to know even if you disagree on points.
= v =
kurgan will not bee happy 🙁
Actually i am quite pleased with humans in this cabinet.
Even those few kunts are the one that still can be saved....
Appleman actually introdiced me with spreadshit formulas i now use to comunicate with heavens. And i am sure WHS will bring non-kunt elements on surface.
Colby is...well..american...and therefore confused and brainwashed but still not lost for good.
Others like AD31, raven and Fitzpatrick are brilliant choices and the one that represent honour and pride of Ireland...Ireland with a spine.
Only two problems were there....Malbekh and Conway soiling Irish Army.
But with moron going butthurt to death only one problem remained....i am sure it will be dealth with....
vote good luck. anybody know is sweet running again 😮
Yes he is candidated
Voted, GL o7

Strength and Honour
Whoever wins - good luck!
Voted o7
Good team and good luck.
On the 5th of September, we vote for a brighter future. We vote for Ireland!
Good luck WHS.
As for the work tax, it hasn't stop being under debate the whole time. 5% may be too high after all, so there is a high possibility of lowering it. The important thing is and always were to find the balance where Ireland has a profit without "slaughtering" any players.

WTF to that! Another incompetent comment from someone going to be in government. I believe its down to people like you that we have that WT atm. What and how was ireland doing before WT?! We did manage WITHOUT it, didnt we? What do we need extra money for? Who is responsible for the amount of WT?
As we all know, admins decided to put this Work Tax in use. That was not really our choice.
So, since it is unavoitable why not try to use it in the way Ireland can benefit without players hurting too much? You may think it is an "incompetent comment", but honestly so far we are tyring to help both Ireland as a country and Irish citizens.
As for who is responsible for the tax rate we have now, yes I proposed the law after Appleman's request. A couple of days before that proposal, he did publish an article saying (among other things) that on the 20th of August the rate will be proposed to rise to 5% in order to test it. I don't remember the public expressing unrest about that decission and curtainly i don;t remember you arround.
In case you believe we are doing it wrong, or if you believe you can do things better than us,, feel free to join us and work towards a better Ireland!
Ros, AD31 made the proposal at the MoF's request. If he hadn't done it, someone else would have. I don't think many players knew just how much of an impact it would have had on our companies or else it probably never would have happened.
Hello to the special team, comical your running again since you did literally nothing when you were CP last time.
