Winston Hope Smith - The Team

Day 2,109, 13:13 Published in Ireland Ireland by 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) - Death and Taxes(with D&T leaving there will need to be a new appointment here), Commune Manager - James Keiller, Commune Supplier - Mary Robinson.

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
