Dear comrades,
So it has begun the prophesied resurrection of the Old Labour regime, uniting together to form what was once the most prominent leftist party in eIreland many years ago. Here you can read their first party newsletter with their head staff named; An Sluagh as Party President, NomadMKD as Vice President, ian ardbuckle as Secretary General, Hank Scorpio as Spokesmen, Punistick as Councillor, orangejuicemmm as Interior Advisor, and Brian Boru as Party Whip.
When one googles "erepublik labour party" you mostly see pictures of ILP members, logos, and imagery. This is a testament to how long its been since Labour's true revival. Their last attempt didn't meet much success, with the party ultimately being ineffective and changed to another name.
The Independent Labour Party has lost its luster. Since its conception it has lacked a formidable leadership to be a prominent force in national politics. It has always been full of competent congressmen and many of whom are friendly players with a strong sense of comradery. Perhaps that is what has kept the ILP from dissipating into the sands of e-history as another lost left-wing movement.
I would like to take a moment to address that I take great delight in seeing the revival of leftism in eIreland and the efforts for collectivization taken by both political parties such as communes, paramilitaries, etc. I do not address New Labour as a political enemy, but as a political competitor - a rival. In the spirit of e-Socialism, I embrace this new party in hopes that they will work for the betterment of the worker and the struggle of the socialist eIrish nation.
In light of this, I would like to announce my candidacy for ILP party president. I hope I can bring something new to the ILP and eIreland, as in the coming weeks I plan on setting out a grand scheme in which to jump-start eIreland both socially and economically.
'Independent' Labour versus 'New' Labour...which political party will claim the loyalty of the eIrish people?

"but as a political competitor - a rival"
whoa now, the socialism I know would have no such thing as a rival!
Good article though 🙂
Centralisation is not a requirement of socialism.
But it can help depending on circumstance.
Any country where people pay taxes for public services is socialist by the broadest definition.
Depends what the taxes pay for.
I changed the name personally to Krakkens biawtches'
Colin considering their spokesman 2 months back had a representation to congress in which a man swang his wilie to some music i really think we can fairly say the labour party is nothing but a joke party.
Eeeeeh shut up Mike.
?
You gave it away Mike 😉

There is a difference?
What i know is that right now a spokesman of ILP struis vogel publically supported sexual abuse in erepublik by making a mockery of my traumatic experience in current Krakken's article.
When malebekh sexually abused me by paying 40 golds for a new party and named it by my testicles....for over a month...even i sent ticket to admins asking them to protect me from this sick person...
Kurgan, that doesn't fit the definition of sexual harassment, and it's definitely NOT sexual abuse.
When someone use your testicles as a party name then you can make judgement what is what.
When someone shows open opsession to your genitals for over a month then you can make opinion on your own.
I guess if some girl gets raped in rl you would say it's her fault coz she had nice hair...
That last part has literally nothing to do with what I said... but it's nice to know that whenever I disappear, you'll still be here, exactly the same, when I come back...
Actually it does considering you are placing comment where you take the right to judge someone else's trauma.
But you are right...The Kurgan do not change his nature....it has been the same since spaceship crashed......
Voted.
And best of luck in the PP elections, a balanced and open attitude to all is something the ILP needs.
Comrade o7
Nice article. I'm liking your comments and attitude towards the new Labour party.
An Sluagh/Conway as Party President
Hank Scorpio as Spokesmen
orangejuicemmm as Interior Advisor
If those 3 don't scare the bejayus out of eIreland nothing will
But if you need more look at their membership
Let our Treasury beware!!!
Are we next ? Damn ! 😃
What are you scared of?
He's using the exaggerated notion that we're trouble makers to hide his fear of having domestic leftist competition.
The ILP has had multiers, treasury robbers & leaders who made alliances with PTOers before, they've broken government protocol to suit their own agenda too.
Right now it seems our party is doing a lot more work to aid the eIrish playing experience. We're following socialist ideals. That obviously intimidates him because the ILP has been a monopoly for so long.
I'd prefer to see Winston fight us on the commune front & on the welfare front so the country has a competition between which left party offers more to the eIrish citizen, rather than these tabloid style little digs. Alas we'll take them on the chin & continue to provide health to our members, continue to provide Q7 tanks to our members, we'll continue to push through tax amendments in the Congress, we'll continue to build an MU Ireland can be proud of & we'll continue our campaign for reform in the Irish Army.
LABOUR ABÙ
so many untruths... The ILP don't fear competition on the left, if fact we welcome it and work with them Ask The Left Hand who we we have excellent relations with....however we draw the line with thieves, scammers, racists and homophobes sullying the name of the Left.
I do not consider your Party, The Labour Party, as anything other than a vehicle for the most untrustworthy in eIreland to gain access to power and ultimately the treasury

WHS the author of this article (the founder of the ILP) collaborated & gave gold to British PTO'ers in Ireland for his own benefit.
A year ago the senior members of your party, you included, disobeyed Immigration protocol to allow citizens into the country that would join the ILP.
Your party has had your fair share of thieves.
Get off your high horse. While you moan & groan & try to taint our party we'll continue working on improving the game for eIrish citizens. Given by your rants in the Dail & these little comments in the media I take it we're doing a job.
LABOUR ABUUUUUUU
@WHS,
Did your party not support a thief in the election just past? We are not racists. Also we are not homophobes. When other members of the community got involved in such abuses to other players, where were you? Cut the political crap. The Left Hand of Ireland aren't a true left wing party.
As Hank said, rival us with policies, with citizen welfare, with communes. Stop tarring us with old dirt that is no longer relevant.
One correction though, MikeBane did not actually give gold - he offered a 5 gold bribe for PTO'ers to leave eIreland whilst also doing a Bush-like tactic; using "terrorists/PTO'ers" as an excuse to tighten internal security measures and his power.
22:10 MikeBane Yes. And I am using your PTO as a reason to take away the citizen's rights to trial and also to keep tabs on people..
22:11 Maddog And what would you like from us?
22:11 MikeBane To keep posing as a threat, to be my enemy so the Irish Government can take away their rights.
22:11 MikeBane You can be paid
22:11 MikeBane weekly
22:12 MikeBane possibly in gold too
...
22:17 MikeBane this talk never happened. You may lack a congress member or two, but you will be paid weekly
22:17 Maddog I'd need the first payment now
22:18 Maddog to be sure this isn't a trick
22:18 MikeBane I sent you 5 gold
22:18 Maddog awesome what position do you hold in the eIrish gov by the way?
22:18 MikeBane Vice President and Minister of State.
22:19 MikeBane However, I am been proposing laws against the constitution for "PTO" emergency
22:19 Maddog that's a good idea
22:20 MikeBane So long Maddog. We will talk again sometime
22:20 Maddog Indeed we will. Good speaking to you.
The memory of that time period in my life is a bit...hazy lol those were the days.

Long Live ILP !
Everything was civil here until WHS started spreading his poison.
If it weren't for him I'll bet most people in ILP and Labour would actually get on well together.
Must be terrible to be defined by who you hate.
He is of/like ISD non revolutionary stock, not of the true revolutionary breed that is labour.
