My dear laddies and lassies of Eire, I write to you about the greatest truth about eIreland. We've always had factions at every point in our history, some have driven us into a couple civil wars. We only took energy away from what energy could be directed to our enemies instead of actually playing the game to win. When you hold onto the past, it only distracts you from the present.
If eIreland could have one big discussion - one with a representative from each "faction" to come up with goals we have in common. We work together towards achieving this goal and that will keep us from being bored with the actual gameplay. We should have an IRC channel for disputes and call it the "Thunderdome" - two men enter, only one man leaves. Then we screenshot the conversation and publish them in the Ministry of Community articles.
If we are truly to establish a socialist republic, we must be united in a Common Goal. eIreland has been home to a strong citizenry, proud of our Republican Socialist roots and the days when we flew the eIrish flag over London! Or during the Great December Revolution, when we banded together as Sons of Eireann and the Fenian Brotherhood (known as the "Popular Liberation Front" for a brief amount of time). The formation of the Irish Army soon followed and we fought the British out of eIrish lands.
The 'Independent' Labour versus 'New' Labour competition should not erupt in another comment-catfight war. All actions we take from this point on is what will define what kind of players we are and how to judge our characters. A socialist republic can only be successful if it undergoes a social revolution beforehand.
ILP members, I humbly ask for your votes in this next Party President election. Put your trust in me and I will lead you admirably and perhaps convince those whose heart lies not in their party but in the struggle for a socialist eIrish republic! The ones who have dedicated most of their efforts towards achieving this goal and not helping the enemy by distracting each other from the real enemy.
I declare the manifesto of unity, as united as the whole of eIreland should be one day. We will always have our differences, grudges, biased attitudes towards each other but doesn't every e-society. What makes a nation successful is they put enough collective effort behind certain goals held by the majority of the population and they deal with the internal affairs without civil wars.
Tomorrow will bring a red dawn and all those who are committed to the eIrish Republic is my ally. Let's talk about what our shared goals are, agree upon those goals, and play the game. Labour Unite!
“You cannot conquer Ireland. You cannot extinguish the Irish passion for freedom. If our deed has not been sufficient to win freedom, then our children will win by a better deed.” Pádraig Pearse.
Your's Truly,
Colin Fox
WE SHALL OVERCOME

Best of luck Mike, you seem to be genuinely against a comment war. Hope to see you take over the ILP this election.
The article was a statement of how I see the situation, bringing it out into the open, rather than just keeping quiet. I've not read any of the comments, as I presumed it would degenerate into a flame war. People can agree or disagree as they wish. Best of luck in the election.
It was an attempt to smear the Labour Party by highlighting certain events in their history, exaggerating some of them & ignoring any similarities they may have to events that have occurred in ILP's history along with other party's in the top 5.
It's a tactic I will expect to see plenty more of in the future by the ILP, rather than compete with us on the commune front, the MU front or the welfare front they'll prefer to use insults, lies & smears to try halt our Labour movement.
We won't be discouraged, we will prevail.
LABOUR ABÚ

Boated.
I am absolutely committed to a free and strong eIreland. I am absolutely opposed to a socialist eIreland.
I do agree that civil discourse would be a vast improvement in our nation. I am uncertain that some citizens have any interest in joining such a discourse or seeking to end multi generational disputes.
If you joined 4 years ago the IUP & IFP would of made you president

Socialism is the people. Who deserves to be strong and free? The people of eIreland, not the elite few. The union of the people has more strength than that of any one player. eIreland is a small nation, we're weak when divided, but together we wield enough power to punch nations larger than ourselves. To ensure the greatest efficiency, strength, and prosperity for eIreland is only possible through socialism.
ILP ABÚ!
What right do the people have to what I make or have? I have worked to earn and/or create it. It is mine to dispose of as I choose. As I become stronger, I can assist others in doing the same. Thus we all become stronger, not dependent on an elite few to decide who is worthy of what has been taken from others.
All men are created equal. They then have the opportunity to prove themselves and move ahead. I agree with the RL American concept that their are certain inalienable rights. The right to take what I have and give it to others is not one of them.
You support the Bank Bailout Paddy?
Why dont we all get into one party and let the others fall to zero 😃
essentially the PP is CP. 🙂 And with full control over almost all of the dail selection, we're really talking about edictatorship now. 😛
sounds good only messing 😛
lassies - lassies would be the plural of lassie the dog true words indeed mr fox true words indeed.
in fact there was already a thunderdome event and what you see is the remnants of the clerics destructive trolling prowess. a prowess unmatched in any other org in the ewORLD. All this whining and moaning is just an attempt to forget our total and utter PWNAGE of them. For indeed the CLERICS WAS VICTORIOUS AND MAGNANIMOUS IN DEALING WITH THE DEFEATED.. Relax my tortured heretic children krakken gives you a few days off to recoup your senses.
