Gerald Smyth for CP
Gerald Smyth
Hello Eire!
I am pleased to announce my candidacy for president of Ireland!
I have been a long time member of the ILP and LPA leadership. I have been involved in various departments of Ireland's governance including Foreign Affairs and Community.
The ILP and Ireland has overall been inactive recently and I hope to help to turn that around.
I will be releasing my cabinet here shortly. Raven Anarcho helped me compose it and I'll be asking around here shortly. As I said, I'll be posting that soon.
Btw, I'm not running because I hate Sweet. He's a component, respected candidate and I expect a clean campaign. A democratic Ireland will have an election with two very excellent candidates.
CAMPAIGN ASSURANCES
I will not make campaign promises. I'm not that kind of politician. I have three very simple assurances.
Campaign Assurances:
1.) To conduct a poll on which alliance Ireland wants to join.
2.) To liberate Ireland from the British. First by renewing a dialogue of peace and diplomacy. If this does not work we will enact coordinated means of military liberation campaigns with the assistance of our allies.
3.) Promote Irish culture and education through the eIrish University.
To expand on the first point: I will have various pollsters conduct and verify an all inclusive, expansive poll in order to help us decide our fate democratically. My staff and I will conduct extensive research into various alliances and I hope Ireland will enter it with an open mind.
Secondly, I hope to liberate Ireland. The British have their reasons to keep us down. But, I hope new leadership will be inclusive to the concept of an independent Ireland. If the British aren't willing to play nice, we'll coordinate national liberation strikes. We've done it before and we'll do it again.
Third, MikeBane and Anthony Colby (and others including myself) have been working hard on developing an educational resource called eIrish University for players both old and new. This will be part of the cultural revitalisation Ireland is needing to stay alive.
Ireland deserves a strong leader with strong plans. So let's go get them!
(cabinet will be posted soon as previously stated)
Sincerely,
Gerald Smyth

Good luck!
Being elected to CP in Ireland used to mean something. Now every tit and their mom can do it. I think it's been going downhill ever since Edana got elected. No qualifications and just a load of mates.
Adriano and Mikebane... do-nothing 2-click CPs for half the terms this year.
How far the office has fallen
= (
In fairness, we always had that type of President, it's just that their political power remains potent..
This so much this, seriously Mike you said ILP will stop nominating useless CP's.
I told you id believe it when I saw it, clearly it hasn't been seen yet.
But Brian we had quality candidates running against them, we see nothing but big parties putting terrible nominations up these days.
There is no hope for Ireland these days.
Like Brian said we have had good CPs in the past and some sub par ones. I think most of us were pleasantly surprised when Padraig won and did an excellent job. Basically you don't know how someone who has not done the job before will do. Some who have had tons of experience may not handle the pressure while some with little experience may rise to the occasion. That being said I would like someone who has experience but that is just me. My point is you just can't tell in all cases how someone will do.
Another poll wow...
Heh, he called me a component.
Freudian typo?
: P
Correct spelling is not guarteened in a Gerald Smyth presidency.
"two" apparently one that cant count. and i joined the race before him. tut tut
At the time this article was written you were not running.
My condolences.
but your not even running 🙂 in your case i would call it hiding
Very good article, Gerald! Best of luck
LOL thats it ILP, keep pushing these candidates that have no experience. Thats what Ireland needs, people who haven't a clue about the role.
Question Gerald,
Have you ever done any meaningful minister roles?
lol
Here we go again more incompetent CPs from ILP >_>

Best of Luck Gerald.
