Patton facing internal unrest in Fianna Fail
•
by Paddy Machiavelli
The rumoured internal unrest within Fianna Fáil has boiled over tonight, with one of the party's senior congressmen [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-203192.html]publicly attacking[/a] leader patton and calling for his resignation.
[a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-71221.html]Seloth[/a], who is [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/members_list-0-7.html]ranked fourth within the party[/a] and is much respected in eIreland, has harshly criticised patton and said his economic policies would ruin the country if made Government policy.
Patton, who has recently come under a cloud due to the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-202181.html]revelation that he owned a mercenary army[/a] while also being in charge of the Irish state army, responded by laughing off the suggestion and criticising Seloth himself.
Having lost two consecutive Presidential/Congressional elections in recent months rumours began to spread that FF party members had grown tired of patton's leadership and wanted change.
Party sources told The Irish Press earlier this month that many had hoped to peacefully depose patton in the party elections last week, however no single senior candidate could be found to mount a meaningful challenge to his reign.
The same source suggested that many saw the upcoming local and national elections as the final chance for patton to bring Fianna Fáil to power in eIreland.
Signs have been mounting in recent months that patton's support within Fianna Fáil has declined. When he established a petition to drop taxes in eIreland he only gained the support of four of his party's members out of nearly 50.
As well as this former FF congressman [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-26153.html]Vyse[/a] walked away from the party last week to take charge of his new [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/party-103.html]Blue Rogues[/a] organisation and has been critical of patton's actions and ideas ever since then.
Patton still enjoys the support of many of the more senior members of Fianna Fáil however it is unclear how many of the party's members are as supportive at this time. The recent revelations about his mercenary army as well as his stance on the USA/Canada war have proven to be useful fodder for his harshest critics and have even led to calls for him to quit eIreland for good.

I\'d like to add that Patton has stated that he wished to step down as Party leader for a period of time before I called for his imidiate resignation.
Also,Government officals have been asked to resign over farless things.It is my thought that Pattons actions have brought even more of a mockery to the party with his recent actions.This,as well as his views and series of actions since the formation of Fianna Fail has led to the build up and the evetual pushing point for this call of imideiate resignation.
Seloth- I have been looking for Fianna\'s next leader for the last week on our forum. However, not that many people are contributing.
Paddy- the low turnout for the petition is a sign of inactivity in the party and Ireland not a sign of internal dispute. If there was dispute internally for months as you suggest then I beleive someone wuld have said someone or offered their candidacy instead of agreeing wit me. I encourage debate within my one party and any member that has a problem I ask to debate you on our forum section. Also Paddy when I started Ireland First had like 60 more members the growth of Fianna Fail to 50 members is nothing short of remarkable
there is absolutely nothing wrong with a mercenary state. A state based on blood and gold and loyalty. check this out http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=896#more-896
the secret society of hashassin survived for thousands of years in a geographically small and remote fortress wedged between superpowers by playing to their strengths with absolute loyalty. Sound familiar?
Look for god in the river. In the river you find the never-ceasing never-ending flow of quality akin to the good. Think of origins: good; god. They are the same. The river, the source, contains the good, contains the god.
Hahahahha!
I once again criticise the unbiased part in your newspapers description.
There is nobodoy wanting patton to step down in Fianna Fáil.
You should check your sources buddy.
Besides much of Fianna Fáil isnt just one perosn ie. Seloth.
Im telling you now,not revealing as you call it,that nobody in Fianna Fáil is against Patton and we stand behind him as our best way forward to the future.
Top Gun: There is nobodoy wanting patton to step down in Fianna Fáil.
You did read Seloth\'s post, right? He\'s in Fianna Fáil, right? He may not be the entire party, but he\'s somebody, right?
I can tell you that Seloth is not alone in how he feels and my sources are good - I never said the majority want patton out, I just said there were people within FF who wanted him out. That\'s an undeniable fact.
Well then why dont they move to Ireland First since they accept their views more than Fianna Fáils as Seloth said?
Is FF a party that represents views of just one man and 49 are expected to follow blindly? So much for democracy 🙂
Because originaly FF wasnt ment to be as a open or stupid as it is now.The party is a joke.I for one am planning to move as Patton is a complete moron.TopGun Im suprised at you as well.Just look at some of his posts on the forum about Ireland and Europe and see if your views on him are the same.

Patton disagrees with eIreland\'s leadership and supports the eUSA - should he also leave this country and go there as a result? I don\'t think so.
Surely people can disagree with the leadership of a party without having to leave it - even patton has encouraged (At least in public) people to raise their issues with him.
Debate strengthens a party. I only left Ireland First because I felt after long debate that our differeneces were inconsolable. Also I have examined my party and asked for people to debate and the only one to debate me was Seloth. From what I can see the internal unrest I feared after this article was practically non existent. This did give me the idea to examine myself and my party however, and I have this article to thank for it
