Dictator makes uninformed decision, near-useless president prevents disaster
KeetnaWilson
Another bad move by sitting Dictator Slaugh. Without consulting anyone, slaugh almost declares war against Great Britain. Desperate sitting president tries to calm population with newspaper article, manages to stop dictator. Another constant example of needed change in our government.
Now let's analyze this.
Great Britain, our direct neighbors, and current ally. They have no natural enemy, no active wars. Why is it a terrible decision to declare war with a country that has less 'Country Power' on the rankings?
Because they have triple our population, more allies, a working democracy, no wars to distract them.
Now look at us. A third of the population, fewer allies, an currently long lasting undemocratic system, a war with New Zealand that is getting nowhere.
If we declare war with them, they have the potential to ally with New Zealand, and destroy us. Even without a partnership, we'd be attacked on both sides.
Now, what would've happened in a democratic system?
Well, first of all, there would be more political diversity. More political diversity would equal more representation of the people in Congress. There would be an informed decision making process in congress, with the ministers, prime minister and president discussing. Our government would analyze the situation, consider future allies, a future war.
Even with the most informed, qualified person as dictator, dictatorship doesn't work. A dictator has opinions, and always, their choices will affect the whole society, but represent only some. With a congress and democratic system, all are being represented. Even if the final decision is against some opinions, all were represented in the decision making process.
Update:
hehe, this was fun. Expect no more, I want to keep my dignity, but your responses were nice.

political diversity does not ensure a good rule of "e-law" just gives the posibillity to make stupid moves to more ppl, rather that increasing/decreasing the spectrum of choice built a fiter system to judge the competency of a candidate regardles of his afinity/"diversity"
Dear Uninformed Journalist,
We have an organized TW with eNZ.
Also, eIre had absolutely no intention to start a war with eUK.
What Sluagh did was only a small asset from the colorful tool set of Diplomacy.
To tell you the truth, I would love to read more articles, but in case of such a writing I would not hesitate to get informed before publishing it, if I were you in order to avoid any inconvenience.
I answered your misguided attack in my article. Please educate yourself there.
I appreciate your motive to write, just for the record write informative articles in the future.
Endorsed just so you keep up writing.
Advice: Make a hot interview with someone from Government. Check the facts.
Voted, but you should probably know the facts before criticizing.

Useless.
Get the facts first.
Even with the most informed, qualified person as dictator, dictatorship doesn't work. A dictator has opinions, and always, their choices will affect the whole society, but represent only some. With a congress and democratic system, all are being represented. Even if the final decision is against some opinions, all were represented in the decision making process.
This
Your initial statement is easily disproved.
Dictatorship clearly does work. More than 1/2 the eNations are actively functioning dictatorships.
Even with the most informed, qualified person as CP, democracy doesn't work. A CP has opinions, and always, their choices will affect the whole society, but are only supported by some.
#notmypresident
That is the whole point. A CP can have opinions, everyone is like that. But, there is congress, and the CP represents the people, he is chosen by the majority, and he serves a 1 month term. The congress is also a large part of democracy. Congress is consisted of many people. Democracy exists as a balance. It gives no one person sole power. Congress represents all groups, all votes, not just one party, like a dictator.
In eRepublik, you only have a congress if you have regions.
So the CP just lets an enemy wipe eIreland and then he has all remaining power.
Our last 'democracy' drove all military players out of gov (and most out of country), and let Lithuania fully occupy us for months while they held mock congresses arguing over the constitutionality of reconstituting the constitution.
That is why we have a military dictatorship now.
KeetnaWilson from the tone of many of the above comments hope you now realise that the K75ts only want you writing articles that conform with their opinions and any deviation from this no matter how truthful will be a attacked.
So I hope you got the message clear
NO MORE WRITING ARTICLES THAT THE JUNTA DON'T APPROVE OF
K75ts? The heck are they?
talkin to yourself again winny i saw her first pal was you 🙂
I don't have multis RtK if you want report her...As I told you before Don is your expert on Multis if you need help but of course I doubt you do
i hear an echo can you speak in your own article keetna
I don't think that's the case at all. It was simply pointed out that he didn't really have the facts (he criticized us not winning the war with New Zealand for example). I think we are all happy to see him writing and taking an interest, it's only good for the country that he does.
NO MORE ARTICLES BASED ON BS, MORE FACTS AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
😁 that'd suit better.
Well I guess I should reply to this article seeming as it mentions me.
We weren't going to war, we were sending a message to the UK that we aren't happy with their new allegiance to Serbia. I've since spoken with their CP and MoFA and there is no threat to us from the UK. However if we were to go to war with them, I can assure you that we would win despite us being smaller, less MPP's etc.
As for the rest of the article, you were eBorn a month ago and have been inactive since with the exception of the past 2-3 days. You would not have the correct facts and nor have you looked for them. Before publishing articles that implicate people, look for comments surrounding areas you are concerned about, gather research and most importantly talk to more than one source to find your own middle ground. I can tell you that propaganda and bias exists in this game as it does in real life so walk slowly and find your own balance.
Other than that keep writing, slander me as much as you want but do come prepared with facts and your game face cause propaganda wars is the national sport of eIreland.
The Dublin commune is a group thread of the active citizens of our country. We need new active players. You should join it. Good man writing articles.
