Confusion, misconceptions and poles...

On the 1st of October I somehow managed to win the presidential election, which was great, and a huge shock. Like me, many people were wondering how, something which was soon resolved, in that IR had put all their votes onto me. Before the elections virtually everyone wished me luck, gave advice, and were generally friendly, no doubt saw me as not having a hope in hell of winning an election, However, I did win.
So some people have almost instantly turned tail, people I have spent months working with, talking to, discussing plans for improvement turn their friendliness into jealousy, attacks, and pure annoyance.
I didn’t expect to win the elections, I have never been president before, and never been part of a party which has held a mayor seat prior to my win in limerick, so I am somewhat flooded with new information now I am president, eRepublik really doesn’t make life easy either, virtually no documentation, and well as an example, trying to withdraw money for something like gifts, is like trying to withdraw a million from Halifax, not the most easy thing in the world to do.
So here I am trying to work out where the heck I am, trying to get used to all these things that Imanewbie, and other members of the previous government were working on, and might I say there is a heck of a lot of stuff! But I am slowly working through it. I’ve almost got my minsters ready to announce, ok should of had it done sooner, but I didn’t exactly expect to win, to be fair I don’t think anyone did.
I will run eIreland as best as a possibly can, I will ensure her safety and growth! And hopefully with the help of my ministers, congress and the rest of the citizens in eIreland we will grow a lot come v1. However I whatever happens I will not allow eIreland to be harmed, taken or destroyed due to anything we create for ourselves.
I hereby ask that all those with poles jammed up there rear ends due to me winning the presidential elections slowly remove them, and work with me rather than against me. Lets improve eIreland together, rather than spend a lot of wasted time being pathetic and attacking each other!
For a better eIreland!

Your last paragraph is a bit much.
I tried discussing things with you calmly on IRC and you started ripping into me.
we can improve eireland if u tell us what is going on and put important issues to a vote by congress
It was put to congress, last term...
there are many new members of congress this term
Legislation passed last term is still legislation passed
Which we should have have been told about.
Why did the previous government not inform the public of this treaty negotiations?
Also if it is to come into effect in this term, the current congress should have to ratify it and the public should be consulted.
so one more proof that Igor should not be allowed ever to run Ireland...
\"Why did the previous government not inform the public of this treaty negotiations?\"
That\'s how representative democracy works. We can\'t inform the public on foreign affairs like this, it\'s too risky with national security. Blame congressmen who never bothered to show up last term and work with their constituents, not us.
I am right in saying that you were a congressman?
The congressmen should have worked with their constituents but that does not rob you of all blame. Many people have legitimate concerns that they should have had an opportunity to voice.
Would it really have been so terrible to announce when the treaty was before congress or at least when it was agreed? The eIrish Public have a right to be informed about what their government is doing and for such decisions not to be taken behind their backs.
lol if some of the congressmen took their role seriously instead of thinking their cool then they would of signed up the the forums long before now and participated in the congress debates.
They certainly should have.
I think it is disgraceful that any public representative would not do their job.
The Irish Union Party is the only party whose congressmen are all registered on the forums.
\"I am right in saying that you were a congressman?

Yes but I was doing other things as MoFA as well so I didn\'t have the same amount of time as others. If you look I proposed the creation of a \"Speaker of Congress\" right wat the beginning of the month, whose job it would have been to keep activity up and keep congress functioning correctly, however that never took off because of the inactivity.
\"Many people have legitimate concerns that they should have had an opportunity to voice. \"
There is the public discussion forum where everyone can talk. We couldn\'t make the Canada treaty public because we didn\'t know how long Canada was going to take to accept it as well. It\'s a security issue, I\'m afraid not everyone can be privy to everything.
\"Would it really have been so terrible to announce when the treaty was before congress or at least when it was agreed?\"
No because again we didn\'t know how long it would take, again we can\'t have foreign affairs information available to everyone for weeks.
\"The eIrish Public have a right to be informed about what their government is doing and for such decisions not to be taken behind their backs.\"
Again, foreign affairs is a security issue. Everything else is available to the public, but hardly any congressmen did anything, so there wasn\'t anything in public because nothing existed.
I\'ll say it again. If you want to revoke the treaty call a vote in congress. A re-vote for legislation already passed is not needed and will not happen.
