Good afternoon,
In just a few hours we will be facing the party presidential elections all over the eWorld, this is a time when people organize to keep parties from being overran by political opposition, when people strive for a voice in their nations, when the future of many nations is decided in a single day.
Many are the candidates for the office of party president. I am one of them.
I am seeking the office of party president of the Irish Independence Party, a party which has been around for quite a while.
The party has had its ups and downs throughout its time, however, never has it been very stable.
A party needs stability to be able to function properly and prosper.
The Irish Independence Party has for far too long jumped between being a hotshot party to just a few days afterwards being nullified. I am willing to change that.
I believe that this party holds great potential, and that it without any doubt can rise to being the number one political force in Ireland, and stay there.
Our party has many members with great potential, many members ready to take on responsibility, many members ready to carve our path to success.
However, there is a problem.
Our members do not realize their potential, they do not realize the potential of our party, of our community, the strength that we together hold.
This problem is everywhere these days, wherever you turn, you see inactivity and doubts.
However, there is a solution.
I believe that if one person realizes the amount of potential the group holds, he can influence the others, he can make them realize the potential of the group.
All this party needs is a leader. A leader willing to lead the party, a leader willing to put effort into the party, a leader willing to organize the party.
Should I get elected, I promise to do my best to enact the following:
* Articles are to be published from the party in order to gain more members and to inform the public about our party.
* Messages shall be sent out to each and every party member with advice, help and offers to help the party, and through that Ireland, grow in activity, numbers and strength.
* I promise to create an official party IRC channel. It is my fair belief that IRC is a simple and effective way for quick communication and easy entertainment between people, and I therefore believe our party might have use for it.
* I will refer people to join us on our party forums, which are to be found in the eIrish national forums, http://eireland.createaforum.com/index.php , where discussions between party members will be held regarding our for example candidate for president, our congressional elections etc.
* Message all party members regarding the congressional elections to encourage our members to run for congress. I will organize the elections by referring citizens to run in certain regions etc. An article regarding the issue shall also be published.
With Reinhard von Lohengramm assisting me as Vice Party President, I believe we can lead this party to glory.
Vote for ChewChewShoe in the Irish Independence Party on the 15:th for a stronger party, and a stronger Ireland!
Signed,

Independent parties are perhaps the most vulnerable to take overs. Independent politics is a delicate business. I'm not a member of IIP, and I don't have any reason to doubt anyone's intentions, but there's certainly something to be taken over.
@Kolshire: is glorious
@Ian: Well, I most certainly have no intention in changing the party name, orientation etc.
Good luck!
Voted, this svede has ireland in his heart
Question, the one power a PP has is deciding who to support for CP. Last month James had a vote to decide who the party should support. How will you decide who the party should support?
By popular vote, Moo.
Good Luck Chew, thanks for the quick anwser.
I hate you chewie.
Good luck.
@Ian Could be argued Independent parties are at the least risk, as long as the person running as no intention of changing the independent stance, anyone can lead those sort of parties by not changing anything, as the members are not a cohort a single belief. Or "independent" is miss leading.
As long as there's no vote management, you have my support.
@Seanan That could be argued sure, but the way I see it "independent" in the IIP's sense, is the most difficult kind of independent to uphold. You also have parties like Independent Labour Party, I don't think they claim to be independent at all in the same sense. But the way I would argue, is that PPs have a tendency to want to put their stamp on a party, and with a truly independent party the key to being a good CP is really to reframe from exercising any political power on behalf of the people that you're trying hard to not represent. An independent political party can almost accidentally be taken over.
Well tbh the term Independent Party is a contradiction in itself.
A truly Independent Party who properly respected all of their members Independence, would not support anyone ingame for Country President under one banner as a party, which IIP does every month. The game mechanics do not allow for Independent Candidates(candidates who want to run under no party) and I just don't see why someone who wants to be Independent needs to be in a big party with loads of other Independents. They could easily run under ANY party and still be open about their Independence.
In e-Ireland, Independent parties have certainly gotten involved politically and they certainly have drawn people who agree with each other on a lot of issues. That just makes them the same as any other party really.
@irishbhoy I agree, supporting a political candidate really doesn't line up with the concept of an "independent party". At the same time I think there's an understanding in most party's that there's really no pressure to vote the party line. All that political party's really are is an image, idea, or community that a person buys into. People who run with the independent party want to be able to run politically without associating with any real political party I assume - and they don't just want to act as an independent, they want to be advertised as one too. I think the biggest problem is really just the way political party's are set up in this game. To start with what does left-center-right-authoritarian-totalitarian-libertarian-anarchist --- really mean in eRep? Nothing honestly.
Yep can't argue with any of your points Ian.
Holy Crap, a respectful debate in eIreland...
Shut up Fredo
