Presidential Election

Day 317, 11:17 • Published in Ireland Ireland

• by Igor Thunderbrow

Daoine na hÉireann,

I think that you will all agree that we have just witnessed a fantastic election. Three different candidates led at three different times, how different from our other recent elections where one candidate dominated over all others.

While I cannot honestly say that I am not disappointed, I wish to congratulate 5n4keyes on winning the presidency. I wish him all the best in his new position.

I also wish to announce that the Irish Union Party, being the second biggest party in congress, will be now taking a very active role in congressional matters and I for one cannot wait for my first term as congressman.

Anyway, a million thanks to everyone who voted for me. If I am still in a position to do so, I hope to challenge for the presidency again next month.

In many ways the presidential election was a great success for the Irish Union Party. We almost doubled our congressional tally and seriously challenged in the presidential race. In all my time in eRepublik, the IUP has never had such a successful General Election.

Again, thanks for the great support,

Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir.
Igor Thunderbrow,
President of The Irish Union Party

\"I hope to challenge for the presidency again next year.\"

I hope you mean next Month. 😛

It was an exciting election and the build up wasn\'t bad either. It\'ll be interesting to see what happens this month. Will IF stick with Quatermass or will they roll the dice and take a chance on another Candidate? Same with IUP.

Will IRSP\'s new leader take them forward? Will Fianna Fáil revive fortunes? Will Vyse actually stay active this month? Who knows.

Well I hope that the IUP do not roll the dice!!
It will of course all be down to the members.

I personally hope that IF do however, I am not a fan of Quater...

and Merolk will not continue as leader of IRSP. Apparently he wants either Mulligan or Thomas Page to lead.

also, FF is dead with little hope of revising.

oh, and yes, I mean next month....

\"FF is dead with little hope of revising.\"

Don\'t be so sure of that. Dead parties in Ireland are usually hunting grounds for people not willing to pay the 40 Gold Party Creation.

That as it may be, but it will not really be FF the will it?

Maybe I should say I am disatisfied with IUP and resurect FF ?

No thats too crazy something like that has never been done before.

Merolk Day 317, 13:06

Igor:That as it may be, but it will not really be FF the will it?

Well, there are only 6 parties in Ireland, and FF is the only really inactive one. So it\'s the biggest chance someone will try to become party leader in FF.

@Patton: Do it...AGAIN! 😃

I am just saying that it will not be the FF that we knew and loved (or hated as the case may be).

I am sure that someone will try and ressurect the party at some point but I think that we can expect a name change akin to the ICA-IRSP one to suite whoever takes over. FF was based a bit too much on RL politics...

Merolk Day 317, 16:05

Yeah, you\'re probably right about that. Let\'s just hope there will be a serious and experienced person that will revive the party.
