Manifesto
Society
The strength of eIreland's future relies on new citizens. We shall seek ways to attract citizens and more importantly create incentives for people to stay in eIreland. It is not enough to simply ensure good wages we need to also ensure a good government, defense, health care and organization etc... We should continue informing new citizens and we should ensure that nobody is left behind in eIreland. Also, we believe in strength through unity and only together can this country move forward.
The Irish Union Party strongly believes in cooperation, not just between members but also between parties. There is no need for esteemed politicians to dispute with each other (after all, most want the same thing just said in a different way). We should acknowledge the merits of all politicians regardless of their party and should work together for the benefit of all our citizens. Sure, we will debate and disagree however we should not divide and fight. An eIreland where all citizens cooperate with each other may sound like a utopia however it is something which can be achieved.
Economy
It is very important that state companies provide jobs to new citizens, allowing them a fair wage, survivability and the necessary experience to advance. At the moment there is nothing seriously wrong with state companies (if it ain't broke don't fix it) however we will continue to seek new ways to improve upon what has already been done. Some of our members have even suggested various reforms to the current situation.
In regard to inflation, there is no quick fix to the current situation. Using state gold to make an intervention is not wise and we simply do not have the necessary funds to make such an intervention. Furthermore, there are third parties who could easily outspend the government, reducing our effectiveness even more and limiting what little options we have. The best thing we can do is combine our intellect and try and reach a consensus on how to deal with the current situation.
Foreign Policy
Ensuring that eIreland continues to talk with and engage with other nations is very important for our intelligence, defense and our foreign relations. Fostering good connections with as many countries as possible is something we should strive for and no country should be let mistaken as to what this great Isle stands for. We need to put ourselves out there and be assertive while offering fair and relevant taught on recent events.
Atlantis and PEACE have both used underhanded and appalling tactics in the past however it would be naive to simply dismiss the idea of joining either alliance. eIreland should remain neutral as long as no real argument is made to join either alliance. If situations change, eIreland should bind her time (without interference from outside influences) and make a rational choice on joining any alliance. The alliance in question should respect what we stand for and the ideals we have long protected. Suffice to say, our current MPP with the United Kingdom is fine for now and any additional alliance would be an unnecessary burden on our economy.
In past we were promised many times the IDF would be send abroad on peace keeping missions however talks always amounted to nothing. eIreland should not only promise to protect smaller nations around the new world however we should ensure we have an organized force ready to go at any call to ensure these promises are kept. Furthermore, we should sell weapons to small developing countries at a fair price with approval of our government and an agreement with the government in question. Our weapons should never be sold to war mongering countries like Indonesia. We are a freedom loving country (who have experienced a TO in the past) and it is our moral obligation to spread this ideal abroad and help other countries in peril.
The Irish Union Party firmly supports War Games and Nithraldur has done a great job in implementing and organizing them with the United States and Canada. War Games increase the military ranks and experience of our citizens as well as boost our economies productivity, the people’s general wellness level and might even attract more people.
Unity
The Irish Union Party firmly believes in middle ground politics, we embrace all political ideologies. Having but one ideology within a system prevents innovation and discourages any proper scrutiny or debate. In short, it is naive to believe one ideology is superior to all others. Furthermore, the economic, social and political situation in eRepublik is very much different to real life. It is impractical to try and implement one ideology in full in eRepublik. Thus, it makes more sense having citizens from across the political spectrum working together for the benefit of eIreland as a whole.
Government
We still firmly believe in a consensus driven government. This has been implemented in the past and it has proven to be effective in ruling out irrelevant bills and speeding up important ones. Furthermore, ministerial positions should be giving out based on merit and not any political affiliation. In the interest of transparency a budget should be released weekly, or at least ahead of a distribution, (after all, citizens deserve to know where their taxes are going) and the government should always engage with everyday citizens through the media.
