Look around you Ireland. What do you see?
I see an imperfect country. My home. A lack of roads being fixed, an increase in Landlords like @6976cd6b77dc49b8a4055c3e running our government, and the truly bizzare; lads supporting Dublin in the GAA. Not even Dubliners support Dublin in the GAA.
But beyond simply that, I have seen injustice, vitriol, bias, and corruption in the newly formed government of Ireland. With the removal of trusted paragons of Irish virtue, intelligence, and strength such as @69b03a0ee5230b35c2860968 who just today, was unceremoniously deposed from HIS positions as Minister.
How did this happen, you may ask?
Look no further, than the former, disgraced, so called president of Ireland, @68ec3d3dac0121ac917987f9, and his perhaps equally sad companions, @6976cd6b77dc49b8a4055c3e , and @6963e32a32bf6d2d97b9ddd7, who truly did all they could to cover and hide their biases, allowing the racist to live on amongst our growing community in game and Discord.
Boys, not men, who thrive on deceit and vitriol. 'Rag', as he is commonly known, would be most aptly compared to that of an infant who never quite left the year 2016 behind, where he could bathe in the depths of sad, depraved behaviours in peace with other, similar forms of 'humanity'.
Seeing his opportunity, once old allies rose to power, he returned, declaring his intent to run for congress earlied today.

To, as we all expected, absolutely no fanfair, and numerous clown emojis, started by yours truly.
And when confronted of his past behaviours, would you expect such an infant to apologise? Seek amends? I wouldn't. And nor should you. For not only did he double down on past behaviours, he added more to his growing, pitiful infamy.

The 'Old Guard' as @6976cd6b77dc49b8a4055c3e attempts to call it, unceremoniously grouping Irish legends such as @698d05589789b5cb628f88b8 , @69b03a0ee5230b35c2860968 , and @698d0d08b4d3fc6b6eecfa14 with them against their consent, of that I have no doubt, seeks to 'start fresh' with a new guard in government.
And on that, Keon, we most CERTAINLY agree.
And so, here I write my first article, to officially declare my candidacy for Congress. And my full intent to further ignite the spark that was lit earlier today, to, if necessary, begin a civil war.
I will always speak up against injustice. I will always be the first to rise, in spite of my pisstaking nature, I will always wear the colours of Ireland, and the label of an Irish man with fury, with righteousness, with respect for my home, and with love for its people. Then, now, forever, and always.
And yes, this is true, even when my voice is made silent by the tyrants that be...

And so concludes my expose, as it were.
And so concludes my express desire for transparency with the public community of WarEra.
I am here, and I will fix what ails Ireland.
I wish to embody all of what it means to be Irish, I have ran for positions of power consistently since joining this game. (Often, when drunk.)
And I have seen success, having been made a member of the UPI's Council... somehow.
But I see now what I was truly missing in all of my promises, beyond my express desire for truth, justice, and creamy pints of Beamish.
I haven't been to many funerals. An unforgivable act. Truly, I wish to say here and now that I solemnly swear, should I be voted into congress, I will devote myself entirely to funerals and roads, and of course, my age long promise to eradicate Cork.
I look around at my fellow congress hopefuls, and I wish them all the best of luck.
However, as soon as I finish slamming the 17 pints of Beamish sitting before me this evening, I give fair warning to the enemies of Ireland; I shall show no mercy.
Ar mhaithe le grá na hÉireann, agus Father Ted.
