Lukezo:
1 I wanted to give a contribution back to Ireland and help out abit more then I was already. I'd like to help with foreign affairs and internal affairs, something that I wish to pursue in real life one day as I have an interest with politics. It's just a shame that it's not that great on e-sim.
2 This is my first term, and hopefully one of many. I haven't made an important contribution yet!
3 To advance myself and my cause in order to allow myself to be voted back in. Once this happens, I can have my full potential unleashed (though you can't do much on e-sim) and begin to propose ideas of which could be considered beneficial to Ireland.
4 Right. Fiscally conservative. Socially liberal. So liberal-conservative I guess!
5 I'd like to have them drop me a PM! If they think that something is going wrong, drop me a PM and I'll try and sort it out and discuss it with other congress members. If I agree with it, I'll push for it. I have been using the shout-feed, I'm on IRC and I'm a friendly guy so just drop me a PM/come to talk to me and we'll have a nice chat! Don't be scared, it's just e-sim and you won't ever meet me in real life!
6 To advance BBP as a party, thats the main focus of my group currently. My focus is to advance myself, but the party comes first.. in some cases!
Rafor:
1. Well my experience plus that I am an active person in the game made me run for congress.Also I think that I can help Ireland in multiple ways.
2.This isn't my first term in congress.I had another 4 terms if I am right.(or 3 )
3.I dont have something in priority.I am here for every citizen that needs my help in any section.
4.My politically is center-left . I prefer center mostly because it is not based in titles as patriot for example but in every problem tries to find the best possible solution.
5.Unfortunatelly there are not many active citizens in Ire and all of us know that.I would like seeing them writing some articles or maybe contact us via pm.
Gagar:
1. I was always fond of the political module of the game and this month that i will be active i would like to help as much as i can e-Ireland
2. It is my second time in Ireland and due to innactivity of the whole goverment in my previous term (a couple of months ago) i wasnt able to contribute as much as i wanted.
3. To be alert for the citizenships given and try to help as much as i can the Irish goverment.
4. I consider my self left side. Inside the game there aren't many options for political differentiation throught far left or left parties and politics.
5. Through the forum and shout system i will try to collaborate and use any means to help our people.
6. I haven't got in mind some political committee but i will be glad to help and join any of them that suits Ireland's best interests.
Mijo:
i wanted to be in congress to stop nonsence laws
Xerox:
Well i have been in congress since the start of e-Ireland, i was in multiple positions in Ireland , even a CP. What actualy made me run for the congress is the stability of the government which is needed, and i try to take that in with me. My priority this term is as always uniting the nation, steady economic growth and good relationships with alliance.
This is not that easy to do just being a congress man, but my contacts and so on, always stands as a diplomatic for Ireland. My plans are just to keep up the Ireland united, as we are small growing nation, we need stability.
Hitman PA:
1. I want to change the situation in the country and to liberate Ireland.
2. I served five terms, and this is my second term in Ireland. I contributed a lot like the regulation of Congress, the preparation of some MPP and so on. In Ireland, I will contribute in next period.
3. Organize Congress and recover all the terriotories to Ireland.
4. Both ideas have advantages and disadvantages and therefore center!
5. I'll be in constant touch with the people through newspapers, chat and other forms of communication. The people and the Government must always work together. Without it no success.
6. My goal is to unite Ireland, to all be together in one organization (I would not call it a political group) but this is a difficult task.

Jinjo:
1. My aim was and is it to help to create a more social government by representing the opinions of our citizens and try to increase our economy, that's why I wanted to run for congress.
2.This is my first term and I'm very impressed that the people had realized what the aim of the BBP is.
3. My priority is to build up a more social economic base up, not for a more capitalistic way but a way which leads to social equity, where everybody can profit. There is also the debate about Shannon and our other regions, I read about the profit we make with the deal renting Shannon to UK, but I couldn't resist, I want to change the situation, we must invest and as government we must create companys and only when we stop saving money, our economy will start to grow. The aim is to build more companys and then we will get more revenue, as long as we stay in this situation the people will start to resist and this should only the last thing we can do!
4. I see my self as an more direct left-wing member, so I mean change the situation more directly, stand for the rights of the people and create a more socialist community which dresses the way for an equitable society!
5. In the moment I don't have such a plan, but I think it could be a great asset to have a better control of our different sectors. What must be implanted is in my opinion a comittee for social economics, so a state financed comittee which uses the new Stock Market to invest gold and to allocate the revenue to the citizens or to build up new companys to create new working places. But we must also improve the communication between government and citizens, so such a comitte would be also great. But this plan only can be realized after a period of time, perhaps if the BBP gets more votes, because we stand for the change and for our country!
Seanan:
1 I'm a lesser devil.
2 My 4th term. Not letting in PTOers, voting on proposals with sense and generally resisting the urges of roleplayers to mess around with the country.
3 Making sIreland a more attractive country to join.
4 Vertically, if I can help it.
