To some he was seen as a 'collaborator' as he worked for years within the Irish political system, but he never compromised on his ethics while he did so.\\\

* ContemptCrossfire: Despite being Protestant and acknowledging Ireland's discrimination of his faith, O'Neill advocated peaceful options over the violent terrorist attacks initiated by Twomey and Paisley. However, this pacifistic approach won him no friends in the Irish political system, as some accused him of being a collaborator. [[spoiler:Fortunately, if the Good Friday Agreement is signed, his belief will not only be vindicated, but his credibility among both Catholics and Protestants makes him a natural choice to lead Northern Ireland's rehabilitation.]]

->'''Ideology:''' Christian Progressivism[[note]]Progressivism[[/note]]
->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Brendan Corish is a politician who does not enjoy politics. He views it as a struggle each day, each debate is a hurdle, and each bill is a feat of endurance, but it is all necessary in the battle for the working man. Like other TDs, he inherited his seat from his father, but one who was not content on maintaining it through constituency work. Earning twin reputations as both a conservative Catholic and a social reformer, he proved to be a valid heir to rule the Labour Party.\\\
Today, the word that defines him is "compromise". It was compromise that brought him into a coalition with Fianna Fáil and according to his critics, that is all he can do now. Labour proposals find themselves trampled under the reign of the Lemassite machine as party officials are left with scraps to appease them when it comes to legislation. This is not what Corish envisioned when they came to power, and if it continues, something will have to break.[[/labelnote]]
----
* TheChainsOfCommanding: According to his teased biography, Corish does not enjoy politics or being head of the Labour Party, but he accepts the duty because the working men of Ireland need someone like him to represent their interests.
* GoldenMeanFallacy: Corish has often compromised on his proposed reforms within the Fianna Fáil. Unfortunately, his teased biography mentions that this has greatly watered down important legislation that could have made more substantial gains for the masses. Unless the Lemassite system is broken, Corish's dream will remain stalled and incomplete.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Brendan is a member of the Labour Party, having shared the same politics and inherited the seat from his father, Richard.

Nonetheless, many privately have deep reservations about Maudling's carefree attitude when it comes to such things, and whilst it may make him very popular, it may very well be sowing the seeds of his own destruction.[[/labelnote]]

With a lineage going back to the moderately nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party, it is seen as the arch-enemy of Fianna Fáil. Catering for the middle-class, upper-class, and those farmers not swayed by Fianna Fáil, it is considered the respectable alternative to populist demagoguery.\\\
After an influx of Fianna Fáil liberals into the party, it is no longer divided into liberals and conservatives but is now beset by a growing middle ground. While united by a devotion to law, order, and Western democratic principles, it finds itself experiencing difficulty in achieving these ideals, with Jack Lynch and his moderates increasingly acting as the kingmaker in these arguments.[[/note]]

An heir to the revolution, George Colley sees the modern world approaching but believes that tradition must not be sacrificed wholesale to embrace it. He and his moderates believe a synthesis can be reached, that while the dream of economic nationalism may be dead, Irish culture can still be preserved. Ireland will march to the future - but at a pace suitable for Fianna Fáil.[[/note]]

->'''Party:''' Fianna Fáil - Nationalists[[note]]Soldiers of Destiny[[/note]]Destiny: Fianna Fáil exists in a contradiction. It is a party that fiercely sports revolutionary rhetoric, but its existence was an invention of pragmatism. Its party ranks and voter base comprise working-class men and women, but its policies serve a wealthy conservative establishment. It prides itself on nationalism but is increasingly economically trapped by a foreign power.\\\
To Boland and his nationalists, there are no contradictions. If Fianna Fáil is the party that represents Ireland's interests, then everything it has done was righteous. Lemass may have led the party astray with his notions, but it was only a temporary setback to the Republican Revolution. The revolution will return to Fianna Fáil, and with it, all of Ireland, no matter what the West Brits say.[[/note]]

* ShockingDefeatLegacy: An overarching theme of the collaborators is coping with the fact that Britain's time as a global power is long over. The British Empire used to be ''the'' largest human empire in history, whose reach was so extensive that it was famed as the empire on which the sun never sets. But, with most of their colonies seized by the Axis Powers and facing subjugation in Operation Sea Lion, Britain has been reduced to a mere nation-state and many British nationalists are still sore about it. The destruction of their empire and the disillusionment that followed is why some, like Fountaine, defected to collaboration with Germany and many Old Guard politicians still clamor about their past glory.
