Thursday
This is an interesting video (thanks Marcus). If you can’t watch it all (it’s long), then watch the first 30mins or so -definitely don’t miss from around the 27min – 30 min mark. That point, which is rather disturbing, is not what I am going to address here.
My focus is earlier on in the video where the point is made that we can easily take control of our councils. We still are in a democracy; the problem is that because of citizen apathy, it is a democracy in name only. The people are not being represented.
Those who enter politics, even at the local level, are, generally speaking, self-serving ratbags who are in it for money, power or prestige. We need to stop electing such low life. What sort of person wishes to spend their life telling other people how to live theirs?
It does not require a party structure, but it does require a set of principles – beginning with the full application of the law for dishonesty in public office.
Then, and this is where I differ from what is recommended in the video, someone needs to be approached and cajoled into standing. We do not want the type who are keen to stand; we know how they are going to turn out. We need reluctant candidates who know that they have better things to do with their life, but who will eventually succumb to an appeal to their sense of duty.
This does not just apply to Ireland. All democracies are in the mess that they are because we the people have allowed it to be so. We have gone along with the idiots who prattle on about transgender rights (who gives a f#$&?), racial issues (made up), gender fluidity (duh) and the ubiquitous feminist claptrap.
That is not good enough. If we take back our towns and cities, the national governments will fall into line.
The weird ‘progressive’ agenda is supported by, at most, 5{781366457d9c05ca9285c5eb3e04ac75968647e24436986cab65f74e6f4b3aad} of the population. Most people are decent and hardworking and have the common sense to know that a baby born with a willy is a boy.
If people stand on a principled and sensible, well communicated, platform, and are able and willing to print literate pamphlets and knock on doors, then they will be elected. People are desperate for the option of a decent and sensible people that they can vote for – especially at the local level.
The one lesson that can be taken from the success of the ‘Progressive’ leftists is that change comes from the bottom and works its way up. Take the councils and the national governments will become saner very quickly.
The corruption and destructive tomfoolery of political life in the West is endemic. It can be stopped. It just takes a bit of organising and some foot-slogging volunteers.
You, yes you, can make it happen.
