I wouldn't be running either, except someone has to. I think you'd be a brilliant Independent, for the record. I know our alleged democracies are only dog and pony shows, and the real power rests elsewhere, but we still need to displace the puppets they control with real people.

Thanks a million Anne looking forward to seeing your podcast with Gerry. I went to the Social Democrats public meeting tonight, total set up. They completely ignored the elephant in the room in migration when speaking about the housing crisis. Holly Cairns is a complete simpleton all she could do was make faces at me when I approached her with logic. Rory Hearne was slightly more receptive he was agreeing with everything I said just to fob me off. I seen Irish ‘democracy’ first hand this evening. It’s scary to say the least. These ideological nutters can never be reached.

Heading for communism in an abusive state says it all. Though if you're going to vote you're not apolitical. You would have no say or interest in any politics if you were. Also I don't agree that the new parties are 'right wing', they're just right and strongly patriotic. I think the term 'right wing' is best left to RTE and other bought out propagandist media, and FF FG and the rest of them as they love to use the term to denigrate anyone Irish who loves and wants to fight to protect their own country and culture from descecration. The swing towards voting for Irish patriots is brilliant, and we now have more patriotic independents and parties to vote for than ever before. Thats exactly how I'll be voting too. Its the only hope and opportunity we all have to attempt to save our country and unique culture from total decimation and destruction.

I am apolitical. I’m just tactical. Right now we need to undo the mess that’s been created. How do you do that without the ability to draft legislation? I’m not an absolutist. I deal with what’s facing me right now and how it can be corrected. Sometimes you need to engage. But I have no fixed political ideology so will never align myself with any party.

I am more or less the same and I find myself voting this year to shift the balance.

It must not be forgotten that the Local Council Elections are open to all who reside in Ireland, legal or illegal. to have the right to Vote.

Minorities will use that opportunity to vote for their own interests by voting for an ethnic candidate.

Turn out at Local Elections is derisory ,in the region of the low 20%'s.

A candidate can achieve victory by a couple of hundred votes by strategic voting of his compatriots.

FG/FF are already using minority candidates to shore up their Party vote.

Ireland needs a good turn out to effect real change and send a message to the Regime.

Local Councils have Power in Housing allocation, Planning permissions and Licensing of businesses. They are also large employers in Municipal services.

Those who neglect their democracy, by not Voting, are destined to be ruled by fools, thieves and charlatans, (Plato, The Republic)
