A Republic is a form of Govt. of the People , by the People and for the People.

We elect representatives to manage the affairs of State for the benefit of its native People, secure /defend its Borders and ensure the wellbeing, safety and security of the People.

To protect the People from a tyrannic or despotic, overarching Regime ,a Constitution has long been agreed by the Legislature, (Dail).

This form of democratic Govt has 3 separate independent layers to prevent abuse of Power.

The Executive,(Cabinet of senior Ministers), the Legislature (Dail), the Independent Judiciary, (with its layers of Disrict, High Court, Appeal Court and Supreme Court).

The Irish President has little executive power, but signs off on legislation presented to him by the Dail.

If there are doubts about a legislative Bills' constituitionality, the President can refer it to the Supreme Court for interrogation/debate and final legal decision.

Unfortunately, all these protective layers in Irelands Republic are usurped by the Political Party system.

The Party system has a Whip in each Party to ensure all Members vote in unison on any motion presented to the Dail by the Cabinet.

This Whip system can use threats of Party penalties, withdrawal of support. promotion opportunities, or even expulsion.

Other types of pressure are granting of various favors, inducements or blackmail.

We have seen these tactics, with the recent EU Migration Pact, the Hate Speech Bill, the Covid Lockdowns and Apartheid Passports.

Irelands Judicial appointments are in the fief of whichever Party is in Power.

It has taken a couple of decades .but they now have their men in place as a majority, especialy in the Supreme Court to wave thru any controversial Bill or obstruct any legal case that opposes the Regime.

All these were Bills were forced thru the Dail against the will of the People and with little debate.

The Constituition is the only brake on the Regimes' runaway reckless behaviour and its been its target to neutralise over the decades, with many Referenda pushed thru, using the massive Propaganda spin machine of RTE and legacy Media, with hidden agendas, obfuscated by legalese within the Bills.

Ireland is no longer a Democracy but a Tyrannical Dictatorship of a Cabinet Junta who abuse their power and suppress violently any Opposition to their program of Plantation Migration.

This cannot stand much longer and cannot be overcome by an Electoral process that the Regime controls and is easily manipulated in its favor.

The recent EU MEP results concluded with Regime candidates with little ability/popularity being successful, should give sentient observers pause for thought as to the credibility of that vote.

The point of Power is to use it, to stay in Power and all means fair, foul and criminal will be used.

The People of Ireland need to wake up, to the danger to their existence.

Ignorance ,naivety and trust have been our greatest weakness and been exploited cynically.

All has changed and the Regime are the Enemy of us all.

A baton on the bonce has woken many and injured more, and will continue until we remove these foul cretins that attempt to abuse us into submission.
