The joke is that the media keeps going on and on about how
Ireland needs a new political party. On TV we've had Ben Gilroy on with
Declan Ganley where they go on asking Ganley if he will run because we need a
new political party while Ben is sitting on the same panel.
We have
the media tripping all over themselves asking the Reform Alliance if they are
intending to create a new political party, while DDI has announced its
existence.
Remember they would prefer to promote Lucinda Creighton, who
is part of the "Status Quo", to leads Ireland's so called need for
political reform.
Remember like Enda Kenny, Lucinda has been a Vice
President of the European Peoples Party (EPP), the main architects of the
highly undemocratic European Union, whose EPP vision for Ireland, currently
being implemented by Enda Kenny and team, is not necessarily what the Irish
people themselves want for Ireland.
Why does the reform alliance need to
listen to the Irish people in the RDS?
Could it be the easy way to find out
what we are thinking instead of going door to door getting lectured for
campaign promises and lies while ruining your 300 euro Gucci designer
shoes?
Could it be that they are just looking for new "Campaign
Rhetoric" so their speech writers can write the perfect speeches and get
the Fine Gael / Labour "Say One Thing Do Another" politicians elected
for another 5 years.
Have they suddenly found their hearts and really
care now? From my point of view it’s another highly paid crafty professional PR
spin doctor strategy and media stunt to sway the public and control the
narrative for change, without DDI leading the charge.
I think we are
being duped again.
When was the last time you heard a real in depth
discussion of Direct Democracy (DD) in the Irish mainstream media? They know
that DD threatens the “Status Quo”; it threatens the old way of doing business
like cronyism, brown envelopes and offshore bank accounts. I think
intuitively they know it will completely reform the Irish political
system.
Let’s see how long it takes for the "Say One Thing Do
Another" politicians to jump on the DD band wagon when they see that
including DD in their speeches can win votes.
Don’t believe them.
For them, it’s more campaign rhetoric as a strategy to win, with no intention
of follow through.
Do not vote for them.
It is like a dysfunctional
relationship or a bad marriage ending in divorce. You will regret it if you
do. They’ve had almost 100 years to prove themselves and nothing has
changed, it ends up always being “Say One Thing Do Another”.
I think it was Albert
Einstein who defined insanity as being those who are “doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting different results”.
