 There is no doubt we need change.
What we have is not fit for purpose.
Don't believe they could be any worse than the overpaid  dinosaurs we have Kildare Street.

Vote tonight could be the beginning of the end for the EU  https://www.watoday.com.au/world/europe/neo-fascist-blackmail-coward-europe-s-parliament-erupts-20180912-p5035x.html  If Orbanwins this vote Italy ,Poland and a few Independents from Germany might prevent the Council getting the majority it needs to sanction him if this happens then the Rule of Law in Europe is over turned .The long term for that is Brexit the Brits will get their deal Ireland will get our Hard Border and Leo will get the Bullett and the North will once again be involved in a Civil War .BIG BIG VOTE .S and Dollymount will be happy .

Yes the principle of Direct Democracy is good but this party are almost defunct, I was a member a few years ago, they are a one trick pony, no real policies other than wanting Direct Democracy.

In related news, the #Irexit Freedom Party have a much more detailed constitution that seeks to address a wider range of issues affecting Ireland as well as supporting the introduction of Direct Democracy and recall (being able to sack politicians who don't adhere to their mandate)

Addressing a wider range of issues will be it's downfall. It should learn from SNPs experience. Surely it wouldn't be difficult to win a few seats with a simple message i.e. we'll get rid of the immigrants?

Rat I had a chat with a member there last week,who seemed to well in with the top brass of the party.I was telling him my reasons for wanting Ireland out.he explained that the agenda of the party was the same,but they learned through the experience of others who tried to start similar partys that to go for the juggler just doesnt cut it with the Irish electorate.my sole reason for wanting Ireland out is,to remove any legal obligation we have to take them in in the first place.he explained that this was also the partys position,but felt I was going about it the wrong way

There must be a few constituencies with sufficient numbers of likeminded individuals among the electorate to take a seat. Maybe they should set up a splinter party with a more direct message? Has anyone suggested a split yet?

Going for the Juggler is like doing three things at once.

Spot on, same applies to the independents and that flute Shane Ross.
Considering how much they have blatantly fooked Ireland over I just can't get my head around why the Irish people have a pathological loyalty towards Fianna Fail and Fine Gael.

Truth is treason in the kingdom of lies. They'd be mad to go all out with the wrong language. If you want to lose a debate..start blaming others. Gerry Adams was a master at turning the audience against people who seemed to be attacking him. Steer clear of labels and name-calling. "Fordener" bashing is handing your opponent the victory.
