The war on home-ownership, like the war on the family, will have devastating consequences going forward, as people reach pension age without the security of loved ones or the dignity of a roof over their heads. The outcome of a system which is anti-human, anti-national, anti-family and anti-life.

As usual, the National Party is a lightning rod for smears and claims of lying which in truth are directed at the locals of Kinnegad. The tabloid media and the state are more interested in running cover for the asylum racket than they are in amplifying the concerns of ordinary Irish people. We have reached the point, as in other countries, where the accusation of racism nullifies your legal rights. As long as politicians cower before such words, Ireland is consigned to a two-tier justice system backed up by a lying press. Like so many of our ancestors we live under a polical and legal system that is explicitly anti-Irish. As the old song goes, "The shamrock is forbid by law to grow on Irish ground."

The moral ascendency of the electoral form is bewildering. The form that elects a government in Britain, as it is, would elect an entirely different government in Ireland than the one we have. Not to mention that the whole party political eco-system is framed by the electoral form. Britain would likely have 50 parties in Parliament under our form and Ireland might conceivably have only two represented in the Dail.

The Germans don’t allow referendums as a “fascist device”, here we insist on them.

If there is to be a moral affirmation of governmental authority it would need to be on better ground than scraps of numbered paper, clearly? The will of the people expressed through the ballot? It’s an interesting idea that may be tried some time, we’ve not so far seen it. Government is always by will of the people even if that will is coerced through fear or violence or the fear of violence, but the enthusiastic consent of the governed is called populism and derided by our intelligentsia. There is no great high ground to be staked out on fear and loathing.

The will of the people can neither be found on nor ascertained by ballot. Let us then call it what it is, a compromise, and a delicate one. It is the reluctant agreement by both sides of a given question to be bound by a count on the basis that the alternative is deemed worse, and the alternative is certain violence inflicted by government on the people or by the people on each other. And that fragile compromise is fraying. It is fraying precisely because having staked itself on moral ground the ever increasingly immoral results are taking their toll on the agreement because the alternative might not be worse. The abortion referendum may be cited, the vote did not prevent but caused the violence.

And what about if the electoral door is barred altogether? It is partially barred already by a media paper and sound curtain. It will further be barred by legislation criminalising what we need to say to get elected. How much forbearance can reasonably be expected? As a practical question perhaps a lot will be needed, but as a moral one?

Perhaps we are not looking for a majority so much after all, but as Richard Weaver wrote “We are looking for a place where a successful stand may be made for the logos against modern barbarism.”
Then we can have a vote.

Government agrees to a higher 25% cut in Agri carbon emissions that will decimate the Irish agricultural sector undermining food production capacity at a time when global food scarcity is a real prospect because of the ongoing War in Ukraine, international sanctions on Russian fertiliser and grain and an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in Australia that effectively shuts down Australian beef and sheepmeat exports.

This will result in a cull in the National suckler and dairy herds resulting in job losses throughout Rural Ireland coupled with increased consumer food prices at a time when the official CPI inflation rate is in excess of 9%.

“Farmers cannot put up with more anti-rural policies”, says James Reynolds
James Reynolds, Longford-Westmeath Representative of the National Party, has slammed the Government’s plans to sell out Irish farmers once again in the face of the demands of new EU policy. In response to the growing anger in rural Ireland at the government’s policy of setting a carbon budget ceiling for agriculture, Reynolds said:
“The two major parties in Government, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, are regularly acquiescing to irrational demands of the Dublin-centric Green Party. The most recent stand-off over rural backbench Government TDs and discredited farming organisations like the IFA on one side and the Government on the other has led to a temporary compromise resolution allowing for a lower short-term emissions target to be set than originally envisioned, but with the caveat that it could be raised in due course. But this is simply a stay-on-execution for Irish farmers.

“The Government are totally committed to the EU’s Green Deal and its carbon emissions reduction policy which will inflict a hammer blow on Irish family farming, criminalise by stealth traditional family turf cutting and do irreparable damage to the livelihoods and lifestyles of Irish rural communities.

“Rural communities and most importantly its voters should not be fooled by Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael on this matter, whilst the left and its fellow travellers are not the friend of farmers either. A new policy direction must emerge which does not treat farmers with contempt, but which realises the rising costs and inputs that are strangling the family farm.

“The two major parties of Government have been enabled by the Green Party to inflict a destructive policy on rural Ireland and the family farm by allowing the Green Party to act as a lightning rod for rightful criticism. But truth be told, both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael were already intent on implementing this harmful anti-rural policy due to EU commitments. This should not be forgotten by Irish voters at the next set of elections.”
