You need a multi-party system for democracy and history has shown us that. Really it's like everything, you need competition. |
If a one party state is a dictatorship then we are already there. At least with my suggestion we can stop pretending that there is an opposition and get on with trying to exert change where it can be felt, i.e. in
FF.
Watching George Lee on Pat Kenny last night and listening to some of the excellent comments from the audience made me realise how
FG are just
FF without even the responsibility of power. Lee left because none of the red-faced sh1tbags in the Dail do a stroke and he couldn't take it anymore. The current system ensures that change is IMPOSSIBLE. The mainstream of
FG wants real change in Irish politics as much as
FF does.
The corrupt FFers have nothing to laugh about with Lee's departure. Everything that shows to the public how rotten our system is, is a nail in the coffin for all the civil war obsessed drunks around the country pretending to run a country when in fact they take a couple of calls a day from constituents looking for planning permission. The whole thing needs to be pulled apart and wrecking
FF from the inside of one sure way.
