We need a new right-leaning Anti-EU/IMF political party

[Eric Cartman]

We need a party that will:

Default and re-structure on this country's debts incurred due to the disastrous 2008 Bank Guarantee and subsequent bank bailout. We ought to honor our truly sovereign debt. No socialization of private debts. Let the market take its natural course: debt-for-equity-swaps for the bond-holders.

We need to balance our budget: sweeping cuts in public sector & semi-state workers' pay and pensions and far-reaching changes in work practices.

If the unions resist, then privatization of public services ought to be considered (perhaps temporarily). The Defense Forces should be mobilized to keep the ESB, public transport and essential services functioning in the event of a General Strike. There are plenty of unemployed workers (including those with technical qualifications e.g. electricians) that would gladly work for a reasonable wage. Let the F.F.-voting public sector pay for their continued support for F.F. 1997-2007.

Key semi-state companies, particularly those with strategic value should not be flogged for a fraction of their real worth (particularly to pay off vulture capitalist firms): but perhaps private operators could be hired to manage their services (or parts thereof). Think of the LUAS (managed by Veolia by owned by the Railway Procurement Authority i.e. publicly-owned).

Roll back the cultural Marxism of the EU.

Realistic policies on immigration. We genuinely need highly skilled foreign workers with professional qualifications, particularly in academia and the high-tech sector. Think Google, Big Pharma. But we do not need low-skills immigrants. No idiotic "open-borders" regime: deportation of failed asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. We should reconsider the legal status of the those that came here under dubious pretenses, but we granted leave-to-remain for one reason or another. Any non-EU/EEA national here not a refugee ought to be assessed and deportation considered in many instances (long-term unemployed, work record, criminal record, dependents).

More diversity in education sector: but parental choice is paramount. That means a new funding regime that reflects demand. I would suggest "school vouchers": parental choice would drive demand for schools of a particular ethos. The schools would manage its wages etc according to its budget: as determined by demand.

So we have three left wing anti-EU/IMF parties, SF/ULA and PBP, not to mention SWP?

Now you think we need a right wing version too?

Is this for reasons of political balance?

(Silly thread)

[Munnkeyman]

Right, off with you so. Set it up and come back and tell us all about it. Good luck.

[Spirit Of Newgrange]

you can be confident that the multiculturalists who dominate our broadcasting and print media will not allow the wishes of the irish people get in the way of their collective one-world hug-in.
.
Dublin airport is full of irish people leaving and foreigners arriving ( and incidentally, why are there SO MANY foreigners with irish passports ? )

Oh Christ, here we go.

[Astral Peaks]

Just re-read the OP and realised that a whole chunk of it is the usual anti-immigrant BS that you spout here, so is this new party of yours going to be a Le Pen style NF in disguise?

Are you getting ready to go out and shoot some Norwegian teenagers?

[Dreaded_Estate]

Doesn't sound like a party that would get more than 3% nationally.

Quit posting after drinking vodka. It makes your posts even sillier than normal.

Well set on up then instead of perpetually whinging on here.
