Six hundred thousand Irish people are either unemployed or have emigrated to Australia, Canada, the USA, New Zealand, or the UK. If we estimate that each of those individuals are part of a family of at least three adults then there are at a very minium 1.8 million voters suffering horribly as a result of the Fianna Fail government's policies. If we add to that the attacks on the blind, the sick, the disabled, the handicapped and disabled children, pensioners and the homeless there are well over 2 million voters directly damaged by this outgoing government. Wouldn't you think that with a total population of only 3.8 million then it would be impossible for Ireland to elect the same again? Another right wing capitalist regime who's first priority will be to protect the rich. But on Monday 28th February Enda Kenny will lead Ireland for the next five years. His Fine Gael party is a right wing protectorate for banks, the wealthy, big farmers, industrialists, foreign bond holders etc. But the Irish people only have themselves to blame for what they are about to inflict on their own country over the next 72 hours. They have a choice of a left wing alliance of political representatives or a right wing alliance of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail. The Irish people will vote 55% right wing FG/FF and 20% right of centre Labour. And they are looking for change? Loose change is all they'll get. If the IMF feels like throwing a few cents to them!!
The Catholic Church in Ireland yesterday warned that there will be violence in the streets if the new government do not address the "bonus culture" and vast inequalites in Irish society. Even though Fine Gael has been chosen to run the country for the next five years that doesn't mean Cairo could not happen in Dublin in six months time. That's how long I think Enda's got to start taking a cut off the rich. I don't usually respect much the Roman church have to say. But they got it right this time. Six months till doomsday.
