Anglo-phone and mono-culture lead to the local economic problems

    I think that the total anglicisation of Ireland's political culture by the US and UK, and almost entire ignorance of alternative economic and social models has been a primary cause for the difficulties economically in Ireland.

    Our political construct is skewed towards a feudal system that replicates the UK, centred around Dublin to the detriment of the rest of the country, but primarily the west of Ireland.

    Economically, our politicians followed systems that were primarily for countries with large populations that rely on constant churn at the bottom and a debt-fiat currency to lead to ever increasing inflation. Unfortunately Ireland does not have the energy or military resources to support itself like the UK and US does.

    So, instead of developing our country and systems that allow Ireland itself to be successful, they have laid the blueprint of military-industrial countries on top of an island of 4 million. They policies of FF for the past 15 years would be fine, if we had an army, 80 million people and oil wells around the world to prop up a currency and import-dominated economy.

    So, our problem is the cultural dependency and language simplicity of our entire country. None of the policies can work, unless we are 100% part of the UK. Therefore, change the policies to european ones, or change the country to a British one.

    Too much vague and try-hard superfluous language that fails to establish a clear point; military is mentioned too many times for a word of such little relevance to the UK financial engine in particular.

    For example, three basic issues here

    (i)What on earth do you intend to mean by 'rely on constant churn at the bottom'?.

    (ii)All currencies are fiat, including the Euro and the Swiss Franc.

    (iii) can you actually draw or establish some clear link between military and fiscal or economic policies, instead of using the vague, and pretty meaningless, language employed above?
