What is your ideal political party? Is there anyone who matches this?

A whole government of Eamon Ryans, my fantasy.

Seriously though this is a confusing post OP. You start off with the usual anti welfare/single mother stuff and then do a total U turn with the congestion charges and pro cycling stuff. Never seen that before.

What is Micheal Martin's opinion on dogging?

A political party that will look out for my nation's needs, its cultural heritage and the current/long term well-being for its own citizens. The people that ultimately fund the whole nation.

No, there is absolutely no political party that matches anything I just described.

The were infiltrated by a "law and order" party already. They were called Blueshirts 😁

Renua minus the abortion policy would not be far off the mark. Then again I am not sure they would have that many headline policies left..

lol So you can tell me what I meant exactly is it? G'way ta f**k, I'm not anti immigration actually, but seeing as how you are on some pathetic judgmental high horse that knows different without any evidence, ride the f**k on

If such a party existed, it would exist for you and you alone.

I'm not sure you understand the whole party thing. By all means correct me if I am wrong.

I think you should take those points you laid out and search through each party's manifestos to see which align with yours.

Then you can chose to vote for the party that you most identify with or not. Great thing about this is, you don't have to. You make the choice.

Now, there is one thing that we should not forget about with respect to your first point and that is the free-rider phenomenon.

Roughly speaking, in many cases some of the population will be free-riders: either they don't pay for it or they abuse it.

For example. Street lighting. Everyone uses street lighting but do we all pay for it? Now, what if the person taking advantage of the street lighting is a tourist and has never contributed to the cost of the street lighting in this country? Are we to forbid this person walking the streets at night?

It would be preposterous to suggest that tourists pay, so essentially they are riding free on our street lighting network.

99 percent of the population will respect and use the street lights as intended but there will be some who want to smash them for drawing light on their activity or who may use a street light outside their bedroom window to dress by and not use their own elctricity. There will always be Free-riders.

And the Free-Rider scenario is applicable right across the board for every facet of society, be it, welfare, roads, parks, lighting, health etc etc etc etc.

Your second point was handled well by Brussels Sprout and the rest of your points are populism at their core. I would like to hear how this "political party" will go about solving the problems not just embark on a marketing campaign telling us - the voters - what we already know. like, we know we need to increase public transport. But tell me this. How are we going to increase public transport?

Yes,

Your whole suggestion is ridiculous tbh.

The Irish people are the ultimate arbiter of our own culture. We have our own culture. We are the custodians of it, we are the ones that have to look after it. In my own cultural work I have unfortunately seen that custodianship completely wither away, and I don't like it. I don't like the way it has gone, let alone where it is going. I see it as detrimental to our own self survival in some respects. This is our country, and we are an island, we should utilise our centuries old island culture to our own indigenous benefit, rather than throw it out for a few bags of digital beans or dollars or whatever else. At least keep some small semblance of it, if nothing else. There is nothing wrong with wanting that, despite what some might have you believe.

Oh dear, I know I said there was an option not to vote - I probably should have written that line better. I feel the need to clarify that I recommend that everyone with a vote votes.
