Oh right, nobody on boards supports the national party. lmao
I think it's because if you don't agree with them being attacked your with them. To me you just leave them alone and not give them free publicity. Bring head clown onto RTE so they make a fool of themselves job done.
I haven’t ever seen anyone on here claim loyalty to the National Party. I’m sure you’ll be able to post some examples and you haven’t just made that up.
What NP loyalists ? Care to point out the posts I can wait.
So the NP loyalists here with thousands of anti immigrant posts are not representative of the wider public? If they were then surely the NP would have a thumping majority in every election.
Well I would think because no one is ultra right wing just right of centre or a centrist. It's a mad idea I know. Why when people bang on about the right their not actually talking about the NP. Their using a huge net to put people in that box.
The only thing you forgot was the "white" reference there, but we all know it is inferred.
That description above is basically to paint a picture and we all know what type of picture you are alluding to.
Hell all you are missing is a reference to how we must have a lot of time to spend cutting holes in pillow cases.
It is all just to get people to shut up.
No discussion.
"The bunch of middle-aged men are not representative of the wider public" Really?? These so-called middle-aged men (your derogatory term, but that's your style anyway) represent the ones who are not speaking out publicly but think the same thing. If there was a referendum held between now and Christmas about stopping all future emigration in its present form, what way would it go? My money would be a massive vote on stopping it. And I've yet to speak to anyone who is in Favour of emigration in its present form. All emigration is seen to be doing the present time by ordinary people is that its putting pressure on a system that was already creaking at the seams, but now is becoming infinitely worse. And Politicians know this very well, and that's why they will never allow a referendum on it.
Because the policies the poster outlined are not National Party policies....
Many people are not cardboard cut out single issue voters, and many who feel their voices are not being heard will disassociate with politics.
The National Party do not represent me, neither do PBP or SF.
I can only speak for myself but I voted for bodily autonomy for women and yes for gay marriage so the National Party would not be a good fit for my overall political outook. I'd imagine a lot of people would be similar but that's only my opinion. Having concerns about immigration policies does not make a person far right.
The only actual accurate numbers we have on how the Irish public feel about immigration policy alone is that referendum. And it was an emphatic answer.
Not watching, perhaps you could provide cliff notes?
Why do the National Party and others do so dreadfully in any elections though? Why are the same people not voting them in?
Yes, definitely. It wasn't like the only referendum we've ever held on a matter related to immigration resulted in a huge landslide with 79.12% voting to close the birthright citizenship loophole.
That's 1.42 million people from 1.8 million who voted. Must have been a lot of middle aged, obese men around that day.
A bunch of middle aged men with tens of thousands of anti-immigrant posts between them is not representative of the wider public. Seem quite obvious but it seems like I had to point it out.
Eamon Ryan is a moron.
It is a wonder how the fook he manages to dress himself in the morning.
Actually if you look at most of the long term posters around here that are very concerned about no proper controls on migration/immigration, most would never have voiced any support for the likes of O'Doherty or the politicians that pass for right wiong in Ireland i.e. the religious loons that want us back to the days of Archbishop McQuade.
Look how many people around here continously voice support for some kind of fiscally conservative secular party, that is hard on crime, hard on antisocial behaviour, wants less modern PC drivel, proper points based immigration and doesn't give a cr** about who you sleep with in the privacy of your own home or whether a woman does or does not want to have a child.
"Kalergi plan" "population replacement" "bonos NGO" "john mcguirk" "genocide"
Not sure where to start on all that but a riveting post all the same. So you think there is a "genocide" going on and who exactly is behind it? I would love to know. People only ever hint about it on here....
she comes across to me as more mentally ill than anything else , I just used her as she does seem to present herself in different places
Are you saying she is far right?
Enjoying the new reality show unfolding before our very eyes in our little country. I’m an Albanian get me into here !
It seems the Brits have enough of Albanians arriving in boats at Dover.
I'm no fan of Varadkar but he was spot on when he mentioned Albania and Georgia, its just a pity he hadn't the balls to call it what it is and admit they come here to play the system.
Maybe little Helen can answer why over 3 thousand people have been let in here when they showed up with no passaports which they obviously destroyed and why every one of them wasn't stopped before they stepped on the tarmac at Dublin Airport.
Maybe she can also answer why checking to see if these illegals have a passport before getting off the plane has been scaled back since 2019, in other words stopped altogether going by the numbers of them here with nothing to prove who they are or where they came from.
Her appointment was nothing more than a box ticking exercise because she is clearly not able to do the job.

Ireland
Ireland is the 7th fastest growing population in Europe.
Although look at most of those countries ahead. Micro nations where a small number makes a big difference.
Where is the proof that “ the far right descends and hijacks “ ?
Mostly not but what happens is the far right descend and hijack
so you believe people local to those small areas couldn’t organically oppose DP centres opening ?, they must be led by the nose by the Gemma Dohertys of this world?
In Ryan We trust
Perhaps because they are organised by the far right?
The class of Irish people who despise middle Ireland ( Media , academia etc ) never forgave the middle class for rejecting socialism when it was getting close to a level footing ( 1970,s to 1989 ) and have rowed in aggressively behind every cause that in anyway rattles middle Ireland since.
you can observe this every day in how RTE etc brand any sort of opposition or reservation about DP centres opening in small towns as being “ influenced or organised by the far right “
I fully expect the “ far right “ charge to be wheeled out endlessly when the new educational curriculum is going full bore and gender theory etc is being taught to six year olds
" Very disingenuous trying to conflate two totally separate issues." Nope. Global population is directly linked to climate change
"Of course, migration will only increase when climate driven migration really kicks in." Migration levels are already way too high and former welcoming Country's, are now starting to limit their immigrant intake. Border controls and entry criteria will get more and more strict.
"Borders are human constructs, artificial things. Why shouldn't people have full freedom of movement. Natural selection will determine the 'winning' culture. And whatever culture dominates in the end. Would it be any worse than the current western Americanised culture we have?" It's a human construct for a very good reason, it's already natural selection in action. Imagine worldwide open borders in a world with aggressive countries like Russia, China, N Korea? No thanks.
"Anyway we could have a population of 10 million people on this island. Eamonn Ryan himself said so. If he isn't worried about the so called relationship between climate and population numbers then neither am I and neither should you be."
The fact that Eamon Ryan, given his position, is not worried about the link between population Nrs and climate is seriously cause enough to start worrying.
But both extremes are fools. Skin heads on one side yelling stuff. Blue/pink hair on the other yelling stuff. Most people don't want to read Mein Kampf or be told what your pronoun is today they want to go to work. have a drink.
