Could Fine Gael be pushed to the right?

So Temple Bar is all of Ireland now, is it?

In fairness,

 the local businessmen

in Temple Bar bear a lot of responsibility for what a once fabulous part of the city has become. A tawdry tourist trap full of greed tbh. That it attracts more crime than other areas is no surprise.

as others have stated, ffg have a traditional base in the right as it is, with fg more so to the right than ff, what you mean is, you d like a more far right party, theres definitely a market for it in ireland, as theres many moving more so towards more authoritarian views, and would like such a society, but if we did create such, they probably wouldnt like it all that much, i.e. its a fantasy of some, but it would actually be a nightmare in reality!

such folks seem to think incarcerating more and more, would miraculously reduce crime, although theres virtually no evidence anywhere in the world of such, none at all, i.e. more fantasy land stuff! one of the potential better ways of approaching crime is to actually try prevent it in the first place, but noting, crime will always exist in our societies, no matter what we do, or dont do. crime is generally the outcome of long term unmet needs of criminals, most have undiagnosed dsm based disorders, including developmental disorders, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, mental health issues, trauma, etc etc, many of which are in fact detectable at and early age, and some what treatable. early detection and treatment is by far the best approach in preventing later escalations into crime, but thankfully ireland is well onto of such issues, preventing as many kids from going untreated, with little or no waiting lists, so, go us! oh yea, precarious housing is also linked to crime, so again, go us!

ireland actually doesnt have an unlimited immigration policy, there actually is a process already in place, but with growing anti-immigration sentiments, less are definitely going to be given access, which means we must prepare for a slowing economy, partly due to this, as many immigrants work in critical sectors such as health care etc, and the fact we re also experiencing an aging demographics, growing old is gonna be some fun in future ireland!

many, possible most long term unemployed actually struggle with complex psychological issues, similar or the same as most criminals, surprise surprise, many long term unemployed are also involved in crime, but again, thankfully we re well onto of these issues now, and provide adequate health care to all such folks, so at least we ll have a crime and long term unemployment free ireland pretty soon!

you ll also find many individuals that have strong right leaning thinking have serious empathy and intellectual problems, being simply unable to realise these social complexities, and whats actually required to try address them, ive also found many have had very complex, even traumatic childhoods, resulting in such thinking, which also tends to be highly dichotomous, and lacking in empathy!

As a Fine Gael member, please pish off and go sell crazy some place else.

If you want to start Reform Ireland, or join up with some of the other clowns who bleat on about immigrants being the cause of everything, best of luck. But its been tried, and failed.

ignore our crime and immigration problems

Exactly as I said, nothing to do with politics at all.
