The right concerns itself with the rights of individuals, they believe inequalities in society are natural due to individual differences e.g. individual work ethic etc.

RayM wrote: » 'Break this country'? What's this? More 'poetic licence'? I still find it amazing that Higgins (who comes across as being a decent sort of man) has the capacity to inspire such invective from those of a very right-wing persuasion. In this thread, he's been described as a geriatric, a gobshite, pious, vain and an unctuous little bollix. Seriously... I'm not a big fan of Sean Gallagher, but I'd never resort to making unpleasant comments about him. Even if he does bear a striking resemblance to a big toe with a face drawn on it.

Higgins is a principled man, who doesn't sit on the sidelines and actually voices his opinion. He's a much more suitable candidate than any other. The only other candidate worth a vote is Davis. Not that any of this matters to you - You see someone on the 'left', and immediately look for ways to attack their character. I'm sure President Higgins will survive without your petty vote.
