    Martin Critten; spokesperson for Sli Nios Fearr, explores the question – do we really need a new political party! It’s the sort of statement you hear at the village pub, one which is immediately rebuffed with the remark; but sure they’re all the same, just a bunch of gob***** ! Certainly, nothing quite raises the ire of the ordinary ‘joe’ over a few pints, than the idea of creating yet another tier of self -serving individuals masquerading as everyone’s saviour; but whilst we continue to blot out our fiscal woes with mild substance abuse, the tragic irony is we are the ones that keep on voting them in!
    In our decadent consumer led society, one thing is for sure, if you bought a box of soap powder from the supermarket that promised to remove stains, or in fact it totally ruined you Monday’s wash, then certainly there would be hell to play – and a refund of course.

    What's his manifesto?

    What's his political history and personal background?

    Also, typos on the homepage are risky even if they're intentional.

    I couldn't consider voting for yet another party with an unprouncable name.

    Ok, admit it.....your dad's Scotish or something? And your mother's half irish? Why else would you say Celtic and not Irish?

    The homepage picture makes it looks cultish and the text is poorly written.

    I might be more interested if the party name was written in a language that I understand.

    Their policies are hilarious:
    A new SSIA, to bring cash into the exchequer so we could use this as a stimulus

    Excellent, let's spend government money on encouraging people to spend less and save more? And then use that money as a stimulus to encourage consumption?
    Make voting compulsory; and subsequently provide a no vote for any of the above, or not bothered section – but it will sponsor greater social responsibility and engagement.

    Sweet Jesus.
    ...provide investigate powers for tribunal style work

    Didn't we vote no to this?
    Legalise cannabis and or cannabis derivatives for acute medial purposes.

    This might explain the above...

    Perhaps someone should tell this wannabe politician that Dail elections are also open to people from the UK, few of whom will be able to speak Klingon Gaelic Irish. Google Translate can only do so much ...

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    What a terrible reason to vote for someone, seriously, at this point we need to start electing people who know what they are doing.

    This is a comment I never agree with. If you're starting up, you make damn sure to put in the effort to get attention.

    Then vote independent, but at least vote for one that knows his arse from his elbow.

    They could have come up with a better party name.

    Imagine foreign journalists trying to pronounce it from reading. My money's on 'Sly neeos feer'!

    Judging by the name of his party, his main aim is to abolish the 'fada'.

    How do we know for certain he doesnt know what hes doing that could be a little presumptous,its like when FG accused gerry adams of not knowing what hes doing..

    I would rather someone with the right intentions,then some greedy shark thats in it for themselves and what they can get out of it..Like we have suffered in the past with FF..

    He's worked in tourisum, which I suspect is how he thinks it's spelt rather than a typo.
