Many have nicknamed the new Irish President ‘The Hobbit’ because of his small stature. This is unfortunate and lacks charity but also because the society of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings is a Distributist and Christian society. A credible economic alternative to the failures of Left and Right. A Society of the guilds which is a real tool for social regeneration.
Michael D Higgins belongs to a political party that is pro-abortion. The Labour party also laments the emigration of young Irish people but at same time support mass-immigration into Ireland.
Many regarded this election as a waste of time and money, and many wrote this or other slogans on the ballot paper. The RTE website shows there were 18,676 ‘spoilt’ votes.
One thing is clear. Many in Ireland haven’t spoken yet. There is a clear sense of people feeling betrayed by political parties. Many saw the seven candidates as stooges and didn’t bother voting.
Hopefully Dana supporters are not demoralised?
Irish society has to be reconstructed and no doubt the 18,676 who ‘spoiled’ their votes and others will help reconstruct this Nation.
At the moment we live in an oligarchy ruled by The New Unhappy Lords.
“Only you do not know us. For we have not spoken yet”
Michael D has just said he will be a 'President for all'. Will he be a voice for the unborn child and resign instead of signing anti-life legislation?
