Voters take a stand against a ‘ cabal of globalist elites’

Madam Editor, It is interesting to note that Irish politicians at both national and local level have failed to grasp the significance of the Trump and Brexit electoral shocks and the real possibility that their own well paid jobs could fall victim to a similar populist revolt.

There is a perception among a silent majority of voters in the United States and United Kingdom that their core values are under attack from a cabal of globalist elites whose agenda is far removed from advancing the common good. The cosmopolitan controlled media has espoused the view that it is morally questionable to put one’s own country and its citizens first and anyone who dares to disagree is dismissed as a racist or a bigot. There is also a growing resistance among voters to what has been termed “political correctness” as can be seen from recent events in the US and UK and may well be confirmed by upcoming elections in several European countries.

The people of the United States have voted to elect Donald Trump as president, based on policies that have been openly debated for several years. Similarly, voters in the United Kingdom have indicated at the polling booth that the dubious benefits of E. U. membership have been outweighed by the loss of freedom and sovereignty that comes from being trapped inside the fascist based Eu- ropean super- state. It is ironic that we here in Ireland are now lecturing the citizens of the US and UK considering our own record in disregarding the will of the people as expressed in several referenda. When Irish voters rejected the Treaty of Nice in 2001 and the Treaty of Lisbon in 2008 we were told by the fascist E. U. that we got it wrong and to keep voting until they got the “right” result.

There are many pressing issues that should engage the attention of Irish politicians, from a failing health system to the destruction of the rural economy and a proposed draconian tax on water to mention but a few. Is it time for us to get off the high horse and leave other countries to run their own affairs? When politicians of the socalled left and right are united in a common cause as they are now and the silent majority is left disenfranchised, a time will come when that lack of representation will find expression in other ways. Instead of interfering in the affairs of other nations, should we perhaps be considering the cost of our own loss of freedom under the yoke of mounting oppression as vassals of the Franco- German E. U. Empire?
