you missed the word "benevolent"  very important ... A despot would be overthrown ASAP ... The political system is too obsessed with elections and getting re-elected ... is a mass popularity contest only half a step up from a "lovely girls competition" really the best way to determine national leadership ...

No cohesion. They stand on a variety of issues, many of which are local in nature. Trying to get a minimum of 83 of them to agree one agenda and stick to it for five years is a practical impossibility given that it's tricky enough to get a single party to agree for that long. |

there in lies a problem there is to many in the dail for the amount of people they represent its a small country ffs Manchester is of a similar size population wise and its run in a better manner than some of the shit that goes on here
until we have radical change in the make up of the political set up in this country it will remain same old shite different day in every walk of life we have under performers who quickly sink and the cream rises we need some cream to rise but its prevented by the party so maybe a period off uncertainty is the stimulus required to stir the pot |

I'm sure most major corporations have one clear cut philosophy. A lot of independents are in politics because of local issues rather than national ones. There's a hell of a difference in philosophy between Michael Lowry and Luke Flanagan. They can operate fine together in opposition as they only have to agree on what they're against rather than what they want implemented. |

Whoever said "all politics is local" hit the nail on the head. If someone gets elected to keep Roscommon hospital open, for example, I hardly think the good of the rest of the country matters much to them. Politicians represent specific constituencies and if they want to get reelected they must please the voters in those constituencies first and foremost. The sensible thing for the good of the country may be to close that hospital, school, or whatever, but God help the politician who goes out campaigning on that basis. |

Alan Dukes as leader of Fine Gael implemented the "Tallaght Strategy" which meant that while they were in opposition they would support government proposals if they felt it was for the good of the country, or basically they would not automatically oppose just because they were in opposition. The result was that the economy eventually turned around, but Fine Gael got decimated at the next elections. It would appear that voters expect the opposition to oppose.  |

Luke Flanagan has a philosophy? Now I'm laughing.
Though I do hear he will get a big vote in his native Roscommon. They reckon that at least if he is Europe they won't have to listen to him any more |

"vote? not thanks, never. im not a slave
Good lad. That'll get the country back on its feet! "
I agree ... voting is propping up a corrupt and ineffective system ... boycott the polls and deny any implied mandate ... it's as much a privilage as actually voting ... |

Fg. That's a rare advance in 3 year's. We were feced altogether when they came into power. There's hard times ahead granted but not the 50 years worth we were promised. And I still couldn't vote FF after what they did. SF are still lying murdering bastards labour are pointless and have a look at the independants? Fuck me! Only option. I know that will be unpopular..... |

So you would prefer a politician chosen by a "democratic process" of majority rule than a proven leadership structure selected through expertise and experience, and subject to regular performance reviews?
No problemo, but I have a different viewpoint ... |

Yeah, I have a fun-de-mental philosophical opposition to majority rule, which gets stronger with every moment I experience the quality of collective / group decision making by the general public |

I'd rather the accountability that comes with democracy. As for technocracy, we experienced a little bit of that with our minister for health. Lol. Fair enough, it's not a great example, but it's a start. We've also had teachers as education ministers and it didn't work very well. The other issue is who appoints the technocrats? Who are they accountable to? I'd rather take my chances with democracy where the elected representatives have to come back to us every five years, knowing that if they make a mess, they'll be punished for it, at least electorally. |

Ah no. At a local level, theres no difference. But. If if you want to talk about honesty, you have to go national. And a fundamental principle is democracy. What might not be good for me or you now will pay for my kid to go to college. |

Accountability? Really? I would question that ...
Also, we do not operate in a democracy ... or a republic for that matter, we are governed by a poorly selected self managed ruling elite, and not a particlarly skilled one either because of it's relatively thankless nature for genuinely talented individuals ...

Of course there's accountability. Every five years we have elections. I'm still curious as to who appoints the technocrats to run the country, and who do they answer to?
Here's a quote for you.. "if you want to know the value of democracy, ask people who have been denied it" (me, just now)

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors" Plato said that as well.
As for the Henry Ford quote, I suspect Hitler and Stalin would have agreed with him.
I'm sure I could also find a quote from a fictional character, but that doesn't really add anything.
As for the Republic comment.. You may have a point to db extent, but refusing to have anything to do with electoral politics won't change that. |

I take your point on the Plato, but 22 years of engagement to date hasn't affected the outcome much so far ...
Hitler was massively democratic ... even JFK admired his popularity ... and don't knock House of Cards as a metaphor if you haven't seen it ...
If enough people boycotted the polls and stripped away political mandate then that could be interesting ... would "democracy" survive less than 10% turnout? And what would happen then ...

Hitler may have been popular but killing your political opponents hardly marks one out as a great democrat.
Would democracy survive? Hmm, it would unless someone starts a revolution, but that would probably necessitate some political engagement in itself. |

I find it hilarious all the people who bitch and moan about all politicians being the same and then don't vote as a result. At local level you actually find some hard working, enthusiastic young people who really want to make a difference and actually do have an influence in the area.
People died for our right to vote and in many countries around the world people would sacrifice everything so that their children would one day have the freedom that we do.
We have gone from one of the poorest countries in the Western world to consistently in the top 10 of places to live for young and old, rich and poor, able and disabled so clearly some good is being done. |

I'm finding it difficult to take any interest in the upcoming elections but i will vote, the current government have been a huge disappointment in that they have not made the civil service accountable for there actions or lack of them, the botched manner in which Irish Water has been set up was the last straw for me.
I definitely won't vote for SF , they would be a disaster for the self employed and if anyone thinks they will look after the less privileged take a look at the social welfare rates in NI where they power share, they must be very efficient with there personal budgeting though as they have a nice lifestyle from the average industrial wage.
Now for what really matters, there's a huge hoor of a pothole up the road I must see who can sort that |

I definitely won't vote for SF , they would be a disaster for the self employed and if anyone thinks they will look after the less privileged take a look at the social welfare rates in NI where they power share, they must be very efficient with there personal budgeting though as they have a nice lifestyle from the average industrial wage.
Now for what really matters, there's a huge hoor of a pothole up the road I must see who can sort that "
You're presumably self employed like myself. I can only point out that FF /FG /LAB haven't exactly made self employment very lucrative over the last few years. |

The northern executive has very limited fiscal powers so that's not a valid comparison at all. |
