Another important fallacy that fuels this narrative is the idea that a Universal Basic Income will boost personal freedom. The premise being that one is not free to make choices unless one possesses sufficient material means to back them up (you are not free if you cannot afford a home or you have to settle for a job below your expectations out of economic need, for instance).

Stable governance is about more than just the consistency of party policy and action, but the calibre of people participating within the system. To reiterate Fico’s statement, debate “between the best for the best ideas.” Parties require the power to implement policies for which they received democratic mandate, but this confers a responsibility to ensure the calibre of persons elected on the party ticket.

Mette Frederiksen, despite some optical flourishes against migration and the European Court of Human Rights, is a liberal technocrat dead-set on holding onto power. Popularising her policies in Ireland spells disaster for an immature political right, and a blessing to our elites.

To the casual observer, the DPC is a sleepy bureaucracy. To the informed, it is the Republic’s regulatory crown jewel—a node of transatlantic leverage that determines not only data flows but, increasingly, the limits of digital sovereignty. As the Trump administration it is review as a soft underbelly to bring US Big Tech to heel now they are veering away from the censorship of the 2010s.

There can be no ‘sovereign Ireland’ without the adoption of a staunchly anti-Zionist policy, and this is integrated within the political platform of the Right. In this fight, there is no better ally than the Left, with whom a temporary alliance should be formed, based on the basis of sovereignty for the Irish nation.
