The Emerald Revolution

The Emerald Revolution

It is proposed to set up a new political institution called “The Emerald Party”. This will not be based on the old style political party line.

In fact it will be radically different. Its purpose is to change through totally peaceful means the whole political system in Ireland.

It will hold peaceful demonstration and candle light parades to highlight its policies and agenda. It is a totally non violent, non aggressive movement. Its sole aim is to bring about cataclysmic change in Irelands political landscape through a peaceful peoples revolution.

Ireland is currently in the throes of a severe depression brought about by miss-management of the economy by the current government. Its position is exacerbated by the fact that absolutely no political alternative is available. Through the past two years of turmoil we have hear nothing but cries of foul play from the opposition parties but not one firm constructive policy to steer this country back to prosperity.

It is really like a circus, one party blaming the other, waiting to seize power by default not by showing any real leadership or progressing new innovative policies. Ireland at this moment of crisis lacks just one item and that is true patriotic leadership. There is not one leader amongst all in Dail Eireann or Seanad Eireann that is worthy to tie the shoe laces of any of the signatories of The Easter Rising or indeed those of Collins, DeValera, Costello or Lemass.

This inherited political system as we have come to know it is “DEAD”. Its very nature creates its own demise. It is based on a premise of self gratification and self preservation through the now archaic “Party System”. It is time to call a halt to this before it drags down the whole country and this illustrious people with it. Enough is enough. The game is up.

The Irish people are very resilient. They have endured years of oppression, war and conflict. They have withstood “The Great Famine” of 1845/50, the war of Independence, even Civil War and the “Birth of a Nation”. I am calling on that great resilience to rise once again. While I know the task is hard it bears no resemblance to what our forefathers endured. With our history and forbearance this journey will be a “cake walk”.

Ireland is at an historic cross road. Soon it will celebrate the 100 anniversary of “The Easter Rising” closely followed by its 100 year anniversary of Independence. We have at this defining moment in history to ask ourselves just one question. Have we been served well in the last 100 years by our political system and parties? I hear a resounding NO. It is time for change. To finish with what is not serving us as a nation and to embrace new and innovative ways of self governance.

Let’s start the movement for CHANGE. I needs to be a peaceful and holistic movement involving all strata of society especially our disadvantaged and under privileged. It should embrace all persuasions, be non aligned religiously and be above all else directed and driven by the ordinary working people of IRELAND.

I call upon all of you to join our movement and to put your trust first of all in yourself and in our future as a NATION. Together we can turn this mess around, together we can make things happen, together we can restore Ireland to the vision of Pearse, Connolly, Collins and De Valera.
Let’s start to make CHANGE, to embrace CHANGE, to deliver CHANGE.

Join “The Emerald Revolution” and “The Emerald Party” TODAY to show your support and consolidation.
