I am a candidate in the election 2011 because I have lost respect for the majority of politicians, and I don’t trust most of them.
If politicians were qualified to do their jobs, this would be a better country.
The world is dangerously close to tipping point where the multi nationals are in complete control.
1 I say Nationalize the gas fields in Mayo, and invite the government of Norway to run them as a partner. The value of this national resource is a lot more than our debts to the I.M.F.
2 Reverse the deal Bertie Ahern made with the Catholic Church for taxpayers to pay all of the churches bills after the abuse claims.
3 People who have power should be accountable, with severe penalties for anyone abusing their position. There has to be a system where corruption is impossible.
4 There has to be constant consultation with the people, there should be representatives from every sector in society in committees that advise the government on policy.
Artists should advise on Arts policy, Doctors advise on health policy, business people on economic policy, etc., etc.
5 Give priority to small business, and home grown sustainable business.
6 The way to make Irelands economy strong and sustainable is for Irish people to manufacture and purchase Irish produce.
7 There would be a famine if we couldn't import food tomorrow. The farmers are being paid not to grow. This is the most fertile land in the world and we grow nothing anymore.
8 We must make jobs and the economy sustainable, and self -sufficient.
We must be able to feed ourselves. Its not good just producing meat, and dairy products.
9 We shall reforest Ireland, making forestry an important industry for the future, investing in all of the spin off industries that use timber.
10 Tourism is one of our main potential industries.
11 We must make our towns, and countryside beautiful again. Opening up much of the countryside to walkers. Our rural areas have been neglected for so long, and they are such important factors in Ireland being a paradise for visitors.
12 Tax incentives for doing up old property, and laws to force people to keep their property in good condition. Rates for local business should be affordable.
13 The natural resources we have in Ireland are perfect for developing so many industries,and natural sustainable environmentally friendly energy.
14 Business that encourage and promote Irish goods should get grants and cheaper rates.
15 Out of town shopping centers have destroyed town centers, and damaged the social fabric of Great Britain) Why copy failure?
16 All unemployed would be offered work in these and other industries with €100 added to their allowance. They would get free travel to work, plus shares in these industries, which could be traded or sold, just like government bonds.
17 In theory we must limit how much individuals own. Lets face it no one needs to own a billion Euros. No one should wield that power.
18 Off shore bank accounts will be highly illegal.
19 A fair way to tax our citizens. 70% on earnings over €1m per year,60% on earnings over €500k, 60% over €100k, 30% over €25k, under €25k there would be no income tax.
20 The law will favor people over big business. Violent crime, murder, robbery, corruption, and dishonesty of those in power shall all carry heavier penalties than they do now.
21 Drink laws would be relaxed with pubs able to choose their opening hours. Why should responsible people suffer for the sins of the idiots in society? It makes no sense to have all people leaving pubs at the same time.
22 All drugs would be de-criminalized so that they can be regulated by government, and taken out of the hands of criminal gang’s. The money generated could be taxed. Jobs would be created educating people of the dangers of taking drugs, and in the rehabilitation of drug users.
23 Judges and Lawyers would be regulated more. Sentencing would be universal not different from one judge to another. Laws would be fairer, and not favoring the rich.
24 The negative effects of the insurance industry on society will be stopped.
25 Privately owned media will be required to show no bias towards business over people.
26 It is through NAMA that we will force the banks to favor small Irish business.
We must invest in our long-term future. The children are our future.
27 Education and facilities for the youth will be a priority.
The record of this state in providing for our young is appalling.
28 We have to reward business and people who contribute to the improvement of our country.
Business’s that promote Ireland internationally would get assistance from the state.
29 The government should promote the arts and crafts of Ireland internationally.
30 Where there is a chance to create a job we would encourage it.
This is a philosophy of the long term good.
31 We have well educated people in Ireland, hope for the future lies in being even better educated, and being at the cutting edge of all new technologies.
