“All Politics Is Local” written by Nuala Nolan, Galway
They say “All politics is local”, in the past it is how politics in Ireland worked. A politician who worked hard for his constituents was sure to have a long political career. But in recent years this does not seem to be the case in the sense that the “Local Interests” (interest of the Irish citizen) seems to be ignored Local Authorities in favour of Big Business, Developers and International Investors. Central Funds are only released following the various EU Directives and Regulations coming from the “EU” and Climate Change which at most times do not make sense from an Irish perspective socially or financially.
“One size does not fit all” as most women know firsthand if the buy their clothes online or at a discount store. Ireland is now the only English-speaking country in the EU since Brexit. Irish people do not look at life in the same way as most mainland Europeans do. Irish people look at Home as having one’s own front and back door, front and back garden. In most mainland Europe countries, it is normal for most families to live in apartments.
The original idea of the EU was of nations joining together in the interest of lasting peace, prosperity with free trade and free movement of goods and workers from one EU Country to another.
It was not founded on was the idea that each country becomes clones of each other in kind of social and economic experiment of World Economic Forum and the Bilderberg Group creating a New World Order, a kind of “Stepford Wives” situation.
Interestingly both of these groups meet in Switzerland, which through its Banks funded both WWI and WWII, sometimes funding with both sides. It is not a member of the EU but has all the fringe benefits.
But we are constantly told how democratic we in the West are, while those we elect are just following funding directed by unelected Civil Servants and the Invisible Hand of unelected Think Tanks. So, do we really have Democracy or are we all just pawns in a Bigger Game?
Yours Sincerely,
Nuala Nolan
