Ref. Formal submissions by TCD students on electoral reform
All for the proposals are coming in as I would have expected for privileged students, who don’t seem to realize that they are living in a dream world created no doubt by the elitist surroundings at Trinity
The inevitable suggestions coming from the floor is just typical and predictable
A few changes, to the existing system or variations of some foreign system and then they must mention the woman’s card (not enough woman represented etc)
The sad fact is the majority of people in Ireland view this body as nothing more than a talking shop for eccentric carrachters who evidently like to lecture the rest of us and get paid enormous amounts of money.
As far as I can see the Oireachtas is full of self interest individuals, waiting to make a breakthrough into the Dail or some are quite happy to just waffle on in the chamber biding their time and collecting their ill-gotten pay check, and enjoy the trappings of been a “senator” (an Irish Lord)
This of course is view as the Irish “house of Lords” and is just as corrupt!
This house should be abolished as it is the view, of the vast majority of the disenfranchised public an attempt of the ruling elite to maintain a class structure within the republic.
This is of course contravenes the constitutions stated guarantee to treat all citizens equally
Unless there is to be submissions from all the citizens of Ireland, the vast majority of the people of Ireland view this process as a waste of time

About machholz
I started this Blog to get out of my system the absolute rage that I have for the corrupt politicians and their Banker Buddies. I’m an ordinary guy, married with kids, and have firm opinions of what is right and what is wrong. I’m not afraid to say it even when it makes me unpopular.
I reproduce news all manner of articles, but will always confirm the source of the articles; this is a compliment to the source of such news pieces. But if you do not agree with this and you are the original author, I will take down any article when requested to do so. I do not assume that the author of the news articles share with my views, I include news articles to give readers another slant to my views or to illustrate what the mainstream news media say on the relevant topic.
The opinions expressed are my own but I do not accept liability for them, If I have offended you or made a factual error please put on record the truth by leaving a comment.
In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time...I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. This weblog is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot and manifestation of the various memes running around my brain, and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today.
For the record I am currently an Independent political activist and am not affiliated to any political party
