Thoughts? I just came across them recently. Is that Herman Kelly's party? They come across as the least craziest of the far right parties. I will vote for Kelly in the Euro elections but they don't seem to have too many candidates around, which is understandable I guess because I don't think they have been around for long |

The Irish right need a charismatic leader like Nigel Farage prepared to be unpopular but not be a conspiracy obsessed tin foil hat loon. There is a huge dissatisfaction with the current self inflicted immigration, housing and crime situation. These are traditional right wing issues but there is no party prepared to appeal to this group of discontents. Many social conservatives seem reluctant to get involved or commit to these issues which are gaining traction with the wider public. |

Many social conservatives seem reluctant to get involved or commit to these issues which are gaining traction with the wider public. There are a few fellas around the country that could do with some PR training IMO. There is too much preaching to the choir and not trying to reach the undecideds or middle ground. Well, the reluctance could be that there is also the risk of violence against people who speak up. Carol Nolan TD's office was targeted for example. People complain about the fear of the far-right in the media, like there is some sort of boogyman out there that will get you, but the ones that resort to violence quicker are the far left woke types. Imagine if a group of far right activists trapped a Minister in her car, what the headlines would be? Or attacked political party AGM's. Both of which has been done by those that identify as being far left. Also, I don't recall there being armed Gardai at protests before, which there was at the Celbridge protest. The establishment want to come down hard on anyone that doesn't toe the line, which ironically the far left do despite them deluding themselves otherwise. "There is a huge dissatisfaction with the current self inflicted immigration, housing and crime situation" - And no party in the Dail wants to go against the bogus asylum seekers for some strange reason... This will be the biggest opportunity for the right wing to get a foothold in Irish politics. |

You mentioned about a charismatic leader. There is a fella in Sligo, same party as Kelly, who comes across well. He ran as an Independent before and pretty much predicted a lot of the shit show now about migrants and electricity prices shooting through the roof.
