Politicians must honour the people’s verdict

IT’S becoming very apparent, following the referendum no vote, that our politicians are at a complete loss as to how to proceed.

Indeed they are beginning to resemble prefects in some upper class school who have lost control over their charges and are afraid of the consequences when the head finds out.

Just as local government lost its power when rates were abolished and councils became dependent on funding from central government, so also have TDs, ministers and Brian Cowen become no more than lackeys for their EU masters.
