The people will finally be heard — at local elections

The words ‘we the people’ are the foundation of democracy.

Those words refer to the power of the people to choose the path that the government should follow.

When a government that was elected by the people doesn’t listen, the recourse of the people is to exercise voting power. The erecting of gigantic pylons across the country has demonstrated that the Fine Gael and Labour coalition is out of touch with the will of the people that it represents.
