The left’s reckless emotion is not compatible with good government

The general election campaign is the most divisive and emotionally charged since the foundation of the State. The sheer volume of radical, left-wing candidates is truly worrying.

The radical left are attempting to convince less-educated voters that they can provide a utopian society in which taxes are abolished and public services are bountiful. The radicals are leading the electorate down a path of poverty and destruction. A decent society is incongruous with the erosion of the tax base.

I truly despair that Ireland is going to elect a parliament of left-leaning sycophants and foghorn politicians.
