Letters to the Editor: Vote for those who will protect all of society

"Ordinary people ought to vote for political parties which are fully concerned with doing the best that they can for every stage of their lives." Picture: Rui Vieira/PA Wire

It can be said, I believe, that all political parties in Ireland or Britain would not deny that they are principally pro-business parties. For example, the UK Conservative Party has for a long time been calling themselves "the business party". While in Ireland the slogan for Fine Gael under the leadership of former Taoiseach Ends Kenny was "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs".

It shouldn't be too surprising then to discover that people who don't have jobs like retired people and young children are not at the top of the real list of priorities of political parties. It's hardly surprising too that the deadly Covid-19 virus took the lives sadly of so many elderly people in nursing homes because was there was not much political get and go to make sure nursing homes 100% safe.
