These are the words of Micheal Martin the leader of Fianna Fail in January 2020. Now, just six months later he has agreed to form a government with Fine Gael and take part in a bizarre rotating Taoiseach-ship with Leo Varadkar.
Martin, following in a long tradition of Irish politicians, has a very short and selective memory, especially when it comes to potentially getting the reigns of power with his grasp, if even for just a half term.
However, this insatiable lust for power will ultimately be the undoing of Fianna Fail once and for all, but more importantly it shows the total disdain within which our political establishment hold the Irish people and democracy itself.
Every general election since 1981 has shown Fianna Fail and Fine Gael attaining an ever-smaller combined share of the vote, with the 2020 showing a record low just 46.7% of people voting Fine Gael or Fianna Fail.
This had led inexorably to two old rival parties admitting what the discerning Irish citizen has known since at least the mid-1990s, that for all intents and purposes, they are the same party.
Power not patriotism, (if that was ever the case) is the motivation for these two cadres of liars, thieves, sell outs and pawns. They should no longer be considered political parties as they do not themselves have any political beliefs.
Let us not forget that our incoming Taoiseach, the leader of the “Republican Party” referred to the notion of national sovereignty as a “backward idea”.
When we look at these men who supposedly govern us we must remind ourselves, these cretins are empty suits, they have no belief’s, convictions and most definitely no patriotic fibre in their being.
