Re: Trust us (4.00 / 10)
How is this different from national politics, and how do you propose to reform Ireland (leaving aside the EU for a while).
  • Half of the TDs control the decisions of the entire Dail.
  • Representatives, and not citizens of Ireland, are in total control.
  • You have to trust your TD, as well as the TDs from all other constituencies.
I am no saying that representative democracy is perfect, but is your problem with representative democracy, or with European identity?
