		<description><![CDATA[Truthist, there are individuals elected on single issue platforms, as the lady doctor from Clare pushing for a doctor to be allocated to every village, these issues are usually very strongly debated in that candidates area resulting in a vote for the candidate they feel will sort the issue out. I would be delighted to work on a single issue, life would be so much more simple but the freedom that DD gives us is not on the electorates mind they in general feel that they, the people, are in power.  If there was a feeling of helplessness across the country or in one specific area it would work, the demands for services are immediate and satisfying reinforcing the elusion of having power placating the need for more freedom. That is why I believe one issue doesn&#039;t work for a &#039;party&#039; but very well for individuals]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here Mike is Wikipedia.org article about Pat Farrell ;
And, as ever with Wikipedia.org it is to be taken with a grain of salt for most subjects other than mathematics or football results.
But, as it is at least a stakeholder per its the subject matter, we should examine what it says.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Farrell

Surely ur Teachta Daile Me-hole Martin will give u the inside track on the bould Pat Farrell since u Mike are clearly a true patriot for Ireland ;

Here is some more info. about good family man Me-hole Martin the prospective &quot;official&quot; supreme autocratic hand of The Institutional State of the Irish State [ I.S.I.S. ] ;


Ref.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miche%C3%A1l_Martin

START OF EXCERPT

Martin attended Coláiste Chríost Rí before studying arts at University College Cork.[citation needed]
It was during his time at university that Martin became involved in politics. 
He was a prominent member of the cumann of Ógra Fianna Fáil, the youth wing of the party before later serving as national chairman of Ógra.[citation needed] 
After graduating with a BA degree, Martin later completed his MA in political history. Martin subsequently completed a higher diploma in education and began a career as a history teacher in Presentation Brothers College.[citation needed]
In 2009, he published his masters thesis as a book: Freedom to Choose: Cork and Party Politics in Ireland 1918–1932.[4]
Early political career[edit]
Martin&#039;s time as a teacher was short-lived as he left after just one year to become a full-time politician when he secured election to Cork Corporation as a Fianna Fáil candidate in 1985.[citation needed] 
It was from this local base that he decided to embark on a career in national politics a little under two years later.[citation needed

END OF EXCERPT

I understand that Me-hole was drawing a lucrative teacher&#039;s salary up until recent years when it was expedient that he desist.

Important to uncover what kind of teacher he was :
After all, he is already in the dock for &quot;funny stuff&quot; with Bertie -- Rupert Murdoch&#039;s favorite father of would be novelist daughter to whom he gives 1 Million Smackers in advance of she writing a Chick-lit. Novel -- &quot;The Boom just got Boomier&quot; Aherne, &amp; now he is wanting to be Taoiseach himself.

Was he truly knowledgeable about his subject[s] ?
Was he effective ?
Was he civil to the pupils ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pat,

Ahead of giving u more considered reply per ur replies to me, I remind u per ur exact refutation about K.I.S.S. for getting candidates elected  [or, I ask, should we not be thinking about forcing the Plebiscite Mechanism to be re-instated without relying on getting D.D.I. candidates elected firstly ? ] ;

We have had independent candidates elected to Dail Eireann on the sole issue of ensuring that the electorate gets their &quot;Multi-channel&quot; stations.

Waiting 4 years for opportunity is silly.

U need to recruit a gifted Executive Director of Propaganda for to achieve ur objective.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Meanwhile, capitalist prosperity is in crisis because the central bank&#039;s free money is destroying honest price discovery in the financial markets, deforming the free market allocation of investment and other economic resources, crushing savers, retirees and real entrepreneurs and generating unspeakable windfalls to traders and speculators.&quot;

&quot; Even if the likes of Bob Woodward haven’t figured this out, the unschooled Donald Trump apparently has.  No wonder they fear Trump Unbound.&quot;

Secret deals are a constant occurrence when it comes to the world’s central-banks. That’s because central banking is a legalized monopoly and central bankers are supposed to conspire together. The Bank for International Settlements acts like a Mafioso Kingpin, supervising the secret arrangements.---- Daily Bell

But in this article we want to review important financial facilities along with the banking elite itself to reemphasize that they are not what they seem.

We’ll remind you of why they are not to be trusted and how the current economic system worldwide has been rigged to collapse, and to take you  down with it.

The IMF, the World Bank, the Bank for International Settlements, the larger central banks and top banking elites are all complicit.---Daily Bell]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“First of all, we’re not at 5 percent unemployment. We’re at a number that’s probably into the twenties if you look at the real number,” Trump said. “That was a number that was devised, statistically devised to make politicians — and, in particular, presidents — look good. And I wouldn’t be getting the kind of massive crowds that I’m getting if the number was a real number.” ----Trump

Trump gets it re the economy!!??
