Diary: Main Opposition Party Undecided About Bailouts

"FINE GAEL (Main Opposition Party) APPEARS to remain undecided on how to vote in Wednesday's DÃ �il ballot (Wednesday December 15th 2010 that is) on whether to ratify Ireland's bailout deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, today's Sunday Times reports."

"The paper says that while Labour has committed to voting against the plan when a division is taken this week, Fine Gael are less unequivocal in their proposed stance on the � ? �67.5bn deal."

The two excerpts above appear at: http://www.thejournal.ie/fine-gael-undecided-over-dail-bailout-vote-2010-12/

Maybe a few phone calls from voters, which gently but firmly point out to our "elected representatives" that, if they wish to hold onto their very lucrative positions as TDs, they might need to start listening a lot more to the people of the Republic of Ireland, and a lot less to the people who are behind the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, and their proposed � ? �67.5bn bailout for the self-inflicted gambling debts of the bankers?

This now seems particularly important on account of the fact that, the people of the Republic of Ireland who the TDs are supposed to be representing, are not being given the opportunity to have their say directly on this extremely important matter through the use of a referendum, a matter which involves a huge financial burden for tax payers (in "bad times"), and which appears (to me at least) to have been deliberately designed to plunge present and future generations of the Republic of Ireland into a "perpetual debt" situation (of crippling magnitude), which they might never be able to free themselves from. This is not very good for the "common good" mentioned in Article 6.1 of our written Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann), is it?

Add to the above the fact that, as an internationally well-recognised, independent, and sovereign nation state of long standing, there is nothing whatsoever to prevent the Republic of Ireland Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) from creating its own COMPLETELY "debt-free and interest-free" money, by the means already referred to and outlined at: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/98299#comment275816

These notes derive largely from a "comment" which appears at the following Indymedia (Ireland) www location:

Incidentally, the controversially "leaked" TD phone numbers are all printed as part of the main Article at the www address immediately above.
