Simple?
But what is it that is preventing the rest of our "elected representatives" (so called) from supporting such a fundamental and basic democratic principle, regarding such a hugely important social issue: arguably the most important in the history of the State?
One thing is for sure: I would NEVER vote for ANY general election candidate who is making such a socially destructive and irresponsible mockery of democracy in the way that all of our non-Sinn Fein general election candidates appear to be hell-bent on doing just now.
Surely this huge bankers 'bailout loan' from the IMF (and the European Central Bank) is among the MOST important, if not the most important, of all the General Election issues?
Why the almighty big rush to pass the Finance Bill?
Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (The Constitution of the Republic of Ireland):
"All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people (NOTE: NOT THE BANKERS), whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final (NOTE: FINAL meaning FINAL) appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good ."
