The BIG political lesson of recent times

The really big lesson that Sinn FÃ ©in Finance Spokesperson Pearse Doherty TD has taught us all (in my view), is that through the correct and well-informed use of our Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann), any one of the three main branches of our Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial), can stop wrongdoing by either (or both) of the other two.

In his case he used the Judicial branch to stop wrongdoing by the Executive: and, as I see things at least, with first-class results (thanks to all involved).

I believe we need more of this, much more, and we need it FAST.

Put slightly differently, we need to take back our Constitution, and the "Tri-Partite Separation of Powers Principle" upon which it is based, and, in all future general elections, we need to vote ONLY for TDs who are willing to gently but firmly follow (and constantly support) that core-issue pursuit, as Pearse Doherty (and Justice Nicholas Kearn's High Court Ruling) have done, and hopefully will continue to do.

Otherwise, I believe we will lose our sovereign independent state of the Republic of Ireland.

In reality, and as recent events powerfully demonstrate, we have already lost a huge part of our sovereignty to the UNELECTED " invisible global government" of the "invisible global banking cartel " ; and, we are (I believe) within a "hair's breadth" at the present time of losing it altogether: if, that is, we don't pay more attention to what may be the only solution: and which, as Pearse Doherty has recently proved, really does work.
