Every vote counts! This election, more than most, will be high up on the "Elections Table of importance"; since the founding of the state in 1921. This election represents a key day for every person who can vote on Friday 25th February.
The number of people voting should reflect the "crisis" we are in. I would view a higher than usual vote as very positive and essential if there is to be real change for the future. Another important feature should be the higher than usual votes cast for "independent" candidates.
In general terms, we will have the same people in the Dail after Friday. That is to say the failed opposition will now be the new government of Ireland. It is important to point out that all parties who sat in the current Dail failed the people of Ireland.
It is important for the voters and people of this country to realise that the failed opposition will do their best and I for one, hope and will want to believe that they can out perform themselves with the tasks and decisions that lay ahead. However one thing I am certain about is that they will NOT be able to bring the change and reform required by the people and the country at grassroots level.
Why?
Because the existing political parties cannot put country, people or national interest before their party. It is the same political parties and faces that will make up the majority of the Dail that was there when the crisis started.
There is a solution and there is a way forward.
Now the people must use their protest vote.
