Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6In my view, the voters of the Republic of Ireland now 1) need to calmly and quietly identify all of the TDs who voted in favour of the €85 billion EU-IMF bailout package yesterday in the Dáil Eireann, for the purpose of paying off (at tax-payers expense) what is possibly just a very, very tiny fraction of the self-inflicted mountain of gambling debts the bankers have created for themselves in dozens (possibly hundreds?) of jurisdictions all around the world.
2) We need to accurately identify all those (if any) who abstained -- for no good reason -- in yesterday's Dáil vote.
3) We then need to do everything that is peacefully and legally possible to try to ensure that all those who voted in favour of the €85 billion EU-IMF bailout package yesterday, or who abstained from voting for no good reason, are not re-elected as TDs in the coming general election in the Republic of Ireland, which it seems will be taking place sometime within the coming three months or so.
Is there -- these days -- any easy, accurate, and controversial-free way of finding out who exactly voted which way (or abstained from voting) yesterday in Dáil Eireann, regarding the €85 billion EU-IMF bailout?
and to add to the list above...
All those TDs who voted against the package because they know it was going to be agreed anyway. Allowed them a handy out and they'll come knocking on our doors pretending to be on our side.
