Well, I mean, it could be just the status quo.
You know, we're what, three and a half years out from when the next election is expected to take place.
And like you could say at the moment that it's probably going to be much of a muchness in terms of the outcome of the next election.
To me, if I were in government, I would be begging the question, how can we have such economic growth, continued growth, the fastest growing economy in Europe and pretty much globally, full employment, extraordinary tax revenues, and yet...
They cannot build their popularity.
And to me, it's about one thing, and it's the inability to deliver.
It's the inability to deliver on critical public infrastructure, on the improvement of public service delivery.
And I'll give one example.
You had the last government, which was the same government effectively, well, with the Greens.
spent five years working on a planning bill, which is now legislation, which was supposed to deal with licensing, you know, authorisations, planning and JRS, judicial reviews, all the things that are holding up on the face of it are the delivery of critical infrastructure.
And the first thing that's announced pretty much when the new government comes into office is we now need new legislation, another piece of legislation to sort out judicial reviews.
How can it be taking six, seven years to get the right legislation to sort one particular issue?
like specifically on the delivery of critical infrastructure.
They, like, you know, there are models of reform that are working where things are being accelerated.
And we're a small country.
Well, we have five of the of the eighteen hundred.
So almost a third of the high net worth individuals, as identified by the revenue commissioners, have become tax exiles.
So they're they're leaving.
So that's an issue, I think, which the government needs to target and address in terms of.
you know, how you are classed as tax resident or non-tax resident.
