The Other Hand

Irish politics and the meaning of life. In conversation with Sarah Carey

18 Jul 2024

Description

Has Simon Harris managed to change the narrative? He's 'taken back control' of at least some of the key issue. We shouldn't underestimate the powerful psychological impact of wiping out Sinn Fein's aura pf 'electoral inevitability'.Is ' buying the next election' with a giveaway budget really a sensible strategy? Even politically?Is it true to FG's self-image as the party of fiscal rectitude? Is it even possible - is the Irish electorate that biddable? Perhaps call the general election and ask the electorate: vote for us and then we will show you the money.Alternatively, maybe a budget for housing, health and infrastructure would be more politically astute than one that doles out cash via tax cuts.SF's tack to the centre - or even the anti-immigration right - includes schmoozing business. That could alienate its left-wing.What are we going to do when all the priests are dead?What is right wing? J D Vance on conservatives Vs libertarians.And Much, much more! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
