Didnt the brown shirts who had a minority government silence the opposition and take over the parliament in 1930s Germany?
A nasty piece of work
An ogeous cunt of a man.
Effectively silenced the opposition and allowed themselves to rule as a one party nation
Long profile of Jack Chambers in the new edition of The Phoenix, although funny enough it doesnât really say all that much about him. The following paragraph caught my attention however:
The popular view of Martinâs FF in recent years is that of a once constitutional republican party that decided for electoral reasons to abandon this âold-fashionedâ ideology and demonise Sinn FĂŠin. But parallel to this U-turn was the abandonment also of its once social-democrat appeal to large sections of the working class. The obsessive quest for the middle-class vote that had defected or was borrowed by Fine Gael at the 2016 general election meant not only a vilification of Gerry Adams, Mary Lou et al, but also a general shift to the right. This demanded a more middle-class image, middle-class politics and middle-class candidates with older, soft left policies blurred to the point of extinction.
âRight wingâ policies
Got to love the Phoenix
