A vote for Nationalists will create a stronger EU
My priorities for the EU Parliament will be:
-Strict Border Control -Increased Food Production and Security
-Scrap Carbon Tax – Strengthen freedom of speech laws
-Retain Neutrality -Reform the EU from within
IMMIGRATION
We currently have sovereignty over our immigration and asylum laws, yet Helen McEntee seems to be determined to throw that sovereignty away and lock us into the EU Migration Pact without our consent. This will hand all legislative power over to Brussels and the number of asylum applicants we will get under the pact will be upwards of 30.000 per year. This will all be decided at EU level and is based on our falsely inflated GDP. The pact will increase the current asylum numbers we take and there won’t be a thing we can do about it. My priority is to ensure that we aren’t opted into this pact.
FOOD PRODUCTION AND SECURITY
I will oppose the reduction of food production in Ireland to comply with a nonsensical green agenda, whilst at the same time, Brazil cuts down rainforests to increase their herd by 24 million under a new EU trade deal. We will see our herd being cut by 25% by 2030 and the EU importing beef from Brazil, even though the carbon footprint per head of cattle in Brazil is 4 times that of Irish beef. How can a supposed green deal cut lower carbon food production and put our farmers out of business, in order to facilitate higher carbon food production? It makes no sense. We are clearly very good at producing low carbon food, so we should increase, not reduce our food production.
GREEN AGENDA
Carbon tax is already astronomical and is set to nearly double within the next 5 years. This is not acceptable and will hit the most vulnerable the hardest. I will aim to completely scrap carbon tax from all essential items, such as home heating and fuel. We can take care of our environment without forcing huge taxes on people.
FREE SPEECH
Free speech is free. If there are any limits on speech, it’s no longer free. At EU level, I would challenge the implementation of the Digital Services Act, which allows for regulation of speech and what the EU deems harmful speech or disinformation. The regulation gives no definition of illegal or harmful content, so it’s basically whatever they decide it is at the time and we all know where that goes.
NEUTRALITY
I strongly believe that Irelands best position is complete neutrality and I will lobby for us to remain so. I believe that this government is trying to end our neutral stance, despite strong public opinion opposing any change.
SOVEREIGNTY
If I’m elected to represent the Irish people at EU level, I’ll fight to restore our sovereignty and cooperate with common sense nationalists from the other member states who wish to do the same.
EU REFORM
It is estimated that nationalists will make up at least 25% of the next EU Parliament and that the two nationalist groups, the ECR and ID, will come together to reform and reshape the EU from within. The aim of these groups is to return powers to individual states, and I really want to be part of that change.
