Similar to the Leaving Certificate Examination.

I think there should.

Rule by experts? That's what they want. What do you know about vaccines? Are you a virologist? No? well shut up and take the shot. What do you know about climate change, are you a Phd level climate scientist? No? well shut up and step out of that car. Are you a trained economist? No?, well shut up and give us your spare bed room for Mr Patel and his family of tech specialists.. An ability to perform well in State set examinations shows merely that you can do what the State wants.

If anything political seats should set as a quota/percentage of the working profile of the country. 23% agricultural workers = 23% seats reserved for farmers etc. No ability to stand for election unless you have served as considerable period of time in a productive trade or profession. A bar placed on people standing in election if they have worked for an NGO.

Fair observations all.
The main qualifications should be to have worked in real non ngo, non su jobs.
Preferably from the private sector.
Own a business big or small yes! a good base.
A bit of real world experience in the work place should be an absolute must.

More to the point, there should be an examination for those who want to post publicly on internet fora.

Just the basics. Like say the catholic church requires children to have reached the age of reason, have a basic knowledge of the sacrament, and know the difference between Brennan's bread that you stick in your toaster, and the wafers you buy in Abbey bookshop that a priest waved his hands over chanting gobbledygook.

Similarly forum contributors should have a basic faculty of reasoning, a very basic knowledge of how the world works, and that there exists cause and effect beyond some tricksy Jews always pulling the strings. They should at least know what politics and economics are.

Such an examination would improve this forum no end.

I would like to see the voting age increased to 45, and only those over the age of 60 eligible to stand for election. The electorate have proven themselves to be utterly degenerate, and simply can't be trusted to make important decisions.

What kind of system affords the same weight to the vote of an Instagram, smart phone-addicted retard and that of a wise, learned individual with plenty of life experience.

Have members of this board spoken to anyone under the age of 30? They're beyond stupid, semi-literate. They don't know anything, and aren't curious about anything. Most of them are high. I wouldn't trust them to tie a shoelace.

Get rid of universal suffrage democracy and replace it with a better system ffs.

You realise that most people over 60 are stuck in the post WW2 paradigm of not being racist?

Dan (AKA @Declan) mentioned John Waters in his latest YouTube video, one of a tiny handful of people (of any age) in this country who I've given credit to. But we really are in a hopeless state in Ireland, the last thing we need is "wisdom", what we need is racism, and I think thats more likely to come from younger people

In recent videos, I mentioned nationalists that said that anyone can speak except the two “outcasts” of barrett and McConnell with Blyghe almost in the mix to make it 3.

And there-in lies the predicament, most have not accepted for themselves, the true problem. And therefore will get get the solution

They should all get ~ The Big Finger ( the biggest that can be found ) since the Joe Biden Cancer revelation ~ ~ You have that type of cancer for a long time by the way, and that fucker, Biden would be getting tested plenty !

And, I am afraid as the TD's don't know the difference between a Woman and a Man, the Women TD's also have to get, The Biggest Finger as well !

Given the lefty/shinner, compromised RTE media in this country.
This makes a good read.
Came across this guys warnings about infiltration and societies being destroyed years ago.
Now this pops up.
