Elect Real Opposition

A political service that puts common sense thinking at its core, offering innovative policies and solutions. We advocate for a better quality of life for all while maintaining a balance and respect for each other’s values, inalienable rights, and freedoms. While raising community awareness to build consensus among people on individual freedoms, civil liberties, anti-racism, anti-homophobia, anti-woke, and limited government, free from extreme left/right divisiveness.

We prioritise Irish people, sovereignty, personal autonomy, and free-market principles while upholding constitutionally recognised natural rights, including freedom of speech and movement. All within the framework of a truly republican government, as enshrined in the groundbreaking proclamation of the Easter Rising 1916.

Key Policy Positions

Immigration

We want a freeze on all legal immigration, detain/deport illegal immigrants, and fine immigrants who have overstayed their visas. Automatic denial of asylum to immigrants who enter Ireland illegally. Deport failed asylum seekers within 24 hours of the final decision. Deport foreign prisoners within 24 hours of completing their prison sentence. We want limits on visas, asylum seekers, and refugees that guarantee a low impact on the Irish people. No social welfare support for asylum seekers. Prohibit all non-Irish, asylum seekers and refugees from council and affordable housing, and help to buy schemes. We want to change refugee rights to apply for Irish Citizenship from the current 3 years to 10 years. We strongly oppose political and business elites exploiting the asylum system and the people within it for huge state payouts costing the Irish people billions of euros and demand corruption investigations.

Housing

We prioritise the housing of the Irish and are fighting the cartel of greed that enforces reckless open borders and market manipulation – the primary causes of the housing emergency. Freeze rent increases until the housing crisis has ended. Ban no-fault evictions, treat all housing rental properties as a business and cut taxation on Landlords down to the 12.5% corporate rate under certain T&Cs to dramatically lower rents and make rental income pensionable. A 10-year prohibition on foreign persons/corporations from buying residential property in Ireland. Kick out cuckoo/vulture funds forever. Block asylum seekers and refugees from access to council/affordable housing and help to buy schemes. We want planning reform and innovative home-building solutions that dramatically increase council and affordable housing. We will campaign for the Central Bank to recognise monthly rent payments to qualify for a mortgage without a deposit.

True Green

Green solutions for positive change without economic suicide or penalties that challenge carbon pseudoscience put forward by the loopy Greens and UN climate cult sacrificing the Irish people on the altar of climate change.

Cost of Living

The government is the primary driver behind the ever-rising cost of living. Abolish property tax, USC and all carbon taxes. Demand that state-owned energy suppliers reduce profits. Lower rates for businesses. Cut taxes on petrol/diesel and regulate pump prices. Tighten price regulations on essential groceries to make food more affordable. Stop the anti-car agenda deliberately increasing costs. We strongly oppose a per-KM road tax.

Anti-Fascism

Defending Ireland from greedy globalist elites attempting to put us all under UN EU WEF fascist control through elected traitors, unelected bureaucrats and their NGO agents.

Health

Our health system is well funded; the problem is mismanagement. The HSE has too many managers and not enough frontline doctors and nurses. We want to restructure our health service from the ground up, putting patient care at its heart, not bureaucracy. We demand better oversight of funding to achieve better value for money. Reducing the cost of living, especially in housing, would help prevent Doctors and Nurses from being forced to emigrate.

Other Initial Policies

More to follow.

The following initial policies are listed alphabetically, and we will continue to adjust, add and update them over the coming weeks and months.

As the people have already decided on this via referendum, our position as a political service is to respect the people’s decision. We leave it up to our members to retain their personal views on the matter and decide what or any legislative oversight is required.

It is every child’s human right to develop and experience puberty with no unnatural interference. Giving children puberty blockers is a kin to genital mutilation.

We aim to abolish the deceptive and unconstitutional citizen’s assembly and rightfully restore the direct democracy process to ensure the people’s will is achieved and maintained.

Remain as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), but stop and reverse the merging of Ireland into the EU superstate. Irish sovereignty trumps EU.

Protect our food supply by protecting our farming and fishing communities. Irish produce is some of the best in the world, and Irish food producers don’t need unnecessary red tape from the EU centralised bureaucracy.

As a fundamental integral part of democracy, everyone has a natural right to speak their minds and voice opinions without censorship or penalty. We say no to thought crimes, compelled speech, and hate speech laws.

There are only two sexes: male/man (XY) and female/woman (XX).

Abolish all inheritance taxes, as they are double taxation on money already earned and could also be considered triple taxation when including property taxes. The state has no right to take a cut off people’s inheritance; it is wrong.

Enforce zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour. Increase stop and search to tackle rising knife crime. Better educate Gardai on upholding and abiding by the Irish Constitution. Deport all foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes. Return to the original ethos of An Garda Síochána to protect the peace – not policy enforcers of the state.

We respect and defend the rights of all consenting adults to their personal bodily autonomy and sexual preferences.

Legislation to require all businesses to accept cash at all times and banks to guarantee everyone access to a bank account, transaction privacy, and zero restrictions on all purchases.

To reduce the cost of motoring, dramatically cut taxes on petrol/diesel and better regulate pump prices, plus cut rip-off motor tax and VRT. Enforce lower insurance premiums. Reduce road toll costs and abolish the M50 and other motorway tolls. End anti-motorist agendas that are deliberately destroying the freedom of private transportation and remove ridiculous cycle lanes where necessary.

Maintain and practice our wise neutrality policy as set out by the founders of the Irish state. Thus, use this position to advocate for world peace.

Help genuine refugees within realistic resource parameters under set limits. Ireland is currently overloaded with too many refugees and asylum seekers, which is causing national destabilisation. We must reduce the number of refugees, limit the number of asylum-seeker applications per year, weed out fraudulent claimants, and put a moratorium on all new applicants. Discourage/deport economic migrants posing as asylum seekers attempting to game our system. Reduce over-generous supports and benefits to match that of the EU average. Permanently cease all support to any refugee who leaves the state to return to their country of origin. Enforce prosecutions of welfare fraud. Deport lawbreakers and criminals.

We respect the right of all adults to choose how they wish to live their lives, provided they do not intrude on other people’s rights.

Abolish TV license. Fund all qualified media broadcasters and publications from state funding under new public oversight measures.
