A Fundamental Mistake FF/FG Refuses To Accept Or Understand.
.
There’s a known saying – I’m sure you know it – “To err is human”. The words expressing that by our very nature, emotional and subconscious make-up, we as humans are never going to be perfect in everything we do all the time – so yes, we are all going to make mistakes at times.
.
Following on from that basic acceptance of thought, as political parties are indeed made up of humans, therefore we have to (reluctantly if need be) accept that political parties therefore make mistakes.
.
However, what makes parties better from those that all make mistakes, is based both on an individuals and party’s ability to not only then recognise those mistakes but to further learn from them too.
.
There are no perfect people out there and there are no perfect parties out there. We must accept there never will be – because the core ingredient is humans.
.
In Ireland, since 1922 and the foundation of the state – and from when things really started to go more rotten after a Sean Le Mass government, long established political parties of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, later joined by the Labour and the Green Party, have made a mountain of mistakes.
.
Had they been willing and still willing, to learn from their individual and collective mistakes made, many people in Ireland might have been more willing to acknowledge their basic human frailties and then judge them in better light if they even attempted to correct their human and party mistakes.
.
Sadly, as decades of continuing political greed, job cronyism, dodgy financial antics, much repeated law breaking and continuous report burying (to name a few antics) acts continues, it’s very clear that traditional parties of old are:
.
1. NOT willing to admit their mistakes and
2. NOT willing to correct their immoral and often, illegal ways.
.
No surprise then that all this and more, is coming back to slowly – or faster with social media sharing of information – to haunt them. It will haunt them into the coming years and decades.
.
This morning we discover even more details about jobs awarded ‘for the boys’, questionable people let off owing millions (must have learned from one Mrs Doherty), more mistakes and jobs not done or not likely to be done because of the next excuse they can take advantage of, and overall – they continue to do wrong. It’s non-stop.
.
To the non-blinkered it is very clear they are NOT going to change their ways. We now have decades of evidence showing this. It’s clear therefore that if they are not going to change their ways – the rest of us then must!
.
In short: we must decide not only to chose fresh and different alternatives to represent us, but we must also educate others, politely and professionally, to seeing what now must be done by ourselves.
.
Will we too make mistakes? Absolutely – we are each human – but we have the capability to see these mistakes, acknowledge them and then learn from them. That path of humanity leads to a better future for all – that yes, encompasses those that are still unwilling to learn. It’s a price we have to pay for overall, gaining a better, non-discriminatory, better human rights, brighter future.
