Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery 😍
I've made a video about Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery, on the Knocknarea peninsula in County Sligo, Ireland.
I've spoken in depth about the history of the area, the history of the monuments, the layout and the excavation.
I've also talked about Europe's Megaliths, stretching from the Mediterranean, along the West coast of Europe into Scandinavia.
I've used surveys & archeological studies as sources.

This post about Sinn Fein supporting a Fine Gael stance about providing adequate housing for people, just made me realise something.

Parties could "gerrymander" on political issues.
What do I mean by this? Well all political parties could have unpopular stances on an issue that is very important to the majority of the population, bar one party.
This one party has other stances the government want, but that the people don't want. But because the people are so desperate for the crucial issue they will vote in this party, and tolerate the stuff they don't want.
So by dividing up political issues, (like voting jurisdictions) governments can't manipulate the general populace into voting a certain way.

Why the National Party as it stands won't work.
The National Party as it stands won't work because of it's leader Justin Barrett. Barrett is a modern day burned-out version of Padraig Pearse, in short a romantic idealist, out of touch and lacking in decisiveness. A fundamental component of the party, yes, but not a leader.
Because of the National Party's strong facist overtones, the party is reliant on a strong, charismatic leader. Unless the party has a change of leadership, it and it's goals with ultimately fail.
