Irish Political Party Calls For Trump-Style "Muslim Ban"

An emerging new Irish political group, The National Party, has called for a Trump-style “Muslim ban,” and an Australian-style points system that prioritises those of Irish descent.

The call by National Party leader Justin Barrett, a leading pro-life campaigner and the former Youth Defence leader, is sure to provoke the ire of the Political establishment and the Irish liberal press.

The fastest-growing party in the country has created a stir since they first launched, and the latest call with only heighten their prominence on the Irish political stage.

Unlike the other major “nationalist” party, Sinn Féin, the party has taken a tough stance on immigration, abortion, the nation’s current relationship with the EU, and called for the re-introduction of the death penalty and an armed citizenry to act as the defence force .

The birth of the National Party can be seen as being part of a trend of emerging Patriotic and populist groups throughout Europe challenging the established political parties.

The nine principles on which the National party is based are listed below:

1. The National Party believes that the territory of Ireland consists of the whole island of Ireland, its islands and the territorial seas.

2. The National Party believes strongly in the principle of a Constitutional Republic, founded on individual personal freedoms, rights and responsibilities. We reject and resist a totalitarianism whose essence is found in the totality of State power and the exercise of State authority, and not the ideological direction of that totality.

3. The National Party believes that the State is the crucible and natural patrimony of the Nation. The State ought not, therefore, be the master of the Nation, but the Nation the master of the State. It follows that the State should act at all times and in every instance, in the interests of the Nation, embodied in one indivisible Irish people.

4. The National Party recognises the centripetal tendency of the bureaucratic State and its inevitable deleterious consequences in the quality and quantity of State level decision making. We therefore believe that a firm commitment to the principle and application of subsidiarity must be a central tenet of Government at every level.

5. The National Party approaches our membership of the European Union from the principle of refusing to accept the threatened destruction of our Nation’s freedom and will endeavour to restore those freedoms which have already, unjustly, been given away.

6. The National Party believes in an aristocracy of achievement within a democracy of opportunity, practised and established economically by the strong advocacy of Free Productive Enterprise. Consequently, we endorse the inalienable right to the ownership of Private Property and shall defend that right against the equally dangerous encroachment of both State Socialism and Monopoly Capitalism.

7. The National Party opposes unrestricted immigration, placing above all the preservation of national identity and culture as the bedrock of a principled patriotism.

8. The National Party insists that no law should permit the provision of Abortion in Ireland.

9. The National Party demands a complete reform of our criminal justice system, placing the protection of society from criminality as its imperative value, up to and including restoration of the Death Penalty for particularly heinous crimes.
