Of course, there are many problems with the current system, which Aonghuis. free census records In

I often do not comment on politics here, but the report of the Constituency Commission today a proposal to reduce the number of politicians free census records and the electoral areas to re-draw. And because the map was drawn to my attention by ...
Initially it is proposed in future to reduce much TDs - from 166 today to 158 in the future. An article in the Constitution that prohibits the amount of TD's there: should, according to the Constitution, that no one TD for every 20,000 to 30,000 people. And the country's population continues to grow restricted the commission's power to reduce the number of dTDanna. To compare other countries with a population as ours, there are 179 in the Danish Folketing, and 120 in the New Zealand Government. Only one house Oireachtas in those countries, however, and our 60 senator included, following much like the politicians free census records in the three countries ... Ireland (population 4.5 million) - 218 national politicians USA and Denmark (population 5.6m) - national politicians 179 New Zealand (population 4.4 million) - 120 national politicians is clear that government is weak in the USA and Denmark than in New Zealand, they do not suffer due to lack of politicians! free census records I think there is too much we TDs. Of course, creating free census records a wreck because of re-drawing of constituency among the politicians. Especially free census records those cases where their constituents charged up various counties. But I do not have any problem at ordinary Irish people to reduce their numbers significantly more stringent free census records than proposed by the Commission. If they are willing to change the constitution in a referendum to get rid of the Senate (I have a policy in favor of), why is not the same thing to the section related to the amount of dTDanna?
Number of TDs is not the problem, but the weakness of the legislature free census records because the whips system. This means that we not only TDs Couriers By! Not only do they make a nonsense questions about pension Mary Jo and streets. A result free census records of this change, however, the question arises worse as there will be less TDs from outside the golden circle of the Government. Delete Reply
Of course, there are many problems with the current system, which Aonghuis. free census records In particular the pressure on TDs dealing with minor fhadbhanna to local voters. And you agree that much power whips róláidir. But the problems free census records associated with a number of politicians. You could put 200 TD in the Dáil and the same problems would not change the system from below. It is a small step forward this decrease (although not enough is a big step in my opinion). But it is only one step on a long road of reform ... I hope ... although I am not optimistic about ... Delete Reply
Step back in place, I think, because 3 is the number of electoral seats - works to benefit the major parties - raised. In that it is influenced by the current legislature, as a result of the scene are Independent & mionpháirtithe it. Interrogate those who understand the Government; sometimes improve matters arising.

Hmmmm ... I'm not sure about the first opinion then, that Aonghuis. Many independent and elected representative of the constituency SF smallest in the country last year. For example, two independent South Kerry (3 seats), two independent in both SF and 3-seat constituency in nDnaG. Independent Finian McGrath free census records came, Ming Flanagan, Michael Lowry, Mattie McGrath and Seamus Healy, and SF TD Dessie Ellis, Martin Ferris and Michael Colreavy from 3-seat constituencies also. (I know that there is a strong link ML, MMcG and Jackie Healy-Rae major parties.) Delete Reply
