Justin Barrett has created a new right wing party

CWMMC

The ex leader of the National Party has now created a new political party. The name of it is Clann Eireann and you can guess their principles.

This video of Littler is hilarious. The hand gestures, the thinly-disguised swastikas, the hankering for dictatorship, the whole thing is just perfect if you were going to create a pastiche of far-right loons.

Sweet Jebus, it's like a spoof video.

What a complete and utter weirdo that little man is.

Sam Russell

How can a political party be formed in Ireland that proclaims itself to be anti-democratic, and it has demonic leader who has watched too many videos of large rallies from 1930s Germany?

Surely this is a spoof.

Ok, so as an autistic man myself, I would bet my life that that man both a) has autism and b) his hyperfixation is on the pre and early WW2 hitler speeches. He has the mannerisms copied to a T. I have the same hyperfixation, but thankfully I am not stupid enough to match hyperfixation & a past event, with modern political realities.

He talks about intellect, but I think he is the one suffering from a lack of intellect as he can't distinguish reality from fiction, so much so that, when it comes to his hitler politicking, he's saying the quiet part loud! Even in 1930's germany events like the night of the long knives and hitler's penchant for promoting loyal and stupid over disloyal and brilliant, these were quiet and not mentioned like that.

That entire rant can be characterised as "Saying the quiet part out loud"

That logo as well - "Hmm, how about if we put a Celtic spin on the Swastika?"

Not since O'Duffy and his Blue Shirts of the 1930s - what a joke!

That coat would have been a bolero jacket on any normal sized human. 😂

Can't wait to see who their Deputy Leader will be.

is this some sort of parody comedy sketch? lord jaysus…

Nody

Well all boardsies that been complaining about there not being a right wing enough party can now rejoice at having an alternative…

But eventually, I got out of his headlock. And now, where are you, Father Eamonn Hunter? Working with some pygmies in the South Seas. And where am I? Here accepting a Golden Cleric award for being a top priest... and next we move on to liars!

This new party must mean that he's given up trying to seize back control of the National Party. It sounds like this party is going to replace the Nazi dog whistle with a Nazi Klaxon. I'd be very interested to see who he gets to join it.

Here's a sampling of the comments (most of them sound like Yanks) under the video of that speech on Youtube:

Had a look at the website as well. Looks like a Copy Paste of the National Party site.

Does anyone else think that he has lost the plot even more than before?

From his new website: "Democracy and the Parliamentary system have failed Ireland. We believe this to be an absolute fact."

Isn't that even more extreme than what he proposed under the national party? Maybe he's just saying the quiet part out loud but I do think he's gone even more insane since he got kicked out of the national party.

This is what a PhD in Hitlerology will do to a person.

I like that. I'll be using that meself. I actually thought it was some comedy 'skit'. The state of him.

Unfortunately no. This man actually believes what he is saying.

Ah stop.

All over Europe the far right have copped that you need to play down the Nazi stuff but this clown has gone full tilt the other direction.

That gold thing was comedy...er gold!

aka the National Party of Ireland to distinguish it from his former comrades in the Irish National Party

If you're going to fully embrace Hitler's master race ideology, could they not to better than such a weak, greasy little man?

Rules for these sort of parties for anybody looking for tips!

A . Please no fascist parties.

If you must create one though, at least have someone charismatic or very attractive as leader, because yeah Justin ain't got the IT factor to say the least.

The knock-off Nazi aesthetic is something else 🤣 I wonder what the lads at Vistaprint thought when they got sent over the designs for those roll up banners

"conformité européenne" 🤣

Seriously is there any possibility that this fella has been taking the piss all along? A clever satire on the far right?

Agreed that most are likely Yanks with a very very tenous connection to Ireland. Talking about "EIREANN GO BRAGH", and then some old guff about "blood and soil" is usually a giveaway.
