New party vote share?

How are you going to do that?

Lay off thousands of people?

How do you plan on paying for their redundancy?

How do you plan on paying for their welfare while they are looking for new jobs ?

And finally how will you deal with the backlash at election time?

But just to confirm, none of your employees pay an effective rate of tax of 50%?

I hope you've a good accountant for your company given your lack of grasp of the Irish taxation system.

The tax free thresholds we have in Ireland have to be offset elsewhere, therefore income tax rates increasing to 40% over €40k (from 2023). Where do you expect Ireland to get its tax revenues from if we remove LPT, USC and cut income tax receipts as per your grand plan?

I'm well aware, where did I say otherwise?

The poster referred to a 50% income tax rate. There's no such thing. We have 20% and 40%.

The 48.5% includes PRSI and USC.

You haven't identified what the "crap" you are going to stop spending on is.

And don't just say "NGOs", because that will just show you don't know what it is. Most "NGO" funding from the state is so they can provide services - mental health, social care, homeless services etc - that the state is not providing. Spending that would have to be replaced 1:1 with HSE, Department of Education or Department of Children immediately.

OP hasn’t a notion how politics, or running a multi billion economy works.

I suspect they also have no idea how business works, and are as far removed from running a business as is possible.

Well I would replace property tax with more meaningful local service charges. So charges for services provided by local & state authorities where availed of: so refuse, recycling, water, sewage, libraries, parks, local footpaths, cycleways and local roads etc. Standard rates across the state with a balancing redistribution to less populated parts. All house occupants to pay, no freebies for social housing. Exemptions only for the likes of refuse, water & sewage where people either pay local contractors or on group schemes, own wells etc.

Lots of generic populist far-right calling points there, none of which will save anything.

Foreign aid is a major part of the countries international reputation. Its a very much expected part of being a proper country. Don't expect to be treated particularly well by other countries if you don't do it - there's a reason even the furthest right US governments still did. If you want to do a Kwarteng and crash all market confidence in your economy, cutting your foreign aid spending is going to spook everyone.

Actual illegal immigrants - those here without permission or an ongoing asylum application - cost the state nothing as they can't claim anything. Are you proposing deporting those with current applications? Because that's not possible.

We have incredibly progressive taxation already. "Let me personally pay less" does not mean something is progressive, but that's what you mean isn't it?

"NGO spending" is our health, education and homeless services for the most part. You know you'll have to put that much if not more in the HSE, Department of Children and Department of Education budgets to replace it? We aren't spending 5bn on basket weaving classes, its going on providing services the state just doens't provide under its own banner

Tougher sentencing costs money, it doesn't save it. Cutting legal aid is probably just going to result in more people in prison, costing even more.

Try again. Try a lot harder if you want something that people would actually vote for, too. We already have multiple far right parties and they fight to share 2% of the vote between them.

The US has a ridiculous proportion of its population locked up at any given time and has a pathetically funded public defender system.

Has it done anything to reduce crime rates, recividism etc?

No, no it hasn't. Nor will it ever.

Its a generic far-right call, but it does nothing. It was being given as a proposed cost saving when it wouldn't save a thing - but they just had to get it in there anyway.

What is far right about enforcing existing laws?

It's empty populism because it's easy to put down on paper but much harder to implement.

Theses "new party" threads with all their plans a two a penny around here

The poster mentions:

More prisons

Where are you going to build them?

Get rid of LPT, USC and VRT

What are you going to replace the revenue with?

Get rid of NGOs

How are you going to replace the services they deliver and how are you going to pay for it?

Reform the HSE

What exactly does that reform look like.

Same with the AGS reform.

And they also say "More stick less carrot for the scum"

Who exactly of the electorate are they calling "scum"?
