The Christian Solidarity Party will hold its Commemoration of the 1916 Rising tomorrow, Saturday 18 April in the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin, at 3 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend!
The parallels between our own day and 1916 are too obvious to need pointing out by me. Now, as then, Irish sovereignty is being restricted; now, as then, Catholics suffer discrimination and Catholic values are trampled underfoot. The northern part of our island is still under foreign rule, and the southern part is ruled by a political class which laughingly tramples on the ideals of 1916 while selling more and more of our sovereignty away to Brussels. It's time to take a stand against this, and that's why we are meeting at the Garden of Remembrance tomorrow. Join us there!

Interesting discussion on the CSP and the 2009 elections in Ireland.
A party with no future.
@Peter: I don't agree with you. CSP needs the right people with the right ideas, with strong will, with the right voice and the right people to listen to what CSP is transmitting through those ideas.

You were never asked to agree but the election results highlight the CSP are a party with no future.
A dismal performance for the party.
The best thing the CSP can do is dissolve.
@Peter: Yes, nobody asked about my opinion, but I gave it anyway. I wish there were a party like CSP in Romania.
Yes, it's small and they had a bad year so far, but from this to disolving it... well, it's quite long way, don't you think? Even though I'm not Pro-Life I respect the values of this party. It has more moral values than any party I know, both from Romania or another country. They need strong will and a good voice to speak up and stand in front of their future ellectors. Somehow I know this party will be seen in a different way in the future.
In Ireland many Catholics voted CSP Number 1 so they would transfer the rest of the vote to a more sensible candidate.
CSP supported Libertas, who have flopped. Youth Defence didn't support Libertas.The Christian Solidarity Party have links to Youth Defence.
This group are a fringe element in Ireland. Many Catholics have had to apologise because of the counter-productive antics of Youth Defence.
Coir were lead by Richard Greene. Many in Dublin regard him as a nutter.
Emmanuel Sweeney and others get a mention here.

"Christian Solidarity are running a candidate in the Dublin Central by-election. This is more than a waste of time; it is counter productive. If the CSP were any good, they would have identified potential candidates for the local elections a long time ago and targeted seats - possibly at town council level rather than county or city council first - and then tried to build. But they never listened to this. They don't realise politics is more than just a hobby - it is a very serious business and people do not vote on the basis of agreement with one or two hot issues. Especially if they see evidence of inaction on a lot of other things.
As for Emmanuel Sweeney, I well remember his disgusting outburst prior to the 1995 divorce referendum, which may well have influenced the final result given how narrow it was. It appears this clown doesn't learn. But, Hibernicus, can you remember back in 1991 when the Christian Democrats were launched by him? He had proposals like reducing the opening hours of pubs and opening embassies in Cardiff and Edinburgh. This stole the thunder of a more serious (though ultimately ineffective group) group who opened as the Christian Principles Party (they planned to launch as Christian Democrats). Later they were persuaded to adopt the name Christian Centrist Party and they mutated into Christian Solidarity. Well, whatever chance it had with Ger Casey, they sunk without him."
The CSP are finished.
"By the way, if I was in Dublin Central I would probably cast a protest vote for the CSP in the knowledge that the wonder of PR would enable me to transfer my vote to a serious candidate."
I will be voting Yes to the Lisbon Treaty.
