They Do Not Have A Government In Ireland Poem by Francis Duggan

They do not have a Government in Ireland since any political party do not have a majority
The two major political parties formed out of the Irish Civil War in the early nineteen twenties on forming a government cannot agree
But Ireland would do fine without a government the Irish civil service would govern the country quite okay
At least it would remove most of the political nepotism that has been the ruination of the Ireland of today
Between them Fianna Fail and Fine Gael cannot agree to form a government though they have the numbers to do so
The old hatreds in Ireland do linger of a civil war fought more than ninety years ago
A minority government for Ireland is an option though that in time may not last long
The mistrust from the civil war lingers and political mistrust it is always strong
Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are only civil war political parties a link to Ireland's tragic past
But political change is occurring in Ireland and seems to be happening quite fast
As other parties and independents are getting stronger and one political party in Ireland will never again rule
Another general election in 2016 in Ireland for further change can be the fuel
The civil servants can rule Ireland who needs political parties or politicians anyway
They only survive by nepotism and the Country without them would be okay.
