> Joining the Palestinian issue on 2 per cent in the list of things that people really don’t care about is climate change, a result which will cause even greater rancour than our apparent indifference to the war in Gaza.
> Again, just like the Middle East, climate change has become one of those issues in which the great and the good of the Irish establishment like to think we can become world leaders and show everyone else how it’s done. But, just like every other issue which involves ordinary Irish people, they have got it completely wrong.
> There is something undeniably hilarious about the vast gulf between the issues which energise the middle class, liberal intelligentsia and the average working stiff on the street. But this growing disconnect between the voters and the people they vote for is sobering as well. There has been a near total failure of the establishment to understand the issues which are of genuine concern to real people, as opposed to the issues they think people should be obsessing over.
