The New Irish Constitution

Fol­low­ing the Irish Government’s decision to modify the con­sti­tu­tion of 1937 fol­low­ing a new con­sti­tu­tional con­ven­tion, the Ice Moon Blog — which has con­tacts in the highest places in the Irish State — has been able to obtain a secret gov­ern­ment memo with a full mock-​up of the new con­sti­tu­tion to be amended after the Fiscal Com­pact Ref­er­en­dum. The fol­low­ing are the rel­ev­ant new articles:

Art­icle 1

The Irish nation hereby abrog­ates its inali­en­able, inde­feas­ible, and sov­er­eign right to choose its own form of Gov­ern­ment, to determ­ine its rela­tions with other nations, and to develop its life, polit­ical, eco­nomic and cul­tural, in accord­ance with its own genius and tra­di­tions and con­fers these rights on another crowd altogether.

Art­icle 5

Ire­land is a depend­ancy of the Inter­na­tional Mon­et­ary Fund with a lot of really nice pubs.

Art­icle 6

All powers of gov­ern­ment, legis­lat­ive, exec­ut­ive and judi­cial, derive, under the IMF, from the EU, whose right it is to des­ig­nate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all ques­tions of national policy, accord­ing to the require­ments of the rul­ing class at present con­sti­tuted as mul­tina­tional corporations.

Art­icle 10

All nat­ural resources, includ­ing the air and all forms of poten­tial energy, within the jur­is­dic­tion of the Par­lia­ment and Gov­ern­ment estab­lished by this Con­sti­tu­tion and all roy­al­ties and fran­chises within that jur­is­dic­tion belong to the highest bidder.

Art­icle 11

All rev­en­ues of the State from whatever source arising shall, without excep­tion, form one fund, and shall be appro­pri­ated for the pur­poses of main­tain­ing hold­ers of bonds in Irish banks in the com­fort to which they have become accustomed.

Art­icle 28

The Gov­ern­ment shall be respons­ible for noth­ing. The pre­vi­ous gov­ern­ment shall be respons­ible for everything.

Art­icle 29

Ire­land affirms its devo­tion to the cor­por­ate ideal, cap­it­al­ism, profit, co-​operation with the USA, and denies any sense of solid­ar­ity with other nations espe­cially Greece.

Art­icle 34

Justice shall be admin­istered in courts estab­lished by law by judges appoin­ted in the man­ner provided by this Con­sti­tu­tion, with extreme sever­ity against the poor, the dis­sid­ent and the weak, but shall not apply to the rich and power­ful espe­cially cor­rupt politi­cians, the bankers who bank­rup­ted the coun­try or the people who pro­tec­ted them.

Art­icle 50

Laws enacted by the Oire­achtas shall be checked first with the Bundesbank.
