A giant of the political stage, with enormous success and failures. Deeply flawed, like the rest of us. RIP Charlie.

One of the best politicians money could buy

The Morriseys sang it, I think, original song about the Jacobite rebellion in Scotland by bonnie prince Charlie in the 1740s, used in the June 1981 general election when C J came within a few hundred votes of holding power, losing just 4 seats, the h block candidates and the stardust disaster postponing the FF Ard dheis were contributing factors for falling short

Imagine how much more would have happened without all the ruthlessness and corruption, though. This man could have been one of the greatest politicians of all human history if not for his own avarice.

I met Charlie once... "Who are you" I still love the man.. Ha.. Ha.. "Go dance on someone else's grave" and some old hateful individual did it right here on KZread after he died..

its like what dean swift once said "All men are capable of being corruptible, its just those that are seemingly incorruptible set the highest price on there deceit" if charles haughey was corrupt why did his corruption get exposed and not others

@cahillgreg

6 жыл бұрын

Simply because the sheer scale of his corruption exceeded most others (proportionately greater risk of being exposed) & occupying the highest office in the land brought a greater degree of scrutiny. He was an incorrigible charlatan who fell so far that he had to step down.

It's an Irish song which was written by an Irish folk band in support of a politician (Charlie Haughey) of one of Ireland's political parties as an election campaign song. I think he was the prime minister at the time running for re-election in 1981.

there are areas i disagree with Haughey on (mainly his push on the euro), and lets face it he was a man who liked to look after himself too lol but i cant help but love him, his political story was Shakespearean and he was one of the few heads of state we had who had vision (a lot of which doesn't get talked about), i know the 80s were a very tough time (the FF later PD traitors didnt help) but Hughey tried to bring Hibernia into the future even if he needed to do it kicking and screaming. hopefully someday we see a leader with at least his drive and vision again here. hail the leader, hail the man
