#AONTÚACCOUNTABILITY
Aontú is a grassroots all-Ireland movement, dedicated to Life, Unity and Economic Justice for all. We are Ireland’s fastest growing political movement.
In recent years Aontú successfully fought two referendums. We won 8 council seats in the local elections. Aontú surpassed Labour, the Soc Dems and PbP in votes in the European election. We challenged the political establishment in the general elections in the north.
Aontú achieved the highest increase in votes of any party in the general election. We increased our Dáil representation with the addition of Paul Lawless TD in Mayo. Just under 100,000 people have given Aontú their 1st preference vote in the last general elections north and south.
That progress has been down to our candidates, membership, and supporters. Thousands of Aontú members are working throughout the country to make their communities and this country a better place. Aontú is the best organised opposition to the damage and waste of this government.
There is a growing chasm between the political establishment and the people. There is a political bubble in Ireland which separates the elite from the people they are meant to serve. On so many different issues Aontú is the only party listening to the people. Aontú has injected common sense back into the political debate. We have prioritised bread and butter politics, like housing and the cost-of-living crisis, in a system that is distracted by woke culture wars. We have sought to protect hard pressed families from the government-imposed Cost of Living crisis.
Irish people have suffered significantly from the lack of infrastructure. Hundreds of thousands of families do not have safe secure home. The National Children’s Hospital is an example of much needed health infrastructure delivered at a snail’s pace ballooning out of all cost controls. The reason for this, is that the Irish political establishment is an accountability free zone. No one is ever held to account. Aontú is seeks to change this. There must be a cost to senior politicians and civil servants for wasting taxpayers’ money. Aontú will ensure accountability.

The Irish political system is radically broken
Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.
Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
