As the UK general election campaign unfolds, national service is the big Tory policy offering to the young electorate. The UK Labour Party picks up significant business support. We look at how this compared to Sinn Féin in Ireland, which has traditionally lacked such support. Ireland’s far-right is a real movement, but the local elections might reveal it to be a movement absent from the doorsteps. We discuss this and the European elections which show increased support for right-of-government candidates. Finally, how can we all participate in stock markets? Ireland has a low participation rate relative to other countries (especially the US). Even in the US, stock ownership is tilted towards the top 1%.
