Donald Trump tweeted this morning that "they are trying to STEAL the Election". Of course, the man trying to steal the election is the candidate of the far right, Donald Trump. He now wants to go to the Supreme Court to stop the counting of ballots. I have no faith that Joe Biden or the Democratic Party can stop this election from being stolen. It was their dreadful pro-big business, corporate campaign that let Donald Trump get this close in the first place. I support the call of the Socialist Alternative organisation in the United States for mass demonstrations and civil disobedience should he try to steal the election.

The programme for Government says that we will "Strongly advocate for democracy and democratic values". I hear muttering from some Trump supporters on the floor of the Dáil, by the way, but this is what the programme for Government says. Will the Taoiseach also support the call for mass demonstrations and civil disobedience should Trump try to steal the election?
