That is the spirit and the motive which guides the National Party into 2018, stronger than we would have expected but not nearly yet strong enough.

Intelligent enough to know where our strengths are and, yes, our weaknesses too. 

Smarter than our enemies unless they show something we have not yet seen. Confident without false hope, organising rapidly but emphasising character over numbers, determined for the long struggle yet ready to seize opportunities presented. 

And none of it for ourselves which is why we cannot be understood, except by those who share our faith, cannot be defeated by any force, save one that could fathom self-sacrifice and we have no such enemies.

We are not deluded. 2018 will not bring victory, but just as 2017, it will bring more of the means. To all who have been with us thus far, be proud of what you have done, and do more.

Ar Dheis Ar Aghaidh!

Justin Barrett,
Uachtarán An Pháirtí Náisiúnta
