Today is a new dawn for Irish politics as I formally launch my Democratic Republican Party with the motto, 'Ireland for True Patriots'.
At long last, too, SDLP delegates have seen my common sense approach to nationalist unity and elected Big Al McDonnell as their boss.
The DRP badge will be a red hand, brandishing a green torch, proudly displaying an orange flame.
Hopefully, too, Big Al will undo the slap in the face given to political visionary and Ballymena Stoop councillor Declan O'Loan.
I was one of the first columnists to call for a single nationalist party, merging the Stoops and Shinners.
But when Dekki unveiled his call for a single nationalist party, the SDLP leadership virtually cut his political balls off and he was temporarily banished to the Stormont back benches.
And in spite of the ball-busting rollercoaster ride to Hell which Shinner top gun Marty McGuinness suffered at the hands of some Southern pundits, he still picked up the bronze medal in the Irish Presidential race.
But what McGuinness really achieved was to position the Shinners in a prime spot to allow Gerry Adams' team to notch up at least 20 TDs in the next Dáil showdown.
That would elevate Sinn Féin from being a highly vocal minority to leading contender to form a coalition government.
If that happens, it will leave the Shinners not just with elected representatives in Stormont and Leinster House, but an integral part of the parliaments in both states.
And if that becomes a reality, Big Al's jibe about putting out the lights will apply to the Stoops, just as the Gerry Fitt-led SDLP blew the lights out on Eddie McAteer's old Stormont Nationalist Party.
Big Al can have all the fancy policies he wants, and all the bright sparks to boost the Stoops' coffers, but unless he creates a Southern merger, he stands no chance of halting the Shinner bandwagon.
It's not a simple question of the Stoops organising south of the border in the same way as the election-battered Fianna Fáil has formed in the North.
The SDLP contesting Southern polls will merely split the moderate nationalist vote even further, allowing the Shinners to capture even more Dáil and council seats.
Sinn Féin can only be combated by recognising the merits of my new party, with Big Al as its new boss.
Fianna Fáil is in meltdown, and its title – the Soldiers of Destiny – to too provocative for a modern Ireland. Fine Gael is also politically buggered and has too many historical links to O'Duffy's fascist Blueshirt movement.
The Stoops and Fianna Fáil must merge to become my Democratic Republican Party and win back northern and southern middle class voters who have defected to Sinn Féin.
The DRP will adopt an 'Ireland for the Irish' policy regarding the eurozone, euro bailout and EU membership. Brussels and Strasbourg will strangle Ireland economically.
The South could spend generations paying back the bailout cash, while the North is facing the millstone of farming fines.
The DRP could also attract significant Protestant votes. Many working class Northern loyalists are complaining the middle class dominated Unionist parties have turned their backs on Protestant estates.
The DRP will go far further than the tough talking rhetoric of Fine Gael boss Enda Kenny's criticism of the Vatican.
My DRP will implement a root and branch probe into clerical abuse. No parish will be left untouched.
If Big Paisley can be photographed with Adams, and then sit in government with Marty, don't laugh when I say that one day Big Al McDonnell could either sit as my DRP First Minister, or even better – the first DRP Taoiseach.
