    Where's sundry? Sounds like a great place.

    And you can't wait for the next government to fail? Well done.

    I cant understand why people have confidence in him can one of you tell me why you voted yes?

    I was trying to skew the results of the "poll" slightly to elicit just such a response

    Someone puts up a poll on boards minutes after Cowen declares a motion of confidence in himself after the most disastrous term in office of any ff leader ever

    the outcome is a foregone conclusion here and indeed probably everywhere, might as well entertain myself if no one else.

    go on admit it...you think hes a bit of a ride dont ya!

    If it can power a nuclear power plant then surely it should be able to run a country. I mean the theory is sound.

    Oh everybody loved FF when they were raising the social welfare, when they weren't rising the price of a pint, when they were handing out medical cards to everybody in sundry.

    Do you remember though, the outrage from FG? They claimed the social welfare wasn't raised enough. There wasn't enough given to XYZ.
    They didn't say "Hold on now, we really should be tightening our belts".

    Its easy to point the finger after the crap has hit the fan, isn't it?

    And I personally have no faith in opposition whose sole mission is to shout down and ridicule the leader of the country.

    You know what -- I can't wait til FG or Labour get into government. Just to watch them **** up, and fail. Because this is global. There ain't a thing they will be realistically able to do better.

    Actually your right, i know have full confidence in the man running our country who cant even comb his fcukin hair :D

    Is that any better? Incompetence over corruption? The end result's the same.

    All Biffo is doing is covering up for his Anglo buddies.
    None of these b stards will go to jail even though they broke the country at a time when the ordinary person is being thrown on the street by the very banks that we have bailed out!

    Anyone who was watching the press conference with Cowen, in which he said he was staying on, would have seen that he'll be doing a vote of confidence soon. So I thought I would do a boards.ie vote of confidence so. Do you have confidence in Brian Cowen?

    No.
    But if the choice is Brian Cowen or Enda Kenny.... :(

    It doesn't, but how much of a chance do the other parties stand to gain a majority?
    And truth be told, I can't think of any party leader I currently would have any amount of confidence in. Sad, really.

    Either through corruption, incompetence or both, they bankrupted the country by stoking the bubble, appointing a vegetable to regulate the banks, not bothering to check that the vegetable was doing anything, allowing the banks to run mad, then guaranteeing the debts of the mad banks with taxpayers money.

    Cowen has been Taoiseach or finance minister for the last 6 years. The country is now bust. How do you think Fianna Failure and Cowen did?

    It is great for Labour,Fine Gael and even Sinn Fein that he is sticking around as they will gain more support but the longterm damage is far more important,the country is already fcuked beyond repair, who can fix this mess if it even can be fix.
