If a general election were called tomorrow, who would you intend on voting for?

There's a lot of ignorant, anti-governmental rambling going on in After Hours, generally by people who haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about. I hold the opinion that we have the second best government possible right now, behind a FG only government. With people talking about how "shíte" the government are, I'm interested to know who you would vote for if given the opportunity tomorrow.

It'll also be good to measure the results vs the upcoming publishing of the latest Red C poll results to see just how outlandish the people of Boards.ie are.

Options are:

Fine Gael
Fianna Fail
Sinn Fein
Labour
Green
Spoiled Vote
Wouldn't Vote

Independents excluded for obvious reasons.

Poll should attach shortly.

Well not FF... or FG... or Labour. So Sinn Fein I guess?

[Pacifist Pigeon]

Anarcho-Capitalist Libertarian Objectivist Party (ACLOP).

[mikemac1]

Red C have an option for independant and the vote counts the same as any other

[MickySticks]

Fine Gael.

The best of a bad lot IMO.

[Fromthetrees]

Vote Quimby.

[dvpower]

No option for Inds or People Before Profit or the Socialists?

[Domo230]

Despite the Sean Sherlock fiasco I would probably vote Labour.

Labour in power would probably make College affordable for me again.
But the choices are terrible and I would back any new party showing up.

A vote for Sinn Féin is a vote for Ireland Ink.

I just put in the options that would form a government if an election was called tomorrow. I'm sure people have independents or similar that they'd LIKE to be in government, however the back bench and futility is what they're destined to with the current system, so we may as well be realistic.

I'd like a lot of things, but they're not going to happen. However, the above mentioned parties will be those forming the next government and presumably many more to come, so hence the only listed choices for the time being.

Wouldn't go that far now.

[admiralofthefleet]

i would vote NO

[eth0]

Sinn Fein, not because I like them so much but because they havn't had a chance to disappoint me yet

Also missing option: Independents. If SF get into power make a balls of it thats all I'll have left to vote for

[Agent Smith]

I'd Vote FG, with the hope they get an Overall Majority

[eth0]

Why so much support for FG? They're making a right balls of it at the minute..
