    I'd vote for me, I want to run in the next election as an independant - my slogan is going to be "I'm only in it for the money!"

    Its spelt Sinn Fein not "Feinn"

    You forgot the Greens who have 6 TDs (though not for much longer, LOL) the Socialists who have an MEP and a good shot at getting a TD in Dublin North, and People before Profit who have several councillors and a shot at a seat in Dun Laoghaire.

    Greens fwiw.

    The Atari Jaguar Party for me.

    I don't live in Ireland and if I did, I wouldn't vote for any of them anyway.

    Fianna Fail.

    Their good for business in Ireland.

    They look after people with wealth, for instance low capital tax rates and high inheritance thresholds.

    Ultimately, that is right objective to have. Wealthy families and individuals will get this country back to growth with renewed investment. How will they invest... by having surplus funds derived from favorable governmental policies.

    Hope they get no where near government, they'd be even worse than the greens

    Fine Gael. It's disappointing that so many people have voted Labour. A party for less cuts is something this country simply can not afford.

    It's actually "Sinn Féin". Accents in other languages are as important as apostrophes in English!

    Is this an attempt at Trolling?

    I wonder if this is going to be another situation similar to what happened to the Lib Dems in the UK; massive support pre-election, no gains on the day itself: all the polls currently show Labour as being super popular, but when it comes to election day, I suspect people will realise they have NO idea who their local Labour rep is and just plump with the local FF councillor - shur didn't he get the GAA pitch relaid!

    Heck, I don't even know if I HAVE a local Labour rep (Cavan / Monaghan)

    Labour hasn't outlined how it intends to deal with the Economic crisis...

    It hasn't even released any policy information... so I'm not really sure how they have so much support? They could sink the country in a week I fear... and the people that vote for them would be non the wiser...

    So why vote Labour folks, if you don't actually know what they'll do?
