    Fianna Fail get reelected with the 18% they have incredulously have at the moment

    Might seem incredulous until you realise that we have no one to choose from.

    Where have Fine Gael, Labour, Sinn Fein been ?

    No credible politicians in this country at the moment and it's sickening to think of FG and Labour and how they'll be back slapping each other WHEN they get elected as if they've done this.

    We're choosing you because the other lot messed up - if there was any other option we'd vote for that - isn't exactly a win is it.

    All areas will have independents as candidates, some areas will have three or more of them.

    Most are no hopers and some will top the polls

    There is always somebody to vote for

    Fianna Fail would walk in.They even come up out of the grave to vote for them........the die hards can see nothing wrong with their lies and deceit.

    Their cronies will always be there because they are beneficiaries of their corruption,cute-hoorism and deception.

    We have no credible politicians because "we the people" have shown time and time again that you don't get punished for being not credible, you get re-elected, because (to a significant degree) of voter apathy. Fianna Fáil have shown themselves to be both corrupt and inept. Let them back in and it says it's perfectly acceptable to be corrupt and inept. If FG/Labour prove to be corrupt and inept, they should be voted out too, but they haven't shown that yet (admittedly lack of opportunity is the possible reason)
