Who would you rather have as Taoiseach? Micheàl or Enda?

efb

A new (albeit slightly soiled) broom sweeps clean...

I definitely would rather have Micheàl as our next Taoiseach over Inda.

He seems to be the FFer with the least blood on his hands too and the few successes of the recent FF gov seem to trace back to him.

So AH, who would you rather, Micheàl or Enda?

Cheap Thrills!

I can't choose. I am overcome with utter apathy.

Mushy

I remember Cowens bailout speech being pathetic. I then also remember Enda Kenny not being able to read off a sheet in the Dáil cos he was trying to be so smug about it, so my vote rests entirely with Atari Jaguar.

Shane Ross

He's standing for election in south dublin apparently

Bring in someone from abroad imo.

galwayrush

I don't want anyone from FF to lead this country ever again.

ciano1

Enda have a Honda, so I might just go with him...

Oranage2

Irish politics looks very bleak when these are even options and although I have no faith in Enda Kenny, I rather him in than that FF scum!

Badgermonkey

Bernard McHugh from blind date as taoiseach.

Father Neil Horan as tanaiste

We deserve them

Horse_box

I'd rather Enda, y'know because his party wasn't responsible for the complete destruction and downfall of our nation

Not great choices though, it has to be said!

phasers

Run a nationwide raffle. Winner gets to be Taoiseach, runner up gets a new bicycle.

efb

If only Brian had left his horse, Mary Coughlan, outside... (oh yeah abf that pesky bailout...)

scientific1982

Enda. I really hope this is the end of FF.

Ulysses Gaze

Martin belongs to Fianna Fail and they belong only one place...the dustbin.

What I want is a safe pair of hands running the show for a few years. No big time charlie 'Cult of Personality' leaders like Haughey or Ahern. I'd include Gilmore in this group too btw.

Kenny, even though he has a charisma bypass, is a good administrator and that's what we need now. No flash, no b&ll****. Someone who will organise the country.

Sephiroth_dude

Neither tbh,there both gobeens.

punchdrunk

seriously would consider a vote for Dustin the Turkey if he ran...

Shryke

No one from FF. Just no one from FF. I'd vote for an appalling racist, a convicted murderer, an evil midget, Ted Danson, Johnny Vegas, a mime, someone who's already dead, before I'd give FF a vote. The choices after that are suitably pathetic.

phasers

Ted Danson would be a fine leader.

-Corkie-

Neither. Either Biggins or DR. Bill...:cool:

Manach

A certain Mrs. Thatcher might be available.

baldbear

hmmmm it's like trying to decide between the smellyness of two foul sh*tes.....:(

SEPT 23 1989

o' Cuiv is the general that FF need

hondasam

neither of them but If I had to choose it would be Enda only because he is not FF.

The same clown who pontificates to the younger generation that: 'Yiz have no clue and yiz only want hand outs' when he goes off and does the same thing?

But yeah...I'd back Biggins.....

Yep, the corrupt shower of incompetents that is Fianna Fail was started with Dev. It would be poetic and oh so sweet if it was annihilated under the watch of his grandson.

Rainbow coalition it is so.

Anyone but a FF politician..........

as for FF supporters/apologists/people who say things like its better the devil you know - they need to be ostracized, publicly humiliated, tarred and feathered etc etc

Ebbs

Pearse?

Id love a Taoiseach that can speak in public...without being smug...or an absolute c*nt.

Diddler1977

Anyone BUT a FF politician.

Absurdum

Enda Kenny rocks my socks

squod

Both scumbags TBH.

Nameless1

Yea neither would any good, need some new fresh blood and a good head on there shoulders for example Michael O'Leary or David McWilliams, they'll sort da place out!!

yeah, Pearse would be good.

Ireland needs someone with a backbone to standup to the EU.

Son Of A Vidic

Neither, I'd choose Dustin the turkey quicker.

ninebeanrows

This isn't a 2 party election ya know.

You don't just have to choose between FF and FG, there are other options!

francie82

Can u imagine how bad and stupid it would look on an International stage if Micheál Martin of FF party was to beccome leader of this country......in all fairness this is the problem......
In other countries political party members would be executed for the treason carried out by FF members but here we are contemplating whether our country should be once again led by FF. absolute Joke

As for Enda Kenny,,,,He might come across as a social retard but surely with the backroom staff at FG he cannot make a bigger Balls of this country than what FF has already made.

The people of Ireland have already made the costly mistake of voting FF in 3 times consecutively and look where we are. dis bull**** just amazes me that Micheál Martin would associate himself with the party responsible for screwing its people over and furthermore for the people of ireland to entain Him!

patwicklow

What about Bosco? yeah lets bring back Bosco, be alot better then any Muppets in the dail,

Precious flower

There's no choice really, they're both appalling in my opinion, in fact I think all the parties are appalling to be honest. I think we need another party to run, maybe a party made up of people who are younger and maybe more in tune with the current situation. Is it possible to get a party in government that are not concerned by how big their wages and are willing to make the necessary sacrifices for the benefit of the country?
I think one of the issues is just the politicians being honest with their electorate, instead of confusing us and hiding information from us, to just tell us what exactly the situation is. If we completely fecked then tell us that instead of pretending everything is fine so they can to save themselves.

Mr Trade In

George W Bush before anyone from Fianna Fail.

I have never been a Sinn Féin fan, but i would like to see Pearse Doherty have a go at some stage. At least he has a bit of passion about him

Sergeant

Enda Kenny. He doesn't inspire me, but he doesn't fill me with anger either. And I think some of the FG spokesmenpeople are impressive.
