    A lot of people seem to be viewing this election the wrong way.

    It's not all about kicking these guys out, it's about putting the right people in their place.

    Is there still time for people to register? Don't you have to register a certain number of days before the election?

    They might do yea, it's hard to know who to vote for isn't it.

    So out of all the keyboard warriors on here how many of you will actually challenge the canvassers on the street/ doorstep?

    It's well & good posting about training dogs to attack or making references to tar & feathers but I'd love to know how many will follow through.

    I agree, a rainbow of independents as the junior coalition partners with FG or Labour would be my favoured Gov.

    Expected is the operative word here. If anything is for sure, it's that Fianna Fail could call it for whenever they want and whenever we DON'T want.

    So you're in with the Healy-Rae and Lowry crowd?

    Independents: Independent of everyone except the highest bidder.

    which would be easy to do if we had a time machine to go forward 4 years and see who actually kept their pre election promises

    the fact is, in ireland at least, its pure guesswork regarding who you put in, so imo the only logical decision is to completely shake up the status quo and vote sinn fein. i hate the feckers, but them getting a rake of seats would light a mighty big fire under the arses of the other parties to buck their ideas up
