    Are you an FF voter, but unhappy with the current state of affairs?
    Well, you are in a position to deliver the best protest vote this State have ever seen.

    Michael Martin tried during the leaders debate tried to airbrush the past 14 years out of history when he has been a central and influential figure in Government. He has voted for cuts in welfare, wages and cutbacks.

    If you still want to vote FF, but are unhappy with the current gang, then give Michael McGrath your number 1 preference, knocking out Michael Martin sends a vote of protest and still elects a Fianna Fail candidate.

    I'd laugh for a week if party leader MeHole Martin didn't get his seat.

    well, it would be a laugh, but more importantly it would send the right message about dishonesty in public office, but it is in the hands of the Citizens of the PRC

    Its shocking how many people down here will vote for the incompetent snake just cos he's 'from de parish.' :mad:

    Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant. And some of these people's opinions I'd actually normally respect. Unbelievable. :(

    The old "the best way to vote out FF, is to vote for FF" trick.

    Martin is nailed on to get elected.

    You just want a second seat.

    The older version of this was the "vote for FF last preference, that will learn them" bs.

    No, hand on heart I'd rather see no FF deputy returned.
    Some people will always vote FF, but are unhappy with the current situation.

    My dad always voted FF, and many others would be that way, but this way they could register a brilliant protest vote

    Its the older voter who are least affected by the budgets of the last 2-3 years. They'll always forgive their beloved FF in the secrecy of the polling booth.

    I know my auld fella will. :rolleyes: The man has voted FG the last 2 elections but this time he REALLY does not want Labour getting in so thats the FF vote assured. I've got 2 weeks to change his mind, the old fart...

    The only chance of Labour not getting in is if FG get an overall majority.
    If he votes for FF Labour will get in.

    Don't know about that, close a few department branches and offer people from the civil service in Cork a relocation to Donegal - or redundancy

    No Individual or Party name on the leaflet.
