the economics of it all

roosh

At present I'm torn between Labour and Fine Gael. In my own, uneducated opinion, I actually don't think Fianna Fáils policies are that bad, and if I didn't think they needed to be taught a lesson, or didn't feel that they are completely untrustworthy, then I would consider voting for them.

But like I say, I'm torn between FG and Labour at the moment. I'm just wondering if anyone has come across the views of any independent economists who have vetted the economic policies of each party and have made any recommendation, or who may even suggest one parties approach would be better than the other.

In my, again, uneducated opinion, it seems like each party has some good ideas, and the ideal scenariou would be where they would - god forbid - sit down as adults and discuss what is in the best interests of the country and take a number of cross party ideas. Obviously that won't happen, and even a coalition programme for government will probably not see the "best" of each parties policies be included.

An unrealistic hope of mine, is that I would love to see, instead of the meaningless leaders debates, a "Dragons Den" style interview of the relevant party members to defend their policies against experts in the respective fields. Or even a simple discussion between economic experts with the party leaders or finance spokespeople, to have the policies critiqued.


But back to the question, has anyone come across the opinion of any independent economists and their recommendations.
