It's only through weak leadership, that you can see how strong the opposition is. And in this case, they've all failed, miserably. God help us!

I'd just like to state I didnt vote for FG, nor do I support them in any way.

At least I'll be able to say I didnt give them my vote when they have Ireland in ruins in the next few years.

And because you vote a different way it won't effect you? See, our system doesn't really work like that.

FF were basically drunk at the wheel and crashed. Now they are trying to convince us that they'll drive us home safely but they have already proved that they can't.

FG are taking the wheel, but they still have a crashed car to drive home. It's unsure yet if they will get us home, but they look the best option.

(Sinn Fein say that there's some loose change in the glove box and that will fix everything.)

An appropriate summation

The greens are telling us all to get out and walk too

An excellent reason to sign up to boards.ie if I do say so myself :rolleyes:

It was FF who put us in this god awful financial position in the first place. Whatever cuts are ahead are a direct result of FF decisions. Now toddle off and vote there Mr martin.

FG are as drunk as the others, they just drank in a different bar. In my opinion the opposition are far worse than FF (who I don't think much of anyway), they've all had at least four years to be shouting down Cowen and his lies, & exposing the farce that is Irish politics. One can only come to the conclusion that none of them want to mess up the potential benefits that await them, should they win the election.

We didn't elect the opposition into government. My point is they should be a lot stronger in the face of our farcical leadership. But I agree with you, a new gang of barristers today.

Don't forget fine gael voted in favor of the bank guarantee that night

Yes. I did think that Fianna Fail and Brian Cowen were bad.

Are things going to get much better? Probably not for a while. But I fail to see how they're going to get much worse.

Fianna Fail got us into this mess. There's no point acting like they are somehow now going to make everything better. Michael Martin may be a better public speaker than Cowan, but it's still Fianna Fail. And Fianna Fail ****ed us royally.

They had their chance, and time and time again they failed to have any foresight whatsoever, only acting when called upon to act, and even then making a half-added job of it. What makes you think they will change?

Sometimes, better the devil you know than the devil you don't. In this case however, **** the devil, and **** Fianna Fail

alfa beta

here's what I think

Enda won't last the term as leader of FG

and

FF will be back in government (in some shape or form) after the next election.

(btw I'm not an FF person - I just think this is how things will pan out - betcha we'll see a gradual and sustained increase in FF support in polls over the next 12 months, what with their new "we should have stood out from the consensus" leader and everything!)

Voting FF/FG = turkeys voting for Christmas. If you want you're next government to piss way €100bn+ then by all means vote crony.


If you do not. Then vote for someone else. One of the independents perhaps.

biko

This is like standing outside the polling station shouting "Don't vote for FG" on polling day.
There have been plenty discussion already, now let the people vote.
