We need a Polish or Nigerian President

jimpump

we are hearing about dana, marty mc g,s.gallagher, m.d. higgins etcs...basically all crap candidates

i think a foreign national would know how to sort this country out, and wouldnt be involved in the crime and corruption that goes on in the dail at the moment!!

AlmightyCushion

You do realise the president doesn't have a lot of powers and therefore can't really do a lot to sort out the country.

Coriolanus

On second thoughts... nothing to see here.

challengemaster

You do know the president does nothing anyway

Now, let me transfer €20 million to your account if you send me your details

Didnt really work for Nigeria or Poland so what on earth makes ya think it would work here?

dark crystal

I agree.

I am humbled by the stories that come to me via e-mail every day, from poor Nigerians looking for a better life.

I hope my bank details have helped them in some way and I look forward to the day we have one of them as head of our state.

The thing about foreigners is that they're all thieves. Not that it's their fault, they were born foreign

We would first need an irish president to over see a change in the consitution. Maybe in 7 years time we might see one of them on the ballot.

Bin Laden Dies In Car Crash
THIS STORY IS STILL DEVELOPING...

Bin Laden died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics responding to the vehicle accident and was identified by photo ID found on his body. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in this accident .
Highway Safety Investigators have told reporters that Bin Laden lost control while driving a friend's vehicle on Interstate 80 and rolled the vehicle several times killing him instantly.

The vehicle was believed to have been traveling at approximately 95 miles per hour in a 55mph zone at the time of the accident.

Witnesses have stated that Bin Laden's car crossed the double lines several times prior to the accident and hit the center lane divider causing the vehicle to flip and roll.

Toxicology tests will be performed to determine whether he was driving under the influence, however initial findings indicate that durgs or alcohol did not contribute in any way to this accident as it was more likely to been caused by road conditions.

Memorial services for Bin Laden have not yet been announced. The service is expected to be a closed casket funeral due to the severe head trauma.

Additional details and information will be forthcoming as they become available.

For the love of God NO. That's the last thing we need. I don't think more immigration should be encouraged

If he/she was good enough for the job I'd have no problem voting for a Black or a Pole.

I agree. There was no racism in Ireland until all them bloody foreigners came here.

Kadongy

de Valera was American. Therefore he was very nationalist. This would be beneficial in negotiating our position. What are useful stereotypical Polish traits that might help?

They seem pretty nationalist too. Weren't they were the first country in the Eastern Bloc to overthrow the Communists? - and they were trying to do so before Gorbachev promised not to invade countries for trying to do that. Plus they are experienced at being shafted by allies - hence the Communism thing... I mean even Germany only had half their country given to the Soviets...Poland had the highest rate of deaths too in that war.

I think we should run the election like Big Brother, everyone starts off in the aras with the public eliminating one each week based on whatever scandals are in the papers at the time. The last one standing is then doused in petrol, set alight, and the presidency abolished forever.

I'm not being racist or anything but if you think the Irish government are corrupt then do your research on the track record of Nigerian governments and leaders and then I guarantee you that you'd change your mind very swiftly.

toxicity234

i'm going out with a polish girl.
they are having the same problem as we are having.(they hated all there candidates as well and for a lot of better reason that us)
the idea of this thread is just to pick on the Polish or nigerian people in this country without appearing Racism.....
aw maybe i being too hard on jimpump. i do know what me means about the candidates.. but we should work on how to improve our candidates not make
threads about national outside ireland.
otherwise he should explain how to give them the wright to run for President.
Cause my Girlfriend could do with a new job were she doesn't get abused everyday for being Polish.
but asshole who feel big for picking on 5"2 girl are small people who need to grow up ....

Sorry if this is over the top, but i just watch my G.F. get abused for no reason from a group of asshole because she polish.
but little people little minds....

When I read the OP I originally thought it was just a subtle attempt at getting a nigerian/polish bashing thread going. Along the lines of "sure how would they clean things up all polish/nigerians are criminals" type of thing.

castletownman

The Nigerian president is called Goodluck Jonathan (well he was a coupla years ago)

Seeing the state of Ireland at the moment, ours should be renamed Goodluck <insert election winner's first name here>*

*Although the Irish president has little effect in the daily running of the country

Chuck Stone

As long as no half-Polish or half-black people are running for pres then I'm okay with it.

They must be 100% pure.

My friends girlfriend is Polish too and she was getting treated badly by her boss so myself and her boyfriend went to collect her one day and when the boss saw us outside we gave him a wave and a grin and when he saw her get into our car his faced dropped, He never gave her a hard time again. A little ugly coward of a man, I'm sure if me or her boyfriend had opened our mouths to him he would have ran crying to the Gardaí with his legs between his tail.
