FF bounce back - WTF???

JupiterKid

According to the latest MRBI/Irish Times poll that will be published in tomorrow's Irish Times, Fianna Fail have recovered support to the extent that they are now the second political party in terms of support.:eek:

WTF is wrong with people? Do they really have that short a memory? It's truly depressing.:mad::(

They are no worse then the incumbent crowd. Maybe they are not quite as corrupt (or better at hiding it) but there is feckall difference between their policies

It's not surprising really, if Fine Gael were in power during the boom nothing would be different. They were equally oblivious economically,

Probably linked to their recent anti property tax rants.

Ironic given it was those clusterfûcks that created the mess we're in at the min.

If he is Irish, it supports his case.

Just look at last Sunday in Cavan - that's another why.

Memories of goldfish and balls of a gnat, that's a good swathe of the Irish people in a nutshell.

The depth of support for Fianna Fail runs deeper than the support for any other political party in the country. It goes back generations and runs through families like blood. It's worse than a religion or cult.

And before anyone says it's just a culchie thing, let's not forget Bertie Ahern.

I put it down to inbreeding...

They're all the same tbh, doesnt really matter what party holds the seat of power.

I was just thinking about this lately. I can't find the thread now but last year before the elections Permabear(spelling) over in politics wrote a thread as to why we should vote FF. We all jumped on like WTF but looking back and remembering that thread, I think he was slightly right.

His thread was about FF's policy to reduce minimum wage. Many people will disagree and this is coming from a very low paid worker but I think a drop in minimum is needed for this country. To help employers with his/her business, to get more people back at work and to start reducing the cost of living.

I am never going to forget what FF did. They are a shower of maggots that deserve to be set alight.

But what we did in Feb 2011 we voted in our droves in anger to give FF the boot for the damage that they did and rightly so but we ignored policies and one on the minimum wage that's very important that will help things. They did wrong and very, very wrong but they were going to try and right things.

FG lied so much to get into power and they banging the nails into an already dead state. If we left FF in maybe, just maybe they might have felt guilty of their wrong-doings in government and started sorting out the top in.this country. No body knows.

I think that this opinion poll result shows that democracy has failed Ireland.

Yawns

Down with this sort of thing.

I'm not surprised that Fianna Fail came up with such a woefully thought out policy based on their history of woefully thought out policies. Their miserable understanding of even the most basic concepts of economics and labour markets is astounding in the extreme.

Yawns

Of course OP if you had included this bit

The survey was undertaken on Monday and Tuesday of this week among a representative sample of 1,000 voters aged 18 and over, in face-to-face interviews at 100 sampling points in all constituencies.

It's not so bad. Hmm I wonder what areas they mainly canvassed in for that survey.

Anyone else imagine Fianna Fail releasing a biography called "Bouncing Back" which was deemed lovely stuff by Shakin' Stevens?

It was FG not FF, Labour in a coalition would scare Libertarians like that!

Haven't really followed the polls in detail but drops in FG support will mostly go to FF, happened in reverse in the General Election, drops in Labour support will mostly go to SF, hence SF doing so well in polls and FF getting a small lift now.

What is obvious is it's the end of the 2 and a 1/2 party system, we've a 1 and 3/3'ds system , SF should be the second party in the next dail but a lot will depend on how much FG lose in constituencies FF will pick up seats, not SF.
