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.

Just keep taking your medicine for now bud and try to go see a doctor tomorrow...;)

Coalitions don't work. Nothing gets done and nothing sticks when they cock up.

Because Fine Gael and Labour are incumbent, that's why.

I'll be nailing it shut from the outside so none of those FF parasites can get out :rolleyes:

Finally, maybe things can start getting back to normal now. The balance is about to be restored.

That's so funny

Hmmm that's funny, no-one asked me about my preference??

It'll be another coalition, this seems to come as a surprise to many in a country that has had coalitions for over 30 years non stop.

I'd love a SF/ Labour coalition but it wont happen.

Fianna Faíl and Sinn Feín coalition is next.
They could change their name to Mé Feín.

Think Phil "Home Tax" Hogan as a reason.

You think Richard Bruton wouldn't have done a better job than Cowen. GTFO.

I feel like crying - WTF is wrong with us as a nation? FF is the reason we're in this mess! :mad:

I *cannot* wait to emigrate. Ours is a country full of fcuking morons!

If that ever happens we'l really learn what it is to be proper fcuked as a country.
Those Labour morons put together with SF (who largely represent scum) would set us back about 50 years in development.

If they ever get near the Taoiseachs office I'm gone that year.

Proof, if any was needed, that Ireland is full of idiots.

Ah, good ould Left vs. Right politics.

I'd love a SF/Labour coalition to show they aren't that much different from any other coalition, they'd do what all coalitions do, spin as much as they can to keep as many voters on board. It'll be a long time away thank God.

We'll elect a government of both sides, a big party with, hugely important, a smaller party to keep an eye on them, and moan about the compromises.

Funnily enough, I don't remember Bruton & co telling cowen to GTFO during the 'boom' years.

Fianna Fail destroyed the Ireland of my grandfather's generation back in the 1930s.

They destroyed the Ireland of my father's generation in the 1970s/80s.

They have just destroyed, in spectacular fashion, the Ireland of my generation.

Looks like the Irish people will allow them destroy the country for the next.


Fianna Fail are not a political party, they have no politics, they just exist to suck the blood of our country! Parasites!

Mr Trade In

Always wonder just who the Fcuk do the papers ask for these polls, is it randomers on Grafton Street Dublin or people at the Quinn Rally up in Cavan or people coming out of the pub at closing time, bizarre results either way.

**** Labour, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael rat bastards the lot of them.

1/3 of the people polled were undecided. So, to me that indicates that there's a HUGE swing possible in any direction.
It also indicates that people are totally turned off by the whole political system at the moment as nobody's offering a real alternative.

You can have Taoiseach Merkel, Taoiseach Merkel or Taoiseach Merkel.

It is utterly depressing that people would seriously consider voting for FF though. Do they have the memory of a gold fish or just suffer a recent head injury or something?

anncoates

Why are people even surprised?

That is factually incorrect BS, passed down through generations of your obviously FG family politics.

The civil war is over a long time. Get over it.

Tony Soprano.

The Irish political system is rotten-to-the-core.

The Healy-Rae family and Michael Lowery are some of the most popular politicians in the country. Parish-pump, stroke-politics. Go figure.

We deserve everything we get. A very stupid people.

squod

We'll need a new Cowen or Bertie. That Cark fella looks like he just made his confirmation. FF need a proper b*stard at the helm.

Jaysus d'you know what, we should audition for b*stards to run for leader of FF. Just like X Factor. Vote off the best b*stards and leave the only Haughey-est fuhker to run the country.

Solair

People need to remember that Fianna Fail and the Greens signed us up to binding agreements to implement a property tax amongst other things.

Fianna Fail and the Greens also implement a lovely Blasphemy law that made us look like some kind of backwards-looking theocracy and got loads of very negative coverage abroad while stifling free speech at home.

And they're the people who brought you the HSE!

A lot of the current Government's policies are being dictated by terms of a horrendous 'bailout' agreement signed up by FF and the Greens.

If you agree with the "No Banker or Speculator Left Behind" policy, definitely vote FF. I mean, otherwise your buddies in the speculative sector might actually have to deal with the economic realities of failed investments.

Admittedly the current lot aren't exactly amazing, but I'd rather see an inanimate carbon rod running the country than FF !

Icyseanfitz

i say we give sin fein a shot (even if they are terrorists :pac:) how much fecking worse can they be than either FF or FG
