    Well, we keep voting these people back in; time and time again.

    It must be the most farcical political system in the modern world. We have two school teachers that are head of the two most popular parties in the country - Enda Kenny a primary school teacher from Mayo, and Micheál Martin, a secondary school history teacher from Cork. Oh, I forgot, Sinn Féin are the second most popular party - whose leader is a former terrorist. You couldn't make this stuff up.

    Bertie Ahern was the most popular leader this country has ever known, whom would give my username a good run for its money. Michael Lowery, another crook, where the more corrupt he gets, the more popular he becomes. The guy is topping the polls in North Tipp all the time. Incredible.

    Then we have the likes of Sean Sherlock who took Daddy Joe's seat (just like Enda took Henry Kenny's seat), and by giving him an irrelevant ministerial post he thought he could change the face of the internet by introducing a legislation giving copyright holders the right to seek an injunction against copyright violators. You couldn't even post a youtube clip on boards.ie, it was so ill thought out. Head back to private school Joe! Who gives these clowns votes?

    At least David Cameron has a first class honours degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford. Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, is an economist and a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics. Angela Merkel has a doctorate for her thesis on quantum chemistry. Mark Rutte, the Dutch Prime Minister, was a former boss at Unileaver, and played a leading role in several reorganisations of the company. We have a secondary school teacher from Mayo. The guy will get annihilated in debt negotiation talks. They will run rings around him. Give him a few 'people of the year' awards and he'll be fine. Stick his picture on Time magazine and he'll be well chuffed.

    WTF is wrong with this counrty?

    Try coming up with something that hasn't been done more than a cheap hooker.
