Wouldn't Pearse Doherty make a great Taoiseach

You can say FG's health policy is a bluff because it patently and demonstratively hasn't worked.
Can you say that SF's hasn't worked? No, because it hasn't been implemented.

You can have an opinion though.

SF's health policy is to spend an additional €3.3bn on healthcare; if FG spent an additional €3.3bn on healthcare, they wouldn't (in theory) have the issues you describe.

Only problem with SF's plan is where do they get an additional €3.3bn? They don't seem too sure themselves - other than "the rich"!

That, as they say, is your prerogative.
You go right ahead and find a party that wasn't party to driving our economy into the toilet.

So you're admitting the SF policy that is "so much better you guys" than FG's policy is a magic €3.3bn?

No, I am saying you cannot say somebody is 'bluffing' without calling that bluff at some point.
You can argue back and forth about aspects all you want.
You can say somebody has been 'bluffing' if they have implemented it and it fails.

Were I forced to select a SF taoiseach then I would probably choose Pearse. At the same time I would enrole in German lessons.

Actually you should learn Greek seeing as Pearse told us we should be following the example of Syriza.

'in theory' being the important word there.

There is only one of the two who have been actually caught 'bluffing'.
We would have to wait for SF to run their policies to say definitively that they are 'bluffing'.

Sure lets give them a go. What's the worst that could happen?

Forgot about that! I'd say that obviously awful advice was a "bluff".

Syriza had a good plan to be fair. Having huge lumps of sovereign debt written off was never going to fly with the EU though. More like a wish list than economic policy.

Greece needs a nationalist party, not some Socialist yahoo party. Bring the glory back to Greece, give the people something to believe in, the greatness of Greece.

It would work!. Can't believe socialists control Greece. I say control loosely, we all know the EU have them bent over the table.

Yeah. It was so unfair of the EU to give them money with strings attached! :rolleyes:

I'm going to close this as it's just a collection of one-liners. OP, please read the charter before starting any more threads here.
