But again, there’s no hope of changing anything at the general election poles as at the moment there is no alternative.

No alternative? So no Renua, no PDs?

There were plenty of alternatives. It's just that Irish voters decided that they didn't really want alt right.

We all know travellers who have a very lavish lifestyle, fabulous houses, top of the range cars/vans and have never worked or paid taxes. Where did this money come from? It it were you or i the revenue would be asking questions would they not?

Presumably, you've reported these travellers to Revenue, given your in-depth knowledge of their income and taxation status?

Hell of a lot more than anything you've done in your life I'd wager?

The knocking isn't about the role - it is about his spoofing about the extent of his role.

Are you a spokesperson for John Hume? Or a mind reader?

Casey must be doing much better than RTE etc wanted so we're getting a black-out.

Perhaps the only viable poll currently, which not subject to hacking (it's dictated by the market expectation) is this one:

Blue is for a 'shortening' of price, the 2nd fav is now 1/5th price of what it was just days ago.
Obvs they'd rather not take any backing for the wee man, as he is still likely to do well so has no value offered.

So basically Higgins is unbeatable, in the opinion of the people whose livelihood depends on getting it right

Polls from the Iconic media group of 13 newspapers across the country (10,500 votes) show a victory for Casey. Interesting.

This whole thread is a microcosm of the rise of current populist trends across the world.

Wtf has happened to this site? Used to be that level headed people spoke here, now it’s an echo chamber of rants & crap.

Also, even though the position’s aren’t paralleled, how can you excuse a ‘protest vote’ for Peter ‘Trump-lite’ Casey when you see what such ‘protest votes’ achieved in the US?

Maybe protest voting is a convenient excuse for actually wanting to vote for a narcissistic crapbucket.

Or, perhaps the status quo is not all its made out to be and people want change. Maybe the people who get up early in the morning aren't being listened to.

But he's not Trump Lite or Light not even close - that's not why he may pick up votes. It's a vote against populist trends - against faux outrage - political correctness and a lot of the arse gravy that gets liked on facebook, begins an empty hashtag trend and retweets itself into public conscience when half the public don't even know what it's about.

I think here and in this instance, a protest vote is a 'too lazy to do anything else about it' vote. To indulge some plain speaking so revered in one of our candidates, so to speak.

Dress it up and demean it how you like. The surge in Casey's popularity is down to the frustration the middle classes feel in working hard to fund those who choose not to work. People are sick of spending thousand each year they can ill afford to allow others a bone idle lifestyle.

The average industrial wage is about 36k. If you earn twice the average industrial wage, you still won't take home as much as Margaret Cash. That is astonishing, and really bugs the majority of honest, hardworking people.

Call it whatever you want, but the frustration is genuine and justified.

To be honest, posts like yours is what can drive people into that direction, and I've said this days ago. And my stance on Casey is not in the fab camp.

Not exactly, nothing is a certaintly. They just won't tolerate any window of 'signifcant risk exposure' that's all, hence the 1.02.

Higgs' actual price may well be in the region of 1.25 - 1.33. But if that price was made available, there would be a risk that some country bumpkin would spend the day driving around unloading bags on it.

That would be weighted backing, as opposed to much higher 'frequencies' of much smaller stakes, but still at an overall smaller total weight.

The other poster may well collect after Friday, if they had one of the W/O (without), or specific markets. But again nothing is a certainty.

Above all, the sudden (indicative) popularity, within days, based on a single soundbite, is an interesting socio-politcal phonenomon to note.

Maybe it relflects the fustration and struggle upon the common person. This trend and expression may well continue, and likely increase in the coming years.

That happens right across the welfare state, in settled communities as well.

What Casey did was target a minority community and only days later started on about the welfare state.

His action was despicable and hopefully Ireland will tell him that at the poll. 'Frustration', should not be exploited in that way.

Ah the auld "populist" charge, on a stance/issue " i dont agree with so it must be wrong, but a token sop, pandering to those less sophisticated than myself."

"Rants and crap" indeed. There you are, oblivious to the possibility you might be wrong, unable to countenance others might prefer the world slightly different to the utopia you espouse, dismissive of their opinions.

Jog on.

Don't think so, he is going to poll really well. A lot more than the miserly 2%.

Not in Ireland so don't even know any of these candidates. But I know for a fact that I'd be voting for Casey based on this post alone, because he is obviously saying something that's needed, but it isn't socially acceptable to the morally superior.

He will poll ok. But as long as he doesn't win, we can forget about him.
I think it would be a real set back for all we have achieved in this country if we elect this man tbh. A nasty exploitationist of the highest order. The more he opens his mouth the more he proves it.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 25-10-2018 01:02AM

Thought Casey worked magic tonight, easy to see how he is far more suited to leading our people over the other beige candidates.

to give you a feeling for whats going on on the ground
think of every tradesman, farmer, house-owner who has been burgled over the last 20 years
they and their family and friends will vote for casey

poetry just doesn't cut it anymore

I agree, Casey won't win but man he has brought this issue to the fore and for that reason he deserve to poll well. Of all the crimes that sicken me it's the one of tying old pensioners to there chairs in the dark of the night and beat them to with an inch of there life just for cash and possessions that makes me so angry. I really would set minimum terms of 20 years prison for such offences. 20 years to the day.

I'd say 20 years and a day. Does that make me more hardcore than you? am I winning?

You do realise that we have prison sentences for this already? And the president has absolutely nothing to do with those?
