The media asking candidates would they live beside Travellers was the pits of this campaign. They wouldn't dare ask same question about any other ethnic minority. Disgrace.

I was in a doctor's surgery yesterday and that's who the majority of the auld folk was going to vote for. But when I saw the doctor, you know the person with multiple degrees and the person you would have to suspect would have a higher intellect; well; when I mentioned whom I was voting for and why; he, with all his political correctness, agreed that the current Irish welfare system is not sustainable. He said that his practice just could not handle it for much longer. The good news is that the door doesn't have to hit my ass on the way out of here; I'm lucky and I can leave Ireland. But for the majority of workers/contributors in this country, that option is not available to them. They have to sustain the Margaret Cash's of this country. They are getting up early in order to go to work and bypassing time with their own children in order for the likes of Margaret Cash (in the tens of thousands) can live in a house that she deems suitable as close to her own family as possible. The system sucks. And Leo Varadkar and his party sustains it. I will do everything; even if it is to vote the welfare party (Sinn Fein), to get his hypocritical party out of power. Hell; I'll even vote Fianna Fail, with all their brown-envelope-stained trousers. Jebus H Fluckin' Christ, we really do need an alternative in this country. The 'Peter Casey' thing is just the canary in the coalmine. One of these days, the majority will find the time; besides working and supporting their familes, to say; fluck this; Margaret Cash and her cohorts do not deserve > €54,000 to survive on this planet. Fluck you Leo, you lying bastard, and Micheál , and all the horses you rode into town. We (the workers) will eventually prevail.

I believe their disdain for the tax payer is due to our vocal opposition to any license fee increase to pay for their exorbitant salary increases. Watch the faces of RTE commentators/reporters on television when they mention "the so-called squeezed middle class" (as RTE like to describe us). They can hardly contain their scorn for us. They do a good job not calling us the "proletariat" instead. If a new party is formed as a result of voter dissatisfaction with the current left/ultra-liberal contingent of politicians, then a mandate for that party should be either the complete removal of the television license or a drastic reduction. Let see if the RTE liberal aristocracy survive. They might even have to get real jobs like the rest of us.

Harry Palmr wrote: » What the feck are you on (about)? The people who voted Casey did so for various reasons (not MDH, a protest vote, for a laugh/shake it up, anti-traveller sentiment and that just the obvious reasons). They are not a cohesive hive mind block who can be lead by the nose, which is also why Casey himself has little future in politics.
