I often wonder would it be a good thing if they got into government in a coalition in order to destroy them. If they were in government on their own, they would bring the country down with them, but as a minor coalition party they probably couldn’t do too much damage.

They usually take about 15% of the poll at elections easily. Ni Riada got nowhere near 15%. Couples going out to work and paying tax at 50% as well as mortgages and childcare are sick of seeing free loaders pay nothing in return for an easy ride. The perception is that SF and Labour support this model. They’ll be lucky to keep their existing seats.

It’s a vote winner when a country is on its arse with 15% unemployment but not now. The likes Cash would vote for this all life long.

Bridget Mushy Viper wrote: » I think "working class" should only be used to describe people who work. That's why the term was coined. It referred to people who slogged damn hard doing extremely tough manual labour for a very meagre wage. In my opinion the word "working" should not be part of any description of freeloaders. Even lower working class implies some degree of work. Underclass - I don't know about that term either as it's unfair on people who genuinely need social supports. I think just go with freeloaders, sponges, scroungers or leeches.

The only thing they're concerned about is the fact that the rest of us are seeing it laid bare for what it is. People like Cash, Tubridy, Varadkar (folks please don't vote for Mr Casey), Martin Collins, Miriam O Callaghan etc have played no small part in waking people up to this scam.
