    I'd be hard pressed to listen you your opinion on it considering your love in for Casey. Folks your listening to would be in the absolute minority. Probably all mad for casey too

    Its not an absolute love for casey, its a dislike of the people casey called out. Ive always said id like a propper candidate with experience to say the same things.

    Would be from a balance of people, is it a majority - no, is it a tiny portion of people - no, but this idea that everyone just likes catherine murphy or considers her a good poilitican is nothing resembling the truth, a lot of people do, but shes not free from criticism or dislike.

    Has it ever happened that politicians who lose their seats in a local election top the polls in such numbers ?

    Nope, nothing adds up here bar a severe protest vote. SF were in the best position to take advantage having sufficient party presence whilst not having pished of the electorate before like the greens. They suddenly became the answer to all ills. No questions asked.

    Hard to believe FG couldn't fix the housing problem. I can understand the health system that's always been a mess but housing. How hard can it be really?
    Has to be one of the easiest policies to loose an election over.

    No. They will be even more galvanized against ffg. I hope at run more candidates and we have second election. Where people would be angry going out like last election to vote between those two clowns with no difference, that isn’t the case , when serious change, unbelievably, is one more vote away.

    Exactly. Best thing SF can do is stay away. Let FFG at it again.

    I think it's too close and sad as I am to say it I think another election would be better for stability, I don't mean FFG stability but if there's a coilition for parties to rethink their strategy.

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    People want change. And if we dont get it this time and are forced to vote again, like lisbon or nice, i think most will stick to their guns this time around.

    Maybe if we have to go again because of a hung dail. If SF go in to government I could see them dropping back down to labour levels. People want change but not sure what change they want.

    The poster asked for TDs not ministers

    The question was to name Td's who had been in government who were popular. Doherty or Murphy haven't been td's in a party that was in government

    With both FF and FG ruling out SF it's incumbent on them to go in together. That would be a brilliant result for SF.

    Agreed but my own feeling is the electorate are burnt out by independents, Ross( where to start with him) , Haely Rae's and focus on local politics.
    I can see a lot of SF transfers going to independents/Green though.

    Oh your most definitely right about that !
    But that's the bit that's easier to see in hindsight that the vote is done, rather than a few days ago.

    The likes of Lowry/Healy Rae's might have pissed off voters in other constituencies, but still doing excellent in their own.
    The likes of Ross on the other hand while previously popular, has been shown up after a spell in government.

    If anything it highlights the fact that FG suffered from not having a minority partner to sacrifice, in the way the PD's, Greens and Labour were under previous FF/FG governments.

    Or we’ll let Sinn Fein in to build the free houses and screw the working class even more than we are already !
    I hope ff/ fg let them at it , they’d want to make a better job than they did in the north

    It's a problem all over the Western World with housing becoming unaffordable for the average worker. Hard to solve when we are so Dublincentric and all the jobs are concentrated in a small geographic area

    Mary Lou must feel like me when I've stuck a tenner on a horse which comes in a 16/1 and I suddenly realise I should've stuck €20 on it.

    You don't have to defend him every time someone brings him up, do you?

    Let him go, no one is buying his nonsense, he is an absolute delusional cretin who thought he could be the Big Bad Orange Man of Ireland.

    He is a sweaty incoherent mess who has been told several times now to Fúck Off!

    The ones which didn't run in the first place by the looks of things. Everyone else are crossing the line.
