    Because the media has told people in one of the most wealthy and stable nations in the world that they are living in a thrid world hellhole.

    The average Irish citizen (working or unemployed) has a far higher standard of living than the vast majority of people on this planet.

    That's down to the hard work of the average citizen.not government.

    First part hyperbole.
    Second part true.

    The average citizen didn't mind putting Bertie into power three times.

    The poll showed their vote share to be down.
    Turned out the poll was wrong.

    Because Paddy loves loads of empty promises and a few shillings thrown at him in an election budget. Bertie was king of both.

    These are the same people who think Apple owe us €12B.

    Clueless.

    Why won't SF go into government? MM stated today that he would not rule it out. Maybe they will get something done and not blame someone else if things go belly up. When building expenses triple and wages double, they can no longer point at someone else and say they wouldn't have made the mistake. SF have been on about change, now they have a chance to do it

    I've never seen such lukewarm response to potential and power and implementing "change" as here. It's almost as if they don't believe the manifesto their mandate is based on.

    You literally have no idea what a 3rd world health system looks like if you think that's what we have. Populist twaddle.

    Honestly not a fan but I thought he came across well in terms of being realistic about green policy and what might be possible rather than using the opportunity as a big lecture to us all.

    Small hole in your theory being that the media are so anti SF it’s laughable. FG and FF are just incredibly unlikeable. They come across as arrogant, smug, elitist and aloof which is why they’re getting the woodshed from the electorate.

    Thoughts are with the family of Jerry McCabe tonight, and all victims of IRA. Shame on anyone who voted for Sinn Fein, you vote for scum, don’t complain when you get poor government.
