    Here’s a radical idea- instead of obsessing over FG, why don’t sf actually govern and deliver all the amazing promises they ...ahem, promised? Like I said radical, for SF.
    What’s obvious here and indeed from the north where they “govern” is that elections and electioneering are their sole focus and raison detre. They’ll keep going until the desired result (which for sf is opposition) rather than the heavy actual work of forming, maintaining and running a government.

    Here's the thing, FFG made their election campaign all about SF.

    SF in comparison made their campaign about the state of the housing/rental markets, and healthcare in the state.

    FFG received a thumping at the election, but somehow you think SF are obsessing over FG.

    This is history revisionism at its finest, and not ancient history either.

    I think if the shinners get into power they should seriously consider taxing lemon's there seems to be a surge in sucking them around here.

    If there is to be another election will Leo be told he cannot take part in the TV leaders debate? :confused:

    Good question Francie.

    Another one is, if there's another election, and more leaders debate will Leo or Michéal be leader's of their respective party's?

    Are they that spooked that they'd try that?

    Leo used up a life failing at the GE. I think the only honourable thing for Martin was to resign. His strategy completely bombed and if the latest poll is anything to go by, he is still hemorrhaging votes. Has he enough party support to go again?

    The latter almost certainly won't

    Three or four days after the election, one party has had three major incidents involving its elected reps.

    Apologies issued.... reaction from party leader...... zilch.

    Imagine if the same had happened to another party?

    Does that tell us anything.?

    Reported after the election, (again in some cases).
    Yes, the cronies of FF/FG have the wind up them.

    Well based on the latest opinion poll it tells us that 35% of the public willing to vote for SF in another possible GE don't care.

    Man shouts in pub.....

    woman goes on holiday.

    lads sing song that leo caused to go number 1 in the uk and ireland.

    Woman fell behind in rent.

    You're as out of touch as the rest of them.

    No one cares bar the odd pimply bluebot and he only cares because his father told him to.

    Listne, nobody gives a ****, if they did something to improve the housing situation, nobody cares! I get I am alright jacks dont want to understand that, but if they were paying E1800+ a month for a one bed apartment in dubin, the hypocrites would change their tune. This attacking SF, nobody is changing their minds at this stage, you hate them, you love them or like a huge amount of their voters now, you think they are far from perfect, but FFG again?! LOL! LOL!

    Hogan didn't pay the equivalent of a household charge in his villa in Portugal, while at the same time ramming his new charge down the throats of the electorate while threatening them with leins on property, credit judgements and court appearances if they didn't pay.

    Reilly appeared in stubbs gazette, I think that was unprecedented for a government minister up until then, then you had his care centre furore on top of that.

    Monaghan man1 - the FG TD who attacked a man in a bar with broken glass.
    Monaghan man2 - the FG councillor who openly asked for bribes on s hidden camera.

    2 commissioners gone, ditto justice minister, and the latest bumbling idiot wanted to commemorate the black and tans.

    Alan Farrell

    Maria Bailey.

    Dara Murphy.

    All from the law and order party Brenner.

    There's plenty more, but they're top of my head.

    We won’t go into the Quinn issue

    The Kingsmill dude, poor Barry.

    The numerous disappeared

    The Warrington event

    That’s just off the top of my head.

    You don't need to go into it, the indo/times/Newstalk/Eoghan Harris/Ruth Dudley Edwards/Leo/Michaél have been "going into" these things for years now for you, including up until the eve of the election.

    If you wanted my humble opinion, I'd hazard a guess at saying the electorate don't really give a rodents rectum about any of that stuff.

    You might even say the more they tried to dredge up the past in in a shyte flinging exercise, the higher up the polls the shinners went.

    Busted flush mate, played out, banging a drum no-one cares about anymore.

    Keep up. Stay relevant.

    Well strange they didnt skate home with a big majority if that’s the case.

    Strange that up to now they have done nothing in this jurisdiction.

    The auld dhrum maybe resonates more than you like to think, Randall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74,242 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady

    They've fairly put the cat among the FF/FG pigeons. Even you would have to admit that.

    I only read the first line but that is probably enough. How the fuuuuuuuuuuck could anyone skate home with a majority if they only togged out 42 candidates.

    Did someone say the shinners are bad with numbers?

    Already admitted that Francie, you need to read my posts more carefully.

    I don’t waste words, they all are there for a reason.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 801 ✭✭✭woohoo!!!


    I think they need to wheel out Donovan more to rant and rave, perhaps to repeat what he previously said in the Dail, claiming d ra were behind Dublin Monaghan bombings. Just needs from roaaaar to convince the floating voters. Another winning strategy that really needs more tweets is #notanormalparty

    I also think that for FF, Martin needs to look into his heart and commission a few more focus groups. They'll no doubt inform him that yet more flip flopping is needed and assure us all that policy differences are the real reason that SF cannot be considered at this time.

    I've every confidence that with such winning strategies, that 15% support in polls is within reach for one if not both parties, perhaps being surpassed by the greens.
    Anything to keep the shinners out, a cunning strategy to haemorrhage support so SF can never get enough numbers with 1, maybe even both of the stalwart parties.

    They've more or less forced FF/FG to merge Brendi, in all but name. FG can't fart without being sure FF has it's back, and vice versa. Gas craic.

    Whatever about numbers the Shinners are certainly bad with security. Half of all leading republicans were recruited as British intelligence agents. Sinn Fein were heavily infiltrated with British intelligence agents. Heck, even the IRA’s head of counterintelligence was a British agent.
    Sinn Fein aren’t the Manchurian Candidate, they are the Manchurian Party.

    I bet you just love all those Pinewood Studio's films were the British always had the upperhand on them foreigners?

    Hogan was in dispute with a private management company over services supplied.
    Not at all the equivalent of the household charge.
    Furthermore it was an apartment not a villa.

    I'm sure that statistic/arse plucked estimate will have the electorate who voted for the likes of Carthy/Doherty/OBrion etc, quaking in their little green boots.

    With all the other points being badly made, straight up and away on another tangent I see. :)

    Funnily enough i always routed for the Indians in westerns and the Germans in war films.

    Looks like the British certainly had the upper hand on Sinn Fein and the IRA.

    I am sure they have nothing to fear as long as they keep following their handlers instructions.

    The worst of it is many of the top republicans were compromised into becoming British intelligence agents because of their penchant for pedaphellia.

    Sure they did, that's why they let them bomb the heart of their financial district and force them to drop decommissioning and get on with signing a deal Unionists detest until this very day.

    Sure SS, sure. :)
