FG to just do nothing for the next 5 years.

You said it looks like FG are bad for investors and provided a link which apportioned no such blame. The article does look at years where they have been in government a minority of the time, and also looked at the banking crash, when they were in opposition.

1.The study was worldwide and other countries had the banking crisis also.
2. The report is returns from 1975 to 2018. How many times was FG in power throughout that period?

Funny to see the SF acolytes still obsessing about what Fine Gael are doing. You would think that they would be a little worried at the continuing failure of Mary-Lou to form a government.

When you dont know your arse from your elbow I suppose it’s easier to return to the default position of blame. I’ve said it multiple times- sf have zero interest in governing. The last they’d want is a larger majority- they’d like some extra seats to be stronger in their usual cushy opposition mode but other than that they just want FF FG in together. The SF front bench is so breathtakingly lacking in ability they’re literally terrified of it. If MLM was serious about being Taoiseach she’d be doing serious government negotiations with the majority of lefties now in the Dáil. But alas no, easier park her arse in front of a megaphone whipping up the usual suspects around the SF circuit

Are you attempting to censor criticism of the acting government?

They seem to want FG back in government.

Its bizarre, egging them to form a government as the 3rd most popular party.

Utterly bizzare.

Suckit

Also from the article

The past decade has been especially tough, as investors fled because of low oil prices and pressure from investors such as the Irish government to dump fossil fuel stocks.

I ain't subsiding the spin units operating costs

So you can't because you don't pay for it and you only read the headline and jumped to conclusions like you were called out on.

Who puts up links as evidence if they can't actually substantiate the link?????

Pathetic.

Any comment on the EU commission saying the FG homeless numbers are off?

Looks like FG are bad for investors. Ireland named the worst value for investors in the world

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ireland-named-world-s-worst-market-for-value-investing-in-credit-suisse-report-j7cttpmn6

From the article:

“Ireland has been very poor for value investors because the Irish banks were deemed value stocks and they suffered terribly in the global financial crisis,” said Paul Marsh of London Business School, who compiled the study with his colleague Mike Staunton and with Elroy Dimson of Cambridge University.

There's less to this to article than meets the eye.

Anyone with any kind of serious interest in value investing would know to stay away from bank stocks, as you won't be able to form an accurate picture of their balance sheet. This is one of the first pieces of advice in Benjamin Graham's textbook on the subject.

Did you actually read the article, or was the picture and the big words enough for you?

Talk about an own-goal

Supporting a minority government might help rescue FG from the oblivion they seem to be heading towards?

Plenty to negotiate if FG throw their hat at a coalition/merger with their swap partner,

Oblivion

Why are they negotiating when apparently everyone knows they don't and can't get the numbers?

Seems Mary Lou is lying.

I know you like that wee drum to beat - 'no intention of going into power' - but they are doing everything they can to increase their vote of there is another election and they are still negotiating with others. The Greens, ( who fallen in the polls too) for instance haven't walked away.
I noticed new signage up here today from SF.

Maybe they know we are on our way back to the people for another vote?

Hopefully. When they get their overall majority they can go into power and solve everything. Up the ra!

If thats all it takes to bother them, they'll have a rude awakening if they go into power. Then again, we know they have no intention of going into power.

Can't speak for the party, but I'd imagine what bothers them is the continued campaigns against them that have nothing to do with policy.
But I'd say they are secretly smiling now...the GC can't seem to scare away the vote. +10% since the election?
Time for the strategy teams to walk the plank in FF and FG.
