Some leap of faith to be voting FG while defending SF. It could come around again for you in a future coalition deal. I hope its not Leo, Simon and Simon!

I think more and more of the Irish electorate feel the same way.

Numbers were on their way down already - January had seen a temporary seasonal increase against trend that was always going to feed into a drop later in the year. December 2019 was the first sign of the numbers going down and the policies working. You are being taken in by the poverty industry.

But there's a difference between lying and changing, and at times having to, your position and even policies, be it compromise to form a govt or economic circumstance. But they all lie and exaggerate their capabilities and their achievements.

To say you will never do something and then go and do it, as everyone knew you would, is to tell a lie...all day and all night long. 'Kindly stop....' is telling somebody to do something. You conduct your life as you see fit. If I want to point out foolishness I will, because if people don't, then the appalling vista of people calling lies something else and excusing will persist.

It is pretty sad to see people whose lives are so miserable that they have to spend their life criticising FG 24/7, or defending SF 24/7, or repeating the same memes and photos 24/7. 75% approval rating which means even some SF supporters think he’s doing a good job, which just shows you how sad they are.

For instance, being aware of when they are being 'lied' to. Something you have difficulty with as we seen earlier in the thread. I know when I am being lied to because I engage my brain...for instance 'manifesto's'. I don't read them nor do I attach a single moments importance to them (from any party) because they have been devalued to the status of real estate brochures. If you don't like those opinions, scroll on do not try to censor them with the 'desist' comments.

Nobody is telling anybody to do anything
You can carry on disrespecting voters to your hearts content ,that just shows you up Refering to me and saying I pointing that out is censorship is simply false because you can give an opinion without being disrespectful Censorship would be removing the opinion or suggesting its removal

You failed to convince on this several times and not just me. It's excusing a lie.[
Nobody is telling you not to read posts, you have been asked to stop trying to censor them, or silencing them.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Minor parties end up taking the fall. They are manipulated by the more powerful who have no interest in doing coalition properly. A coalition should be executing a programme for government that gives way to the interests of all involved. They invariably don't here, we get flowery 'wishlists' that get forgotten about once the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and the leader gets back from the Aras. That leads to a situation where the smaller party has to fight a rearguard action and ends up losing it's own support. How many times does it need to happen?
