Consistently? Clearly you were not paying attention to earlier polls after the election which had 3 polls in a row, with FG on the mid to high 30's. Oh dear! The are polling well enough at the moment.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Irish_general_election Edit: Actually that makes FG 7 polls in a row higher than SF. I take it your use of the word 'Consistently' is misused here or maybe you cant tell when you lie anymore?
Not sure what poll you're reading there Johnny but if it is the Sunday Times Behaviour & Attitudes one that was released today and that we have all been discussing this afternoon they you are actually the one who is "not detailed orientated" Yes Fine Gael are up 8%, from page 6- Jan 2020 FG 14% July 2020 FG 22% But no, SF are not down 5% as per your claim above. They are actually up 12% in the time since the last poll in the same series was undertaken by the Sunday Times back in January. Thats them gone up 12% compared to Fine Gaels 8% over the same time period Jan 2020 SF 17%. July 2020 SF 29% (+12%) And then when undecided voters are excluded it looks like this FG Jan 2020 20% July 2020 28% (up 8%) SF Jan 2020 24% July 2020 36% (up 12%) So no matter whether you take the poll with all respondents or the poll with undecided voters excluded the result is still the same, Fine Gael have gone up 8% but during that time SF have risen 12%. In other words in the last six months Sinn Fein have outpolled Fine Gael by a whopping 50%. Alarm bells should be going off in FG HQ about this trend because FG can take votes off FF all they want but that it is of little use if SF are outpolling them regardless. The trend is your friend As to how you managed to spin all that into Sinn Fein being down 5% I'm not sure but I can only suggest that you are (in your own words) "not detail orientated". I mean c'mon now Johnny, I thought you Fine Gael lads were playing senior hurling here It feels to me that its more like an under 9s game that is strewn with schoolboy errors and sloppy hurling.

I brought it up because SF are consistently outpolling FG including in the actual elections
Why, if FG are doing such a stellar job is my question?
markodaly wrote: » Yet, these threads have gone off to Boards.ie heaven as they are no longer active, while a thread which had its roots about FG going into opposition months ago is still going strong... So, what is it, about FG that perks one's interest or should I say faux outrage much more than say, the Greens or FF?
Yes, I didn't. So why bring it up?
McMurphy wrote: » There are separate threads for both parties. Top of my head, there's a "Green party wishlist" and a thread about Eamon Ryan to name a few for the Greens, and "FF humiliated again", "An Taoiseach Michaél Martin", "Stephen Donnelly Minister for Health", "The Fianna Fail front bench" and many more.
You didn't mention it, no.

markodaly wrote: » That is a thread talking about government decisions and the like, no complaints from me about that there... Where is the long-running FF and Greens thread... to match this one? Why is there such an obsession about FG and not FF or the Greens by the usual detractors?
Did I not every say SF were not riding high in polls? Explain that one? Sizable as in 1% difference according to the last poll, well within the margin of error? Explain that one?

McMurphy wrote: » Seeing as the last page seemed to be all about people correcting others, I may carry on in the same vein. 1, there is a thread about all 3 parties in Govt, it's titled FF/G /Greens next government, and can be found here, in fact you've posted in it on more than 80 occasion's. Slipped your mind did it?
Secondly, the last polls we seen had SF riding even higher than FG, and even though certain FG party members tried to rewrite history, and polling stats, but got swiftly corrected here, so it would seem despite their stellar job and competence in previous govt roles, there's still a sizeable amount of people who appear to want the shinners over FG. Explain that one.

markodaly wrote: » What amazes me that we have a long running thread like this about FG and especially Leo, while the other two parties in government, The Greens or FF don't have their own separate long running threads. You guys do know that there are 3 parties in the government, right? From the last few weeks, FG have come out of it much better IMO. FF are wrecked from infighting and reminding us all on who they are. The Greens are already panicking and looking for a way out it seems.. ...yet the focus seems to be on FG who are riding high in the polls and are the party coming across as more competent than the other two.

If you can point out where I used a SF tale to deflect from FG please show me or respectfully withdraw the comment.
john4321 wrote: » Now onto the new point you raised you made a false statement and again I just corrected it using backed up facts. All you had to do was acknowledge the statement was incorrect but instead you proceed to post a statement about processing plants, foreign workers and non resident tax payers. This isn't genuine debate or discussion, It's in my opinion soapboxing as no proof to back it up is provided.

There was a thread on boards regarding the Christmas bonus. People were going nuts at even a fiver raise. Was a few years ago. The point is people will go nuts over that but stay silent on the meat processing using foreign workers who dont even pay tax in Ireland. I know FG have previous for not paying tax and they like giving contracts to a non-resident but non-resident meat packers is a new one.

I don't think the OP even replied but you jumped in to derail my post for some unknown reason where I just clarified the story and numbers. We got to a point in the thread where you acknowledged that point after a multiple posts. You said "Never said you did. Satguy mentioned the cartridges, you clarified the details." Now back on topic have you a reply to my last post about your false statement regarding the €5 bonus?
