If the Social Democrats were in Sinn Fein's place

No , the Soc Dems are the WOKE ultras of Irish politics.

Spend more time being concerned with issues like gender identity than bread and butter staple issue's

A party for students and professional activists but not for the real world

Plus Roisin Shorthall is the biggest waffler to ever sit in the dail

I would suggest before you start a thread like this you should at least attempt to do some kind of research. Accusing people of blindly voting for political parties is rubbish. One read of all of the political parties manifesto from the last election tells a lot?

Also a statement like "I am just trying to show them up for what they are"?? Who are you trying to show up and why?

Yes but only if the government were to the right of FG or FF

You are not really, others have pointed this out. You clearly don't understand politics or the people of Ireland so I will leave you to it.

Tax payer put before private often foreign business interests. No more leasing for 25 years with no option to buy and passing it off as a good deal. No more treating 'emergency accommodation' as a normal part of the housing system. Better value for the tax payer with more social housing builds instead of buying and leasing. People before profit, (good name for a party that).

We might actual see a result from Moriarty (after it's dusted off) and the siteserv investigation.

TBF, it likely wouldn't last because they'd likely hold each other to account. But that's a positive.

Ahh it is good to see the party political broadcast.

Sf would achieve none of the above, we all know it and even the most blind SF supports knows it as well.

I listed a lot more than that. At least be honest.

I know tribunals and investigations are just something FF/FG start to kick problems down the road but we spend a **** ton of money investigating these things. No follow through has us with people like Coveney and Varadkar ffs.

There is no comparison. A 25 year lease with no option to buy, is a horrible deal for the tax payer. We should not be engaging in it.

I do believe we should be providing housing tax payers can afford. I get the sense you are more concerned with people getting a better deal than you did rather than what's good for our collective tax payers. I'm not happy as a tax payer to continue to pay through the nose to private concerns because people like yourself want everyone to get ripped off like you might have.

Every time a person gets priced out of the market the tax payer is on the hook to pick up the slack. Every time the tax payer pays for 25 year leases they are robbed and the market gets worse. It's a circular FF/FG/Green maintained crisis. Have I answered your question?

I believe this practice would end if FF/FG were out.
