FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

How self serving.

'When the time is right' ?

'When I (a supporter of the government) think the time is right' is what you mean

I.E. when YOU think it is right.

Sorry, we aren't subject to your approval.

Do I need to again remind some of the amount of times FG pushed MONC and at a time Ireland faced an unprecedented financial crisis 🤔

Debate 🤔 seriously , there's numerous definitions of what it means to debate , this one for example.

Debate' carries the idea of more intellectual discussion about disagreement when used this way, as opposed to 'argument', which implies a more emotion driven quarrel.

Unfortunately when reasoned argument is put forward , especially with facts supplied it's greeted with......

DEFLECTION

"To attack or blame another person rather than accepting criticism or blame for your own actions: When someone deflects, they are trying to feel less guilty, avoid negative consequences, and put the blame on others. The guilty person deflects their guilt onto the person who is accusing them or onto another person"

I've never claimed to be a Political Junkie or Knowledgeable about politics generally, indeed I had little interest in Politics until the Pandemic started but now very Tuned in and my word my eyes were opened, no more so towards end of last government and essentially the entire period of this Government.

I'd wager , more and more folks , not remotely interested in Politics and how it affects their daily lives have started paying more attention and scrutinising every decision, lack of decision and actions or lack of action, this actually seems to irritate certain politicians and their supporter's.

Government can't of course be blamed for everything but my god, by any reasonable measure this and the previous governments performance and indeed numerous scandals has been shocking.

Apologies, is this Thread about the Opposition 🤔 have I missed something 🤔

Pushing an agenda BA 🤔 You've been the cheerleader in that regard .

You can't have just FF go , that's not how coalition government works I'm afraid.

As for the Greens , no right thinking person denies their intentions may be laudable but my heavens , they've gone about achieving their Goals in the most extraordinarily incoherent manner. I've repeatedly said change is needed , I'm not particularly happy I depend on Turf but I am ,that's just a simple fact , sure there's grandiose plans, schemes to address retrofitting, insulation etc but the harsh reality is that even with Grants these schemes are out of reach for many and besides at current rates of demand it will be years before some folks will even get a quote.

Greens have also made some astonishing Gaffs and that's also abundantly clear .

I'm happy to be critical of opposition TD'S, some are just out there but they are not making the decisions and I'll be the first to call out half brained notions and have.

I absolutely don't want unstable Government but at this stage the incumbents have lost all sense of reality , have utterly failed to read the room and frankly don't seem to care a Jot about public sentiment.

SF know they are not going to force an election even though the government has lost its majority. The reason why they know this is because convicted criminals like Michael Lowry (so corrupt even FG didn't want him) will vote for them.

But the vote smokes out the scumbags who support vote FF/FG

That would be all in FF/FG and the Greens plus a few Indos. This is nothing new at all. It's how these votes tend to go.

How do you know they 'ignored' it? Maybe they were engaged in transactional politics and Uber didn't come up to muster?

We don't know what happened and it needs to be looked at.

No theory. It may be innocent it may be not.

You are the one with the defensive 'theory' before we know all that went on.

Sure but that is counterproductive as our political landscape is now quite fractured, like all European countries. Every party needs to assume that they will have to do deals. Taking out potential partners is not the way to do that. They may have success with the SDs but the Greens have a wider appeal. They will still be faced with a need to play nice and that loses them votes.

If you say so. You clearly have your own opinion on this but we'll never know as he won't be called on to consider it. Moving on.

Actually "de mob" have taken electoral baseball bats to the Greens, Labour frequently and FF at different times, FG too have suffered their ire. They are not exclusive, if they want to punish a party they will.
