No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

Imo the unionists are doing themselves an injustice by saying 'no'. Voters are fed up of electing ppl who don't take their seats. NI has the best of both worlds the UK and English markets. If I was an FDI and the situation was stable I'd locate there.

With regard to nationalist not getting a fair deal it's not black and white. Example: Jean Mc Convillie returns to West Belfast in her coffin and SF orders everyone inside....pure sick.. justify that.

The person that never made a mistake never made anything. When you are in power for 100 years of. Of course there is going to be plenty mistakes.

All of us landlords are not raking it in you know, we are being driven from the sector in our droves and the same with developers. They can't get the finance anymore because the profit margins aren't there. Building is just too bloody expensive due to the massive energy specs and building costs. But sure I'm sure SF and PBP will fix it with their magic wand. Actually PBP have legislation in front of the Dáil at the moment to start taking people's houses and moving in any resident of the state if there is a spare bedroom. Bunch of fruit cakes the lot of them.

We sold our rental. Partly couldn’t be dealing with entitles tenants and the risk of a SF government is too much. Estate agent said that 75% of rental business at the time was sales to private individuals with fear of SF government being prominent reasons.

I'd say you should run yourself and sort out the whole thing.

Sorry anyone that refers to the Taoiseach as Leo the leaks shows where there party alliances are.

another person here who became an accidental landlord sue to negative equity. Also getting out of it as nonprofessional toon against tenants not paying and constantly looking for stuff tonne fixed , replaced. not risking a SF lead government here either. So that will unfortunately be another family looking for a new home due to the current constant media and populasist agenda about landlords .

being a landlord is not a vocation. It’s not up to the private sector to sort out the accommodation crisis. As in all countries it should be done in a commercial basis . However due to the left agenda people are leaving in their drives .

I'm afraid you are falling for propaganda and lies.

Notable examples of totalitarian states include Italy under Benito Mussolini (1922–43), the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin (1924–53), Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler (1933–45), the People's Republic of China under the influence of Mao Zedong (1949–76), and North Korea under the Kim dynasty (1948– ).

We are the 15 longest democracy in the world. We survived the 20's and 30's and did not slide into a totalitarian state then.

For all your dismissal them FG and FF have observed the rules of democracy. In 1932 the Cumann na nGaedheal handed over power peacefully even though one of there TD's was shot during the election ( many political parties would have used less of an excuse to hold onto power back then).

You might not like that we have had a two and a half party state of the first 80-90 years of our existence and that these parties which are centrist controlled the state, but remember they were elected

'' by the people for the people off the people''.

I am not sure what you mean by the independent media. I have never seen a serious publication refer to the Taoiseach as Leo the Leak or to the present government as FFG. You may find that a few independent contributors referring to them as that but in generally the mainstream media refer to them but there proper initials.

Government's generally accross the world avoid loaded questions by the opposition. SF and the Left parties will do the same when and if they get into government. Government task is to govern. It's something many conveniently forget.

I do not think that I ever referred to ER as cabbage head. I have referred to SF as the Shinnors, however it generally on another forum in reply to a general disparaging post that use offencivies terms for the government.

If you take the time to read posts properly before replying to them and going on a rant you’ll realise I never said farmers are the only ones affected.

I said “unlike a lot of people voting…” And that I fully stand over and anyone that reads it and understands it will agree. There are a lot of voters in this country that have nothing to lose as everything they have was handed to them, not worked for.

These are the people Sinn Fein, PBP etc. target for votes because as long as you can convince them you will give them more than they’re already getting you will buy their vote.

If you think Sinn Fein would be a good governing party for farmers, business owners, multinationals who pay their taxes here, you average tax payer, or even the country in general then the “nuts” part of your name is certainly true.

Although in a funny way it’s people like you that would strongly have me considering voting for Sinn Fein in the next election. It’s probably inevitable they will get into power at some stage in the future so maybe we should take short term pain for long term gain and get them into government as quick as possible. That way when all the gullible people that wanted them in power realise that the magic money tree doesn’t exist and they still can’t get all they were promised, Sinn Fein would be out of government again and probably be forgotten about for a generation or 2.

They can go back to what they’re good at then and shout from the sidelines.
