Simon Harris, the TikTok Taoiseach

Harris was being followed around Castlebar by the Burkes by the looks of things. The ice cream was safe though.

Tik toc taoiseach is right. Times up!

Morals ya say. Dont give a shite what the right want either way. But i sure as hell care what the extreme left (american shite terms)keep preach on high to us all. And its just as dangerous. Its my more impending concern and consequences of such at the min than any distance far right boogeyman. And if he/she/it does exist. We'll deal with him at future date too.

This thread has aged well… :D

14 years in government. Must be doing something right.

Don't confuse piss-poor and disorganised opposition as a vote of support for FG or the current Government.

Voter apathy (particularly in regards the EU elections where many feel entirely disconnected from it - how many can ordinarily name their MEPs never mind what they do?) is a factor as well.

We'll see how they do in the General. That's the real test.

Rte shows that FF and FG are each down a little and SF are up a little since last locals. Also the plethora if independents doesn’t bode well for meaningful action on anything. A society divided against itself ?

People who bother to go out have to vote for someone.

In the absence of a proper alternative, most will just stick to what they know.

That's not the same as active support however. It benefits the incumbents only as long as the options are so poor.

If that changes though, that supposed support will fall away rapidly.

It's ironic that you throw around terms like "nonsense" and "f*cking stupid" when your entire attitude screams of immaturity and insecurity. What's amusing is watching you flail desperately trying to distract from it. You forgot to mention SF though!

FF WERE essentially dead - until FG and Enda Kenny made them electable again, but that is FG's role historically. Never elected on their own merit but as a protest vote when FF lose the run of themselves, and only until they remind the electorate why that is. FG in Government are worse than FF as we've seen again this time out - the never-ending Children's hospital black hole, immigration out of control and tent cities in Dublin, housing (that's what happens when you sell lots of it off through NAMA I suppose), health, a huge cost of living crisis and widening gap between the haves and have nots (in spite of us supposedly swimming in money - on paper anyway!) etc etc.

But not to worry. As I said, we'll see in the GE how this alleged support translates into seats.

Alleged support!!!

You been asleep the last few days?

Elaine Loughlin: Taoiseach Simon Harris moves at speed because he knows he has to

There have been TikTok updates for the wider public to mark his one-month and two-month anniversaries as head of Government.

Every day counts for Mr Harris, a man eager to move at speed because he knows he has to. As the EU counts trundled on, the Taoiseach was back in the Dáil being accused of getting things done too quickly.

When he became leader of Fine Gael, Mr Harris knew his time in office would be short. The results of the local and European elections will put extra pressure on him to reduce his stint as Taoiseach even further.

TheTiktokseach doesn't miss out on a chance capitalize on photo ops: -

TikTok: Thank you to the people of Ireland for voting for Fine Gael.

TikTok: It's an honour to do this job. I will every hour possible to deliver for you, your family, your community and our country.

Hopefully the talked about GE before the clocks go back, see fruitition?

'talked about' instead of 'romour' used here because I was accused of lying (libelous) the last time I used that!

Chickens coming home to roost. FG in league with Drew Harris allowed these far right to grow and get out of control just to cause a divide in society and to spite SF so they only have themselves to blame. It wouldn't surprise if this is just some whack job making a threat he cannot carry out but shame on FG politicians anyhow for what they have done to this country that it has now come to this.
