FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

…this would default another ffg government!

…the only real alternative government at the moment is a sf lead one, by not voting sf, the outcome would simply default to ffg

The Political establishment has proven to be nearly obsolete at this stage so why not.

This Country is definitely run for big business and not its people.

Stupid is voting the same and getting the same rinse repeat pattern.

Yeah more of the kind of independents we have in the current Dail they will end up either clogging up the backbenches as they are now or propping up another FFG government.

Either way they'll have little or no influence on national policy because most of them have little or no interest in that.

It won't run on fresh air and is now under the remit of the C&AG as well as the PAC,so I don't understand where the reward is ?

Irish democracy at work. Vote for 1 of the 2 or none or both! Certain parties have become accustomed with consist votes to the point of complacency which has lead to arrogance which has lead to outright ignoring and dictating to public. A change and shakeup would do no harm what so ever. Theyve turned in this country a lot of things over the years into a gambling venture to benfit the elite few. (Housing being one)

People and society seems to be the next in line.

…but again, by not placing sf at a higher preference on the ballot paper, will simply cause a default to another ffg government, ffg are clearly just gonna block up our political system now, theyre gonna do everything in their power to maintain their position, they will continually fall over each other in attempting to form governments, i.e. the only way to try break this position it to attempt to elect sf, as the only two current combinations of government are sff or ffg, so pick your poison……

…theres nothing to get over here! yes many will indeed vote for ffg, enough to form another ffg lead government, what some ffg voters are not willing to accept, theres actually many voters who are actually completely done with ffg, and even sf for that matter, but some ffg supporters seem to think ffg actually have a given right to dominate our poltical system, preventing alternatives…..

i have ideas on how our election system works, but please do enlighten us?

…again, the pr-stv system does not mean voters have complete say and control over what governments are formed, as elected officials also play a vital role, in particular major parties, as they can effectively dictate government formation, particular after votes are cast….

…this is exactly what ffg will do going forward, as they will do everything in their abilities to prevent alternatives such as sf from forming, hence their current government formation agreement, they will maintain this for as long as possible, possible indefinitely, in order to prevent alternative government formations, effectively blocking such….

…yes lets continue to blast sf, and you wouldnt be far wrong, but has ffg truly lived up to it, as they seem to be flying it in regards housing and health care…..

…tis all good really, isnt it!

I doubt anyone who voted FF in the last election wanted them in coalition with FG or vice versa

FF got most seats with SF next, FG I believe lost most seats which was telling from the voters that they did not want FG back in power but alas it happened with FFG
