Irish General Election - Friday, November 29th *Read OP for Mod Warnings*

Delighted that video of Harris has come out. If anyone needed convincing how awful he is, that sums it up.

And his fawning brigade with their tongues hanging out in adoration of him. Pathetic individuals.

FG are a party of snobs as are their supporters. Just look at the likes of Richmond, O'Carroll MacNiell, Humphries, McEntee to name a few. They look down on anyone who may require the help of the state and make it as difficult as possible to get the help but then they bend over backwards to make sure those with money get the conditions to make more money.

The Greens hardly dictated policy.

Labour or Soc Dems may, if in govt, try to block some legislation proposed by FFG, but on things like asylum immigration policy, FFG would get votes in the Dail from the independents to get over the line.

Its not out of the question that FFG can form a govt by themselves. Some polls have them at over 90 seats.

Social welfare benefits to the serial unemployed have never been higher, under the current FFG govt.

Local councils taking high end apartment blocks for social housing, govt paying well over 2k a month for unemployed people to live in nice apartments, plus all the medical card, free travel, and generous dole money, xmas bonuses for not working, the list goes on.

You could hardly accuse the govt of being hardline on those that dont work.

The market doesn't always dictate the price for everything. Certain things are public services, not commodities. There have been countless examples of such things even throughout Irish history. Electricity, was not always for profit on this country. Bin collection was not always for profit in this country. These are houses, for people to live in, that we're talking about. Not a particular luxury. Not pints on the weekend. To compare it as such as facetious.

Are you in turn saying everything is hunky dory and the market is working just grand?

Would the majority be FG supporters?

I wonder if we will see the FG attack dogs put away for the last few days and the likes of McEntee sent out to give a more emphatic side rather than the usual arrogance and heckling we see from the likes of Richmond and O'Carroll McNeill.

Yes, nitrates derogation disagreement and anti-business decisions like not opposing the airport cap put the Greens on a collision cause with a pro-business govt; looking to retain the popular vote, nationwide.

Indo have released a ttaster for their latest poll, i.e. nonsense about Mcgahon & Hutch

The latter might still go ahead, with Harris replaced by

just reading the threads

Were you actually?

Because I doubt you'd find more than one or two people on the boards.ie presidential election threads in the month or so before the election saying

Kamala was a shoe in

I wasnt agreeing with how much the long term unemployed are getting in supports, just saying the govt cant be accused of not helping them.
