Do You Think The Government Is Doing A Good Job?

I think they havent got a f**king clue how to run a bath let alone a country.

Endless tribunals, wastefull spending, higher taxes when we were in a recession, health service a mess, quangos.

List is pretty much endless.

The next 40 days will prove to be their most productive. It's damage limitation, they can't do as much harm on holidays.:rolleyes:

No they are joke, as are the people who keep voting them in time and time again.

ejmaztec · 21-12-2008 09:57PM

Are we talking about the job of running the country, or those little diy projects that they do at home to take their minds of the complete fucking shambles that they've made of the one they get paid for?

cowen shouldn't be trusted with an under 12s football team.

I'd say this will be the most one side poll on boards since the "would you ride Mary Harney thread"

Yes, it's always nice to know that we're in good hands.

Muppets because they disagree with you?

KnifeWRENCH · 21-12-2008 11:45PM

I can honestly say that the recession has not yet had any significant impact on my day to day life.
I'm sick and tired of the idiotic rabble I see here everyday bitching about how bad our country is and how our Government is lyk ZOMG soooo bad!!1!!1!

If you all think ye can do a better job then by all means put yourselves forward in the next election.

Quazzie · 21-12-2008 11:46PM

I voted yes because most of the problems that are facing the government at the moment are not solely there own fault. Most of the problems are global and I'm pretty happy with the steps made so far to try keep ahead of the recession.

Ah no..because how can anyone say that the Governement is doing well at a time like this? with sincere honesty?
Name me one good thing they're done this year?

[Jackass] · 21-12-2008 11:48PM

41% (afaik) said yes, where were the rest of ye when it counted?

[Jackass] · 21-12-2008 11:56PM

look at the poll at the top.

85% (now) say NO 15% say yes.

I always wonder where these people are come election time. Granted Kenny is a bit of a tool and Ahern was the fools hero, but even with biffo they'd be re-elected.

I'd rather a few decent lads trying to sort out this country than sleezy corrupt liars with a hand on PR and connections where it counts (Sir Anthony are you listening? What should my opinion be today?)

2 weeks of being told what you think and FF are back in power. I'm just saying clown power decides who runs a country (not just here - everywhere)

Oh yea we had a state of the art health service, seen in 5 mins.

Ah we didnt mind spending a few mill on a pole in O'Connell St, we didnt care that the E-Vote machine's we'rent worth a ****.:rolleyes:

Steve · 22-12-2008 12:40AM

They're a bunch of fcuking muppets that couldn't organise a ride in a brothel.

The only smart one was Bertie, purely because he knew when to abandon the sinking ship.

They still could of eased the damage. And they admitted they didn't notice it until July of this year!

As well as that, after leaving the boom years, what have we got to show for it?

Anyway, it's about time we got rid of the whole complacency thing, that's something we have to deal with first, eleven years is too long to be in Government, considering the job they're doing.

Well to be fair the health service has been in trouble for years and plenty of other departments too. When things were good FF did a very good job at squandering millions. This has to be the worst government of all time at the worst possible time too, even looking at the papers today they're still f**king things up at every turn. If FF were a fire service they'd turn up months late without any water, a complete f**king shambles, they're only interest is to milk the state for perks, pensions and expenses. If they had any respect for us they should just apologise and leave office. If you think things are bad now, just wait for next month, almost one third of businesses are expected to close down.:eek::(

And we're still paying to store these things, they should sell them off to Africa, at least they'd use them, having elections every month or so.:pac:

Oh yay, another pointless internet poll aimed at those predisposed to bitching about how useless the government is without proffering a workable solution.

The government is paid to run the country, it's running the country and if you don't like how it's running the country, go out and vote for someone else at the next election.

It was elected by majority in an open vote, you can't get much fairer than that.
