FF stroke number 1 today.

USC charge reduced from 7% to 4% on monies earned after 10K for medical card holders.

A good thing, money will be balanced from self employed earning 100K+ p.a who benefited from the budget changes. 3% surcharge on earnings above 100K to be percise is the change.

FF stroke number 2 should be along soon.

Yeah there will be some of that going on. People that never lost jobs and the pay cuts never really affected them and could still afford to pay their bills and live comfortably enough. A good few from that demographic will have no problem voting FF with a change of leadership. But granted the above just described me and i will and me fúck be giving them a sniff of ink from my pen come election day.

Correct this group including myself have come through things relatively unscathed so far. I will never vote for FF.

Are you voting independant because of the quality of candidate in your area or just because you don't agree with any parties policies.

Sean Quagmire · 25-01-2011 02:51PM

I voted for labour yesturday. However after seeing that absolute tool Joanne Burton last night I just could not justify voting for them in the election. That woman is cancer. Why in ****s name would you consistently put her on national debates? Because of her I don't know who to vote for, sinn fein or waste it on an independent..

The former. All Party associated candidates are asshats, as are most of the independants too

Surely it's more interesting to get an indication of how the voting will go in the run up to the election?

I can see them, who'd have thought FF would be the highest polling party.

It's not the leadership that's the primary problem, it's everyone in party... A leader just ends up as someone to point the finger at...

Obviously people are entitled to privacy but I never understood the need to hide who you vote for. Are you ashamed of your political preferences?

panda100 · 25-01-2011 03:08PM

People before Profit option should be changed to 'The United Left Alliance'.This is a recent alliance comprising of The Socialist Party, People before Profit and the Tipperary based Workers and Unemployed Action group.

Secret Ballot, as in a ballot box, or the poll above?

In a ballot box, I recon it's so you can't put together a report on who voted for what. Which means not being able to force someone to a particular selection and then being able to check up on it.

Publicly, yeah I'd expect people to discuss how they feel things should be...

in regards to the poll above, I would of expected it not to be a public poll as it could lead to quite a bit of abuse here, particualrly in AH. But I'm suprised to see it's a hidden poll, as others have mentioned before...

Could of been a great chuckle...

Micky Dolenz · 25-01-2011 03:10PM

Who is A. N. Other and what do they believe in? have they a catchy slogan?. I'll think I'll vote for them.

Just a general observation. Obviously I agree with secret balloting but in a social context, like here, I would find it strange if people were loath to fess up to who they vote for.

At the very least, it would identify FF voters who start a thread every day fulminating against the government's economic policies.

Labour for me by the way.

Micky Dolenz · 25-01-2011 03:18PM

Well, that didn't work.

Fair enough.

To be honest, haven't got a clue yet, none of'em really seem to be giving me a reason. They're always just pointing fingers and blaming each other all the dam time.

I'll wait till I see who's being put forward in my Constituency and determine based on their agenda and what their party are putting forward on the whole then.

Would anyone from South Kerry like to enlighten us?:pac:
