How to ditch Cork?

Dangerous Man · 27-02-2011 03:34AM

The reason why people are pissed off with the people of Cork is because they had a chance that no one else in the country had; they had the chance to boot out the leader of FF. It would have been a huge statement. It would have helped strike home the message that FF are no longer wanted. But no. They voted for their home grown.

And no - this WOULDN'T have happened in Dublin. We've all seen what Dublin have just done to FF; they've torn them apart.

They kept Lenihan in Dublin. Also Dublin previously gave us Bertie.

If only......they will challenge for the next election and if I was a betting man I would put everything I had to spare on them winning it.

Remember this post. FF in power after next election as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

The point is people who vote for FF are not idiots(As they choose to vote for them in majority not as of family connection but as of policies or they feel the need to have a centralist opposition) and from personal experience when asking people why they are voting for say FG or Lab they gave very little reason but said they wouldn't vote FF as they've heard people say how they've destroyed Ireland but dont know how they did.

FF is quite a different party now and any that say it need to be destroyed are quite foolish.And to note I didn't vote FF but I do see their need.

I'm from Cork and I couldn't agree more. Incredible and brilliant that Dublin only elected 1 of the likely 17 Fianna Fáil seats. Sinn Fein didn't gain much ground in Dublin this time either.

I hope to fúck Billy Kelleher doesn't get that seat in Cork North Central.

UnknownSpecies · 27-02-2011 04:22AM

Both Cork East and Cork South West voted in no Fianna Failers......? Thats 3 seats out of 7 lost for Fianna Fail, surely you must respect that! That's a significant change like !

El Siglo · 27-02-2011 04:24AM

Could we just sell Cork and the people to the Germans and pay off our debt that way? Two birds, one stone.

Not if you're talking about the whole county it isn't. I do agree the Cork East people are great though.

Even Kerry didn't vote in FF, so they kicked you're asses on this one as well.

I have no defense for this logic.

Cork 1- 0

Dublin 0 - 14

Micheal Healy Rea makes up for it though. What were they thinking?

Must every single event that involves Cork lead to a thread where people convince themselves that all we do is walk around talking about how we're the real capital and calling each other langers? Really? Thinking the PROC forum represents Cork is like thinking the average Boards user represents the average Irish person. Cork people voted for some shit candidates. So did voters in, um, every other constituency. Fianna Fail still performed shockingly badly overall so it appears that our monthly plan for world domination has failed again...

Yes you're right, every candidate who has been elected outside Cork has been outstandingly competent.

I didn't say that. Do the maths. Dublin has a population of over 1 million people. They elected only 1 Fianna Fail candidate with quater of the the poulation of Ireland. Cork is looking at 5 Fianna failers FFS. The rest of the country will elect another 11 of these muppets. Dublin win! I'm a Cork man. Stop with the spin.

I hear great things are expected from this Healy-Rae fellow. And shur hasn't Lowry been the perfect model of an honest politican for years now?

The lowly backward drudgeons in Cork, of course, would never elect fine folks of that calibre...

I said voted for in my original post. Not elected.

What is wrong with you?.

Jesus christ, I'm simply comparing the overwhelming Fianna Fail vote in the Cork constituency to Dublin with one Fianna fail TD elected. I'm also comparing this to the rest of the country in a statistical sense, which I find to be quite staggering.

myflipflops · 27-02-2011 06:35AM

I would guess Michael Martin would have been re-elected in nearly any constituency if he was from there (barring a couple of the more left leaning places). Brian Lenihan the same. I will get abuse for this but having both of them in the opposition is a good thing.

The most shocking fact is the % vote FF have gotten from Cork, not the re-election of certain people.

Maybe its just the devil ya know kinda thing going on

I'll say it again so you're clear. The people of Cork just voted in the leader of FF. They had the chance to vote the leader of FF out as a statement of intent for the rest of the country; Cork should have told Ireland that they were with them. They didn't. They failed.

Would you like an itemised list?

This confused, rambling narrative that hopes to sort of appeal to someone who is half listening doesn't work on the internet, my friend.

FF has been buried in this election, six foot deep at a crossroads facing down. Now we need to salt the earth to make sure no other warped growths bubble out of the twisted cadaver.

Due to Corks scandalous FF voting, clearly thinking because its a party leader Martin might do something "for the area" these bloody rebels have most treacherously turned their backs on the rest of the country
Cork FF vote nearly 30% the bastards!

Rebels me arse !

No wonder your party amounted to **** all if you can't understand that.

bonerm · 27-02-2011 03:09PM

Ah look on the bright side. When Cork achieve their Republic FF can move in there exclusively and leave the rest of us free of their cancerous 90 year reign. They're both welcome to each other.

The more abuse the FF partisans hurl from the deep dark crevice they've been dropped in by the electorate, the sweeter it gets.

I'm away for a drive in the country folks, its a lovely day today.

Why did you quote the same post twice with two different replies? I got your point the first time...
