No Shinners on the list?

Gerry Adams :mad: Mary Lou :mad: Pearse Doherty :mad:

Sinn Fein is not in government, I would concentrate on those, who make balls out of the country, who impose laws and regulations and stuff. And as far as I know, you have to be in government to change laws, impose new taxes, water charges...

Surprise Enda Kenny hasn't got more votes.

Why's Jackie Healy-Whatshisface on the list? Surely he's gone past his hate-by date after retiring his gob at the last election.

Bertie and Ivor would be 2 strong candidates but as they are not current politicians, should they be on the poll?

As for the rest, I'm reminded of the old joke about politicians being like nappies. Both need to be changed often, usually for the same reason.

Yeah, but elected members of Sinn Fein have murdered, robbed and tortured. Surely that is more likely to evoke feelings of hatred rather than water meters. Especially from the victims and their families.

But to be fair to me, the OP didn't mention politicians being in Government, he just said politicians, which would include members of SF.

Right. And just to give me (as a German National) a short lesson in Irish history: The Blueshirts...ooops, Fine Gael...are some kind of charity organisation, which was never involved in any kind of violence throughout their history?

Let go of the past and move forward.. isn't that what people opposed to the Shinners and their cause usually say?

Bertie is a prize prick for sure.

But big Phil is really getting on everyones wick

I'm sure there have been throughout history but I am not sure whether any politicians from any other parties have been convicted of murder, planted bombs etc.

People have already stated on this thread that 'hate' is too strong a word but would you not agree that it wouldn't be unusual for Jerry McCabe's widow to 'hate' Martin Ferris?

This country is Bourne through violence. Do you have the same hate for Collins, Barry, Dev etc?

Where's Clare Daly on the list??

paddyandy · 18-04-2012 09:02PM

Terrible job ....would'nt do it ...for any money .

keano_afc · 18-04-2012 09:04PM

Lowry for me, purely because he's still in office and even meeting the guy has to be explained. His presence in the Dail is far more trouble than its worth and he should be turfed out. Mandate me arse, he is corrupt, dishonest and reprehensible and has no place in public life, never mind Dail Eireann.

The thread is about who is most hated. Not who each individual hates the most. While people may hate what Bertie did or Enda is doing, there would be few moved to consider murdering them.

But in relation to your point, are Collins, Barry and Dev sitting in any parliament at present?

Gordon Gecko · 18-04-2012 10:40PM

Joe Higgins should be there - filthy communist

sheesh · 18-04-2012 10:44PM

augustus gloop · 18-04-2012 10:46PM

the fact that bastard bertie ahern is not in shackles boils my blood.
honestly if i met that man in the street i would give him a good kick in the hole

Mickey Dazzler · 18-04-2012 10:52PM

leave poor Bertie alone. Sure he was only trying to do his best.

Smidge · 18-04-2012 10:56PM

Cant believe Joan Burton isn't up there.

The whole lot of them should be on the list i.e. United Left Alliance!!

Pete M. · 18-04-2012 11:14PM

Callely gets my vote. Conniving little.....:mad:

Then it would be Shatter. Why I outta...:mad:

As for Joe, Clare and Ming, they're tops of my fav politicians :pac:

Thing is, I dislike Callely and Shatter because they have been directly involved in the ruination of our wee plot, while Higgins & Co. are doing what they can to challenge that. Fair do's I say.

efb · 18-04-2012 11:30PM

You can't say Alan Shatter- thats anti-Semitic

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 19-04-2012 12:06AM
