We also all got used to living in fantasy land during FF's reign with low/no taxes for a lot of people which simply isn't realistic. We need to get more money in and be paying less money out in wages/welfare/etc AND try to bring down the cost of living so we can bring down the costs of doing business and the levels of social welfare in kind. However, to do so, we have to hit everyone. You need to take a much more realistic look at the state of the place, Paddy, and realise that the Government have a very tough job to do, regardless of who is occupying it. I'm confident that we've the best people in there at the moment, opinions may differ but the one remaining fact is that whoever is governing has a fúcking difficult job to be doing at the moment and HAS to make unpopular changes in order to secure the future of this place. It's easy to sit there and say "I'd tell X,Y and Z to fúck off and that we're keeping the money or similar" but when push comes to shove the Government have to do what is calculated to be the best overall thing for the country and I firmly believe FG are doing that.

A third of the electorate here are happy with the job FG have done since being elected, despite not being able to fulfill many of the objectives they had planned to before entering government. The opposition have gotten weaker and weaker. The next Government will be lead again by FG, have no doubt about that, and for the sake of the country I'm extremely glad of that fact.

Going on all recent opinion polls, if there was a general election in the morning, FG would retain it's seats.

RHarrow wrote: » Have a look on TheJournal.ie and take a quick note of the amount of comments associated with each article, and what that article is about. The articles on politics and the economy get many multiples of the number of comments other articles get, and when you read them, it's apparent that basically none of those rambling gobshítes has a clue what they're talking about. The sheer quantity of the bullshít would suggest that these people are logging onto these sites purely TO rant and nothing more. They're not there to read, they're not there to interact, they're not there to have a light hearted conversation they're just there to rant, rant, rant about things they haven't the slightest clue about. The same people are posting here, right here, right now. Not a single clue how politics or the economy works, yet happy to burn each and every day rambling on Irish web communities about it. Instead of filling byte after byte with inane, uneducated rants about the Government/EU/Banks/other things they don't know about, their time online could be spent on the many free educational resources available and actually learn a thing or two about these topics. However, in the end they're the type who didn't care for school, didn't care for college (and now claim those who did to be snobs/elitists/etc) and are again rejecting free education, instead preferring, as usual, to sit and point the finger at everyone else for their own failures. And now that many of said people can't get work on the sites/other easy jobs, they're blaming everyone else who has achieved success and stability for their own problems. It's pathetic, but once you realise that their views are representative of a very tiny but vocal minority and a minority that the rest of society generally doesn't care about, you'll soon find yourself just laughing at them instead.
