    Hell do more than the current crop of useless ****ers in Brussels. Hopefully he uses his platform to solve rural burglaries and ends direct provision. There are 4 people of voting age in my house. All voting casey no. 1

    So you want to end direct provision ? You'd be in favour of giving asylum seekers houses of their own then ? (You do realise that's the alternative, right ? - and don't bother saying, no, the alternative is to put them all on planes. That is not legally possible. You cannot deport asylum seekers )

    If you think Peter Casey is going to change the Common European Asylum system, not to mention our own domestic immigration laws, then I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment.

    Hahahaha the only alternative is to give them houses.

    Give me a break. We can do like Australia and send them to an island. That worked for Oz. Sharp drop in the number of "asylum seekers" once they realised they were not getting a cushy life in a b&b

    The only gimps around here are the brainwashed fools voting for FFFGLB expecting a different outcome. Casey will shake things up.

    Lads like Jean Paul Juncker and Donald tusk will be very uncomfortable when actual representatives of the people arrive to Brussels to shake things up.

    You keep saying Casey will shake things up.

    I've asked you twice now what are his policies to 'shake things up' and you've refused to give an answer.

    I'll ask you again. What are the policies you like about Casey that matches his mouth?

    He has none, therefore will do f*ck all, and gullible fools will keep voting for him because underneath it all, they're probably a little bit racist.

    I suppose you're a man who votes for the establishment. You can tell it from your tone. Terrified of the likes of casey who is not afraid to call it like it is! It's actually great to see.

    I don't know what his policies are. He's not elected yet. We'll see what they are once he gets his seat. I'm just glad to see someone who is not afraid to speak his mind.

    These aren't campaign issues. He can't effect any change to these situations in either of the roles he stood for. He's going after the easiest of targets to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
    The reason people will vote for him is that the established parties have decided not to listen anymore. They are trying to tell us how to think instead if listening and forming policies based in what the electorate want.
    The gap has become very large between what City folk want and what the rest of the country wants. You have to be able to listen to and cater for both.
    If you don't you can expect to see many Caseys, Mings and Wallaces being elected.

    At least the parties I vote for have policies and that I know what I'm getting.

    You're voting for someone who has no policies, and judging by your posts in another thread, I know why you're voting for them, and it's the fact that you don't like foreigners.

    You know full well he won't change anything, but hey racists will vote for racists.

    If you are voting for someone without knowing their policies your not very serious about exercising your vote are you?


    I haven't voted on party lines for the last 20 years, I vote purely on the policies that are put before us at that election also looking at what the election is for. These days I tend to work backwards from who I can't vote for.

    I'm sure the heads in Brussels are just quaking at the thoughts of Peter Casey arriving there. LOL. He'll probably be like Farage, turn up get his soundbite and feck off. But hey if it keeps his gimps happy.

    No, people who vote for someone who rants about foreigners and travellers with no actual plans to tackle those 'issues' are the fools.

    What are those people voting for?

    People are very quick to ask me what I vote for when nobody likes to give me any answers themselves.

    The wall is being built

    Not technically true, it's more a fence and it is only partially being built and there is no guarantee it will get the funding it needs. So that's not accomplished either.
    Putting America first

    I don't agree here either. He's putting the Donald and his business interests first.
    Peace building

    LOL definitely saying bollix to this. The North Koreans are playing the Trump administration like a cheap banjo. His Putin love in is making a dangerous situation here in Europe worse. And even domestically he is fueling a growing rift between Americans that could be catastrophic in years to come.
    Man is true to his word

    I don't believe the Donald has ever kept his word on anything. The guy went bankrupt six times and stiffed thousands of small businesses in the process.

    That’s not exactly true though, is it? He made a comment about how he sees travellers and it struck a chord with a number of people.

    He doesn’t like the Direct Provision set up and he’s got a point. It’s a terrible system but no one wants to try a different method as it’s making a lot of money for those running it.

    I won’t be voting for Mr. Casey myself but I do think he’s misrepresented and a number of his supporters aren’t aware of that.

    I'll respectively disagree I think he is doing a great job.
    I admire him most because of his attempts to stop the USA engaging in war far and trying to bring out peace.
    He is a man of peace

    You don't understand it at all, do you?

    A President represents everyone on this island whether everyone voted for him/her or not.

    People voted for him because he 'told the truth' as opposed to anything he actually represents.

    He also got his arse handed to him in the election, lest we forget.

    If you put Casey up against Varadkar or Coveney, for all their faults, they'd wipe the floor with him. Insert Micheal Martin, Mary Lou, even Arlene Foster would walk rings around him.

    But hey, you keep voting for someone with no policies other than to run his mouth and not back any of it up.

    Isn't this par though for many elections and referendums too? People are elected on the basis of how they relate to the electorate, particularly in EU and presidential votes. Most voters I'd venture have a limited grasp of MEPs and their role - so it's more about projecting persona & style as opposed to substance. That was Ming's path and Casey will outMing him.

    Casey did well enough in a sown up election, that no one was that interested in, where the only major party candidate was a dinner party cliche machine, an incumbent that all other major parties backed and a host of people already forgotten.


    It was easy for him to be outside the establishment, people like throwing in a Rep. that is not of the establishment or for it.

    Yes well rte accounts for at least half of higgans vote count.
    They acted as election agents for him across radio and television. In both election campaigns.
    Casey's vote came from the people in spite of Rte attempts to scandalise him mis quote him to make him drop out the race.
    Sure killer tubridy threatened to beat him up after an attempted ambush on the late late show

    Casey got a lot of working class support last time, especially in the West. That vote is still up for grabs.

    You don't like foreigners and you're voting Casey for 'telling the truth' about foreigners.

    Therefore I believe you are a racist.
