    Better or worse than Bertie allowing the bankers to make their own rules?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I have never voted FF but I have a begrudging respect for Martin for the smoking ban.
    It was, genuinely, politically brave. Almost everyone was against it yet he pushed ahead with it because it was the right thing to do. There were no vested interests pushing it.

    But, no, please let's not have FF in power again.

    That's the problem. Do ya stick with this shower or do ya go back to the last crowd who wrecked the place?

    So I think it does not matter. No other party can get the numbers to get a majority.

    So we may get to pick who is the smaller coalition party.

    I still think this doesn't matter because their all out for themselves.

    Money and power is all they care about.

    A very high percentage are bluffers.

    The system is broken, maybe even democracy is broken. Its hopeless.

    i think it typifies the problem. a few years back apparently FF were dead in the water, now that no-one wants FG, its FF's turn. They should both just join up and be the one party

    Ff as bad as they are, didn’t exactly plan the bust. Fg have been in power nine years and are trying to turn the working people ( that they lied about representing) into life long serfs to benefit their overlords. Morally corrupt !

    He's a rat.

    People are putting on serious rose-tinted glasses and are forgetting just how much havoc the man caused himself, his direct involvement in FF before the crash.

    He's a contrarian who'll say what he likes now to try and get votes in the GE and then turn on them in a moment.

    I personally know the man. He's a rat and he doesn't care.

    FF will just ruin the country again. Probably get a free pass for a while blaming FG for the mess. Then the same old **** will be out in force. Scandals, tax payer money wasted, friends appointed to govt jobs who are not qualified. Then give away budgets and then the **** hits the fan.

    We will never learn.

    I can't wait till Micheal Martin becomes Prime Minister, I have no doubt that from that very moment all our lives will improve immeasurably.

    Have to say though, time appears to be a great healer, either that or people have very short memories, I will never consider the following partys for a vote:

    1. FF - caused the worst crash in the history of the state, to forget this is embarrassingly irrespponsible.

    2. SF - Gerry was never in the IRA you know, I think you should get free mental health care if you trust these charlatans, they're the worst of the worst!

    3. FG - for all the lies they told in opposition and back tracking they done when they landed in Government.

    4. Labour - see FG

    5. Social Democrats - head cases, plus what ever happened to Stephen 'ping pong' Donnelly and which party will he join next week, stay tuned to find out.

    6. Renua or Aontú - I'd rather we didn't return to Archbishop McQuaid's Ireland.

    7. Any of the loony left partys ie - PBP, AAA, Socialist Party etc

    8. Green Party - I have no intentions of eating a steak made from fúckin plants!

    ....think that about leaves me with the Healy Raes, may move to Kerry so :-)

    I imagine Leo is bored with it all anyway, another tick on his life goals chart.

    Simon will be handed the reigns and it will be back to serious business, would catch that man with novelty socks on.

    I've been called a Fine Gael bot on here before.

    However, the Rural Broadband was the moment that I thought FG have been in power for too long. It was/is a ridiculous decision.

    I do have sympathy in general for FG, running such a weak government is a thankless task. But, I don't think FF will do a much worse job.

    I'll probably waste my vote and vote Labour.
