    I think FG over their time in power have proved the economy comes first and society second. Sadly.

    Classic Right-wing thinking. It's about time we had some proper Right vs. Left politics around here. This weird little setup where we have the one major party divided into two sides yelling "Yerra 'oor grandfather shot bullets at my grandfather, cunsha!!" is not terribly effective in this day and age. All we need now is a Labour party that believes society should come before the economy, as opposed to the current shambles that leaps into bed with any outfit that looks like it might allow them back to the trough. :D

    FG aren't right wing, there is no real right wing or conservative parties in Ireland. Just lots of bland left of centre stuff with the odd PPP/AAA lefty loons.

    I'd have said the FG/FF mish-mash was a just-right-of-centre outfit, but broadly speaking I agree with you.

    What really interests me is option 1s reprehensible acts being ignored while option 2s past dodgey ness still being brought up.

    “I wouldn’t vote for option 2 they did stuff less worse than option 1”.

    When option 2 were in power We were loaded. Most average workers were rolling in it. Option 1 however wages aren’t great much less than when option 2 were running things.

    What would it take for option 1 to lose this support for providing a few low wage jobs.

    Who knows

    They’ve been proven dishonest.

    Are you imagining those comments? Because they aren't here

    Your pretence that this is not a political discussion is shattered. It's clear what politics you adhere to and what response you wish to get.

    It seems to upset you. Every thread I’ve started you seem to take offense to. Is it me or are you like that with all people?

    You arnt very welcoming. I think you are great though just Incase you think I won’t like you and you just wanna get the first shot in before you get your feelings hurt again.

    I think you are all great.

    Far from upset. :D

    I'm just befuddled and bemused by the pretence in the OP, as it's illogical and doesn't hold with your later posts. But in this imaginary world of yours I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by anything.

    You could have just picked an option and decided whether or not to explain your reasoning.
    I’d say what good is the economy if only the few enjoy it while the many survive it.
    Option 2.
    I hadn’t decided until I spent the day thinking about it.
    You on the other hand tried to break the thread.

    I think you'll find I posted constructively on the importance of the economy.
    Asking what good is the economy seems strange. A strong economy is vital for any group to benefit society.

    As for the options, I said there were none that, even imaginary, I could vote for by the mandates given. As political discussion has been forbidden by our great dictator it's impossible to add much more by way of reason.

    It’s great to have an imaginary political discussion without entrenched generation supporters turning up and ruining it.

    When I said what good is the economy I meant it isn’t benefitting the average chap on the street he just thinks it is.

    It’s kinda like pulling a mans pants down then stealing his jocks.
    When he pulls the pants back up he’s told wow look you have pants and they are up. Arnt ye glad you know me.

    This is the big issue; I feel the economy does benefit the average man on the street. Where would he be without it? I have lived through many recessions, depressions, booms and bursts. The average person is doing much better today than 60, 40, or 10 years ago. Things are turning for the good and have done so much quicker than they did in the past. But that doesn't help me choose an option from the imaginary parties, as they seem designed with ulterior motive.

    Glad I know you? Firstly, I don't know you and am quite glad I don't. Indeed I'm contemplating putting you on ignore for a few days, to give my head some peace.

    I was talking about the man pulling the other mans pants down and saying glad I know ye.

    You were being unwelcoming again.
