and 4 more ministers..... and its been a shambles for decades but people dont do anything about it, if people went and voted then it'd be fine but they dont and then all they do is complain..... you only get what you put in.

But what faith can we keep? We will be 80 billion in debt with some other numpty coming along inheriting a huge mess than cant possibly be sorted out in the next decade at the earliest...

Moving abroad is the only option.

But he only won the vote of confidence earlier this week?

He is the same as the rest of them. They know they are getting their arse kicked in the election so they are skipping bail now. Won't even let us have the satisfaction of democratic justice.

Yeah basically last week he went round asking them would they give him a vote of confidence if he called one...they said yeah,. he called one, he won it, ministers drop left, right and centre, then he realised there was no point.....he's an asshole....

He keeps getting asked questions about him possibly saying sorry and he keeps giving long winded answers. Just say sorry for christ sake.

Michael Martin will be the next leader of the party I reckon.

Im not sure if he's the right way to go, I mean he went awfully quiet for a while there and only started throwng his weight around the past month.....fuk it man I have no idea who im gonna vote for...its basically a lose lose situation.

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan is the way to go. I think he intends on running as an independent TD for the Dail. His a mad bastard in favour of legalizing Cannabis - looks more like a roadie than a politician - but he is well respected [mayor of roscommon I believe].

Watch 'The Life & Crimes Of Citizen Ming' on YT. Great show.

Now the Green Party
with its 6 members has stood down
they are the reason Cowen got total power.

The Election is being Demanded to happen Now

For his own safety
I would advise a Election in 4 weeks.
Snow or No Snow.

Michael Martin will get leadership of the party I reckon, he's as bad as the rest of them but atleast he speaks well and looks more presentable than Biffo :/

"I believe it will be extremely likely now that the general election will be held on Friday, Feb 25," said Labour finance spokeswoman Joan Burton.

I just wish it wasn't inevitable that Fine Gael will get in, they're just as bad, would love to see some independents and the socialist party, maybe even Sinn fein have a go

Iceman
24-01-2011, 06:23 PM
I wouldnt be opposed to Sinn fein myself.....I still have no concrete idea who i'll vote for.....and I expect the turnout of this to be huge.....

We need a complete change and Fine Gael isn't going to be enough of one imo

Yeah I was talking to Joe Costello earlier....he's Labour up here and an old family friend.....he said off record that he doesnt even know what he's gonna do.....he reckons its gonna be a hge turnout though and it could be pretty unpredciatable...
