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.

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.

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 :/
