He sounds like a good choice, fair play to him .if I lived there he'd get my vote .

Before Adams took over , Sinn Fein had a socialist strategy ( Eire Nua ) that addressed pretty much everything that chap is talking about . Needless to say in the early 80s it was the first thing Adams got rid of, replacing strategy and core values with a ( empty ) slogan .
During the recent floods, Michael Fitzmaurice took out his own excavators and saved people's houses from flooding. That's only a fraction of what he's doing, and he deserves all the votes he can get.
 
The 2016 Irish general election: a final look at the parties and the polling

"Irish voters go to the polls today in the country’s general election. Ahead of the vote, Adrian Kavanagh provides a final look at the parties and the polling. Using a constituency level analysis of opinion polls, he illustrates how seat projections have changed since 2014, noting that a late swing in the polling means the governing parties, Fine Gael and Labour, could struggle to have enough support to return to power."
 
A scumbag after all, then. If I could still vote, I'd seriously consider SF.

I wouldn't. They are the new Fianna Fail.

I did manage to get all the way to number three on my ballot though, which is near enough to a personal record. Anti-Austerity Alliance - People Before Profit, Workers Party, a left wing community independent. The independent has an outside chance of winning, but probably won't.
 
I'm still laughing at the Irish Independent's decision to go with a front page lead on election day announcing that Pigfucker Cameron had endorsed Fine Gael. How fucking detached from reality do you have to be to think that associating your party of choice with the British Conservatives is a sharp move in an Irish election?

i can understand them putting the story on the front page to emphasise fine gael's new fanboi, to get people to cast their vote elsewhere.

It's like independence never happened :facepalm::(
 
I mean even among the kind of clowns who vote for the main right wing parties over here, the British Tories are about as popular as a violent dose of the shits in a wetsuit. How in the name of fuck can they have thought that they were helping Fine Gael with that front page?

they're ensuring they will get their die-hard supporters' votes. but no one else's.
 
Trying to embed a Leo Varadkar tweet. failing badly.



Is anti-welfare sentiment common in Ireland? I suppose if it is I shouldn't be surprised but I always sort of thought that Irish people, like say the Spanish, were on the whole more sensible about it than the English

I'd say it varies very dramatically according to what social fraction you're dealing with.

It's quite common. As is anti-immigration and other issues. Sadly.
 

Our religion teacher told us about a lad who used to live in Castlebar and supported himself busking on the streets with a banjo.

Then one night along came "the lads". Who busted his banjo over his head for him.

After that, he got a mouth organ, but it wasn't the same. And he didn't last the winter.
