Surely the population is not stupid enough to vote them in again?

So they were stupid enough to vote them in the first time were they, considering the state the previous gangsters left the country in. Well done  |

They're all gangsters in fairness. The sooner we are rid of completely outdated relics of the civil war such as FF and FG the better. With a bit of luck they'll be forced into government together (their 'divide and conquer' approach has up to this point been extremely successful) and that could hopefully be the beginning of the end for both....although I accept that is highly wishful thinking. It just seems so mental that even today, after ALL the sh*t, you still bump into the odd headcase who supports the likes of FF as if they were their local football team!
We've very few political options in this country and that has always been the case since I've been around. At least there are clear differences between the likes of the Republicans/Democrats in the U.S and the Tories/Labour in the U.K. Our main two parties have always been two cheeks of the same pimply arse.

In fairness Dev, I don't envy either of the Us or the UK's political systems.
I think FG, Lab will return to gov but will likely need some help. I don't think they'll piss it like the lads above think they will! Hard to know what to think with polls etc. Snap elections have historically not worked out for the govt who calls them. I would think the GE will be in Feb/March

Fine Gael majority in the next. Labour will be squeezed out and there will be no coalition.

It will not be a FG majority. It'll be a FG/FF coalition, to keep out the nasty lefties. It'll be the only viable government, anyway. The only other alternative will be a FF/SF/Lab coalition, and even that might not have enough support. FG/Lab won't have enough between them but I wouldn't bet against the rump of Labour shacking up with FF/SF.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like FF will be kingmakers. There will be too many independents, FG will never deal with SF and whichever way FF turns will dictate the next government. The alternative is a FG/Lab minority government, with the support of a few independents, but that won't last. |

I'd suggest that there is zero chance of that happening ever in my lifetime.

Ha, fair point!
Agree there is not a hope of an FG majority government. I would imagine the arrogance levels would break the stratosphere if that ever did happen. In some ways it's a shame it doesn't as the junior partner in government is nearly always used as the scapegoat for problems/issues.

It makes sense to do it this side of Christmas if FG can orchestrate it. A kind budget when people are in good form heading into Christmas beats a gloomy February/March when people are smashed after Christmas. The other parties have their own issues too right now which could be used in FG campaign.

The problem with the opposition is, is that they don't come across to the squeezed middle as having any good policies.

For me....
Fine Gael = took stingy with the money Fine Fail = too carefree with the money Labour = don't know what to make of them anymore. Lost their identity. Sinn Fein = no sensible ideas/policies Independents = too unpredictable Don't know what I want really, you'd think a FF/FG coalition would work on paper, probably the sensible.

So you feel the decisions they made and not made so far are justified to vote them in again? |
