There are very few people I dislike as much as Niall Boylan. Can’t even listen to Classic Hits anymore because of him. He’s an absolute gobsh*te with zero charisma. I can’t believe anyone could vote for him.

they don't need an electoral breakthrough or even significant numbers of true believers to cause significant harm unfortunately

Serious social damage done to Ireland thanks to these single sex schools by what I assume was a church led strategy.

Seems like Derek Blight’s brother changed his name to conceal convictions for burglary and drugs in order to run in the elections. 

There’s not enough that can be done to expose these fools.

Many of the right wing crowd that you cheer on would not be in agreement with this view.  They want a return to the great time in Irish history the 1950s 😀😀

This is true. They find other ways of influence. Bogus “community activism” is a sure fire sign of a wingnut.

If your not in agreement with these views, you are a mad leftie.

It's as if there was zero damage done by white Irish Catholics over the last 100 years and the country was a better place back then.

Maybe that's why I don't cheer them on and form my own opinions taking views from the left, right and centre to form a sensible approach. Unlike you ya mad leftie!

PBP have written to other ‘left’ parties about a transfer pact, and exclude Labour and the Greens. But somehow they still think the Shinners are on the left. They really are clueless and naive in equal measure. Hope the voters finally pull the chain on them in the upcoming elections.

You said the shinners were the only one for “CHANGE?” You really are confused.

I said the SF were the biggest party in opposition and the only major party looking for "CHANGE" and resultantly have to bring along PBP and independent socialists to form a Government. I may have even said SD but I'd be reluctant as basically they are scabs of the Labour Party.

No. You said..

“I’m willing to give SF my vote for CHANGE“. That was on the 25th March. Make up your mind.

at least when you quote me, quote me correctly, ya Clown

"We need change and we need it now. My voting history would be over the last 20 years of The Workers Party, Independent Socialists candidates, PBP etc and SF would have gotten a preference along the way. That’s changed now, we need change. We’ve had 100 years of the elite in this country ruling the roost. I’m willing to give SF my vote for CHANGE"


Like i said "It's the way I always vote."  Left wing with preferences staying left but with SF no.1 in Locals and General election with a high preference in the European election pending polling closer to the day as to how it will make my vote go further. And if you want to quote me on that i'll do it for you Tory Boy " I’ll only be putting down a 1,2,3,4 on the ballot paper this time based upon how the opinion polls can make my vote go further. (Wallace, Gavan, Funchion & Penderville)."
