They try to curry favour by promising the sun moon and the stars to gather votes and I found it ridiculous. The Gerry Adams input into the presidential debate was particularly pathetic. He was spoofing the entire way thru the economic debates. Just to clarify,I couldn't give a monkeys about any of the political parties. I think it's you talking through your arse if you can't back up your opinion. Your hatred for SF is clouding your judgement. Maybe you should listen to Pearse Doherty or Peadar Kearney... Thank you for enlightening me on my hatred of Sinn Fein, I hadn't realised. What am I getting from santy do you know? I've an opinion based on how I interpret information I see in front of me. Hatred, no. That's reserved for getting out of the cot in the mornings. Every single party promises the electorate everything. No party in Ireland are based on a ideology. They're all centred around populism

Broken promises and self gratifying spoofing are 2 of the main reasons I no longer view politics in a good light.
But SF are, IMO, of course, by far and away the worst for telling people what they want to hear, despite the lack of a clear plan in many cases to account for expenditure. I dread the day they arrive into power, and it will happen too.
I won't be shouting I told you so, I will probably be too sickened by that stage at the state of the country.

No wonder they're associated with robbing banks in the past, they're daft policies would have to be supplied with money from somewhere sure. I've lost all faith in politics in this country unfortunately, and even saw an instance of it at local level yesterday to leave me in little doubt. Makes a nice change from the banks robbing us dont ye think?

Is either ok?

Not in a normal country.

I always voted FF but went for FG after the mess they left this country in. As it stands I would vote for them again. As for SF, not a hope in hell would I vote for them.Clueless idiots

Don't really know where your going with this to be honest. Do you?
It appears you feel I want politicians punished, I couldn't give a toss about them. But doing them harm, no I'm not insane.
People make mistakes, theirs have just been costly, to many.

What I won't do though is justify mine by firing out a list of reasons or explanations to be picked through by others. I stand by what I have said in previous posts based on my opinion. I don't intend on slingin them out here however.

Fair enough!

How about a YBIG political party?

Sinn Fein: Huge social welfare (remember they wanted unemployed welfare to be €300 a week in the Celtic tiger days), decreased taxes (according to them) and inevitable bankruptcy ULA: The country would be bankrupt in 5 minutes. We need a true centre right party in Ireland.

All complete liars and bluffers. Time to appoint Q man as head of ybig to steer this ship home.

Fcuk em all, all a shower of €unts
