if you voted Fine Gael or Labour

I am not saying you should. What I am saying is that you should not vote in the people who got us into this mess in the first place.

 

havent got much respect for the current crowd but you make a decent case for them there shebber

 

it changed massively cabra but it has now regressed, access to credit was something that no worker had in 1913 , it was plentiful over certain periods since especially during the celtic tiger,  if it dries up altogether then you will see a massive fall in the standard of living. access to credit is more important than anything else apart from education and training in aiding upward mobility.

 

 

 

 you have a point  

 

the thing is FG had the same policies as FF during the boom , they were trying to outdo FF with giveaways etc. then everyone voted them in as they were the only alternative

These people are here to do a job for their country,this seems to have been forgotten in the last 20-30 years,not line their own pockets. They have taken no hit themselves,not even a symbolic one. Children,the disabled,mothers and low-middle income families were hit yet again and the only heckle that came on budget day was when the 10% deduction to the leaders allowance was declared. These people are completely out of kilter with the rest of the country. The gap between the wealthy and the poor is growing year on year and amazingly the government itself personifies this.

 Sinn Fein who proclaim to be different say that their td's only take the average industrial wage,which would lead you to believe that the excess goes back into the system?,no it goes into a party fund. Hence the chinese menu style leaflet McGuiness sent out during the presidential election.

The way I see it sadly is that there is absolutely no point in voting with the options that are currently there. The system is broken,the party politics culture is counter productive,how do we change it?,we need a new party,people who are not in it for the money,people who put their country first. I know sounds extremist and whatever but to think Irish people died so that Irish people could run our country,fast forward 100 years and now the establishment which came from those sacrifices need to be paid some of the highest wages in the country. As crazy as it sounds if you had a party that manifested itself from YBIG,i think that at the very least it would have the most important element that all the parties are missing and thats putting your country first!
