SF could have 0 seats in Dublin but will probably keep 1.
Its all very well having them in a devolved "government" in NI but in reality they have little control over taxes or economic policy. Its more like a super local authority.

News Letter (Northern Irish paper) leading with the headline "Dublin says no". Focus of the article on SF's poor seat haul and the resultant Unionist rejoicing. Jeffrey Dondalson saying it's Southern recognition of Northern Ireland's status or some nonsense.

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
I wrote the post below during last years elecetion campaign to outline why I wouldn't vote for Bertie and the PDs...on the day after he's left office and we're having to listen to him and his supporters try and convince us as to how great a 'leader' he was well below outlines why I for one have no respect for him,sure he did something for the peace process but on balance IMO his litany of failures in terms of economic and social policies plus I suspect some serious forthcoming exposure of his unusual finances down at the Mahon Tribunal, will clarify once and for all that the man is/was a failure.
I note today that he has gone on the record and accused the Mahon Tribunal of "low life stuff" in relation to their treatment of Grainne Caruth.... Class that from a Head of State who has stood idly by as his 'cheerleader' Mary Harney has engaged in the destruction of our health service and the mistreatment or lack of access to same for any members of 'the people' that Bertie claims to have served so well...
See you down in Dublin Castle in May Citizen Bertie and looking forward to seeing your reaction and responses to the documents that the Tribunals legal team delivered to you on tuesday.

agree 100% Calcio. I lost all faith in Irish voters last time round. And the reaction I get from Pro-FF eejits is that "sure anyone would have done the same given the chance". What outrages me is the fact that this whole sorry episode has not brought him down in disgrace, it was triumphalant. I hope he sees the inside of a jail cell before his time runs out unlike his mentor Charles " sure didnt I give the aul ones a bus pass" Haughey

Sorry to bump this up, but I was very curious to see how Foot.ie voted in the last election, and dont you just know it FF was the most popular party!!!!!!! Where have all the FFs gone....................
About time we had a new poll I guess. I'll stick one up later.
Revisionism at its best!!!
I read through the first few pages if this thread and I don't no whether to laugh or cry or vomit.
Some of the explanations for FF are astounding and I find it stunning that normally intelligent people bought the claptrap. Eamon O Cuiv's performance on Vincent Browne on Tuesday was a prime example of the madness.
I was saying at the time to mates about their handling of our economy how corrupt and short-termist they were.
And I was right.
I could see the economy tanking in 2006 and made various attempts to take up one of those great (they're not great. New ideas are bad and intelligence is useless if someone else is there longer) public service jobs. Eventually got one and thankfully do due to the fact my old job longer exists!
But what scares me is that cult attitude of FF and their supporters and how they have no culpability for the state of the place. Then you look at the polls and excluding the bizarre baseless rise for Labour and the flattening of FG which are a lot to do with the quiet summer in which Kenny was subject to a failed putsch and Gilmore was talking his usual empty soundbite filled drivel.
Anyway, there are people out there that still want FF in power? My blood boils consistently when I think about it.
An election can't come soon enough.
