So then we shouldn't have one then?
This is the sort of needless comment that males people frustrated and not involved with the process.
We need media demanding FF's head on a platter. That's all we need now.

I agree with Bruce Arnolds rant.. our government and the next are mere puppets of Europe and these guys in turn are acting on behalf of major bondholders interest (investment banks, large corporations etc..) Its a crime against the very idea of democracy and sadly we are now a debtor nation beholden to the invisible forces of the market..Election 2011 is irrelevant for the Irish public.

There are parties that oppose it, such as SF, People Before Profit, Socialist Party, Workers Party, and some random right wing party (ganley?) that'll pop up. There are always alternatives to vote for.
To be honest, it reads more of the FF voter mantra "sure they're all the same". Darcy was at the same yesterday - funny how he thinks the system is the problem and there's no point voting, now FF have ballsed things up. Imo this type of stuff is to disillusion people not to vote to prop up the FF vote - FF are relying on pensioners who always vote, so if you can minimise the other votes it increases their vote share and saves more seats.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
But I can't see how much decision making we have left (not that we ever had much in the first place)...Europe will pull the strings for the next few years...so the Dail is purely a conduit of Brussels so whichever party gets in..it surely wil kowtow to the piper that pays for the tune..so local in the context of irish political parties is merely window dressing for Europe and the markets..we never did have a say on issues when the country had more political independence..the decision making was in the domain of a "specialized class" with the unruly masses involved every five years or so and then completely shut of frommajor policy decision making...I suspect Fintan O'Toole will enunciate something similar on his website in the coming days..
welcome to western democracy. if you dont like it, do something proactive about it.
i believe in one man, one vote. i should be that one man with that one vote.
ALWAYS ON TOUR!
No, any new Government could pull the plug on the EU/IMF deal. If that's what people want, they can vote for the numerous parties that'll stand on that platform. Bottom line is vote - failure to do so means that FF seats will be saved, which is surely be worst of all worlds, if that's how you feel?

The government is acting in the best interest of the bond-holder. It is a disgrace and it's the tax payer who is footing the bill. What's worse is that the people have voted in this government.
The country needs a new party for the people.
The country needs a lobotomy.

To quote Dr. Hibbert, we need fire, and lots of it!
I have been watching some of the comments mates of mine have been making in emails and on bookface and it's astounding what people think. The amount of Gilmore is greater than Kenny bull I see is unreal. Every time I query their basis for it the answer is "I prefer Gilmore's policies" or "Kenny is slimy". I think it's the other way. Gilmore is the slimiest politician (excluding any FFer) in a long time. You can't pin him to anything. I hate that. At least you can disagree with Kenny if you want because more often than not you know what he stands for. that's what democracy is about.

They're both slimey, and neither can be tied down, sadly. I think I'd prefer non-commital to outright lies though.
Biffo said last night at a FF gathering in Donegal that he was offended that everyone thinks he lied, everyone thinks he's ruined the country. He's either a liar or incompetent, he can't be neither.
But he can be both. Which he is.

I think we are ruling out the genuine god complexes FF'ers have, especially Ministers. Watching Lenihan's disgraceful performance a couple of months ago on Prime Time when he refused to countenance any outcome other than his own prediction, and Cowen continuing to lie and let his lies spin, they refuse to be wrong because they're not. And of course they're right. The gombeens who voted them in are wrong, though I still cannot see FF being irrelevant after the next election, they'll be back in with Labour.
Fintan O'Toole admittedly writes and speaks piles of waffle, but it's hard to disagree with the majority of his newly-launched petition.
Ganley is gone. There will probably be just 4 parties in the Dail after it.Originally Posted by Macy
As bad a result for the country as 2007 was, it was a rollercoaster of a campaign with the outcome in doubt, right up until the week the coalition was formed. With no alternative on the table this time, it's not really a proper contest, as the outcome is already known, and there is only one possible government/Taoiseach as a result of it.

Does anyone think that FF will be gone for a generation? I still believe they have enough gobsheens in the country who will back them. Unless there is a specific Labour-FG pact before the election FF will be in the mix.
