Unfortunately the reality is we are going to get a new government but not because the new one are better or deserve to get it for that matter but because FF are so bad they are the default second option, people will vote FG and the others not because they want to but because they don't want to vote FF...

shame we have no one to inspire us -
03-02-11, 10:25hornylimerickI don't want FF, or FG, LB, SF, GP, or anyone else but if i had to pick, which i do it would be labour they seem to be the best of a bad bunchQuote:

when we run out of cash in 12 months he thinks the bond markets will lend to us , well id say a better chance if u bought a lottery
ticket, id say result anarchy when we go to ATM and nothing there. Then Fine Gael were left red faced yesterday when it was
pointed out to them that the ratio betwen tax increases and cutbacks that they were promoting was not in actual fact the figures
they were really using. Another big problem is if we get a coalition of labour and fine gael they will be relatively equal in strenght
and their policys are poles apart so we will have a real power struggle between them and will prob end up with a watered down
version of policys that bear l;ittle resemblence to eithers policys of the moment -

I really do believe this will get much worse before it gets better,because alot of people had bits of saving help from
parents, friends etc but soon those options will have dried up and they will have no where else to turn -

I was thinking of going to Egypt. At least I'd get to be in a country where real political change is happening..........

We only have ourselves to blame for this mess........for three general elections in a row sufficient people voted for those who represented the most base get rich quick mentality and spun it out as the celtic economic miracle, so that they were able to implement their Galway-tent economic policies. The left, the hard left and the left overs of the armed struggle are unfortunately no longer the loony fringe of Irish politics........they're combined strenght equals that of FG and FF. Then we have the Laurel and Hardy of Irish politics.........Michael Lowry and Jackie Healy Rae. A horror novelist could'nt invent this shit.
Tis as well that Messers Chopra, Barroso, and yer man from Finland with the funny accent are now in charge of our macro economic affairs.
