    You think you have it bad now?

    It's the pensioners, the sick and the disabled who have it worst under FG,FF conservative rule.
    Give me an alternative.....please
    At least SF know how to get money out of banks instead of throwing money at them

    You wouldn't get anything done, can you imagine 166 independents all with their own agenda afraid to vote for anything that might make them look bad for fear they can't get elected next time out. Like it or loathe it we need the party system.

    Sinn Feint, the party that promises the south so much but has no problem doing what FG and Labour do up the North.

    And to cap it all today

    Senator Cait Keane stands up and comments on the recklessness of an x Greek minister for not having a helmet in the boot of his motorbike for his wife .

    I voted for this shit . What an idiot I was

    So who's with me , let's boycott FG next election . I don't care how bad the other crowd are , no one can be as bad as this shower .

    I think the feminists have lost the argument on gender quotas with these three stooges .
    Heard labour and FG talking about how they turned the country around and makes me mad, they done fuck all only lie and cut cut cut , its the people of Ireland who turned the country around

    To be perfectly honest, as yet I don't know. Because of the state of our country I don't think any of the electorate is going to be perfectly happy with anything politicians do in the next few year as we rebuild, I suppose I'll decide on who I think would do the worst job and work back from there.

    In regards to Sinn Fein, I'd love to hear from some of our Northern members as to how they think they are governing up there when it comes to economic matters.

    Northern Ireland total depend on Westminster for money. 93% of Northern Ireland's budget is a block grant from Westminster.

    It's a very different situation in the north.
    For example they get the NHS and bins collected for their property tax.
    We get "local services" or sweet FA.

    Sinn Fein opposed the introduction of the property tax down here, but at the same time property taxes in the North continued to rise, even in councils that the party controls. They have control over their welfare rates too, you better believe that they've kept them at the same rate as England, why not increase them?

    Down here they have been against all austerity measures but in the north they are part of the programme.
