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

My point was in the north they get services for their payments.
Here you get nothing.

But a lot of those services are financed and governed by Westminster, my point is that the things that SF have power over they do nothing about, they harp on down here about austerity but in NI they are all for it. If they are voted in nothing will change for the good.

I hear what your saying. I'm not really a SF supporter but FF,FG and labour all have the bow to Europe and do as your told attitude. We need people who will at least negotiate better deals for Ireland. SF and independents are the only choice that I can see so far. As it stands here austerity is only for working and middle classes. That is very wrong.
If you have any suggestions before the next election please share them.

Sinn Fein have a mandate to support TORL - not sure I would vote for a party that would criminalise consensual between 2 adults.

Like I said I'm looking for alternatives. I look at my parents lives and see how they have been burdened with the mistakes of millionaires. This cannot continue and it will with FF,FG and labour. Those parties will all jump on the TORL bandwagon too.
I feel the gay marriage referendum was a distraction to water charges. Nothing more.

If Mick Wallace was in my neck of the woods I'd vote for him.
He's cool.

I have a lot of time for Mick Wallace - he also wrote this piece:

Presumably they can get worser.
Perhaps it is time to do A poll on EI, to find out ciients politics. Perhaps that way we could influence politicians of some party.

How many TD's have visited an escort? or looked at adult films in their hotel, paid by the taxpayer?
