On Friday June 5th we'll all be given the opportunity to vote in our local elections. The opinion polls are predicting a swing away from the government parties as people "punish" FF for their supposed corruption and mishandling of the economy, but Irish people are notoriously apathetic when it comes to their politicians. No matter how far up our collective anus Brian Cowen's cock is, we still don't all agree that we're being fucked.

With that in mind, will we reeeeeally see a swing to the Left, or (God forbid) further Right on Friday? Will the Greens be utterly decimated? Will FF plummet into the pit of their lowest support in their history? Will the biggest gain be made by FG (more of the same allegedly) or Labour? And anyway, do local elections reeeeally matter?
