    or

    A rainbow of half wits, lefties, liars (ok, they're all liars) lead by Sinn Fein.

    Take your pick from that lot!
    And was it the left that absolutely destroyed our country? was it the left that caused the tracker mortagage scandal that resulted in suicides and people losing their home because of the mistakes of banks, co-living, not building affordable homes, you must be thrilled with the right leading the country,

    It pains me to stick up for politicians the truth is all politicians can be as bad as each other regardless of their ideologue, we have no real choice, vote left or right it'll still be a mess.

    Come down off your high horse, I didn't suggest that 1 option was better than another, they're all shite in my opinion and as you stated in the end of your post they are all the same. Its a matter of picking the best of a bad lot, that's the choice most people will facing next month.

    Boring.

    Not nearly as interesting, nor important, as EOTM.

    I don`t know and it`s a horrific thing to happen to anyone. However unsurprisingly both FF and FG are using this to launch attacks on each other. If there was no election round the corner would any politician have made a comment? I seriously doubt it.
    The Truth is out there.

    Not too long ago martin said we must change the way we do politics. The system. Only thing I see changing is his power and wages. All the same now. Sf screwed the electorate IMO and Lou McDonald a traitor.

    Westside.

    I think it was very wrong to have Leo and Michael debating on Tv recently as if they were the only two options.

    I predict a sharp decline in support for FF and FG.
