general election vote

[Westsidex]

I am never voting again. My reason is twofold.

(1) i voted on Lisbon for NO but my vote was overturned and meant nothing.

(2) FF i think are in goverment too long and have become completely undemocratic and corrupt.
FG are just a lesser version of FF.
Labour had their chances and each time ,always prove that they are right wing.
SF in my mind screwed themselves when Adams refused to go into power with anyone besides i think their priorities lie in the North and while this is important ,i dont think SF can devout themselves enough to pull an economy out of a recession. The Greens are just that, green. They are the shadiest party since the PDs. Apart from a few indeps ,the others go to the opposite end too much.

I will tear the vote up,
Westside.

Has just looking at news there on rte website found this

"Galway West Fianna Fail TD Frank Fahey still has the most impressive property portfolio in the Dáil and he has declared properties at 18 locations including: Galway, Boston, France and Portugal."

So I looked up wiki about him and found this

"He was a school teacher before he entered politics. Fahey was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the February 1982 general election"

"The Irish Times reported in 2006, that in 1994, when Frank Fahey was a Senator, on a modest salary of £19,486 (€24,747), he became involved in establishing a hair and beauty salon business in Moscow involving an investment of over £200,000 (€254,000)."

"Fahey has assembled a very extensive property portfolio. Some are registered in his own name while others are held in partnership with relatives of associates These are located in his native Galway city and county, County Clare, Limerick, Dublin, France, Belgium, Portugal, the United States and Dubai. Fahey also owns or has shares in, shops and development land as well as six houses and 10 apartments in Ireland."


WTF

There should be an option there for "will have emigrated by the time the next election comes around" because that's what will happen me more than likely.
For the foreseeable future, there isn't going to be a government in this country that isn't led by either FF or FG and these parties are more or less the same. I voted Green the last time around, but then they jumped into bed with FF and have lost their way and their principles. What we badly need is a radical left wing government that will tax the shit out of the rich, put manners on the multinationals and give the two fingers to the bureaucrats in Brussels.

Who's the fucking Nazi that's decided to vote for the Immigration Control Platform?

[Rayden]

i cant understand why ppl continue to vote for the same parties again and again. Why dont ppl vote for a legit change in govt? I cant see the difference between FG and FF.

[espensen]

Numbers wise, how much of a majority does the govt hold now as regards seats?

here we go again?
Another bolshevik?
Whats you line of work?
Properly lost your job cause your lazy, most commies I meet in the workplace are lazy and incompetent.
and seem to have a chip on their shoulder with they boss. Anyone else notice this?
Where you going to emigrate. I hear they need mass grave diggers in North Korea.
Radical left is the last thing need???????????????

Please explain how the ICP is the same as 1930s National socailism in Germany
Your "leaders" won't debate immigration openly, the media won't report the facts and now according to the "radical left" We don't have a vote against and if we do we are NAZIS.
The "radical left" has killed far more people than Facism which was only a reaction to the rise
of the communism anyway.

Good man, when all else fails resort to personal insults and mudslinging. You don't have a clue who I am or what I do so quit speculating, but I can assure you that I am far from lazy and more than competent in my career. But of course if I'm unemployed and have left-wing views I must be a good-for-nothing sod. That the same kind of lazy stereotyping that the ICP engages in when talking about foreigners. Ditto for the Nazis and the Jews.

You need to open up your eyes and take a look at what's been happening in this country for the last fifteen years. Massive tax breaks for the wealthy property speculators, multinationals and business owners thanks to ten years of FF and the PDs. Then when the whole thing goes belly-up, it the ordinary Joe who has to pick up the tab through NAMA while the rich guys like Johnny Ronan and sundry multinationals bail out of the country. The government could have scrapped €700m worth of tax breaks in the last budget, but chose to hit ordinary people with cuts in basic services instead.

Throw up the 'facts' about immigration as you see them and I'll gladly debate you on this issue. You might want to run a spell check on your post first.
