I havenāt renewed my membership.
What was straw that broke camels back? There must be a lot of genuine SF supporters scratching their heads at direction party have gone. Doherty is one of most talented politicians in the DƔil. Maybe things would be different with him in charge?

Iāve consistently called out Mary Lou as not up to it but supported the party stillā¦ A mixture of realising that career party politics is counter productive, MLMDs uselessness and their stance during covid have all left me empty enough. As an alternative to FFG Iāll still probably vote themā¦ To me, FFG are lower than dog shit. Theyāre absolute vermin that have robbed and sold us out time and time againā¦ But, I get that no party would probably speak up during the last year, what with RTE brainwashing the nation and the same so called experts on TV every weekā¦ It would have been suicide in one way to go against 60% wanting tighter restrictionsā¦ But theyve offered nothing as an opposition. The cynic in me almost thinks they were happy to push things to the brink to see the country on its knees just to then lay into FFG. I canāt see how they could be so pro lockdown and people giving up their civil liberties and the guards being given additional powers so easily. Iām not sure what their end game is but MLMD is not up to standard.

Iām more and more of the view that all any of them really want is to be elected and beyond. that they donāt have a clue. They all ride the populism wave to appeal to whatever demographic they think they should and that gives them the most chance of a vote.
Maybe itās more obvious now but there are a lot of stupid people in high profile position in all the parties.
Iām against high taxes as i think it will be lumped into public sector pay inflation and not better public services. Beyond that I donāt really see a difference in any of them.
A universal income post Covid would be interesting and collapse all social welfare payments into that

I canāt believe how quiet many TDs have been. Weāve had to endure the longest lockdown in western societyā¦ Longest WFH around Europeā¦ And not a peep out of any of them. They actually gave themselves a pay riseā¦ Happy to hide behind covid and not face up to their other responsibilities. If people donāt see it now theyāll never see it.

We have far too many TDs as well. A wel funded citizen information service would do most of their jobs

Correct, they are all trained liars and many are sociopaths. A lot of it is genetic as they come from generations of liars. The ones on the extremes, both rightists and leftists, are also batshit crazy and actually believe utter nonsense.

Yer man saying we should stick to data instead of dates but our lads are doing neither
It has - especially single issue metric experts. A few economists and small business owners on NPHET might be usefully employed.
No Idea.

Yeah I see where you are coming from. SF should know well by now what lack of civil liberties look like and how the optics of an army assisting in imposing restrictions would be perceived. It is beyond naive. Michelle O Neill wanted help of British army back in January. That looks like a completely absurd notion now in retrospect. They have fed into hysteria and hoped to ride the wave of populism that is now ebbing slowly away. People Iām sure are grateful for supports and SF to their credit championed this but sooner or later people get restless and want to spread their wings again. I think they realise this and have let Shortfall, Murphy, Boyd Barrett and Kelly do a lot of the screeching. I wouldnāt vote for FFG either and instead would vote for an independent. It is effectively a protest vote and doesnāt make a blind bit of difference. I saw in latest party polls SF slipped a couple of points as did FF and FG but independents were up 5 or 6.
