General Election 2016

Care to flesh out the holes in their policies mate or are you afraid of your life of trying to articulate that?

Try reading it for yourself. :wink:

You’re the one who can’t back up your assertions.

Empty vessel.

So the ESRI were lying when they said we were on the low side of the european average

SF were supported when they put the gun down. SF, include Gerry Adams, electoral performance was patchy before the GFA.

The IRA were supported when they had their guns up.

What frustrates the fuck out of me is there is no viable alternative to the establishment.

Are the AAA etc so fucking stupid that can’t see that the majority of voters next Friday aren’t going to risk everything their mortgages etc on a shower of fuckers that don’t have any policies other then abolishing this and that. Where is the offset income going to come from? Tax the rich blah blah blah, the fucking elite wealthy aren’t even Irish domiciled.

You can’t touch the Multinationals that would be political suicide, there is very little room for maneuver for whoever gets in.

The numbers don’t add up for any of the fuckers including FG.

You dont recall the economic crisis that the neo liberals brought us?you think a shift to a more compassionate society will fuck us up? What radical policies are you so scared of

That’s surely a wind up, the fucking ESRI are you serious?

Bluffing well paid cunts is all they are.

You dont think they could work out the average income tax across the eu?

What I’m personally afraid of is the clarity around policies.

What are the they exactly, give me one even?? Because no one seems to be able to articulate them.

You are persisting with this line about no proposals but I think you just aren’t familiar with any of the manifestos. Of course the two historic big parties FF and FG/Labour have a track record of abandoning those promises once they get to government but there are costed proposals. And for once I think they’re broadly clear (though there are doubts about how realistic the USC changes from the FF FG/Labour are).

what a dick head

The election results from 83, 87 and 92 tell a different story. The Nationalist community had the chance to give their outright support to Sinn Fein, they voted for the SDLP in larger numbers. At a rate of well over 2:1 in 1992 for example.

there is no war

The reality is Fine Gael want to continue to screw low earners by increasing taxes on low earners and lowering them for high earners.

They want to lower the PRSI threshold thus cancelling out any miniscule benefit to low earners from the abolition of the USC. On the other hand, the abolition of the USC and a 5% levy on income above 100k actually decreases substantially the amount of tax paid by high earners.

That’s a clear ideological ploy to redistribute wealth upwards.

Oh Christ, Tim fresh from arguing he wants to talk about the here and now is trying to construct an argument on SF popularity based on the 1980s.

Some people will never see the good in SF and that’s perfectly fine. Others will pretend they’re not popular and have nothing to say. They’re just deluded I’m afraid.

I’m not a FG voter mate, I agree with your post there but you never answered my earlier questions re the lefts policies?

:rollseyes:
