General Election 2016

Believe what you want to believe.

the facts are there and the prosperity is there.

If you want to participate in the prosperity that would be great, if you don’t that’s your choice.

Yeah, yeah… Go back to trawling the net for supposed acts of terrorism you fool.

You’re a gas young lad.

A lovely man

Apart from Wallace, all other elected candidates used what they would deliver for Wexford as big parts of why they should be elected. It’s not a parochial or a local view, its holding them to account for what they promised.

Croppy, due to our wonderful system I still have a vote in Wexford and in Dublin.

This is why you’re a mug, you’re joining in with idiotic premise of allowing a member of the National Legislature to justify their election if they carry out the work of a Co Councillor.

It’s a completely parochial view as you’re saying ‘well they said that they’d bring this the to county and have they done it?’ having already voted for them to do so. Instead you should be asking did they help their party deliver on the promises that they made in their manifesto and did they contribute on the national level.

the commission :blush:

SF have always been left but it is hilarious to see FF swing towards the left in terms of policies and campaign. They really stand for nothing except getting elected.

These are my principles. If you don’t like them I have others.

Apart from Howlin I know that none of the other elected candidates did this which is why I’m defaulting to the local issues they promised. I’m not talking about filling potholes, I’m talking about revitalizing an economy in Wexford that has turned completely toxic with unemployment rates in some towns among the highest in the country. County Councillors are stone cold useless regarding this so its needs to be someone at a higher level who sorts this out.

Again you’re basing your vote on the local area and how elected representatives in the National Legislature, that are supposed to be looking out for the economy as a whole, are working for the benefit one one small section of it. Whether or not local politicians are up the the standard that you seem acceptable when it comes to this work should not be means for an educated person to completely miss the point when they’re voting in a general election.

You’re effectively asking/expecting your representative in Parliament to spend time working in an additional area in order for them to be awarded your vote. They’re already working full time on their governmental duties and yet you expect them to focus elsewhere so that your local area is ticking over the way that you want. Sadly most of them pander to idiots like you which is why we’ve have so much corruption over the years and have to deal with a legislature that is almost Draconian in its workings and elected representatives that haven’t a bull’s notion how to run a country.

Vote locally and for local benefits in the Local Elections.

Vote for Legislators and that will work for the good of the country based on their, or their party’s, policy and manifesto.

:laughing:

I am sure Kaiser Noonan places a lot of importance on some report by some bureaucrat in Europe

And his party is flooding the country with Muslim terrorists according to yourself.

That’s a clamping and a mugging off.

After labour influence is reduced following the election, Fine Gael will be have more flexibility in that area.

Towards the end of 2015, I questioned a Fianna Fáil TD (not a Limerick TD) about the number of migrants from Syria that we should let in to Ireland. His answer was “Unlimited”. At that point I made my mind up about which way to vote in the upcoming election.

When asked about what should be the rate of tax if FF were in govt, what would be the DIRT rate is FF were in govt, he said he could not give specifics as the party had not decided on those specifics yet.

FF are not yet in a position where one could consider to vote for them.

Of course he does - sure all the policies he implemented were devised by bureaucrats in Europe.
