General Election 2016

The saddest thing about tonight is it doesn’t which of the clowns we elect they’ll have to take it in the arse from EU no matter what. Merkel is our decision maker.

Ursula Halligan is torture.

I didn’t recognise Whelan he looked like a migrant quota panelist for a second there.

Mick Clifford is very good.

I beginning to hate this hannigan cunt

It’s gas the way the panel are bigging up Enda Kenny’s performance in a kind of “yes, he was shit, which we expected, but it could have gone even worse for him, so he’ll be happy”.

You’d think he was Westmeath playing Dublin in a Leinster final or something.

He’s the Taoiseach, for fuck’s sake. :smile:

If TFK has told us anything - it’s that online polls are open to abuse!

Irish Times poll - about 1,000 votes cast:

36% Martin
32% Adams
24% Kenny
8% Burton

Burton being slaughtered.

Enda should be in a B championship

Adams should have said, “Yeah, I was in the RA. What are you cunts gonna do about it?”

Tv3 social commentaters said nobody gave a position on the 8th amendment

Why are all the media crowd being so soft on Burton?

She’s a doddery old woman

They’re all from an establishment politics background. Pretty much all media commentators on politics in Ireland are. Most have been FF/FG/Labour party members at some stage.

Is it too late for @Juhniallio to jump ship? That was a disaster from Joan.

As a debate it was poor enough. Pat encouraged them to “jump in” at the start and that probably wasn’t necessary. They needed a stronger control and a couple of times the moderators just responded on scripted questions instead of picking up stupid points (like Burton’s HSE one).

You’d wonder alright, is he afraid of getting something thrown back at him?
Haven’t watched tonight by the by, but going by the thread here I can’t imagine too many voters would be swayed

The moderation was unbelievably bad. But not surprising to see TV3 suggest Kenny was brilliant.

The plank’s question of “Would you ring an ambulance or the cops if a woman told you she’d had an abortion?” was bizarre.
