General Election 2020 Part 2

I wouldnt trust any yon people in politics either

Based on some newspapers articles and tweets by ā€œpolitical insidersā€œ, thereā€™s some concern in FF and Ind circles about the impact on ā€œrural Irelandā€ if the Greens are in government. Iā€™m not sure what this is all about. The likes of the Examiner today and various Sunday papers yesterday were reporting that MicheĆ”l Martin was met with a lot of dissent on Friday in a parliamentary party zoom meeting. Several members that would usually have been supportive were critical of him such as Niall Collins.

I think so.

TBH I think it would be no harm. Pre-Covid manifestos, promises, plans etc are out the window now.

Clean slate and start again

Are you telling me that there are politicians within FF willing to stand up for their principles instead of going into government? Pigs donā€™t refuse a trough.
And what 3rd did party did they expect to partner with when they agreed to go in as FFG ?
Iā€™d imagine thatā€™s bullshit and bluster so they can hardball the green novices a bit and also tell constituents that they raised concerns.

Ignoring FG - what party did they think theyd be going in with back when they presumed theyā€™d get 50-60 seats?

Ah yeah, more Mammy O Rourkes is what we need

They wonā€™t stop us spraying our round up or spreading our shite or scutching our ditches.

FG & FF core cannot commit to that policy if itā€™s aimed directly at Agriculture.

FG have already signed up to this in Paris

Emissions at all time lows with cars, planes grounded. But still those cunts come after the watchmen of the greatest carbon trap of all, rural Ireland

Of course they did as Agriculture was the softest target pre Covid19.

The goalposts have since moved significantly.

This is the way of the future . Patchwork coalitions . The idea that government will be formed on ideology is fanciful . Dail arithmetic will decide future coalitions . Someone soon will have to take SF in to government and domesticate them

And also a huge emitter, the national herd. Up by about 40% in the last 5 years. Fg policy.

Who ever they wanted baby! Normal order was to be restored. Stationary shops were stocking up on brown envelopes again.

Tillage acreage down and predominantly planted back in grass which is the biggest carbon trap after Woodland you can have.

Dairy produce a huge sector both nationally & for export.

The Greens want us to stop producing beef, so the Brazilians can cut down some more of the Amazon to meet demand instead.

Irish beef probably the greenest form you can eat.

Greens too cowardly to try and mess with the Dairy farmer though.

Iā€™d have more admiration for the cunts if they went after needless air travel & really pushed a WFH change to ease Motor related emissions.

They should be pushing for massive investment in public transport. That would be popular with the masses and FFG could stomach it as well.

Eamon Ryan is an awful clown though. One car per village. :joy:

Greens too Yellow?

Eamonā€™s plan is to get all the rural folk to leave to the countryside and then he can release the wolves.
