Why would FG not be as cynical as FF were being mooted to be here the other day ā Let Martin get a budget off and pull plug if / when itās not going well or public perception is low ā¦ thereās a large floating vote out there that SF have for now but the margins between each party is so small, a little percentage swinging back would have them top dogs again.
If it was first past the post in the election just gone, SF would have nearly all TDs in the Dail.
How much did they cost? 40m?
Theyāll all need to be upgraded from Windows XP as well.

Iāll put them in contact with a lad so out out the licenses
They wouldnāt have elected anyone else in a first past the post system. Thereād still be the same number of seats, itād be just first preferneces and thatās it. Everyone of SFās 37 TDās would have been in the seats on first preferences and none of the 5 that werenāt elected would have been. They were involved in basically no marginal seat calls.
I donāt know. I think it is more than the hardcores. And that just goes to show why they lost a nice few seats in the election.
Smart man. Some people just arenāt cut out to be landlords
Because people want change and will punish any party that is seen standing in the way of change.
The jig is up, either support SF and whatever rabble they cobble together, or form a government and give the people what they want (whatever that is, does anyone actually know?).
Did you not answer that question at the start of your post?
Its change ok. CHANGE. its a five letter word. Just get it done.
I was one of the (un)lucky ones who actually got to vote on one. It felt wrong. It felt like sacrilege. It felt impersonal. It felt like getting a pint from an automated bar. But I wouldnāt change the experience, because the failure of the experiment then meant that the future of our incomparably brilliant paper ballot counted and recounted by hand over many hours election count system was assured for ever more.

No. Genuine question, what do you think the electorate want?
I suppose the only question is, is it worth keeping financially, if not get rid of it. Genuinely canāt see why anyone would even be talking about it. The tax rate seems fair enough to me. Iām an āaccidental landlordā whoās lucky he has a tracker rate. If I didnāt Iād sell it and take the hit. I donāt really see how anyone can whinge. The property market shouldnāt exist as a cash cow.

Thatās fine ā but your totally underestimating the ego in this. Most politicians will believe they can turn any situation around. Itās not as if FG are starting far off the othersā¦ they can spin it any which way they want.

The Indo think Sinn Fein will steal your house.
More houses to buy at affordable prices, cheaper rent, better return for our money in healthcare, lower insurance premiums, tougher sentencing for repeat offenders, a childcare system where you can actually get childcare. That kind of shit I guess.
