this will be a good election to lose with boris at the wheel across the water. brexit will do serious damage to the irish economy
That’s dreadful
The simpleton has mixed up the different start and end themes from Only Fools and Horses within one verse
My first thought was that it was you
My stuff is good though
As well as mixing up the different Only Fools and Horses themes, his attempted political message is all over the place and makes no sense at all
In some lines it looks like he’s pushing a Solidarity type message and in others it looks like his message is straight out of the Tory manifesto
As long as you think so mate
They’d nearly have to go this week so?
Fine Gael are on damage limitation tonight, even an apology from teaboy Harris to the INMO.
I’ll have to go way now and decide what politician is the least incompetent to get my vote. A tough task
New Taoiseach first assignment will be to meet Trump!!
It’s a task facing alot of us.
While I agree to an extent, who or what would be any better. The system is broken.
Any chance he’ll make an offer for the HSE
Fine Gael would be insane to go to the country now
They’ve had terrible press lately
If martin can get dirty and start throwing mud at leo and his ministers he could do damage . Murphy Harris and Flanagan are sitting ducks. He should be going to town on them . Donohue is another gobshite
I think the question isn’t whether FF et al can throw dirt. The question is whether voters will think they can do a better job. Voters might decide change for changes sake after 9 years but I still think to get a decisive win FF will need to convince that they are capable. Martin comes across as a decent enough politician but there might be concerns about the depth chart
To be honest FG are fully capable of pissing on their chips and don’t need FF to hurt them

I think there’s an essential difference in hubris between the UK and Irish electorates
Leo Varadkar would play well with a Tory type audience who are naturally hubristic
But we don’t really have that type of electorate
Except when Fianna Fail are in government, oddly enough
Electorates have certain DNA built in and that DNA generally comes to the surface in election campaigns
The Irish electorate is Fianna Fail DNA and that DNA is going to make its presence felt
A Fianna Fail Taoiseach can point to “achievements” and the electorate will say “I’m voting Bertie/Charlie etc.”
Kenny does the same thing and they pillory him and accuse him of being out of touch
The same will happen to Varadkar
It comes back to the perception of who is the natural party of government
In this country Fianna Fail is perceived as such, in Britain it’s the Tories
Different parties, different rules
And once FF are back in, that’s it for Fine Gael for a generation
I think the question isn’t whether FF et al can throw dirt. The question is whether voters will think they can do a better job.
What world do you live in? It’s all about the mud slinging
