The only pollutant that they neglected to avoid was FF. When you look at their policies they make more sense than most of the rest - bar the Social Democrats.
Again, you donât like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Screeching about Blueshirts but getting upset by mentions of balaclavas.
By all means reference Bertie Aherneâs missing bank accounts, planning corruption of the big two parties or whatever from the not so distant past.
But donât be surprised if your dirty laundry is brought up. I personally put murder and apologists for murder into a worse column than the others but I guess everyone is different.
The Soc Dems are just another Democratic Left imo. Fair enough if youâre more left leaning, Iâm not. People voting for People Before Profit or the Soc Dems, more power to them.
Ah theyâre nothing like them. The Democratic Left was a crowd of communists that were so bereft of ideas that they kept changing their party name until they inevitably merged with Labour.
The Social Democrats rain with the follow ideals in 2016:
The partyâs manifesto for the 2016 general election listed commitments to âthree core areasâ:
Policies that support a healthy, inclusive and progressive society.
Policies that ensure a strong, stable and vibrant economy, and support Irelandâs SMEs with the same vigour thatâs applied to the multinational sector
Policies that make politics and government more transparent and responsive to public, rather than party need.
Youâd worry about the ability of any political party to make the hard choices required in government when they canât even agree on one person as leader. Theyâre the sort of âeveryone gets a gold medalâ money tree merchants that are best suited to permanent opposition, twitter and Fintan OâTooleâs wet dreams.
He probably needed to the relaxed and refreshed when he arrived so he could hit the ground running. At least it was only one ticket and he wasnât bringing the wife and kids along as well.
