I say thats the plan. The shinners will at best keep the same number of seats, fg and ff around the same +/-2. SF wont get the same level of votes particularly in working class areas.
Nothing will change maybe a ff sf government for a year and back to square one. Same policies same output of public service and same issues in housing and healthcare.
At this stage it wouldnāt surprise me if either or both of Coveney and Pascal donāt run in the next GE
An utter simpleton. An embarassment to be honest.
Looking forward to the next general election whenever it happens. Itās going to be extremely spiteful - cunts from FG having cuts at cunts from SF whoāll have a go at cunts from FF, The Greens, Labour and everyone else.
As an aside, there is such a general anger out there that we could have a politician(s) physically attacked on the campaign trail next time round. Not saying itās right but lots of people are fed up, the referendums are a symbol of the frustration out there.
That hefty Rabbitte lady in Galway getting cow dung thrown at her could be the least of it.
Covenay is overrated I think anyway. I donāt remember him achieving anything of note other than pushing back against journalists in Davos as he walked alongside Peter Sutherland a few years back.
The independents will be the kingmakers of the next dail
Iād say Harrisā heart is in the right place, but the jury is out if he could be taken seriously as the leader of a household not to mind a country.
Need an election.
Nope. But an economic downturn would focus a few minds.
Can you elaborate on how that would work ?
I suppose thatās half the problem. Simpletons deciding which simpleton to pick.
They need to start paying TDās way more. Salaries should be doubled.
Iād go along with that if we went for half the tds and doubled the pay
No, we need more politicians.
Getting rid of town councils was one of the worst political decisions of all time.
Meehawl for bringing in the smoking ban. Stood up against many internal dissenters
Didnāt he get rid of the health boards that they are now bringing back?
Thereās a low bar here for good health ministers. Smoking ban probably most significant policy in health since the 60s.
Local health boards were riddled with cronyism so probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
I think it was well flagged even at the time that unless there was massive redundancies after the mergers there would be no savings and a massive admin section doing nothing.
Those middle admin folks have basically crippled the health services. Itās impossible to get anything done with them
Heās probably the worst deputy leader Iāve ever seen in politics.
He did nothing for Varadkar.
