they do not care about people just power
Just let the civil servants at it, they’ve got this in hand.
wonder who they mainly voted for
The people didn’t vote for a government.
The bed sit ban has caused a lot of this problem. It served a purpose and a market segment.
But there’s a few easy enough combinations that could form comfortable governments. Fg and Sf would only be short a few seats if sf actually wanted to go into government.
Fine Gael and Fianna Fail have consistently made it very clear that they will not, under any circumstances, consider Sinn Fein as a potential coalition partner.
It’s more than a bit disingenuous of them to then criticise Sinn Fein for “not wanting to go into government” when those parties have made it very clear all along that they will absolutely refuse to consider any such arrangement, don’t you think?
Labour is refusing to go into government with FG or FF, both of whom most of its TDs don’t have any great ideological differences with, but I don’t see you criticising them.
Interesting.

Where would their polling cards have been sent to?

Not disingenuous at all. SF have consistently made it clear they won’t go into government with FF and FG. Exactly the same so. The only party who have want to govern is FG. It seems quite obvious that Enda Kenny would give a go on his wife to anyone who would help him become Taoiseach again. FF are being extremely coy. SF are adopting the Paisley stance. Which is ironic considering they worked with him in the North.
I’m a fan of compromise, and would like to see some of the heavily paid fucking cunt TD’s get together and try and make a government instead of hanging about the Dail like gangs at a kids disco.
With regard to labour, they are probably the only party with a clear mandate not to govern.
On a personal level, you managed to presume a whole lot about me and my beliefs based on a valid criticism of SF and an observation on maths. It seems you have a clear if very wrong opinion of what I think. It’s pretty lazy of you to just trot out the SF establishment lines. And it’s not very interesting.
you official IRA guys make me laugh, your hatred of the left is oozing from you & your love of the blueshirts is so evident.
Why not have a pop at your masters in FG for not wanting to go in with SF?

You mid/centre-left-hardlineleft-wannabes make me laugh. Why not organise a #Alwayssomeoneelsesfault parade? You’re good at them.
the reason official IRA did so badly at the polls was because they forgot their roots and cozied up to the centre right . It seems from your post is that the plan is to do the same in opposition
Connolly must be turning in his grave
So you say it’s “exactly the same”, but then immediately contradict yourself by describing how it isn’t. Thanks for that.
Several times a party has gone into government with a similar amount of seats to what Labour has now - the PDs in 1989 (6 seats) and 1997 (4 seats) and the Greens in 2007 (6 seats). Given that Labour now has 7 seats, that’s a bigger mandate to govern than any of those.
So, given that Labour has far less ideological differences with FG and FF than SF does, I think it’s a more than fair question to ask why you aren’t criticising them for abdicating responsibility by refusing to take part in any prospective government. Bearing in mind also that Aodhan O’Riordain has said that “your worst day in government is better than your best day in opposition”.
Strange. My post made no mention of Labour. And yet you justwant to talk about what the Labour party would do in opposition? Weird.
not strange at all. I can see why you would like to distant yourself from the workers party now but Im afraid your pre election bluster & pomp will stick around for a while and you will always be seen as a cheerleader for Joan

This is poor, even for you.
FG have said they won’t go into government with SF or FF
FF have said they won’t go into government with SF or FG
SF have said they won’t go into government with FF or FG
So yes the very same in that respect.
Where they differ
FG - standing outside the chipper with their cacks down begging lads to take them home.
FF- Sitting in the corner, licking a batter sausage on the sly, deciding who they’ll rape on the way home
SF- Sitting outside the chipper, down the road in a car with tinted windows drinking dodgy diesel, doing lines of vinegar, getting paranoid.
And for the purposes of @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy
Lab-walking home alone, tearfully, moaning ‘nobody understands me’…

An entertaining post even if it didn’t deal with my points.
And the Healy Raes own the chipper?

You don’t need a polling card to vote **
** I am unsure if this is true
At what address would their vote be registered to?*
*Genuine question
Their last permanent address they registered on the register of electors I assume
In America (God bless it) they respect homeless people and allow you to register where you sleep
People who are homeless may register to vote by using the location of where they sleep as their address. This could be a shelter, a friend’s place or outside. If it is outside, the voter should write a description of its location on line four of their voter registration application. For example, ‘in the NW corner of Jefferson Park near the intersection of Winston Ave. and Smith St.’
Correct. I voted without mine. It was sent to my old apartment which I no longer have access to.
I just arrived up to the polling station with my passport and they were fine with it.
I had been on the supplementary register previously but I got promoted to the full register this time unbeknownst to me until I tried to find the correct room to vote in.
