Pick Irelands new Government Now!

AckwelFoley

After reading many of the same posts on out elected government, the same government that the people have voted for time and again, i want to ask the vocal oppisition a simple few questions. The first question is simple, but what i want point out, if pick for example the green's, it means a greens overall majority, however unrealistic that may be, what i want to know is what party you think could do a better job running the country




1. What party do you believe would be a more successful government?

2. Are you over 18 and Registered to vote?

3. Did you vote in the last general election?

it's a nice diversionary tactic away from the threads on Bertie's difficulties, I'll give you that :eek: (the Boards equivalent of sending ministers out to fulminate against the costs of Mahon)

1. at the moment - FG. If PDs were bigger, then them.

2. Yes

3. No (away)

CerebralCortex

1. FG, Labour, Greens.

2.yes

3.yes

baztard

1. Greens

I think that what the OP wants is the single party that you think would be best in government, as a majority:

So:
PDs
Yes
Yes

PD Single Party government ?
They will need a fair few more seats or will Matta Harrie do it all by herself

Tommy T

In an ideal world PD's

Yes

Yes...

1. 1. A SF/lab coalition Cavan TD Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin as Taoisech
2. Yes
3. Have not voted in an Irish election yet but will for next local...

Now that labor dumped Pat Rabbitte and got trounced in their terrible coalition, perhaps they will help Sinn Fein to be an effective opposition to the corporate takeover of Ireland.

I've gotten to the stage where parties mean very little to me, I just voted for individuals, nothing to do with parties. Suppose a FG-led might shake things up a wee bit tho.
Yes
Yes - FG, SF, FF

Oh you know probably not as good as FFs sigh.

Colonel Sanders

1. FG led government, people seem to forget how successful the last rainbow coalition was

2. Yes

3. Yes (gave the 3 FG candidates 1-2-3 in my area)

PS I have absolutely no party allegance (apart from dispising everything FF stand for), I was voting to try minimise the chance of another FF led government

duggie-89

well it would be

1. SF (but possibly a SF/Lab)

2. Yes

3. No

well uits economic policy would e in the better interest of berties who simply "takes the advice of Building FRIENDS"

also the importance should be on substainable economy not the buck fast one Snyper.

bill_ashmount

1. PD's
2. Over 18 but not registered to vote.
3. Didn't vote in last election.

I usually abstain from voting because there is no party that comes close to representing my views. However if I thought Sinn Fein were going to be in control of this country i'd have to return to stop them. They are without doubt the most clueless party I've ever come across and that is saying something.

really why do you say that????

every political party has some idea of what it wants weather that is what you want or not is different. but your post was quite well ****ed up

You obv didnt watch the televised debate of the leaders before the election. Gerry was like a hound lost in the woods, clueless as to anything to do with economic development.

Sinn Fein are so far leftwing they make Russians look like capitalists.

Ok, now that we've established this, what ideas have they put forward to acheive a more sustainable economy.

russia is worst than america in that way.

well your mistaken i did and what i seen was gerry adams trying to explain that SF were in a process of renewing its views on the economy. something of a discussion i took part in.

well i cant post a link to any actually bill but i can say is that a large part of the SF party believe in home grown industries and not foreign multi-nationals for long term growth.

ie NOT shell and trying not to rely on the big US computer companies especially in the midlands. if they were to pull out what then?????

how long will this building boom last for and then what???

In a communist system, the government controls the production and distribution of goods.
In the United States, the economy is based on a capitalist model.

The govenment already supports homegrown enterprises, most of which dont need to compete with the larger multinationals

Your aguement is Non sequitur.

1. What party do you believe would be a more successful government?

Labour.

realistically, this country desperately needs a FG/Lab coalition as our next government and that is the government that i hope to see running this country by 2012 at the latest.

2. Are you over 18 and Registered to vote?

Yes and Yes

3. Did you vote in the last general election?

Yes

sadly conned into voting for the Green Party but thankfully i'll never vote for them again

The only credible opposition would be led by FG, so they get my vote. "Successful" government is a red herring. We need accountable government, not the incredible arrogance that's the hallmark of FF lately.

I've voted in every national, local, European and presidential election, as well as every referendum, that I've been able to for the last 20-odd years.
