    prolonged general strikes usually work ...wrong time of year for that :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭Mark200


    Don't vote for them in the next election is usually the way it's done

    I doubt people actually know its possible to vote out a government. A lot of red tape but no coup of any sorts, just plain and simple paperwork.

    Yet, I would still prefer cruel and unusual treatment. :D

    we need to talk to Mary Robinson. She can use her super powers to claim our rights as humans are being affected and then she can tell on the government to the EU mammy and daddy!

    One creative chef, one New years eve party and i guarantee you they wouldint get off the pot for weeks. We could have a boards government, all we'd need is a couple of weeks

    Environment minsiter: Flutt, they have the gold plated loo's. Sure he will find a way to recycle it

    Minister for finance: Terry, 0 vat on alcohol

    Hmmm Taoiseach, and health minister..and the rest?

    Now to get a job at that party. :D

    I'm getting images of Mary Robinson, Kofi Annan and Jose Barroso dressed as Power Rangers fighting the evil Biffo and Captain Finance! Classic!

    If only an opposition party had taught of a catchy slogan like "It's time for change!" in time for the last GE.

    Here's a question who do you use to replace the Dail members?

    Sure it's great to hate the government but what alternative do you offer?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,418 ✭✭✭loobylou


    Vote no to Lisbon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,097 ✭✭✭Darragh29


    Ya know the way they want us to vote again on Lisbon because we have apparently "made a big mistake on Lisbon"??? Well we should tell them it wasn't the only big f*ckin' mistake we made last year and ask them for a General Election...


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,052 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Don't vote for anyone - we'll sort it out amongst ourselves.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    There is only one logical course of action... THUNDERDOME!!!

    You do realise Fine Gael campaigned for the treaty too, not just the present government
    Not sure about Labour.:confused:

    So if just about every party supported it, then why are you calling for an Election? Who is left to vote for?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 261 ✭✭ben bedlam


    The only way for this government will be to vote no to lisbon 2. After a second rejection, Cowen's credibility will be gone, and at the very least, he will be gone as taoiseach. However, there is a very good chance the government will topple.

    Pretty interesting ben bedlam
    If Lisbon 2 fails, I'd agree that Cowan will be gone for sure

    But will the government collapse ? I don't realy know :confused:

    Just extend their holidays to 365 days a year. Nearly there at the moment. The Dail winter break is only exceeded by the Australian parliament (their summer break :pac:).

    You'll see an early recall of the Dail when Dell start circling the wagons in early January. Best thing this government could do is subcontract the governance of the country to Jeremy Beadle. He'd be in a better position to run this country, and he's f*ckin' dead...

    165 bullets.

    Read it, liked it, dismissed it. Then thought about it and realized the merits of the statement. Nice idea! :D

    Or, pitchforks and flaming torches. :rolleyes::pac:

    Minister for sport: Me??? (Name)

    Taoiseach: Cloud. Or DeVore.

    Justice: Hhhmmm... If someone from the airsoft forum can get a picture of them with a moustache aiming a pistol at the camera, they win.

    The politician who did that was Minister for Defense, not Justice.
    Minister of Justice had nothing to do with it
