This will be my first time voting and I have little interest in politics, so I'm trying to cram in every party's manifesto.
I do know I won't be voting FG though. Veronica Creighton's stuck in the 60's. Any party who doesn't believe every citizen in Ireland should have equal rights won't get my vote.
Fair play to you Lornen for getting out and taking an interest. I would agree wholeheartedly with you regarding FG's stance on issues of equality. FG are far and away the most socially conservative of all the main parties, closely followed by FF.
If you want to factor equality into your vote both Labour and The Greens have very strong track records on the subject and very forward looking policies for equality if they get into power.
One of the most shameful issues of inequality we have in Ireland is the lack of women in politics.
Ireland is ranked 85th internationally for female representation in parliament (13.9%) behind such countries as Zimbabwe, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Sudan & Cambodia. Sligo, the home of Constance Markiewicz (first woman elected to Dail Eireann) is lucky to have an excellent candidate for the next Dail - Susan O'Keeffe who will hopefully be a strong voice for Sligo within a party, Labour, which is part of the next Government.0 -

I don't know if you read any of my previous comments, but I did mention that I was pretty much clueless about politics and I am finding it hard to follow.
If you read any of my previous comments, you would have also picked up on the fact that I did infact confuse Lucinda's first name with Veronica but I corrected myself when another member commented on the mistake.
I hope you are less confused now.
Wow, this is really confusing. She said, you said, you thought she said, you don't know her name. Best of luck when voting -- this is why the slips have coloured pics -- ps Veronica looks a little like Miss Piggy but brunette, whereas Miss Creaton, looks a little like Miss Piggy but peroxide blonde.

Thank you everyone for the support.
I'm only a 15 minute run from the Project, so I took a nice jog down and voted! My votes should probably remain confidential to an extent, but I obviously voted for Labour and Independant's that had similar policies as Labour. I was told by several people that I should only vote for my top 3, but I gave a vote to each candidate. I think it was just as important for me to inform the government who I did not want in charge and who I did.
FG and FF got my 10, 11, 12 and 13
Good luck to everyone voting!
Alot of my friends aren't even bloody well registered, what a shame. But the friends closest to me are and they will be indeed voting!
I went through all of the candidates speeches last night on a website and I thought Marc MacSharry would have definitely got a high vote, he sounded more like an Independant than a member of the FF.0 -

Well done on your voting choices!
Whatever about choice of candidates which some others might not agree with, you absolutely did the right thing on voting 1 - 13. There's been a lot of debate on here in recent days about whether or not you should vote all the way down even if you really hate or are disgusted with the candidates near the bottom, I and others have argued that you absolutely should.
You cut through a lot of the more nuanced arguments about this topic very well there with what you said about letting it be known who you don't want in charge as much as who you do.0 -

I gave him number one and also had lumpy bet on him with Paddy Power - 8% interest rate over 24 hours brilliant. I couldn't give a Tuppeny who else gets in ---- oh err as long as FF win nothing in this seat - but of course that goes without saying - I just wonder how many of the FFers will actually turn up and stick the lifelong cause.0 -

It is a joke, completely. I was only saying it to my boss earlier, how everyone will moan and complain about the government. But half of the people b*tching are people who couldn't be bothered voting. Nothing annoys me more than people complaining about all of the trouble we are having, when given the opportunity to try and help remedy the situation, sit on their hole and do nothing.
There was absolutely no telling my friend. I was a little shocked and disappointed but who am I to tell anyone what to do? 0
