Bertie and Sherlock are my top two. For sheer eejit-ry.

Ghost Buster

Reynolds
Flynn
haughy
Lawlor
O'Donoghue

Still Bertie I'm sure.

Of the current crop, for some reason I can't really explain, Mary Lou McDonald makes me want to eat my own face with rage everytime I see her.

I'm not sure if it's the shrill voice, the hysterical hypocrisy or the fact that she looks like the kind of mad oul one you see dragging out of her fella screaming "Leave him!!! He's not worth it!!!!" at 3am on a Saturday morning on O'Connell Street.

Big Phil Hogan

Most are beneath contempt.

Poll needs more Mary Lou.

That's the first time ever I think anything's needed more Mary Lou.

Where To

Suspicious lack of SF politicians on that list OP

Leaving the rightness or wrongness or the Tara motorway aside, I'll always despise Dick Roache for approving it in his last day of the job so that he didn't have to deal with the backlash himself.

Hating people will certainly fix our political problems.:(

Most of them have recently retired. Out of those currently there I'd say Shatter. The guy is just so slimy. He made his money out of the misery of others (divorcing couples). He is also the most arrogant politician. Phil Hogans problem is he opens his mouth.

Mary-lou is cause alone for a general election!

Edit: Nothing to do with politics (well!)......... just her annoying moaning voice and lack of brains, arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.

Lowry and Callely are two that make my blood boil.

Yeah you're right. But unintentional. Mary Lou, Adams, and Shatter should also be on there but I cant edit the poll now (Mod?)

I don't particularly like any of them!

The only one which I find genuinely hard to bare is Clare Daly, her grating voice and unpleasantness really bother me. I can't listen to her whenever she appears on TV or radio.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I'd imagine Ahern is. Personally I can't abide the Rabittee. He's smug obnoxious, abrasive and contrived. He also has excess fat on his face that makes him look like a revolting snagglepuss.

Is Bev still in it?

What about the rest of them?

starviewadams

Bertie Aherne
Charlie McCreevy
Mary Harney
Brian Cowen
Sean Sherlock
Enda Kenny
Eamon Gilmore
Leo Vradkar
Joan Burton
Phil Hogan.

Whoever was minister for transport during the celtic tiger days who decided to invest bollocks all in Dublin's public transport infrastructure too.

pawrick

wish I could choose more then one

Lawrence1895

Why is Richard Bruton not on the list?

LordSutch

No Shinners on the list?

Gerry Adams :mad: Mary Lou :mad: Pearse Doherty :mad:

mikemac1

Alan Shatter deserves to be on that poll

MetalDog

Gonna go with Septic Tank Phil - big, smelly and full of sh1t.

Sinn Fein is not in government, I would concentrate on those, who make balls out of the country, who impose laws and regulations and stuff. And as far as I know, you have to be in government to change laws, impose new taxes, water charges...

martin kelly.

Surprise Enda Kenny hasn't got more votes.

ejmaztec

Why's Jackie Healy-Whatshisface on the list? Surely he's gone past his hate-by date after retiring his gob at the last election.

chughes

Bertie and Ivor would be 2 strong candidates but as they are not current politicians, should they be on the poll?

As for the rest, I'm reminded of the old joke about politicians being like nappies. Both need to be changed often, usually for the same reason.

Yeah, but elected members of Sinn Fein have murdered, robbed and tortured. Surely that is more likely to evoke feelings of hatred rather than water meters. Especially from the victims and their families.

But to be fair to me, the OP didn't mention politicians being in Government, he just said politicians, which would include members of SF.

Right. And just to give me (as a German National) a short lesson in Irish history: The Blueshirts...ooops, Fine Gael...are some kind of charity organisation, which was never involved in any kind of violence throughout their history?

Let go of the past and move forward.. isn't that what people opposed to the Shinners and their cause usually say?

Bertie is a prize prick for sure.

But big Phil is really getting on everyones wick

I'm sure there have been throughout history but I am not sure whether any politicians from any other parties have been convicted of murder, planted bombs etc.

People have already stated on this thread that 'hate' is too strong a word but would you not agree that it wouldn't be unusual for Jerry McCabe's widow to 'hate' Martin Ferris?

This country is Bourne through violence. Do you have the same hate for Collins, Barry, Dev etc?

earlyevening

Where's Clare Daly on the list??

paddyandy

Terrible job ....would'nt do it ...for any money .

keano_afc

Lowry for me, purely because he's still in office and even meeting the guy has to be explained. His presence in the Dail is far more trouble than its worth and he should be turfed out. Mandate me arse, he is corrupt, dishonest and reprehensible and has no place in public life, never mind Dail Eireann.

The thread is about who is most hated. Not who each individual hates the most. While people may hate what Bertie did or Enda is doing, there would be few moved to consider murdering them.

But in relation to your point, are Collins, Barry and Dev sitting in any parliament at present?

Sean Sherlock.
