Who is Irelands most hated current politician?

augustus gloop

the fact that bastard bertie ahern is not in shackles boils my blood.

Mickey Dazzler

leave poor Bertie alone. Sure he was only trying to do his best.

Smidge

Cant believe Joan Burton isn't up there.

The whole lot of them should be on the list i.e. United Left Alliance!!

Pete M.

Callely gets my vote. Conniving little.....:mad:

Then it would be Shatter. Why I outta...:mad:

As for Joe, Clare and Ming, they're tops of my fav politicians :pac:

Thing is, I dislike Callely and Shatter because they have been directly involved in the ruination of our wee plot, while Higgins & Co. are doing what they can to challenge that. Fair do's I say.

You can't say Alan Shatter- thats anti-Semitic

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Has to be Bertie. Two faced arrogant corrupt mother****er.... if there is anyone who beats that, I wanna know who.

Richard Boyd Barret or Clare Kelly for me. Although Phil Hogan probably nationally

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?

It doesn't matter they started off employing violence before entering politics. You either want Sinn Fein in politics or they revert back to violence. Personally I prefer the first option.

Its time to move on people. I wouldn't vote for them for political reasons, mainly their almost communist economic policies.

Am I the only one who thinks he speaks like he's using one of those electrolarynx things?

I've developed a right dislike for self-satisfied, populist git Luke 'Ming' Flanagan.

Part of a rump of 'pay for nothing, expect everything' heads who sit up in that corner of the Dáil.

I would say Gerry Adams. Can we add him to the list OP?

xflyer

I chose B Ahern as did most of us I see. But Lowry, Callely, Cowen and a host of others deserve to be top of the list too. I can't believe that Kenny isn't more hated. He deserves to be but the slimy git is allowing his ministers and the Labour goons to take the hate. The new teflon Taoiseach.:mad:

For someone from Kildare she has one of the strongest Dub accents around

How did that happen?
Maybe it's put on, trying to be more local then the locals themselves

I hate them all. Where is that option?

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

I Do!

As far as I'm concerned you can lump adams, mcguinness, uvf boys and any other prick who stuck a gun in someone's face in with the above listed lot, no difference between them. Only a hypocrite says there is.

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)
Progressive Unionist Party (PUP)
Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV)
Ulster Unionist Party (UUP)
United Unionist Coalition (UUC)

North Kildare is effectively a modern version of a dublin plantation

On Daly, I like her. One of the best politicians for calling a spade a spade. also comes across as one of the most intelligent and honest politicians elected

All you've done is list every Unionist Party. Which elected members of the United Unionist Coalition do you hate? And for which reasons?

Don't you like Jim Allister?vHe's twice as clever as most Unionist politicians and I love listening to him make DUP morons like Edwin Poots squirm.

For all Paisley's bitterness, and the blood on his hands, he had a certain charm and I miss that from NI politics. I think Allister is the closest to what Paisley was.

I suppose it's very easy to highlight ineffectiveness from opposition. The only DUP front-bencher that I'd have any faith in is Nigel Dodds. The rest seem barely competent, like Poots or McCausland or else rage filled balls of hatred like Campbell or Wilson.

UUP seem to be spinning themselves to destruction. Mike Nesbitt has been charming so far but that is why he's been chosen. We all know the friendly newsreader, he has been in our living rooms for years.

PUP, I had a lot of time to listen to David Ervine and Billy Hutchinson and they seemed to say a lot of right things at the right time but, like Sinn Fein, I could not forgive them for their murders. Dawn Purvis is a pig in lipstick.

But I'd be interested to hear you elaborate on your post.

This is yet another politics thread fail and just shows that people don't care who they blame for recent failings as long as they can pin it on somebody, anybody. The absence of P. Flynn and Ray Burke, both of whom have been been proven corrupt, is surely evidence of my point. The Irish electorate is fundamentally stupid and fails to make the connexion between ethically questionable public reps such as Bertie and Lowry, both wildly popular despite their misdeeds being common knowledge, and poor standards and performance. "If he does right by me today I don't care if he's on the take" seems to be the attitude. Alternative attitudes are punished at the ballot box. A good example of this would be David Andrews who campaigned on cleaning up politics yet lost to Charlie H. In the 80s. I am sure a fair few of those swinging blindly at all politicians would fit nicely into this category. look at yourselves people. if we elect bent politicians we'll be rewarded with a bent and broken country. This blame all dem bastards attitude is pathetic and shows that people continue to pay no real attention to politics yet whine when it all goes wrong. trouble is 90% of the rabble doing the ranting would not be able to elaborate on why politicians x is deserving of such bile. Basically, if you ignore politics, politics will find you eventually. no amount of nonsensical ranting will change that. carry on swinging blindly guys.
sheesh, this is tough to write on a phone.
