Blowing up the likes of buildings and trains or whatever is easy, bringing company's into those building to create jobs and ensuring that trains run on time is hard as hell.

SF very well may at some point in the future get into power but they certainly won't last long, as we've seen already they only have a few TD's and they are already screwing us over claiming high print costs and other such nonsense.

Just wait till they really get access to the cashbox and they'll have a field day,

You can take that back to pulseresources. But tell Keith AFC we miss him when you're there. Now there was a troll that knew the meaning of the word subtlety.

SF cannot get the mature and wordly wise voter but it knows how to massage the naive and young .It does it quite well too and i'm afraid of them .It has always supported youth issues and steered very clear of law and order while harpin' on jobs instead .Again it does not want to annoy anybody under 25 .

I will. By wondering if your suggestion to others was something you didn't do yourself? Have you read their economic policies?

Burn the bondholders

Tax the rich

Tell the IMF to fcuk off

You try again.

Burning the bondholders, what exactly is wrong with this policy?

They don't say tax the rich, they say they want a fairer tax system.

As for "telling the IMF to **** off", again I have yet to find where exactly they say that in their actual econmic policies, not a sensationalist Irish times headline.

Try again.

Not ethnic cleansing at all. If I lived in a country where I was in a minority in wanting a particular set of rights/government/anything fcuking else I'd leave. Especially if what i wanted was available a short drive away.

Bollocks to all this about being driven out of your home, if you don't like somewhere, move!

The British govt were absolute twats to Catholics in the north for years. The clever ones left, the rest fought for "freedom". Guess which ones had the better lives?

Some run away, others stand their ground.

My grandfather swore he would never be driven from his homeland, he lived and died where he was born.

I'm sure your grandfather had a better life but luckily for him he had that choice, he wasn't constrained by honour and pride.

The indigenous people of any land should never be forced to move.

The country's fairly shagged as it is, to be honest all I can do is laugh at this of how fúcked we are. SF would provide a few years of laughter until people start voting for those with sense again.

I'm sure the wealthy minority in Ireland won't go running off to other countries with their sacks of euros over a 1% wealth tax.

Again it says in their policies they want a fairer tax system.

1 term is More than enough to destroy the country.

I heard Richard Bruton on Matt Cooper last week, that was good.

I haven't heard Enda on VB at all, some bull****e excuse he uses to avoid the hard questions.

And it is bull****e before anyone starts about suicide victims.

Yea, but not 'their' people, you know, the 'elite'...

My name is URL

Anyhoo, SF are a great opposition party. If nothing else, they divide opinion and that's healthy in a democracy imo. Interestingly enough, they're the only opposition party to have put forward alternative budgets over the last few years. Even in 2010, when FF were selling us all down the river, while FG and Labor only huffed & puffed from the sidelines, SF were the only ones to be bothered with coming up with what they seen as an alternative to where we were headed.

Hell, which other party has successfully fought against a governments refusal to exercise proper democratic process?

SF in opposition today, are in my view more effective than FG ever were during the reign of FF. And it has nothing to do with policies or pasts, if they had somewhat better policies and a perfect history they wouldn't be the main opposition party.. they'd be an incarnation of the Green Party.

Q.

Bombed in the south by whom?

If your suggesting Sinn Fein bombed him, as in the political party did, that's on par with me making the comparison that he shot the civilians in Derry :rolleyes:

May I also remind you that if it were not for Mountbattens relatives, and Govt's occupation of our country his death would not have occurred.

I don't condone his death btw, very much the opposite. Merely pointing out that people from both sides, directly involved in the troubles or not, got caught up in a war that only one side instigated.

Try living as a second class citizen, in a county that you could trace your relatives back for hundreds of years before you start sprouting your anti republican chants.

It seems a lot like you would sit back and do nothing if your home country was illegally occupied?

Some of us have the balls/had the balls to stand up and fight though.
