Sorry if I jumped to the wrong conclusion but I assumed you voted SF? When I say someone who knows what they are doing I don't necessarily mean an established party.

.

I'd be aligned to them on certain issues but no party is 100% in line with my outlook. Btw I'd view SF as an Establishment party.

The founder refers to social mobility in the transport section of his manifesto. The guy genuinely thinks that social mobility has got something to do with transport. .....

If that's true I might just vote for him 'Idiot Savant No.1' This is starting to look more and more like a gigantic pisstake.

No solutions, no alternatives?

And you advocate voting for them?

no,i dont advocate voting for SF,especially since they had no viable alternatives..

But i would be interested in voting for someone else,other than Labour,FF,FG,Greens,SF,and ''independants(a lot are business sharks with second jobs only in it for status and extra wealth not the people a la mick wallace)there should be more political parties established,there should be more set up by ordinary people with the right intentions,and have members with political qualifications and the like..I suppose you can have all the qualifications sometimes all you need is the right instinct,over half the members of the dail have no political background other than their immediate membership of said organisation..Look at enda kenny he was a teacher in a past life..

Im sick of seeing the brown enveloping parties get in..

He done a walk to raise awarness for his party,do you know of anybody who has joined,or would you consider joining yourself?Do you think they could be a sucess?

Don't know anyone who has joined.
No would not consider joining myself.
No they will not be a success. He could join forces with Declan Ganley, they will have the english accent in common.

What we need is a party with an actual political ideology.

Maybe something like "The Irish Libertarian Party" or "The Libertarian Party of Ireland".

Not this ****e like "A Better Way", that's Fianna Fáil-esque. It doesn't actually mean anything, like "Soldier's of Destiny". It's not defined as to why they stand for. They could flip flop all they want. They could be left leaning one day, right leaning the next.

there are a lot of 'centerists' about though..

I couldn't consider voting for yet another party with an unprouncable name.

I can pronounce it perfectly, so perhaps the problem isn't with the name.

I might be more interested if the party name was written in a language that I understand.

Yeah, like Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin? In the cultural intolerance of the Irish haters (most of whom have close personal links to Britain), Irish people can't have Irish parties with Irish names now, it seems. :rolleyes:

Perhaps someone should tell this wannabe politician that Dail elections are also open to people from the UK, few of whom will be able to speak Klingon Gaelic Irish. Google Translate can only do so much ...

This is among the most stupid things ever written here. And that's saying something. Seriously retarded. Because British people move to Ireland the Irish should abandon Irish culture in order to facilitate them? In hindsight, 'retarded' doesn't do justice to your idea.

Didn't notice that myself, but since like most people my grasp of gaelish is so piss poor I also couldn't figure what it meant in English.

Just commenting on the fact that your post was a bit rich bearing in mind you are in the UK.
If that causes you a problem take it up with your local TD,oops sorry you don't have one, wrong country!

Rather, the UK is still in part of my country, just as it was occupying all of my country in 1922. The difference clearly eludes you, but given the rancid political and historical illiteracy which repeatedly marks your contributions on Irish and British-Irish topics, I can't say I'm surprised.

Where are people getting the impression that the party is rigth wing?

No I wont join or vote for him.

We need a party with some extreme views. Not racist or anything like that but currently we're voting for
Labour: Tax the workers to pay for those who don't
Fianna Fail: no idea of economics, large government, welfare state mixed with low taxes was always a recipe for disaster.
Lefties: Haven't a single economic policy that makes slight sense.
Sinners: Always a protest vote and never a real alternative
Fine Gael: Probably the most radical party. Promised a lot but haven't yet delivered. Abolish the senate, abolish the HSE, FÁS etc were all good ideas. The implementing of the household tax was done poorly, I'm saying that as someone who does agree with the tax, and promises are yet to be delivered on but it is still early doors in terms of that they still have 3.5 years left.

We have everything but a Free-market party. One that proposes huge privatisation, huge cuts, lower taxes etc. But also socially liberal.
Legalised cannibas and prostitution etc.
This is a party I'd vote for!

This entire thread seems like spam for Critten's endeavours and I wouldn't be surprised if Critten was the person behind it, given his behaviour on TheJournal.

The man spends all day, every day spamming the party he set up and is the sole member of on TheJournal, insisting that it is growing and refusing to answer questions about his background.

The last thing the country needs is another Brit telling its people what they should be doing with themselves. May he f**k off back to the shadows with the rest of the populist spouting gobsh*tes.

I think you're being overly generous in attributing their pathetic behaviour to a mental disorder to be honest. For the most part, they're a collaboration of work shy losers with massive senses of entitlement.

TheJournal themselves are worse though as they spoon feed them with completely vacuous, sensationalist nonsense that gets the locals there into a little frenzy all day, every day. Terrible journalism and articles being commented on by the dregs of society. It's no wonder they're failing to monetize it at all.

A. There's only about 6 commentators on thejournal. They just all go into repeat mode ad nauseum. Even on theScore sports section, you'll find some of the same names dropping in comments relating to anti-govt or the economy.

B. It truly is the refuge for the bottom 10%. It's been more encouraged under the new editor, who was some sort of columnist for one of the Indo suppliments in her previous existance. Under the previous editor there was less focus on rabble-rousing.

C. Yeah, I should have said pondlife rather than crazies.

Welcome to After Hours, Your Humourlessness.

When I saw that party name, I didn't see "Irish culture". I saw a bit of lowest-common-denominator pandering to the fashionable "more Irish than Irish" media crowd. You don't need to speak the Irish language to be Irish. English was good enough for James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.

As for this guy I can't see him becoming Ireland's next great leader and inspiring confidence in the people tbh ...

Yup, spot on. Same names appearing on every single article's comments spouting the same sh*te over and over.

Some use their own names too. The welfare office would do well to look them up as it's a pretty blatant abuse of the jobseekers benefit.

B. It truly is the refuge for the bottom 10%. It's been more encouraged under the new editor, who was some sort of columnist for one of the Indo suppliments in her previous existance. Under the previous editor there was less focus on rabble-rousing.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I remember a while ago it was a decent read but now it's just consistently sensationalist and puts a pro-SF or anti-Government, anti-EU spin on every little bit of news it can get its hands on.

There are many occasions when even the local ranter and ravers question just how much bullsh*ttery is put into the article and the author is quick to jump in and point the finger at the editor.

C. Yeah, I should have said pondlife rather than crazies.

I prefer the term 'oxygen thieves' myself

And right on cue... more guff on thejournal from Mr Critten :rolleyes:
