Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v3.0 (07/04/13 - 08/07/14)

Lady Chatterton · 2013-04-07 14:53:31

Tomorrow night, the Tonight with Vincent Browne programme will be broadcast from a brand new HD studio so it seems like a good time to start a new thread, the old thread had almost hit 10,000 posts anyway. The new HD studio will allow Vincent to invite an audience to participate in the show occasionally, he also promises…

That is a strange question. Someone on half a million a year, as against someone on €188 a week, discussing poverty. How is that for starters. There is many many more comparison's in relation to your question.

Sinead Ryan is really dismissive of the water meter protestors in a very bourgeois sort of way :mad:

She's still quite fanciable though

The next logical conclusion would be for Neary to be prosecuted and have his obscene pension taken away from him, but is that going to happen?

Is it fcuk.

Most non-aligned voters went for the govt. parties at the last election, believing they would bring us a new, transparent kind of politics. Yeah, right!
But people won't fall for that again.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"
Yes the Coalition of 48-51 was made up of smaller parties (but not independent individuals like Ming or Mick W.)
Next time, for FF and SF to make up a majority even with Independent support would mean at least a gain of 20 seats each (not going to happen) plus support of about 10 Independents. Realistically, the only sensible govt make-up would be a FG-FF Coalition, but having experienced both parties in the part few years, that's not going to either.
So it makes for an interesting post-election few weeks next time!

Noel Browne was the Ming or Wallace of his day.

Dr. Noel Browne was not an Independent TD in Costello's Inter-Party Government. He was a member of Sean McBride's 'Clann na Poblachta'

True, but he was still an unusual character for the time.

Oh and sorry, Dr. Noel Browne.

I thought the topic was whether it's worth voting in local elections?

This seems like the usual spiel between the parties

Louise Louise Louise - shouting will get you nowhere, seriously. Shouting about nothing will really get you nowhere.
