Who are you going to vote for now?

FF

James Brown

The vast majority of "the electorate" are about as interested in this shabby little storm in a teacup as I am in who wins the women's world cup.

So I'm referring to the insignificant subset of the electorate who are venting their spleen on this thread, aka "the mob".

Incidentally your incessant need to categorise posters into either FG or non-FG is childish, tiresome and simplistic. Would you mind asking a grown up to change the record for you, as it is pretty clear that you are wholly incapable of doing it yourself.

All I see is people commenting on it and the only raised blood pressure from those trying to desperately distract from it. Funny actions for people who think it's a non story.
I think any story that shows up a politician or a party as hypocritical arrogant chancers is of interest to everyone, except the party in question.
Well TBF I'd have suspicions about any person being so obsessed with killing the story that keeps on swinging.

Disgraceful. You and your entire family should be excommunicated from the party.

Peter and Mary Taxpayer didn't like this story. Might have been the subject of a conversation over dinner a few weeks back. Cost FG votes no doubt, but still managed to gain a seat in the EU elections, and become the first party in a generation to increase their local representation while being in power. There's a 35%-40% of the population who think FG are doing a 'grand job'. Leo should have went to the country last November, but FF aren't exactly gunning for an election pre-Brexit. Realpolitik as the Germans say.



The increasingly hysteric stuff about withheld reports; some grand conspiracy involving half of the FG front bench, and the sudden lack of O'Brien money is the workings of an imaginative mind.

Another chap at pains to tell us to give up the ghost. Surely it would die of it's own volition if left lads?
The main issue here would be loss of any floating voters, you know, the swing vote

Funny, that boards polls ref the presidential campaign, gay marriage and divorce/abortion referendums pretty much mirrored the outcome of those elections to within a few percent.

Maybe you could point towards boards polls where any kind of majority indicated their desire for an outcome of either or from above?

Anyway.....

I see Flash, Losty and Spiceland have all shown up and posted in succession of one another telling us that it's all a big do about nothing, and people should have better things to concern them. Reminiscent of the three headless horsemen, unsure if they're secretly three pubescent teenage kids (the scat infatuations give me that haunch) or just redundant employees of the spin unit FF made leo dismantle.

The thing is, I think there's a thousand different things to do that's more constructive than literally post hundreds of witty banter style posts about doing jobbies in the jacks, but at the same time - don't feel the need to post in scat related threads and tell the lads in there that poo jokes stopped being funny soon after being legal age to do the lottery.

Maybe if they keep saying people stopped taking any interest in this case the Indo will stop publishing articles about it, it will stop trending on Twitter and Yates will stop having panels debating it a full five weeks after it first broke.

Perhaps the 3 amigos are right, everyone else is wrong, who knows.?

And if any of the above happen, maybe FG can salvage some of the credibility they lost as a party who want to stamp out insurance fraud.

In the meantime.

There's a big beige Jobby about to fly out of my bottom like a flock of baby swallows.

It is dead Matthew. Its only if interest to cranks and professional hobby horse riders.

This isn't a sort of Maurice McCabe moment. There's not some grand conspiracy that's going to be poured over in a tribunal.

What is the point you are trying to make? Rather than waste time on this sort of gibberish, just spell out what you really want to say,

I'm not in power. Furthermore, I don't wish to be. But I'm probably still going to end up giving a FG candidate my no.1 simply because the alternatives are so awful in my rural constituency. Unless of course the two wise virgins can find a decent candidate to run for the Soc Dems down here.

You're fooling no-one Paddy. No-one is buying the spin, the deflection, the obvious baiting anymore.

But by all means, continue..

Without seeing the ballot paper I find it hard to see how you've decided that the FG candidate will be the best of a bad bunch?

Pardon? Have posters here got an issue with saying what they mean? Why speak in riddles?

Sweet jeezus, I need therapy after thinking of them in Government.

I reckon this is indeed all over, and Bailey's career path is on track.

Only if people vote for her. That comes down to choices, who else is standing as much as Bailey’s own ‘electability’
She’ll probably get in if she stands

SCU flat out muddying the waters this evening it seems at FG HQ. Last few pages are a sight to behold.

It’s the Strategic Communications Unit here in FG HQ, Paddy. It’s an important unit where we reply to gombeens on places like boards and the journal. Cliona is working the night shift on twitter and Facebook. Got a nespresso machine during the week so things are looking up.

We’ve identified Johnny Dogs as a real ‘mover and shaker’ amongst the Irish message board community. 7 to 11 sort. His input is the type of ‘smoking gun’ we simply can’t deal with.

I don't anyone really believes you're a hired shill by FG, settle petal.

Yeah, fair enough they might have people within their ranks, absolutely dumb enough to basically admit insurance fraud, live on air.

But surely even they'd stop short at letting someone who claimed repeatedly to have committed electoral fraud to their benefit post "on their behalf" - and for anyone anywhere to give that same "paid shill" an ounce of creedance on the same site whatsoever.

Na "dude", just a stale act is all I'll chalk it down to. Get some rest son, tomorrow's another day.
