This thread should be closed. It has become a dumping ground for anything related to insurance.

A 3 minute response. The bunker in Mount Street must be a hive of activity when the red light flashes on this thread

There are a few. Can't remember where the 'Fine Gael trying to get bums back on seats in the pub' one was, I think one of the Radio stations. That was good if anyone can pull it up.. Maybe a Cork or Galway local station iirc...

What has this to do with this thread? Nothing.

Gosh Paddy, You’re nothing if not consist.

As the saying goes, a leopard never changes his/her spots.

How You cannot see the link between swingate & the OP’s post is baffling to say the least.

I'd just like to say that Maria's 'testing the water for the comeback' idea, went really well

A big swing and a miss I guess

The last seat she sat on didn't end well for her

That's not her constituency.

Maria will be back in politics in some form or another though I'd imagine. Still has strong support in Dun Loaighre.

I don't think support was the issue....

More so... balance and trying to multitask at the same time..... was her ultimate downfall....

skimpydoo · 29-04-2021 11:18pm

Multitasking means having the ability to balance a few things. We all know balancing is not Maria's strong suit and caused her downfall.

Howd you figure that? The people I know from that neck of the woods arent fond of her.

Probably not the sorts that ever voted for her. Her voters are from the more well to do areas.

What an ignorant view.

On the contrary, I know 2 people who voted for her previously and now since Swinggate have no time for her.

Votes lost are votes lost Paddy.

Suckit · 30-04-2021 12:50am

Add to that she would likely be running as an independent against FG candidates, and they are very fond of telling everybody that an independent vote is a wasted vote.
Even if she has a massive group of friends and family, I would highly doubt that she will get in again.
I just searched her, and her twitter page came up. She is still flying the FG flag, she'll have to lose that running as an independent. On a side note, I can't imagine the local musician is over the moon with her plugging him..

Mind you, they do say any publicity is good publicity.

There is her slogan.

I represent the well to do who don’t care that I’m an ejit.

The type of constituents who wouldn't want an insurance chancer representing them in govt, possibly why she got the boot?

These voters in the well to do areas, would they by chance be business owners who see year on year increases in their public liability premiums due to chancers blaming their business for their own stupidity? Business owners who either have to spend a considerable amount of time dealing with these claims or require more staff to do so for them and as such, affecting their profits?

I’d say she kept the votes in the well to do areas alright.

FG's attitude and arrogance in a nutshell. They should make this a campaign slogan.

No wonder FG haemorrhaged support last time out, left poor old Leo waiting to see if he'd scrape through in his own constituency, made FF electable again (that one must really stick in their craw), as well as leaving SF within touching distance of a majority (or maybe that one)

Yup, vote FG! :rolleyes:

What an obnoxious retort Paddy. Didn’t think even You could stoop so low.

Typical arrogance by a FG’er.

So she'd only cater to them? Sounds like an awful 'public' representative.

beakerjoe · 30-04-2021 6:24pm

A post goes off in the thread about MB, Paddys in here quicker than Leo can leak a confidential document.

He makes a very ignorant comment, gets called out and hes like a fart in the wind.
