People don't understand the Irish political system

Bee Free

I am taken aback by the amount of people here who complain that Varadkar isn't looking after the middle class while increasing the social welfare budget. Do you people not understand that FG are over 30 seats short of a majority? FG would love to slash income tax and bring in Tory style cuts to social welfare but FF and the rural independents would never allow it.

Sorry, they understand it completely, but either

(1) they want FF to be top dog, or
(2) they want even more money spent on welfare, so they want someone else in

All that brainstorming at FG HQ and this is the best they have come with it.

Until they publish that in their manifesto, they won't be seeing a majority anytime soon. Unless it's bull****, of course.

Take that to the Feedback Thread on FG bots.

I knew it was our fault. Even when it was politicians claiming for non existent "injuries" and civil servants buying printers that could print out a jumbo jet I knew it was our fault.

I don't understand politics, I don't know if it is because I am probably low IQ or if it is because I don't watch the news. I have no idea what the Northern Ireland election on 12th December is even for, I stopped voting anyway as I generally don't like humans and don't want to vote for people who wouldn't care less if I lived or died.

Posters referring to Varadkar as an unelected Taoiseach is usually a good indicator that the post can be ignored.

That's complete bullsh*t my friend.

Or can you show any record of Varadkar looking to change policy only to be scuttled by Lowry et. al?

It's not that what they do or don't do makes matters worse, it's that you don't know how it works silly billy
