    Jesus christ do your own research and vote for who you want based on that.

    This generation of spoon fed little brats want everything decided and handed to them.
    Would you prefer
    1-Ok Boomer
    Or
    2-Old man yells at cloud picture
    Take your pick!

    Can people not make their own minds up anymore?

    Actually, don't answer that.

    The irony of people being afraid of artificial intelligence, when the populace itself has turned into uniform robots.

    Of course they can, chill out it's just a bit of fun.
    I do think this is a pretty confusing election though the debates of which there have been tonnes have mostly been a shambles which doesn't help. As usual most parties making crazy promises they are never going to keep.
    So you need to do your own digging really or look at parties or individuals past performances for the most part

    Do you ever sit down with your mates or colleagues and chat about politics. Forums are the online version of that. This is OP doing research.

    Figuring things out for yourself is the only freedom anyone really has.
    Use that freedom.
    Make up your own mind, Rico.

    How do you know who or what to vote for?

    Every time in the past I tried to inform myself and weigh up the pro's and con's of each party manifesto and that of the individual candidate in my area. To decide what might be best for my family and our future.

    This time I going to bring the dog for a walk the night before the election.

    Whomever owns the poster on the pole that the dog pisses against first gets my number one.

    Saves time and will probably bring about the exact same outcome.

    Aye, was better in the generation when people voted on the basis of a civil war and an Archbishop decided social policy

    What are your core values?

    If you know, then try going to https://ireland.isidewith.com/parties/fianna-fail/policies and see what parties share those values.

    the only ones not actively attempting to further inflate the welfare state, other than the pensioners buy off, is FG. Ill vote for that, before voting for working poor on FIFTY percent marginal tax rates, paying for luxury apartments in dundrum. While themselves living in kips!
    Remind me, who's been in Government for the last nine years?

    those who will do the most damage limitation on welfare increases... Or are you telling me, much to my delight, that there is another party I can vote for, that will resist these rises?
