    It appears the FF voters are every bit as shy online as they are in most polls... unfortunately :/

    Way ahead of you. I've stuck money on FG most seats, and Leo being the Taoiseach after the election.

    Too obvious lad if you want to troll you have to be subtle.
    Although admitting you willingly voted Number 1 for someone who completely disrespected everyone that is dealing with autism demonstrates why people believe FG and their supporters are arrogant.

    You're a fantasist.

    Maybe I am, but I want and believe that FG will be returned to power.

    Not gonna happen unfortunately, people want change and it appears that 'change' is going to be FF...

    A stint in opposition will do them no harm though, I don't want a confidence & supply with FF.

    Let SF pony up this time out - if they have the seats and FF want to deal with the devil that is

    Jesus Christ. It was not offensive what she said. It was blown completely out of proportion and everyone knows the context in how she meant it.

    Also, heres proof of my bets. I'm not trolling!

    You're a FG superfan, great.

    In other news, i was reading today that various ministers seats are in jeopardy, including Charlie Flanagan, Eoghan Murphy, Paschal Donohoe and Simon Harris.

    Of course you're not trolling,lol. I wouldn't expect you to confirm it but your behaviour is obvious.
    What context does describing Leo as autistic fall under?

    Very unfortunate. I cannot understand people who vote FF. After the financial crisis, the bail out, IMF not to mention the unprecedented scale of corruption including Taoiseach Bertie Ahern who said he had no bank account when he was minister for Finance, Charlie Haughey, P Flynn, Liam Lawlor, FF have been in government for the vast majority of the existence of the Irish state and their legacy has been that of corruption, emigration, economic backwardness or boom and bust and yet people still vote for this shower of clowns.

    If pascal goes it will be a disaster. He's the best Finance minister in a long time

    It's a descriptive word. Autistic people have Autistic ways, and being socially awkward is one of them. Everyone knows what she meant, but chose not to

    Fair play you're sounding as obnoxious as Noone now. You're only 24 you may grow out if it. Noone unlikely.

    I went FG and Green. A coalition with those 2 would be my ideal outcome. I can't believe the economics of other parties and FF would be just embarrassing after their last time in Government.

    Actually Noonan did all the heavy lifting, Donohoe just slotted in after him.

    Green & Independents. I know FG/FF will get in again and nothing will change. I'm a public servant, so would never vote SF as their economic policy would probably result in my eventual lay off if they got into power.

    No idea what you comment is supposed to mean, but Noonan was happy for mortgage holders who were in difficulty to be thrown to the mercy of the vulture funds.

    It's gonna happen again, unfortunately. FF have the grey vote on lockdown and have for a long long time, they are always very generous when it comes to that section of society. Ditto with farmers.

    FG are the better party, despite their failings - but I've accepted that after 9 years people want to change things up. Probably won't be for the better but maybe, finally they'll realise that.

    Mortgage holders thrown to vulture funds??? Are you referring to the banks selling their loan books or vulture funds buying assets from nama at a fraction of their loan value?

    Rural Ireland is generally FF, there is almost nothing FF could do in some of these constituencies for people not to vote for them.

    They fixed the road ffs.

    Can I ask why people are voting green? Is it because mad Eamon said “our planet is on fire and we’re the fire brigade” or something similar

    FF 1, SF 2, we'll see how it goes, but as a lifelong FF voter I must say Micheal Martin's anti-SF bias is gratting with me

    Is it possible to find polling data for your local constituency? I'd like to see how the opinion polls look to see if i should vote tactically or just based purely on my own preference.


    I believe you should vote for whoever you think will get the least amount of votes...


    After all, we don't want any losers, just winners and runners up...
