Who will be the next FG leader?

Thats as shocking as finding GAA fans in the audience for The Sunday Game.

We'll see what the exit polls say but FF & SF is a more likely scenario imo

Think this would be the best situation for FG. People would soon realise that Sinn Fein haven't got a magic wand to fix housing or health and they won't be able to cut taxes while spending more.

And you think they wont borrow to fund their socialist Nirvanna or re-election? Me thinks you underestimate them.

Yeh, be like FF 15 years ago and ruin the country

It's way too early to be ditching vradkar. I think he needs to accept some time in opposition though. Let FF and SF a crack at "fixing" health and housing.

Yes, let the good times roll...for abot 5 years and the inevitable collapse. People will then complain about stupid politicians, but 9 or less years after that they get collective amnesia and vote FF again or, for the shíts and giggles, vote SF - how could that go wrong.

what is it about coveney that has fg members worried about putting him front and centre

anything in his past or his familys past? one wonders.

Well would farmers, or indeed consumers, want Larry Goodman's nephew in law in charge ?

What makes you think the Irish electorate will suddenly start voting for a 'hardliner'?

But sooner or later they will cop on.

And especially if the lefty loons have their way.
Now of course the shinners spotted the changes in places in the West and seemed to have dropped their open borders.

But whoever gets in with or without sinn fein, will try counteract sinn fein by spending big on health and housing, and the only way to do that is to up taxes.
And that affects the real taxpaying workers, not the sinn fein working classes that pay shag all tax or none at all.

The smart move for FG is to ditch the luvvies at the top, who spend more and more of their time trying to be another Trudeau, and move to the right or even back to center.
Tough on crime, tough on the leeching entitlement classes, pro taxpayer, pro farmer, pro small business and pro-value for money in spending.
And that last one is definitely one they haven't delivered upon or even cared about when in power.

It is time they copped on that the career welfareists and low paid will always look to likes of sinn fein and never them.
Let FF chase that vote with sinn fein, PBP, Labour, etc

They might lose short term, but this country is facing recession and tough times.
We are massively in debt and an outside shock can shatter the economy.

Contrary to what some may think a tough Brexit hasn't gone away and the ramifications of that can be absolutely massive.
Also tax changes in US could have huge bearing on our FDI and all the social media chompers in the pay of those FDIs could suddenly face wake up calls.

A very smart operator, but would not be beloved by the Dublin media of course.

As for leader I don't rate most of the ones at the top.

I was delighted for the country and for FG when I thought that idiot wouldnt get re-elected! FG have very little credibility, but none with varadkar, he has to go. I and many of the people I know, that previously voted FG, will not do so again, until that fraud is removed as FG leader!

There have been calls already this morning for him to step down. Worst FG election result in the history of their party it was claimed on radio

what a surprise,nobody has berated that wiesel fraud more than me over the years on these forums! I think they need something new, somebody new, forget coveney, POD. The bloody irony that the only decent politicians they had in my opinion, lucinda creighton, they kicked her out!!!!

That picture is from a U.S. Republican GOP conference. Not very center left or right is it?

No, at a guess I'd say it was the controversial events he attended.



'Entirely inappropriate' - anger as Fine Gael Youth leader attends US right-wing conference

Bit of an awkward moment now that you seem to assume there's apparently something shocking about his features. Bit shallow tbh. :eek:

Typical blueshirt to immediately think of eugenics and that poor young lads appearance; there is alot to criticise him about without focusing on his appearance.
