    I've never seen such a government to limp from scandal to scandal so arrogantly all the while shouting about the economy...

    Here's the thing,the public don't care about how much profits large multinationals make,they care about health and housing
    Very well summed up, and promising the world this election which just came across as lying as none of that mattered the past few years.

    Local elections are just that local, no one is going to vote for some candidate from the other end of the county, theyll fix the potholes over there and not bother about mine, however in a national election that isn't the requirement.


    Oh Good Jesus.

    If the media had its way we wouldn't have voted for SF.

    That's down to the hard work of the average citizen.not government.

    The poll showed their vote share to be down.
    Turned out the poll was wrong.

    Because Paddy loves loads of empty promises and a few shillings thrown at him in an election budget. Bertie was king of both.

    These are the same people who think Apple owe us €12B.

    Clueless.

    Why won't SF go into government? MM stated today that he would not rule it out. Maybe they will get something done and not blame someone else if things go belly up. When building expenses triple and wages double, they can no longer point at someone else and say they wouldn't have made the mistake. SF have been on about change, now they have a chance to do it

    I've never seen such lukewarm response to potential and power and implementing "change" as here. It's almost as if they don't believe the manifesto their mandate is based on.

    You literally have no idea what a 3rd world health system looks like if you think that's what we have. Populist twaddle.

    Honestly not a fan but I thought he came across well in terms of being realistic about green policy and what might be possible rather than using the opportunity as a big lecture to us all.

    Small hole in your theory being that the media are so anti SF it’s laughable. FG and FF are just incredibly unlikeable. They come across as arrogant, smug, elitist and aloof which is why they’re getting the woodshed from the electorate.
