I remember Leo calling for all the "wet pubs" to be opened, I bet you "didn't" though*

‘Wet pubs’ should be given a chance to reopen, Varadkar says

I am surprised that you didn't post the story about Enda meeting the man with the pint and pretend this meant that FG want the pubs open.

That Budget has done SF massive harm . Most of their new supporters have been looked after and it was a decent budget for the industries most effected by covid. Not a great one for myself I must admit but ill live with it, SF trying to do a bit of shouting but no one is listening. This pandemic has showed them up for the chancers they are.

But let you keep blaming the guys that creat 200k jobs for this country’s problems..

i challenge this idea that unemployed people all vote for SF and for no-one else - what a lazy attitude to have.

Unemployed people vote for all kinds of parties - unless you can show me some research that says otherwise

It was a giveaway budget when the rates are so low they could borrow. Everyone knows the payback has been shunted down the road.

Hopefully Sinn Fein will be given a very short go in government when the payback day comes. Like a rabbit caught in headlights, it will go splat very quickly, and that will be the end of it for evermore.

Payback usually is!
Maybe when and if we get SF in they won't pay it back, and maybe they'll even promise not to pay it back at some stage for a few votes!

Are you new to the country?

Did somebody sell you a life in Ireland based on the fact that it was run by fiscally competent giants or something? I advise doing some research on the work of those 'giants' over the last few decades. It's a real cliffhanger...oops sorry, 'over the cliff' story of boom and bust.

Well you didn't seem to recognise a giveaway budget so I just assumed a level.

No, just repeating the tripe I read on here. 'Fanboys' - Christ, would you ever go and grow up - then come back and have a debate.

Methinks you get your opinions FROM the media rather than your own head

depends of sweet F A. Unemployed people vote for various parties - they are not all one autonomous grouping, as much as those who dont like thinking like to believe they are

Think Pearse's angle last night was the priorities were wrong. He welcomed parts of it.

Chill BoH, it is widely regarded as a giveaway budget. The difficult ones are all ahead of us.

I've come up with a SF drinking game

Everytime they mention an All Ireland Approach, drink a shot.

Everytime 'missed opportunity' is mentioned, drink a shot.

When Pearse Doherty pronounces Fianna Fail funny in the Dail, drink a shot.

You might wanna stock up on the hooch for when Jim O'Callaghan relieves us all of Michael Martin. He was talking of the absurdity of partition and an all Ireland approach just tonight.
Drink aware!

Might be time for SF to change the record - even the all-day merchants over on the Journal comments section are getting sick of them.

The biggest party in the 32 counties has them rattled like never before.

RTÉ poll tonight showing over 60% of people are not happy.

Expect this thread to be full to try and deflect

What are they not happy with?
Genuine question BTW, I haven't seen the poll or don't know what it's about.

I am surprised that it isn't more.

If you are happy with the way the country is at the moment, you are probably out there spreading the virus.

Most people are stuck at home, in bad weather, cursing everything or are out there risking your life working in an essential service. An opinion poll at the moment will reflect that feeling rather than anything to do with voting in a general election.

Next election won't be for four years, no point getting excited about opinion polls now. We have seen posters on here getting overly excited about Leo falling 10% in a poll when he has gone from the completely unprecedented 75% to the unprecedented before he was there, 65%.
