Yes, you did. You used the ' ' characters which using standard grammar is a quote.

So who was it you were quoting or were you just making it all up?

See my previous post.

You wouldn't be trying to deflect from FG's 4 point drop in 5 weeks would you?

Leo Varadkars leadership has seen SF go from an angry fringe party to viable govt leading candidate party. It’s some legacy he will be leaving us, meanwhile his party members will cheer him to the rooftops without question. Sounding more and more like Adams reign of the shinners by the day.

When we are being taxed to the hilt under a SF govt I know who I will be blaming.

Who?

I certainly know whom I will be blaming.

The jackasses who voted for them.

Suprised pbp and sf are that high actually.

Its quite worrying from a SF point of view if almost half their would-be voters are in the Anti-Vax camp.

This points to a vote that will easily stray to other groups once/if SF get into power and their populist messages no longer work as they will actually have to govern.

Nope, parsing posts previous to mine. I showed you how to quote actual posters.

I've just done it there and I wasn't quoting anybody in doing it

Yet, you came to the incorrect conclusion.

You made up a statement and attributed in general to posters, then denied you did this, when pushed.

He'll keep it up in the hope ofdeflecting from a 4% drop in 5 weeks. A bad result for FG.

People are free to vote for who they like. Varadkars leadership has made them electable. It’s like Democrats in America never questioning why someone like Trump can be appealing and as if they had nothing to do with it

Maintaining it isn't enough. He has to be one of the most - if not most - unlikable leaders of the past 100 years.

Not a bad result for the "the most - if not most - unlikable leaders of the past 100 years"
What would happen if Leo the kitten actually got people to like him?

Predictions of FG and Leo's demise are like buses at this stage in this forum.
We had the usual regulars proclaim that he would be both a) sacked and b) in jail...
Neither of which will happen. Social media tends to hype and amplify everything.
Every day is a new 'scandal' warranting some criminal prosecution.

It's all just anger and noise.

People don't realise how low FF/FG/Greens standards can go.

Data talks. Fine Gael seats...

2011 GE = 76
2016 GE = 50
2020 GE = 35

If you want to show "Data talks" then at least have the cop on to pull more than 3 years of elections.

Any sign of results from local elections as well? or what the other parties did?
Or maybe some poll from the time Leo took over etc?
Then you could claim data talks

The time they needed to partner with Fianna Fail? Hardly a banner day for Fine Gael.

Another spin merchant, this time from a complete rag of a paper. I'm sure this will make things better.

As I said, not surprised SF voters are nearly 50% anti-vax.

The female government TDs may be asked to get their kit off as a distraction.

FG basically being held in the lead by Leinster. In the other provinces they lag behind SF. What's the appeal in Leinster?

Speaking of percentages, this one is fascinating:

FG lost 54% of its seats in 9 years.

2011: 76 seats.
2020: 35 seats.

Dublin and Leinster,the largest number of T.D's and more than half the country's population

It's not including Dublin, but 'North Wicklow' is probably one area that skews that stats. It doesn't say if it's the greater Dublin area or just central Dublin.

Suckit

It probably should say 35 - 64

FG lead in Dublin, they're 36% in that Red C
Thats what I meant when I said Dublin and Leinster

Ah yeah, saw that. I thought you were referring to the tweet you posted.

Nobotty

Its all the Dublin constituencies combined
Thats very poor traction for an opposition with the mud available to sling
Its just not resonating in areas that matter a lot
The drawing board needs revisiting because I'm seeing shakey signs here
There are positives in those ages surveys
BUT and its a big but,I'd like to see the survey information for those groups in the country's most populous region and with headline FG support there of 40 and 36%,way ahead of others,you'd have to say what the **** and so much for the plenty mud available, its not working as well in those groups in leinster and Dublin when you're seeing FG grow
I'm not one for sugar coating

You got stats for that? Sounds made up.
You realise many who gave SF a vote aren't 'shinners' right?
