Do you find yourself on the left/center/right politically and do you subscribe to all expected opinions of your political tribe ?

Do you find nuances in some of them or disagree with some of the stances you might be expected to take ?

I'm left of centre.. FFG are a spent force but SF are an unknown quantity..any party that governs for the people rather than their party or vested interests I guess.

Living in Northern Ireland I have not even the slightest interest in politics.

We have tribal leaders not politicians and dummy spitting isn't an attractive feature.

I don't watch news as I lived the news for long enough and nothing surprises me anymore.

"I'm left of centre.. FFG are a spent force but SF are an unknown quantity..any party that governs for the people rather than their party or vested interests I guess. "

I have to say I voted SF in last election but do like some of the social democrats such as Holly Cairns. But at the same time how effective can they be in politics with getting things done.

Like in the states where progressive democrats have different views to corporate dems and republicans of course.

Regardless of that though..

Where do you diverge from where your alignment would suggest you would be on a particlar issue ?

Do you find yourself far left on certain issues. Center ledt on others . Center on some others but find as a label center left is closest ?

Thank you for your honesty. I must confess my knowledge on the north is not up to scratch to have an educated view on it

I would be left of centre generally but Ireland seems go have a mix of centerist and populist parties and I don't feel aligned with any of them.

No one issue.. The centre /centre right is a boys club.. The way they cowtail to banks and insurance companies for example is corrupt.. Pure and simple but then being a business owner I don't want to see SF in as they are a high taxation party to anyone on 40k or over.. Hard to call it.

Politically I think I'm probably right of centre mostly but I also fluctuate depending on the actual issue.

That's interesting to me that you find yourself being able to fluctuate .

May I ask do you have examples of where you fluctuate on the political spectrum ?

(I think it's a positive sign of independent thought being able to do so)

I'm not even sure fluctuate is the best way to describe it.

Take say the Justice I believe in harsher sentencing but also in the social interventions that need to be put in place to prevent people becoming offenders.

I'm probably not really even on the right of centre but I find that the parties on the left use far more populist propaganda so that really puts me off aligning myself to them

Truly believe that with all the information we have available nowadays, there’s not really an excuse for blind political loyalty any more.. we’re all human and we all make mistakes , and should be able to recognise this in the people who represent us too ..

Would consider myself a republican but only through the proper channels , never violence .. I think that’s a political position anyways

Definitely left of centre, but also think unemployment is a primary reason for social issues so need a functioning economy, and ours has got a lot better in the last 30 years.

I'd love if there was an effective left of centre option in Ireland but I don't see it just now. I still vote left (except sf), then my favored governmental option, then every independent and gobshite and other party except sf.

But we do have the same centre-ish party in power forever...basically.

Nothing except a local popularity contest, no real politics exposed except personal interests,the people who fought to free this country, nationalists and true republicans have no representation at the moment.

I'm not overly political at all really and would be right leaning on some stuff and left leaning on other. I'm flexible politically and would vote for whichever party is on my side when it comes to the biggest things on the agenda that affect me at the time. But right now I'm anti FF and FG purely because I do not like their politicians.

Problem is that Ireland so far has no proper left wing party of enough weight that could win an election and bring the substantial change needed.

Anyhow after 100 years of FFG cronyism, corruption and incompetence if I were Irish I would give anyone else a go but FFG or of course not extremists.

My politics would be hard left, Im historically a Shinner

From living abroad the last 15 years I dont know enough about the other left wing parties yet.

I would like to see a left wing coalition with Mary Lou as Taoiseach.

I get peoples issues with Sinn Fein but in fairness they are changing albeit not fast enough for some people.

FF & FG are just peddling the same shit they have for years and people keep voting for them and nothing changes.

The only other option is to run the lot of them and hire a company to run the country.

Forgetting the historical issues with SF. My main issue with them in the last 10 years is the populist drivel that their policies have been. They were never a realistic option because they would never be able to inact or pay for the majority of their claims.

I think that is changing they have some really savy people there now who are more suited to actual governing.

I'm not sure I'm at a point where I would vote for them yet but I'd give them alot more time and consideration than previously

I'm a member of a left wing party and would canvass weekly for them all year round, until the pandemic hit.

I don't necessarily agree with every single pronouncement from the party but there's no other party that would interest me. No party is any different and even within parliamentary groups in any party you'll find people who don't agree with everything their party is doing. I do agree with the direction the party has taken over the years though and the plan for the future.

Politics here is beyond frustrating. I do have an interest though and try to keep broadly up to speed. I was living away though for 13 years and it was a welcome break. I do vote but not orange/green. And I do have personal conflict because I am, at my core, a unionist insomuch as I support the union, however beyond that my beliefs & values align mostly with Alliance. I've not voted for any unionist MLA or MP since returning to Northern Ireland because there are too many issues that jar. Generally I'm a leftist but not hard left...sometimes I fluctuate between that and left of centre depending on the issue.

Ive always voted FG except when FF gave me loads of SSIA money for 5 years

I won't vote for them next time because I've realised over the last few years how unfair things are in this country if you're not wealthy

I've always said I'd never in a million years vote SF for their links to The IRA and I genuinely hate Mary Lou and before her Gerry Adams

However I expect people in NI to move on and they lived through all the troubles so if it's good enough for them shouldn't it be good enough for me

I don't mind paying extra in tax if its used for the common good so for the first time in my life I'm going to actually study the policies next time out

I used to be firmly entrenched on the left, considering all the communist political theory we were fed in college.

In the last year or so my politics has swung 180 degrees, now I’m definitely more right leaning on some issues but would still maintain a “liberal” attitude on many other issues.

I’ve learned that neither the left nor the right is a one-size fits all system.

Also reminded of that famous quote “if you are not a socialist at age twenty you have no heart, if you are not a conservative by age forty you have no head”

How do you think Apple were landed with a potential 13 billion tax bill? If you internally price your IP as a large amount of your value, and charge that cost to the business units, then wherever your IP is hosted creates most of the profit.

This is where we need to distinguish between multinationals that act like that versus the more manufacturing multinationals that actually keep hundreds of thousands of people in the country in jobs

If I could form a government tomorrow I'd like a left majority coalition say SF , PBP and FF. This would be a left leaning but mostly central. "

Completely agree with you, my friend

"Google tonight admitted to moving 75 billion in profit out of Ireland in a tax loophole in 2019 since closed down.

Thats just wrong .....I understand about companies employing thousands but when a government doesn't close loopholes like that you'd wonder why

"

I would guess its because corporation tax isn't everything. Keeping these businesses here generates a lot of income regardless. Income tax / VAT / PRSI etc plus generating wealth that is spent here which benefits Irish businesses and the economy as a whole.

Interesting topic. I would identify more with the right/conservative argument from a purely economic point of view. Biggest divergences are where the right aligns with religious organisations to create a pseudo authoritarian state. Traditionally this would mean criminilazation of homosexuality, abortion rights, and generally backward thinking that is largely behind us thankfully. Replacing the community that revolved around that is the biggest challenge. The right answer is rarely from one side or the other but somewhere in the middle.

The problem with the left like PBP, SD,SF ,, is they want to give everything away for free ,, like if you don't want to work then don't,but here's a house nd some money nd everyone else will pay for it ,, with them all the minorities are right they agree with them all from change your sex at 16 to taking the word mother off a birth cert ,, but they forget about us the working class people who pay for all this nd god forbid we earn to much nd try to better ourselves before we take care of the homeless,,, the truth is none of them care about us you know us the majority

I'm a working class parent of a trans child. There are working class amongst minority groups. Why should minority groups not have the same rights regardless of "class"? Should we not strive to help the homeless?

You will have to ask your government about rights nd class , what I'm saying is they have to stop ignoring the majority of the people in favour of what makes the cool Nd down with the kids ,,, like the word man ,, I'm a man nd i want to remain been called a man not a person a man ,,, as for trans i still think it should be left until you are over 18 for making any decisions

What has supporting minority rights got to do with being cool and down with the kids?

Incidentally, here in the North, you cannot access hormone treatment or surgery until adulthood has been reached, however there is much work to be done before that takes place and everyone should have access to and support with gender identity counselling regardless of age. Such things do not know class or age boundaries. I was referring directly to your example where you stated immediately after that you working class people are paying for all this. I don't see the correlation

Just to throw my opinionated 2 cents in... I don't see anything wrong at all with calling a person a person. If you're offended by that most general of terms then you've got some issues to work through.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a man or woman being called a person. The issue the previous poster was alluding to (if I interpreted correctly) is one of mandated language. An example of this grievance would be the growing use of the term 'cis' to denote someone whose gender identity matches that of their sex. This accounts for approx 99.4% of the population. Why must the majority change how they have identified for generations (even if it was sub-consciously) and accept this additional label to suit the 'inclusive' narrative?

This ongoing intersectionality only serves to reinforce stereotypes (gender or otherwise) and alienates those who it claims to be helping from the rest of the population.

Does it really make any difference in this country where you stand, we are basically a two party system with both parties two sides of the same coin. SF do offer an alternative but I feel they might not have enough competent people on board to run the show properly

Maybe not, but they have ample experience in running the country. Of course mistakes have been made along the way, by anyone in power. I would fear if SF got into power they would pursue their radical agenda without any of the political nous that is required to make a success of it.

I would say that it is inevitable they will get into power. As ought to be the case if they get a mandate from the electorate (which they didn't have last time). In a way, I hope it does happen... give anyone enough rope and they will hang themselves eventually. I think America have started down that road and we will see in 3-5 years the implications. I hope I'm wrong of course.

I dont think anyone is trying to mandate that anyone must change the way anyone describes themselves. It's more about having a bit of common decency and respecting how other people see themselves.

The only FF members of government who have experience of running the country have experience of running it into the ground the last time they were in government. FG experience relates to standing by and watching the housing crisis grow and grow.

It's not great experience in my opinion.
