Waiting to VOTE
Jump to: Newest in thread
I have a vote in Donegal and tbh it's a choice between a finger in the jap's eye or a fist up my hole. I'm no fan of SF North or South. They're a protest party who'll get a protest vote. They're telling the electorate what they want to hear so (unfortunately) they're probably gonna do quite well today. |

I had a quick look at rentals in Dublin. I've no idea what the wages are like but around 1500 quid average for a house or even a room in a house is just insane.
That's 4 times my mortgage here. Yes. 4 times.
Good luck sorting that one Mary Lou!! |

the rents are chronic. And i see that ucd are now charging up to 1,000 a month for student accom. MY eldest is only 10 and she wants to do astro physics and its only available in dublin. thats the guts of 10 grand for one year and just for her accom for her to go to college. thank god we have started saving but we will still have 3 more to put through college |

I'm inclined to agree. Since the foundation of our state, its been a series of conservative governments, alternating between FF, or FG, or some minority supported form of them. The result has been crises in health, massive homelessness, the highest rents ever in our history. Wealth is increasingly concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, and the poverty increasing. Time for Left Wing change I think.
Let's get out and vote out. |

Yes I'm heading to the polling station soon. I intend to vote to the left, as we need a left of center government to begin undoing the years of failed social policy by FG & FF
Before you give your local FF candidate your number 1 vote, just remember this party were responsible for bailing out the wealthy bond-holders Rothschild's & Roccafellas during the 2010 banking crisis that bankrupted our country
And before you consider giving your local FG candidate your number 1 vote count consider this.
FG are basically a right wing party who couldn't give a rat's ass about ordinary people, they only serve the wealthiest members of society and the well scrubbed middle class. We've had years of their failed social policy. The homeless crisis- most of em are landlord's themselves who made a fortune charging exorbitant house rental prices. No social housing build for years.
A chronically underfunded health service, with very ill patients waiting on trolleys in understaffed A&E departments, while anyone with a minor medical problem who has private health insurance is ushered immediately to a comfortable private room.
Oh don't forget the Irish Water debacle, FG mis-used our road/Motor tax money to set up Irish water, with a view to selling the utility off to one of their billionaire pals in the near future.
Neither can I see myself voting SF, after the recent revelation of their Td's being answerable to the people who were active members of the provisional IRA. Anyway our local SF candidate is likely to lose his seat after a poor performance in the last Dail, I gave him my 1st preference vote the last time, as I thought he deserved a chance.
Not forgetting Labor- Pat Rabbit used the Labor party as a vehicle for his personal ambitions, and alienated it's rank n file grassroots supporters. So they face an immense task to regain their place as a credible left wing party.
Well that's my tuppence worth anyway... Don't forgot to vote- Our patriot dead sacrificed their lives so we could have a privilege denied to many. |

"It will be FF in power with a supply and scratch your back deal done by fg and labour.
This supply and demand deal done before is the worst thing to ever happen Irish democracy."
I really hope you are wrong ff destroyed this country just over 10 years ago..a vote for them is excusing all the pain and suffering they caused ..mass unemployment and depression..suicide rate rocketed..remember people never forget |

Why are we wasting our time voting? Honestly, there is never any change no matter who gets voted! It’s time to stand up for ourselves and take the power back and not vote for anyone! But that will never happen. House prices won’t change rentals will never change, people will sit in their homes and complain but nothing will get down. The homeless crisis will get worse! The council or government won’t do anything about it just put more obstacles in the way. I build container homes and I tried to donate it to every homeless charity and Council in Ireland and couldn’t even get a response and I wasn’t looking money for it!!! The people in charge should be ashamed of themselves. They don’t deserve a vote! Say what you want about trump but we need more people like him |

Any social housing that happens now will be rushed and ill thought out.
Like in Rush they were going to build a badly needed shopping/town area. It's to be changed to fit in as many social houses as possible.
This will leave the area still badly in need of a town center.
Things like this happened in Tallaght, carrickmines, Finglas and well, its a bad way to build. You get numbers on the paper but people are moved into areas where they have nothing local.
Lets not forget. The christian brothers/Catholic church offered land all over Dublin as payment for wrongdoing in the past. This was basically free land. The government could have build on, and had prime social housing for working people.
None, and I mean none of it was taken, it all ended up in private developers hands.
Thats FF and FG, you can hand them a free get out of jail card, and they will sell it to their friends.
How did the donnybrook laundrete end up in private hands with permission granted for 44 apartments?
There is a reason Ireland is indexed as corrupt as some african and south american countries. |

You make an excellent point. Plus, I agree with your take on SF housing policy from another thread too actually, but I'm still voting SF. For the first time, I might add. |

None of them are worthy of a vote that’s why I’m not voting. I’d rather get up and work and make a difference that way instead of depending on corrupt politicians |

I have exceptional shelves, solid walnut with hidden fixings. I did them myself and am proud as fook.
Thats how I feel about the shelving and it pales by comparison as to how proud I am to have voted SF |

"SF won't be in government as they don't even have enough candidates never mind get enough seats. FF supported by FG or vice versa. "
Yes they fucked up like Labour did back in the day. They could have been in pole position but you're probably right it will be FF/FG in one form or another. |

While not conclusive, there seems to be a shift in the voting pattern but also the young ones came out to vote and expressed their discontent of being fucked over again and again by ff and fg. We might end up with the same crooks but at least there's a fresh breeze. |

SF might not have had enough candidates in this election and people regurgitating what they have read in the news that they fucked up like labour back in the day.
Putting up reliable candidates is not something that can be done over night it takes time. No point running dopes that are just getting elected due to the party being popular now as they would sink it in the end.
People are looking for real change and not cronyism! |

Rather than dragging up something from years ago?
Yes, I agree.
Then again, if its something to do with a Sinn Fein member after they declared separation from the IRA, then it's a legitimate question.
Don't you agree? |

Time for a change absolutely. I just hope everyone who voted for SF, read in depth their manifestos and considered the entire economic effect. I somehow very much doubt that they did. |

Nothing is in the bag. SF do not have enough candidates to form a government on their own or form one with another smaller party. It's all still to play for yet. |
