General Election Thread

[astfgyl]

Nah, FG have been at the yank style stuff for years now. At least 2 elections, 3 including this one. Don't think anyone believes them though.

They said sf were doing trump stuff then by calling out the media. Pitiful.

Has there ever been a more uninspiring GE overall though? This one isn't even being talked about on the street. Mad really given the carry on of the current crowd

So FG came out with a hit video on SF. Is that the first time we've gone full US politics on it?

The fuckin state of that

Also 16bn that they "carefully saved up" - you mean the majority of which they spent our taxes on trying to repeatedly refuse?  The apple tax money they won't make a plan for so as to not be seen spending it?  Idiocy

[Carnage]

Pathetic, utterly pathetic.

You fuckin serious? OK so, tell me which part of current government policy you would like me to critique that I haven't already critiqued on this forum here and I'll have a good go at slaking your thirst for informed opinions.

Otherwise you must be fucking joking, being the very fella who can write a fucking treatise on aspects of policy in a country you don't even fuckin live in, based on ideology instead of the actual lived experience of the reality for working stooks who do live here getting poorer by the day in real life.

I only wish I'd had something to say when the French were having the election so I could have experienced you stroking your fucking pubes explaining to me about how I couldn't understand it because I'm not there.

So do go on and tell me which part of what you're saying doesn't come out of a fucking opinion machine like the cartoon you decided would best illustrate what I was saying. Where could you have gotten any of this first hand? Were you on fuckin holidays lately or something, or have you been reading things but not seen any of it?

I'd love to know, given you haven't actually experienced living here since whenever but think your opinion or indeed your attempt at belittling mine is worth publishing.

The reason the election is uninspiring is because the general public have resigned themselves to the fact that the result will be FF/FG/WHOEVER. Nothing will change at all and everyone knows it. There's no feeling in the air, there's no revolutionary or charismatic leader of anything to tie the general sentiment together. The opposition consists of the people's front of judea vs the judean people's front and a load of racist shite instead of actual decent policy on anything.

Go on, someone tell me why they are enthusiastic about any single candidate in their area and why.

There's fucking nothing.

You really need to do that count to 10 before replying thing dude    The Simpsons joke is about government being consistently bad, to the extent that generic critique always sounds topical. I was using it to joke that "given the carry on of the current crowd" is similarly a statement that would have sounded topical at almost any point in Irish history over the last X number of decades.

Ah sorry then, I was like a dog when I thought it was about me.

Woops.

I did look at it twice as well and all I could see was me getting called out for inane views.

Tbf it is inane because it's so ridiculously bad and wait fuck it has been the same thing said forever.

I think I'm just annoyed about how far wrong things have gone combined with the powerlessness to do anything about it because of the options available.

Maybe I was a bit of a cunt in the reply

Don't worry man, I only read the first line

That's the one.

Simon Harris is an insidious little cunt. His statement on the ICC issuing warrants today is fuckin disgusting.
Any clip I've seen of him canvassing is cuntish as well. He is condescending and passive aggressive about anything that isn't blowing smoke up his arse. Did someone say that he's never worked a real job?

[The Heretic]

So far we have only had 1 canvasser at the door for Sinn Fein, looks like no one gives a fuck!

[Carnage]

We had 3 the week the election was called (FF, FG & SF, thankfully all when we were out) and leaflets through the door from some far right crowd (we were there for that, but I heard them trying to get the flyers through the letterbox as quietly as possible). Nothing since. Nobody wants the election, nobody seems to be pushing it. The relative inactivity from FFG suggests their putsch deal is already made.

Yep it's a done deal and they don't want to handbag each other too much to rock it, have the election at the run up to Xmas when everyone is otherwise engaged and also caught up in the Trump circus as they sneak in the back toilet window to nail us to the wall with TV licence changes which they don't have to balls to do right now in case it costs them, cunts one and all!
