"No you weren't" 

[The Heretic]

New Energy in being a cunt.

[Giggles]

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.

This sentence made me laugh out loud, several times. Thanks for that

"No you weren't" 

Wow, that was a badly handled interaction. Not even an attempt at fake sincerity, just straight in with a dismissal.

[Carnage]

He's all contrition today because of the backlash, wants to meet her and 'engage'. Damage limitation, it's Gordon Brown and the "awful woman". Sure the FG cult will excuse him for it all day.

"No you weren't" 

Sums them up, he knew well that wasn't going to be a good interaction from the get go so decided to double down on his "new" energy

[Trev]

He doesn't give a shite, same guy that threatened to fine nurses if they went on strike, oversaw the childrens hospital farce, scoliosis and cervical check scandals...I honestly can't fathom why anyone would vote FG and have another seven years of this cunt

[John Kimble]

Not saying that the older generation were any better (they weren't...look at the likes of Haughey, Aherne etc) but there's something extremely naive and privileged about this new generation of politicians. Harris and McEntee are both in politics since their very early twenties, and are still relatively young. If you look at their CVs, it seems they just went straight into politics from 3rd level and have no real world experience whatsoever. No experience of what it's like as a working man or woman to pay taxes, pay childcare, pay rent. Michael O'Leary drew a bit of criticism recently for saying there were too many teachers in the Dáil. Well, at least teachers have a bit of experience of working in the real world.
The future isn't bright with these lads at the helm.

What do we all think we'll end up with when all this is said and done?

I think we're going to get the two headed beast again tbh, but not with the greens

[Carnage]

FF/FG/Labour or the Independant party*, whatever they're called. For all their bluster, they back the government on every motion as it is, so that deal's probably been done for years.


*That's a fucking joke for a start.

[astfgyl]

I'm thinking labour myself but maybe the likes of the social Democrats or aontu might fill the prop up spot.

I am fairly sure I'll fill 2 boxes and they're independents but in the grand scheme of things it does feel like pissing into the wind

I think the greens will be fine, the people who vote for them would be pleased with the stuff they got through

[Carnage]

They'll keep a seat or two in and around south Dublin but I reckon they'll be wiped out elsewhere. All they've done is cost people money and nobody living in the real world can afford having them in government.

[astfgyl]

I said to the FF lad at the door that all the other problems would melt away if we had money in our pockets but they've fucked that up. He was inclined to agree but then again the shape-shifting cunt would have said anything

[The Butcher]

Greens will definitely not get 10 TDs this time out - more 1-4 max. Labour lucky to get 3-5, Aontu the same. Soc Dems I think will take a lot from people who used to vote Labour with some SF/Green vote. SF will do around the same, I think FG/FF will dip a bit and Indos/others to nab the rest.

FF/FG will try cobble together Greens+Indos, or Labour/Greens or Soc Dems/Indos.
