Perché il governo irlandese è stato uno dei pochi al mondo ad essere rieletto quest’anno

Hang on! We’ll know in January (probably). Also with the Greens gone it’s not going to be the same government.

Better the devil you know.

I’d reckon that folks see all the nonsense that comes when countries flip flop left / right or republican / democrat or what ever version of parties that sit on opposite sides off what ever spectrum a country has.
The flip flopping always continues and the shite that comes with it is always visible.

Maybe our electorate are more savvy and just don’t want to deal with all the craic that comes with continuous changing of governments and leaders and so on. Look at america. Look at the UK too, how many PM’s since Cameron and they’re still wading through stagnation and cant seem to get out of it in any hurry.

Before you downvote me i’d love to hear your perspectives.

Amnesia, that was the worst government in the history of the sate as far as I’m concerned and I include the one that bankrupt the country and brought the Troika of economic terror to town in that forcing the youth to leave the country by cutting their dole rates and Noonan said it was a “lifestyle choice” and nationalising private banking debt instead of burning the bondholders, the USC and property tax is a permanent reminder of this,Ireland’s neutrality “up for debate”, the worst minister for justice of all time,”hate speech” laws, most expensive hospital in the world behind schedule, Harris “18 previous COVID viruses” Frank Spencer anyone?they closed the country down adding another 40 billion to our national debt for a dose of the sniffles, sham of a government, thankfully the green tax party are gone

Do you not know why it is the same? People vote for the individuals in there area, the person who has done them favors , Who they have voted for for years. They don’t vote for the party. the way the system is set up, the vote for the people who are active in their society, not the specific party, it is a contest of popularity. Also people have been taught to fill in all the numbers, but they dont know that that is what the larger parties want like FF and FG. They have been taught to do that, because the votes will always end up going to them. Also the hold the vote on a Friday, No one younger than 35 can or would be available to vote on a friday, Payday. Also I think its an absolute joke that the leader of Ireland can get in with only over 10,000 votes.

I would never vote for FF or FG, but ill tell you I felt bad not voting for Pat the Cope, he is a good man who has done alot, the party on the other hand and the policy’s should be out. Do you not see the conundrum there?

Thats a general you and not specifically at the poster of the article

Edit: People who are downvoting, Please explain where I am wrong, I want to learn more and If I am wrong I want to know it

I retract the “No one under 35” and now say they are less likely to vote on a Friday

59% turnout. That’s around 10% below the normal voting percentage….as many didn’t vote as the entire FFFG vote combined.

The wheels of change move slow here, but they are moving.

Oftentimes this is a good thing – it makes things stable and predictable. In this case though, infrastructure and housing are existential threats to our success as a country. We *need* to overhaul our planning system and undertake massive infrastructural and housebuilding projects, but there’s no stomach for that among the status quo parties. Their vote is shrinking and eventually the situation will become so dire that power will change hands to other parties, but I fear by then it will be too late and irreparable damage will have been done to our society.

This isn’t going to go down well but three major things.

One, economy is strong and people don’t want to risk it in the hands of an unknown entity.

Two, the quality of councilors in FFG is usually strong. We saw this in the local elections. Even if people are dissatisfied with the party, they may have had positive experience on local level influencing their vote.

Three, I feel that more conservative voters view other parties as idealistic, contrarian and antagonistic.

Lastly and this is a wild one, do you think that clare daly and mick wallace were seen as part of the left and were such an embarrassment that it has had an effect how people view an alternative to FFG? Like some auld lads imagine a left leaning government as 90 mick & clares going apeshit wearing pink polo shirts and burning american flags in the Dail. I said it was a wild one..
