Yet if we had an election in the morning they would be voted in again.
with any luck this presidential campaign has shown a lot of people that the government parties really have nothing to offer: no vision, no humanity, just attacks and smears and lies, all in the service of getting and keeping power.
these people clearly don’t care about irish society, about you or me. they care about themselves and about big business, and they care about stopping their political opponents through any mendacious and underhanded means necessary.
they’re liars and thieves.
The problem is obvious. People can’t tell one from another if there’s nothing to separate them there’s no reason to back one against the other. It’s difference which gets people engaged.
Good
Two sides of the same length of shite at this stage.
They are one party.
Surprise surprise
Here’s to hoping the support continues to decrease, still a good few years to go so hard to take this serious just yet.
Little surprise given how spectacularly their stroke with the Presidency has blown up in their faces. Martin and Harris should both go. But they wont.
Irish politics is in a bad way
Time to go right wing and hate the people being fucked over, pay no attention to those stealing the wealth of the state, this is the way.
At some stage people might realise polls years out from an election are totally pointless
Can’t wait for the country to vote them back into power for the next 100 years
Your local grubby parishpumper of an independent is the only thing keeping them afloat.
Until the next election and then business as usual.
It shouldnt be that surprising though, their combined total of first preferences in general elections has been trending down for years. The fact that they now consistently need to team up to form a government speaks volumes.
2002 – 64%
2007 – 68.9%
2011 – 53.5%
2016 – 49.8%
2020 – 43.1%
2024 – 42.7%
Can the two of them just become one party and stop pretending they dont have a grotesque alliance.
Final paragraph
> Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have together dominated Irish politics for almost a century. Now, with barely more than one in three voters opting for either party, at a time of plenty, some soul-searching may be needed.
At a time of plenty? For who? I could construed this to mean FF/FG that they are doing well while in government but the soul searching part meaning a budget with actual effects to the voters will have to come through, which I don’t see in four years.
Theres the housing crisis, cost of living crisis and the National Children’s Hospital to build if they can do that in four years it would save them but other than that I’m unsure
