    If Harris doesn’t go to the park this week I suspect his front bench will drag him there by his hair on Friday.

    Right lads in all fairness who the fuck is given additional support to these bellends that have needless to say done fuck all with investments and housing in the last 14 years in government. Am not saying vote Sinn Fein or right wing. Vote whoever aligns with you, but it baffles me that people want more of the same old turd.

  4. Unless people are happy with the current situation and actually get up of their arses and vote in the next election it’s just going to be 5 more years of the same!

    I would very much like a party that’s kind of like FF/FG but not actually them.

    Back a few years ago I thought this might be the Social Democrats but not now.

  6. Independents at 19%, will be interesting to see what crackerjacks we get if the locals are anything to go by!

    How does Mickey Martin still exist? He’s the best minister Fine Gael ever had.

  8. I genuinely can’t believe the gains FG made simply by getting rid of Varadkar.

    Like I can understand SF’s polling was unsustainable, they were picking up a lot of the anti-government vote, which isn’t actually a vote for them.

    What I don’t get is why the drop in SF’s vote wasn’t more evenly spread across all the parties, or even to the next anti-gov party.
