    And now here comes the wave of yahoo independents with their interchangeable principles as they dogwhistle out of both sides of their mouth. We’re told there supposedly is no alternative to FFG, but on the other hand…this seemingly is the alternative.

    What a shitshow this election is going to be.

    Nobody will vote for these muppets rest assured, most
    Irish people aren’t racist scumbags

    Prisons full, schools full, A&E full, can’t find a GP, can’t rent a house…but sure everything is grand.

    Before you say it, every government elected for the last 30 years has not invested in infrastructure.

  4. Independent Ireland could surprise a few people at the next election. By far right party standards in Ireland they actually have decent locally liked candidates, and not pure crazies.

    Most there members are ex FFG. They also done relatively well in the local elections. They won more seats in rural Ireland than anyone but the big 3 and labour.

    If a far right party is to actually make in roads it will be them.

    With FG loosing so many members due to retirement and seeming to become more Dublin centric since Kenny left there’s a real opportunity for them in rural Ireland.

  5. These guys will shock everyone come election day. Huge resentment in rural Ireland with everything and no real alternative to vote for. They should have chosen proper candidates, not gobshites like this lad.

  6. “Our country’s infrastructure is falling apart” – A politician whose job is to maintain our infrastructure.

  7. He quit over this remark? Or over allegedly being accused of having a role in a hotel being burnt down?
