Yes.....

Was in DB earlier this evening, standing outside the SPAR with two other people and FIVE canvassers for FG walked past and not one stopped to talk to us...thought it was quite odd.

FF still polling at 15% here, roughly what they'll get in the general election! Ireland really is a country of religion and politics with a very blurry line between the two!

Not all voters of johng's ilk are compu-capable, so i would actualy expect the numbers to be higher!

I have been called many things in my time. But FF Voter?
That's down there with paedophile.

This will be my 10th general election, and NEVER, EVER, have I even considered voting FF

I'd sooner vote for Gerry Adams! And I don't say that lightly.

I meant your age JG

Stop back pedalling! Yah lyin sack a chyte.

[Danthefan]

Not sure who to vote for yet.

SF - definitely ruling them out
Greens - see above
FF - local TD is a really good guy who's helped us out in the past, but he's in FF
Labour - don't trust them to make the decisions needed to get us back on track at all. The thought of Joan Burton in a position of power is truly frightening
FG - Am leaning towards them but it feels like I'm basically voting for the FG/Lab coalition, and I don't want Labour in Govt
Ind - no decent ones in my constituency

I despair! No wonder the country is f**ked. You are voting for the people that have to run the WHOLE country - you are not voting for your county councilor here. Since Irish government is run by political PARTIES (even though the Constitution didn't envisage it), perhaps look at policies first and whether you'd like to have a pint with them second.

The most obvious reasons is that they knew you support the FFer's

Seasoned canvassers knows these things y'know

So he's not to like a guy who's helped out him and or his family in the past??

Odd because I though Politicians, be they local or national, where here to help and serve the public at large?

Oh no but he's an FF'er ergo he's not a good guy....what a load of tosh

FF's Barry Andrews poster in DL Dart station - "Andrews. A name you can trust"

siiiigggghhhhh

Get an indellible marker and add the footnote "... to really f%~k things up".

An alternative would be "...to deliver the childrens Referendum... not"

[Hickiefan]

Brave/stupid of a FFer to put 'trust' on a poster!

[sarah_lennon]

Its the moment you've all been waiting for

"Tomorrow we will publish our fiscal policy."

I expect all those saying Labour have no policies will read and critique

Andrews a name for liver salts.

Andrews: a name with no known achievements attached to it.

Andrews: I'll get your drive done by the council.

He can like him as much as pleases him. The point is that he shouldn't vote someone to the national parliament on the basis of sorting local issues. That's what the local elections and local councils are for.

If the FF candidate has some ideas for the national parliament and for solving national issues that Danthefan finds appealing then he should consider voting for him irrespective of party.

If a local guy can fix my potholes then I'd rather keep him concentrating on fixing potholes than on holes in the economy.

The county council is not supposed to be a training ground for the national parliament. It's supposed to be a place to focus on local issues so that national parliamentarians don't have to waste their time doing so.

Brave/stupid of a FFer to put 'trust' on a poster!

Not necessarily. Apart from being corrupt and inept, arrogance is a trait that stems from a sense of entitlement.

You'd swear I was out canvassing for FF or something

Well it's been a long time coming, I hope you are right and I'll be reading it with great interest, who knows it might even convince me to cross to the dark side!

but i doubt it

[sarah_lennon]

Well it's been a long time coming

Not really. They delivered a budget proposal before the budget. This is forming part of their election manifesto. All the parties will deliver the same.

Personally I think next year will be the worst of the recession by far especially if the "growth" forecasts are to be believed... austerity can only get you so far
