That's incredibly naive thinking.

I agree with you totally but me thinks this might be another example of their kite flying in a pre election budget… talk about bringing in something stupid and then row back and try and curry favour with the electorate…. They really do think ordinary voters will fall for this nonsense….. They are the greatest joke of a government that ever led the country….!

How so? The UK has minor influence in this region perhaps, less so since brexit, but nothing in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, South America or indeed North America. In their own heads they think they have a 'special relationship' with the USA, when in reality the USA treats them as the elderly father, listening to them talk and give advice, but not paying heed to it. I'll say again if it wasn't a nuclear power it would have zero influence altogether. eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 259 - 04/10/2024 10:44:28 2573010 Link 2 |
What do you think is behind the most recent election projections? link cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5122 - 04/10/2024 14:38:46 2573050 Link 0 |
Projecting a 14 seat majority for FF/FG. It's the economy stoopid. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1845 - 04/10/2024 15:53:44 2573063 Link 0 |
Yeah. . While I don't think they'll quite hit that number, I do think they'll lead the next government. For all the moaning and talks of various crises, people in Ireland, on the whole, don't have it as bad as some would want you to believe. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5122 - 04/10/2024 16:17:01 2573069 Link 0 |
Hard to see a 14 seat majority for them after giving people back what they've spent in tax. A few tighter votes in some constituencys could turn that. And a few weeks of increased carbon tax will hit their popularity with motorists. Harry has done some good work. More accurate projections than based on opinion polls. link GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7585 - 04/10/2024 16:56:58 2573074 Link 0 |
Bicycle shed costing €355,000, Security hut costing €1.4 million, Mobil phone pouches € 9 million, not to mention the new children's hospital that may not be finished until late 2025 or early 2026, costs spiraling out of control at 3 billion ish.

I think FF/FG would make a better next Gov without the Greens or a few independents helping them so I hope they get that majority, I think SF missed the boat last time and they have fallen away since that. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2971 - 04/10/2024 18:42:17 2573084 Link 0 |
