FG:Will need an overall majority!

[YoungLiberal]

Get on the f***ing truck, FFailer!

I'm actually not a member of FF. But you're a serious weirdo.

And yer a servile grovelling moron, utterly in awe of a complete nutter in a shiny suit and a bad toupee, just because he tells you exactly what you want to hear while he steals your wallet right out in plain sight.

Not much can be done for bears of little brain and serious inferiority complexes like you, after the Revolution it'll be on the truck and off to the Soylent factory for you I'm afraid.

Dude, there is going to be no revolution.

The only people who talk about revolution are weirdos like yourself and digout.

In the real world there is absolutely no prospect of 'revolution'.

What. A. Freak.

[SideysGhost]

Of course there won't be a Revolution. And d'ye know why? Cos the country is mostly populated by servile grovelling crawling peasant morons, who are quite happy to be impoverished beaten and raped as long as they get an empty promise that by taking it then one day, if they keep the head down, say nuttin bout nuttin, don't rock the boat and respect their betters, that one day they might get a piece of the action too.

Nation of spineless degenerates.

Notwithstanding the fact that a revolution isn't actually a sensible or logical option and as much as I loathe to agree with your completely off balance self, the Irish population are particularly spineless and tend to sit on the fence with regard to anything remotely controversial and go with the majority on everything else. Particularly outside Dublin.

Labour should go to Sinn Fein rather than jumping into bed with Fine Gael at the next General's. At a local level co-operate between the parties has worked and has benefited the people that both represent.

I agree with you....FF and their banker/developer friends got our country into the mess we are now in and in tandem with FG are not prepared make the people who caused the mess and made the billions in the process pay the cost of recovery......We need and alternative now like never before and It is up to the Labour party to get their act together with SF to provide this alternative.....

Let the failed conservative parties of FF and FG unite and hopefully fade into the background and with a bit of luck stay there .....We need change and Labour and Sinn Fein can provide it....

I was just looking at their policies there and after looking at the the Vincent Browne Tonight Programme its seem to me that Fine Gael will need an overall majority to form the next Government.

The Labour Party wont do business with them unless FG move to the left with their programme for Government.

FF...It won't happen


So basically, FG need Barack Obama and not Enda Kenny.

They don't need Barack O'Bama, they just need to connect with the people at the same time they connect with the politics. Nothing wrong with a bit of popularism if it reflects what the people want. It is possible for FG to get an overall majority and surplant FF as the states largest party - but as FG have shown time and again, they are less than deft at interpreting the public mood or talking about what is important to them.

Right now FG could run a concerted public PR and information campaign laying out their vision for the future of Ireland. That is something FF could not hope to counter or match and Labour can't do. Instead though FG is going to squander what little airtime they get re-acting to Fianna Fail, hence continue reinforcing the public perception that they are second fiddle to Cowan & co. Gogerty telling Stagg to F**k off has gotten more airtime and generated more debate than anything FG have done since the Lisbon vote. Telling.

I think that as the economic situation aggravates the divide between the workers and the upper class, politics will become more divisive and in particular the policies of Labour and FG will diverge. This gives Labour an advantage because they lose less by dealing with FF than FG do.

The idea of FG getting an overall majority in the next GE is utter fantasy. Even now FG do not have the numbers in the polls for that, and this is probably the peak of their support. By the time the next GE rolls around the economy will be recovering and/or people will be more used to the dire situation we are in.

FF never got an overall majority when times were fantastic and they had stronger and more charismatic politicians than FG.

Tell you what, how about you explain HOW Fine Gael should go about this campaign?
