  1. Looking forward to SF getting into power and waving the magic wand !!!! not that FF/FG are doing any better at building houses.

    Tax incentives for Purchasers , thats how we build 90,000 houses in mid 2000.

  2. This is the main problem FFG have….ranting about the IRA has no impact on an electorate who are struggling to put a roof over their families heads, an electorate that must navigate a shockingly poor transportation system, an electorate sick of the bullying and intimidation of feral thugs on our streets and a police service/judicial system seemingly powerless to combat it, or a health system the mainstream media are telling us is on the brink of collapse…

  3. The past he’s referring to is the decades of British tabloid bullshit trying to align them with terrorists.

    What percentage of them are compromised by MI5 terrorists compared to Fine Gael?

  4. Here is my take on this.

    FFG have shown that they incapable, or unwilling, to fix certain major societal problems. Health and housing being the big obvious ones, but there are loads of other issues relating to infrastructure, transport and and environmental concerns.

    As a result of the above people are suffering, and people are dying and not in insignificant numbers either. FFG have demonstrated a proven track record in in managing the country in such a way that it harms a significant proportion of the population. When they talk about Sinn Fein’s past and connections to the IRA all I can think of is how FFGs mismanagement of health and housing has probably killed more people in the IRA ever did.

    Come the next election I won’t be voting Sinn Fein because they are Sinn Fein, I’ll be voting for them because they are the only party with the numbers to actually get FFG out of office and I feel that as a nation we need to send a message to FFG letting them know that if they don’t fix things we will turf them both out of office. If it was the Social Democrats or Labour who had the numbers I’d be voting for them instead.

  5. I’m politically agnostic, though there are going to be a lot of disappointments if/when SF do get into power.

    I understand the “give them a chance” rhetoric, though I seriously think they need to manage expectations, or more so, those voting need to manage their expectations.

  6. The sad truth about this picture is that you can’t legally erect a tent anywhere either. Its illegal to be poor and exist.

    FFG need to go even if nothing was to replace them, at least we wouldn’t have to listen to leaky leo’s lies.

  7. Lost German here. Could anyone please explain this to me? I know what Sinn Fein is but I don’t really get the cartoon.

  8. Funny how people think SF are on their side. They are a branch of the IRA, they don’t have any policy other than to serve their members. FG and FF are just shit political parties.

  9. SF have only had a run of it for a few terms nearly a century ago it’s only fair they get a turn now and besides with the state the country is in already how much worse could they make it. And that’s not even to mention how good of a party they were while they were in power

  10. Should I be concerned about FFG’s history of terrorism too? Even if it was half a century earlier

  11. The ira were terrorists, they tortured and murdered and ran protection rackets ..but that was in the past so who cares if SF want to recast it as justified or heroic or whatever

  12. we live in times where we have normalised not owning a home or no affordable renting way to much its absurd
