That's all predicated on the under 35s voting though, which is probably not going to be as high as everyone thinks.

I'm not trying to bait you or anything but what is it that you like about Murphy? I'm just back in Ireland after a lengthy spell abroad and the whole focus on the water protests by the socialist parties has really soured me to them given the other economic debacles going on at the time.

Cabinet posted:Why? The water charges are universally disliked by the people. It's a great way to get people to pay attention to their message. Like I said, water charges are largely inconsequential when taken in the context of them bolloxing up the economy, bailing out the banks etc etc etc. I see it largely as a distraction that panders to a lowest common denominator with no real consequence whether it's removed or not.

Greens have been dead since the last election. I have gone through all the candidates in my constituency and picked out my top three. SF, AAA and an Independent, probably not in that order. Still not sure about the SF one but she seems decent on paper. lemonadesweetheart fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Feb 22, 2016 |

It really looks like any smaller party that goes in with one of the big two, dies horribly in the subsequent election. I cant see that changing if it turns out to be Sinn Fein. Also gently caress you tipperary for lowry yet again.

Blut posted:It's all well and good to (correctly) disparage Labour's left credentials/actions since 2011 though, but in some constituencies the last seat this week was between an FF/FG candidate and a Labour candidate. In that scenario anyone who actually has left-leaning political views, regardless of party affiliation, should be hoping for a Labour win. I don't think anyone can doubt that both FG and FF are at the very least slightly to the right of Labour. And Labour have far more potential to swing back left than either of FF/FG. A vote for labour is a vote for FF or FG depending on who takes power and a lot of people are sick of it.

Quinntan posted:No, a vote for Labour is a vote for at least some of the left's policies to be enacted. There's no way in hell the gay marriage referendum goes through without Labour being involved, for example. Which part of the push for the referendum was specifically championed by Labour against Fine Gael exactly? Actually let me extend that further, what actual left policies where enacted purely based on Labours involvement in government that wouldn't have happened otherwise. lemonadesweetheart fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Feb 29, 2016 |

Blut, you're not going to convince anyone that Labour should get seats over FF or FG until Labour proves it can go into government and not just follow lock step whatever FF or FG want to do. You're absolutely right that it makes sense that people should do this but right now people don't see any real difference between a seat going Labour or a seat going FF or FG and they're not far wrong. This kick in the balls still hasn't registered properly with labour because they're still whining that they were just doing what was best for the country instead of sacking up and realising that the reason they only have 7 seats now is because of their last five years in government. Irish people are like goldfish so maybe next cycle you'll see the labour resurgence you seem to want.

Bedshaped posted:How is the whole "forming a government" thing going? It's still under negotiation with no real details. Most likely outcome is a FG minority government with FF as main opposition with some kind of agreement on how to get stuff passed agreed between the two. If it ends up as an impasse it'll go to a new general election but nobody elected will actually want that to happen.

There's talk about a rotation between them both but I can't see that working out. I think it's too early to predict but I can see Kenny taking it on again for however long this poo poo show lasts.

Kenny has been on the ropes for years now but I'm not sure FG remembers how to function without him. I think he'll last until the next general election in a few weeks time.

I think it'd be nice if they changed the tricolor and added a giant dirty orange man with a bowler hat in the middle holding up a big red ulster hand as a show of solidarity.

WeAreTheRomans posted:Yeah my missus will be doing this next year and it ain't cheap. It's also €350 a year for a GNIB card, and a wasted workday spent both of us queuing in the shithole GNIB office every year €350 a year for a GNIB card? what the gently caress? My wife does this too and it doesn't cost that much. Also be aware they changed the loving system without telling anyone and you have to register on some lovely broken website within ten weeks of your appointment that will likely result in you getting an appointment after the card expires with no way to actually get anything done to fix it. So happy days you don't have to queue from 6am in the morning any more but you may have your wife deported because GNIB doesn't know what the gently caress they are doing.

Okay that 300 euro thing was doing my head in so I went to their website and checked. If you're an Irish citizen and the person applying for the card is your spouse they are exempt the fee. There's a few other exemptions for refugees and stuff.
