Fianna Fail and Other Par-tees

Politics in Ireland — Mon, 28 May 2007 09:59:34 +0000

It looks like Bertie Ahern is going to remain Taoiseach, a notion which for me holds more dreads than a voodoo hairdresser. At least Fianna Fail didn’t get an overall fuckyouall majority, though. This means that there will be someone in government with them to temper them and such, which in itself is a notion Mary Hanifin isn’t too fond of... Continue reading »

Sinn Féin: What went wrong?

Politics in Ireland — Sat, 26 May 2007 13:30:21 +0000

I wanted to wait until all the results were in before I posted about the outcome, and the outcome for Sinn Féin was not good! We are left in a situation were instead of doubling our number of TD’s, as we expected, we are going into the 30th Dáil with one less TD. The loss of Seán Crowe in Dublin South West is a huge blow and a hard one to take... Continue reading »

The next Irish election • No Comments I must admit it’s been quite hard to get worked up about who wins the next Irish General election.

Independents’ Doomsday

Politics in Ireland — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 13:41:36 +0000

Gerry O’Sullivan asks you not to vote for an Independent in the forthcoming election. Independents, by and large, have a loyal following in their local areas. If they manage to blackmail convince the government to do their bidding, they are seen as champions of the local cause. But this just encourages others, until we get to the point that...
