26 County General Election 2020

How many votes would you get if you said " No Tax Cuts" and everyone to pay 5% of their income to provide a comprehensive public health system with no waiting lists?

Depends how credible you and your plans are. I think most people would be happy to pay their taxes if we got the public services we require/deserve.

Ask the Soc Dems and PBP

Who "won" last night's debate?

[seafoid]

We need to collect a bit of corporation tax off a few multi billion dollar companies and banks who are located within the state

The usual magic money tree, tax someone else.

5% of people own 40% of everything
Tax land hoarding

Mary Lou and Richard Boyd Barrett

That's not allowed I thought?

Old footage is probably allowed. Likely recorded before he became a candidate.

Does that mean they will  now be Taoiseach and Tánaiste?

Who "won" last night's debate?

Mary Lou and Richard Boyd Barrett

Agreed.

For me Varadkar boxed clever and may not have won but didnt really do himself any damage. Martin was poor I thought, he is not Taoiseach material. Was disappointed with Shortall, seemed almost disinterested. Howlin tried hard but I think labour lack credibility with the left at the moment.

Also, given SF's surge and Mary Lou doing well last night, watch now from a crank up from the media to discredit SF. Already we had the times putting out some nonsense yesterday and today Peadar Tobin (a terrorist apologiser to the Indo 4 years ago) is now front page news attacking them. I hope voters see this for what it is.

It's clearly current. He's been a candidate for more than a year now.

Agree on all counts. Shortall was out of her depth. She's no more a party leader than Michael Healy Rae. Howlin's hour is long gone.

According to the Indo this morning, Martiin was the clear winner, (7/10) followed by Mary Lou. (6/10)
Leo (5/10) comes next with Howlin and Boyd Barrett both on 4/10, Ryan on 3/10 and Shortall on 2/10.

Hopefully he will retain his seat in the face of the exclusion afforded to him, be tough though, SF are shipping in minibuses  from all over to Meath to ensure he is silenced forever.

Good old Indo, embarrassing themselves yet again. How anyone could listen to Martin and think he won and/or would make a good Taoiseach - well basically you would just have to be die hard Finna Failer.

[weareros]

All shite. Private school educated Mary Lou acting all working class always good for a laugh. Howlin interrupts and saves her from the hard questions on SCC. How's that ex councilor who was big buddies with Hutch gang doing these days? I'm sure the AC will have their backs given they supplied them with the weapons.
