Quote from: whitey on Today at 01:46:52 PMImmigration is the number one issue because it costs hundreds of millions of Euro to house, feed, clothe and transport these people (some of whom are complete fraudsters)

Ah so your biggest concern day to day isn't being able to afford to heat the home you can't afford to own, but rather, it's the money the state has to pay for those damn immigrants? Surely if it's true that on a day-to-day bais the health of the states coffers are of more concern to you than your own coffers, then taxation and tax dodging by the superwealthy that ought to be making you mad, instead of the dark skinned fella walking down the street minding his own business?


People have (and had) legitimate concerns that are not being addressed

The government (and Sinn Fein) had an opportunity to tackle this but they caved to the woke NGOs and just started calling people racists and far right

I have 4 immediate family members who are staunch lifelong Blueshirts and they're all voting third party at the next election

I'm not surprised that's the stock you come from.

Tell me, who is this "third party" and what's the name of the candidate?


I used the term third party in the generic sense-ie not FF, FG, SF, PBP, Labour etc

Candidates haven't been declared yet-so it will be some type of protest vote for someone like Aontu or an independent if I were to guess

Ok so who does that leave for them to vote for. Tell me the constituency and I'll even help you find out.

We have a price to pay for being part of the EU. Taking our fair share of emigrants is part of it. We have a choice, leave the EU. Lets see how that goes for the Brits who you do seem to have more in common with than anyone else.

Quote from: Snapchap on Today at 12:48:18 PMIf you're the sort of person for whom immigration is more imporant than healthcare, taxation, education, housing, the cost of living, then you're too f**king stupid to see how you're being manipulated.

Immigration affects health, education and housing.

Give me the stats on the health and housing. Education has been a struggle in the South more to do with the appalling planning by government. Show me the data that says immigration has caused increased waiting times in hospitals. Show me where housing affordability was caused in some way by Immigrants (most of them are rammed into building that were never to be used for housing - old hotels for example)

Quote from: Armagh18 on Today at 08:51:59 AMUnfortunately theres a fair chunk of ordinary people with genuine concerns about immigration (fair few there will be a small bit racist too I'll admit) but they're by no stretch far right looneys. The danger is the far right looneys who are probably 0.001% can appeal to that more moderate chunk who have been let down the major parties and feel like they've no choice.

If you are looking at the next election with your main focus being on immigration, then I'm afraid you are either stupid or racist (and all racists are stupid).

Interesting listening to Brolly's podcast today. He referenced a recent Ipsos research poll into people's biggest priorities in the 26 counties.

Immigration finished top at 22%!!!! To put that f**king lunacy into context, healthcare came in at 4%. Education came in at 2%. Taxes and the economy at 2%. Energy prices, which have increased by around 1,000% in the last decade at 2%.

If you're the sort of person for whom immigration is more imporant than healthcare, taxation, education, housing, the cost of living, then you're too f**king stupid to see how you're being manipulated.

Yep, its easy to blame all your woes on foreigners and some people are just to thick to see what is being done to them. People going on about SF moving right. Wait till you see the independents and FG in the next 6 months.

Quote from: bennydorano on March 27, 2024, 09:00:44 PMArmagh win by 2 (2.9 to 2.7) after looking like they were going to choke and throw it away after being in control throughout. Cavan much more aggressive in their pressing and application in the 2nd half, could have nicked it.

Out of Armagh's 2.9 I'd say the forwards contributed 0.2 maybe, that's a good & bad stat.

Armagh were 6/7 point the better team only for a ridiculous collapse in the last 5 minutes. Very depressing stuff watching all cavan teams at the moment.

Quote from: whitey on March 27, 2024, 03:23:55 PMWhether you like or dislike McDowell he argued points of law as it pertained to the failed referendums and what he said made all the sense in the world.

The govt tried to pull a fast one and it cost Varadkar his job

If I were to hazard a guess, "far right" (by the standards of this board) will get somewhere between 15-20% of first preference votes in the next General Election





Whitey, you might as well ask a dog to estimate how far it is to the moon than ask you to estimate first preference in votes in a southern election from America. I would say max 3% and will get no one elected as only the brain dead would vote for them and no one will transfer to them.

There are are large cohort of people who are not ''Far Right'' and all that jargon who will vote for certain principles these candidates stand for. There is a huge disconnect between the Major Parties and the Electorate. There will be many who will privately do a rebellious vote.

Sinn Fein are in bother. They have lost ground in the many disadvantaged areas they would have been sailing through.

SF are no longer seen as an alternative for change

I know I won't be voting for FF/FG/SF/Greens.

By you.

There's always the social democrats, independents who'll be far right if you want them to this election and far left the next one. Whatever suits. Then you can vote for the inbreds in the Far right parties so still plenty of choice for you.

I don't have much time for the Far Right parties, but calling them inbreeds doesn't put those who call them that in a good light.
Sinn Fein have proven to be one of the weakest major opposition parties in a long time. Voting for them will be more of the same. Sinn Fein I'm afraid have lost their way. I suppose this was going to happen when there was no Cause to fight for anymore, and now they've naturally fallen in with the pack.

Inbreds was quite restrained. Good for nothing useless cnuts without a braincell between them. They deserve nothing but ridicule and to be bet of the streets wherever they go. How's that.

Didn't know Sinn Fein had exclusive rights to the tricolour. 

Did she say that? I don't think so. I think a scummy **** like him should have been buried in a ditch somewhere, no flag.

Several Independent TDs who have previously supported the government have indicated to that they either won't support Harris in the vote for Taoiseach

Thats code for "We want more promises for our area so we can get elected in next GE if you want our support"

It all comes out in the end, at least when some media outlets bother to look.

I'm sure most of you wondered by a Garda who gave a bike to a homeless man was suspended for years.
