Tomorrow's Irish Independent - Milward Brown poll


FG 38 (+ 8 )
Lab 23 (-1)
SF 10 (-3)
FF 12 ( -4)
Gr 1 (-)
Ind/Other 16 (-1)

Being for the Indo I would normally take this with a pinch of salt but it matches closely with the recent Red C poll, FG seem to be really up @ 38%

there seems to be an extra -1 in that table

Ya I noticed that too, thats taken direct from politics.ie

The table might be more interesting if the % were translated into seats. How many % is a seat worth?

Anyone hear Ger (I think his name is) Colleran from the Star with Tubridy this morning. Jesus Christ, he really has a bugbear about Adams.

Millward Brown is pretty reputable. It's the "Quantum Research" jobs in the Sindo that are made-up.

In any case, you shouldn't be criticising Independent Newspapers. You can expect it to return to its pre-90s role of faithful FG lapdog very soon.

Would I be right in saying that poll was carried out before last nights debate?

I don't want papers to be with us, just because they have an agenda. I want journalists to make considered comment, not have a default setting of supporting or criticising certain parties of politicians. We also saw how Bertie was able to rule this country with RTE and the Indo group.

Pretty sure it was before the debate. I would have thought Enda and Gerry would see further personal increases but maybe not party increases based on last nights performance. Expect a fall in Gilmores personal support.

FF on 10% in Dublin (Herald poll)

Both nationaly and in Dublin, M.Martin is now receiving worse results than Brian Cowan ever did. The Micheal bounce has appeared to have ended, slide resumes.

'and the word was made flesh and shared amongst us' finally what sinn fein said was on the cards has been floated in the public domain. good news for all you war mongers. the Irish nation under a fine gael government will give Irish troops to the European rapid response force courtesy of the Lisbon treaty. no sign of the jobs and investment promised if we gave the green light but sure we knew that anyway. all it took was a wee bit of shit from micheal o'leary and sabre rattling from intel and we caved. now young irish men and women will pay for our stupidity and greed literally with their lives. wheres neutrality now? but sure that was just dev covering his ass. today i am ashamed to be irish. we are being pushed around by banks, europe, but worst of all we are being betrayed by our own politicians, sold down the river by traitors. bad enough that we should say goodbye to our youth to emmigration but to send them out to die for the ideals of a europe lead by germany and france 2 countries who are steeped in the blood of innocent people thats the last straw.

when is someone going stand up for this country and fight for irish people? when is anyone going to say something.. anything and actually mean it? this has been planed for the last 5 or 6 years, enda was'nt in germany talking about banks he was assuring the germans that he could deliver the irish people on a plate asses up ready to be screwed.

army dreamers..

Very good, at last the pretence of neutrality will be exposed, FF allowing the Yanks to bring arms, armies and prisoners through Ireland. About time Ireland & Europe stood up and stopped relying on the dodgy as fck Yanks.

I'm not sure where lawnseed got his post from, but are you, mayogodhelpus, saying you support a united European Army, with mandatory Irish participation?

I would like to see Ireland with the constitutional option to participate. Balkens type mission not an Iraq type mission.

That's splitting hairs. Why not just stay the way we are, and contribute to the UN peacekeeping missions like Chad, the Leb, etc?

Why the urge to get involved in military 'operations'?
