You wouldn't vote for a party of  "the other side" (that was the question). Presumably that means you only vote for your own "side". But you're not a single-issue voter.

There's a difference in not voting for a party on the basis of a single-issue, i.e., they don't really care for you (and would rather you'd curl up and die in some cases), and voting for a party on a single-issue. Not quite the same Hardy.

I'd gladly vote for themmuns if they didn't care that I was also one of themmuns, albeit a different themmun.

Would any of you vote for a party from the other side if they where running on a major issue such as Hospitals closures and the lads for your side supported closing the hospital ?

A very good question.

In the north wee Jeffrey wants an election pact with ulster unionists to keep catholics out, so their colours are well and truely nailed to their mast. That should really open the door to FF and FG for people who dont want to vote along sectarian lines.

However, do you trust the likes of FF, FG, Tories or Labour to adhere to their manifestos?


What's that - some kind of adhesive disinfectant?

I toyed with toes, then thought I'd better leave something for Master Hardy esquire.

Podophile ;D

I hate it when people gang up on a smart-arse.

At least I escaped the "please desist from starting bigoted threads" slur this time. Phew!

The FG's are obviously opening their pharmacies and solicitors offices at the moment, I'm sure they'll be around later.....

No Labour either.....Joan Burton's voice that annoying?I'd say yes.....

No.

Would you vote for a political party because you agreed on one issue but completely disagreed on all the others?

No but I know people down here have voted for candidates based on 1 issue but I'd say the candidate would of been pretty close to the mainstream or had no real opinion on anything other than the 1 issue.
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Is it just Off-licenses that government ministers open  ;D

Of course getting to that off-license would entail a limo to Dublin Airport, government jet to Paris for re-fuel, limo to Opera for minister, their family and entourage (so minister could pass time while jet refueling), tip to bar staff at openbar approved by minister, limo back to CDG airport, government jet to Faranfore, limo across tarmac to aircorp chopper, limo from chopper to front off-license, Minister carried by a sedan chair to door, platinum scissors ordered from Rotterdam used to cut silk ribbons, minister orders another open bar, minister and entourage repeat all of the above on return visit, this time via Bali. All of the above charged to willing tax-payers.
