Well yes, and it's a strange constituency stretching from the Georgian Village to whatever the Westies equivalent is these days, Joe Higgins lost his seat in 2007 and regained in 2011. She was my number 1 but her campaign seemed a bit iffy, lots of promises like free transport that aren't going to happen and I figure probably put people off, similar to Labour's promises in the UK. A massive loss though imhoi think coppinger was marmite for many people. so not as transfer friendly as she might have been.
FWIW you are right here. He was a teacher in my first primary school in Wexford townHowlin comes across to me that he seems like he was a teacher. No basis for that opinion
But my point was more to all the folk online telling the world that this is definitive left-leaning election when the Sinn Fein transfer votes are going all over the shop.
Sure yeah, I'm not trying to gotcha anyone here, I mean the young vote in the UK was definitively left and look where it got them, we still need to get all the dreadful older people who have given up on society on board.I think its a real combo, as expected. In Lots of constituencies, SF transfer votes did go to PBP-Solidarity. In others, more bizarre directions. I think, without a doubt, a vast majority of younger people did vote left, transfer left, but I also know a lot of older Sinn Feiners who are surprisingly socially conservative (Talked to several older folk in Navan who were giving their #1 to Guirk for example, and their #2 for Peader fucking Toibin LOL. But their reasoning was local! They've always voted for Peader, they want the train, etc.), or are SF votes primarily because of the nationalism factor. I think its a bit GOTCHA to be like, SEE, THIS WHOLE VOTE LEFT TRANSFER LEFT THING IS BULLSHIT BECAUSE these transfers when clearly for a huge volume of new SF voters, that WAS the case.
Related and unrelated, really really gutted over Ruth, especially because of Jack fucking Chambers. My friend says the constituency has some really strongly conservative pockets - don't know too much about it, its your constituency too?
The RTE talking heads seem to be saying that FG will step back slightlySo, do you think FG will push FF towards a FF/SF coalition, with the notion that FF will be eaten alive by SF, and the next generation of Irish politics will be a straight FG/SF rivalry?
Yes, and remove the incentives to buy housing as an investment.The solution to housing is relatively easy - borrow a shit ton of money and build houses
Does anyone know on here know about actual possible solutions here? I assume you begin by getting rid of the two-tier system.The solution to health is - well no one seems to know what it fecking is
It's not as easy as money though - we spend a fucking fortune and we're trolley city
