So, the election wagon rumbles along.
Fine Gael: We're not the party who blew up the economy in 2011
Fianna Fail: We're not the party who blew up the economy in 2011 anymore
One of the two will get in power. The other will be the opposition. It's kinda predictable that way. What colours it is who gets to be the junior partner. Both of the bigboys have ruled out Sinn Fein - and the State Broadcaster has conspicuously left them out of the two-way leader's debate to the point where people are posting GoT memes about cutting tongues out. But then none of the other parties were allowed.
Labour. They exist.
The two most common words on Irish radio are 'Rural Ireland' to the point where it's gone beyond semantic satiation and become a contest of who'se able to say Rural Ireland the most times in a sentence while still maintaining semantic sense. It's gone beyond a joke. That, and the Taoiseach's utter fucking classism and his rabbit in headlights answer to 'did you smoke cannabis'.
It's sort of dull, really.
Healtcare is proving the big issue. Second only to house prices, and jobs anywhere that isn't Dublin. And how the beef farmers are getting utterly fucked over by as cartel of processors keep prices low.
But looking at the other thread, I 'm sort of glad that way.
Put the numbers in the boxes. Let the wagon keep rolling.
We'll be in a recession in two years. Or that stocking of shite in the oval office will have gotten the Bad End in Balance of Power for us all.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
