@MichealMartinTD Any chance of, you know, posting that as Gaeilge? To recognise the spirit of Comhaltas and the Fleadh? A Fianna Fáil Taoiseach who hates the tradition of Fianna Fáil. It’s weird. Likel genuinely weird. I don’t get it. Why not be in Fine Gael? (Genuine question)
@DavQuinn@AontuIE@independent_ire That doesn’t make any sense though. Voters influence ELECTIONS. In 2024 the combine AONTÚ/II vote was just 7.5%. If they can maintain current polling into the next election your point might make sense.
@DavQuinn@AontuIE@independent_ire There hasn’t been an increase in support for Aontú? Shocking you’re let on radio shows when you can’t read a poll. I am actually shocked Independent Ireland didn’t get a bigger bump due to being the face of the protests but I can at least read a poll. Please, please do better.
@DavQuinn This is a silly equivalence. In a world where Maria Steen was elected Uachtarán the country would’ve been in a far different place politically and therefore would’ve had a mandate for it. It’s a statement that obviously true but with an obvious explanation.
@VirginMediaNews@gavreilly Yes of course it can. We are running a massive surplus and have three wealth funds. Running a budget surplus makes us very unusual globally.
@eoinneylon I don’t know where I stand on the issue but you act like the majority of countries don’t run huge deficits. We are a rare country that runs a surplus. Countries can afford deficits in crisis if we course correct when the crisis abates and given how rich we are we’d be fine.
@KeithMcHugh8 @EdBalls2kut @PaulSommerville No absolutely not. But this was linked to prove a MAJORITY think spending immigration etc are an issue. That wasn’t the question the Indo asked, they asked what the MOST important issue was. So no more than it proves that, does it prove the point Ed said that it does.
