Election time again

It's election time again in Ireland, we are voting for local and EU politicians to look after our interests. The only problem is they have all been so under handed we don't know who to put our faith, trust and our money in!! I believe that it is my duty to vote but these politicians are making it harder to do every time an election comes up.
We have spent the last 5 years getting out of the mess our "leaders" put us in - we have to carry some of the blame too, now when there is light at the end of the tunnel we find out that there is more dirt in the cupboard and no one will stand up and take the blame.

Election time again - back to the same old tricks

Once again with an election looming near the politicians are back to the same old tricks namely blame everyone else and try to con the less well off. Any thing that is causing a problem is automatically related to something the opposition did 20 years ago, well you have had 20 years to sort it out why is it an issue now.

As for less well off after 5 years in power the politicians suddenly come to the realisation that if we don't promise them something they wont vote for us, so they magic up jobs in the areas that have been hardest hit, namely the construction sector even though they have talked for the last year or so about the need for it.

Election time again - More empty promises

I think the cabinet spend a lot of the time before calling the election on working out their strategy, but the strategy they work on is at what stage do we drip feed these NOT to be fulfilled promises to our gullible public. The public may know what is going on but at the same time we all go into the imaginary world of "This government is different they will keep their promises" and in 5 years time we are back to the same promises and looking into that imaginary world again!! What's that old saying

"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!"

Well how about 5 or 10 or 15 times! who does the shame fall on now?

Election time again - Is it real or a soap opera!

TV3 announced their new schedule with soap guru John Yorke and writer Peter McKenna coming in to produce a new soap, but I think they have been here for a while working on a different soap, it's called the "Dáil" that is the only thing that would explain what is going on behind the doors of Leinster House.

Election time again - Parting words

We can't tar all the politicians with the same brush some of them will actually run for election on a truth based manifesto! The only trouble is when they tell the truth they don't get the votes to get elected, I wonder why? Perhaps we all just want to live in that "imaginary world" where everything in the garden is rosy and hope that things just go back to the full bank accounts, low interest rate mortgages, new car every year and 45 euro chicken!
