How will you vote??

[barrym]

I may be a bit previous, but I assume that most of us on here are committed to voting, but, since there is so much chat about the need for political change, how will you vote?

I am trying to ascertain how those, like me, who desperately want to get away from clientism and all it implies, will be voting, in the hope of getting change.

Personally I don't hold out much hope for change, we'll get promises, even committments, but action??

I won't waste my franchise so I'll be voting Labour 1, in the hope they'll get enough seats in a coalition to have some influence on future actions. I don't know yet whether I'll vote further down the page.... I think FG won't move on clientism or Dail reform, SF may well say they will, but they won't be in Gov., and anything else is a waste of the franchise. Personal opinion.

I havn't made up my mind as yet on my vote..... I am the ever optimist...... still hoping that a new party will arrive on the scene that will provide the much needed political reform you refer to.........

[Frankie Lee]

From left to right stopping at Labour.

[Sam Lord]

If I had one I wouldn't use it.

Waiting for the Messiah? Where have I heard that before?

Why not Sam?

I will of course be voting for Fís Nua, working my way from No1 downwards from left to centre, and from the other direction working backwards from Fianna Fail, through Fine Gael to centre. Every candidate will get a number.

I will not gratify these indistinguishable imposters with an opinion.

[Sam Lord]

Why not Sam?

Because there is no one who reflects my political viewpoint. If Eirigi were running I would probably sum up the energy to go to the polling station but they are not.

Does that mean you will not be voting?

[TotalMayhem]

Does that mean you will not be voting?

No, I won't be voting.

[Sam Lord]

No, I won't be voting.

We're heading the poll ...

so are Fis Nua a left party of sorts, or left of centre? I tried to click on the site but is wouldnt load. Where are you running, how many, and on what basic manifesto(if even 5 major points could be made to me as a voter on the doorstep).
