With the date of the General Election only two weeks away I have been pondering which one of the candidates should get my No.1?? All the various parties are promising us the world if we vote for them, but will they deliver on anything??
Here is the link to all the candidates running in the constituency
Link.
Fianna Fail (FF)- Tom McEllistrom- Definitely not a first choice being a FF candidate, although the party faithful would have you believe that since FF got us into this mess they are best suited to get us out of the mess, I believe we could call that line of thinking "Fuzzy Logic".
Chance of My No.1-0/10
Fine Geal (FG)- Jimmy Deenihan and John Sheehan- The most likely to form the new government have a good chance of getting the No.1. Sadly which ever party gets to form the new government will have an awful to clean up and no money to do anything with.
Chance of My No.1-5/10
Labour- Arthur J Spring- Judging by past elections the party most likely to get the vital No.1
Chance of My No.1-7.5/10
Green Party-Tom Donovan- Snow balls chance in hell. Refer to Fianna Fail comment.
Chance of My No.1-0/10
Sinn Fein(SF)- Martin Ferris- No hope of No.1. Went to the prison to collect the scumbags who shot
Garda Jerry McCabe who were released after only serving a short sentence for the crime due to the Good Friday Agreement. Maybe another SF candidate might have a better chance of the No.1 but sadly Martin Ferris won't be getting any preferences.
Chance of My No.1-0/10
Independents- Mary Fitzgibbon, Bridget O'Brien and Mick Reidy. Will probably get the No.2 or 3. So long as they don't wind up like Jackie Healy Rea and actually work in the best interests of the country they will do well and will hold a lot of power.o
Chance of My No.1-5/10
