I always voted Joe Higgin's/ Greens but in the last electection I would've most likely voted FG if my submission to the electoral register had been processed in time.<br /><br />We seem to have the worst possible coalition, FG won't raise taxes and Labour won't reduce wages.<br /><br />SeanSean McMahonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-33336515222111766472012-08-13T21:02:23.770+01:002012-08-13T21:02:23.770+01:00But what's the alternative?

I work in the private sector, the sharp end in IT Sales and my immediate peer group mostly work in the public sector in the state labs, the civil service, education, etc. <br /><br />People simply would not believe what I know goes on from talking to my friends.

A journey begun in 2009, accelerated in 2010 with the criminal Croke Park agreement which logically culminated in having to take Bailout No. 1 with another bailout or bailout extension to come, if the Euro holds together long enough. I believe their is now a silent run on banks throughout the EZ as the wholesale funders of these institutions try to get their capital to the least worst effected safe haven.<br /><br />The game being played by government and unions is positively tawdry and incomprehensible in terms of a nation state seeking it's long term survival. In the end they will implode the economy in on itself.Robert Brownenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-51930926585136758022012-08-09T18:03:20.952+01:002012-08-09T18:03:20.952+01:00Depressingly true Constantin!
