A wee thread..

Irish people wanted & voted for change. The centre-right wing opposition in the Dail, said they won't form a joint coalition decided to, guess what......join together
imo just to stop @sinnfeinireland from having any power

Remember at the last election Irish people went out & voted for change.

Well as alot of voters now will be thinking, what was the point because we still got the same w*nkers in power with the last eejits that put us in a recession. The party who loved the bankers & developers

The Fianna Fáil leader who said he would rule out a grand coalition just done that & joined a grand coalition so he could have a turn of playing #Taoiseach

At the end of the day, Irish people don't forgot & come next election I think many will remember it was @EamonRyan @greenparty_ie who helped form this coalition. A power hungry coalition that I don't believe has the interest of the people in their mind.

Think of Ireland 2020 (pre covid-19)
Large scale homelessness
high rents
unemployment
emigration
bank bailouts
Health scandals ie #CervicalScreening
Overcrowding hospitals
Long waiting lists
Fiasco of the National Children's Hospital
High suicide rate
Pension tax

Racism
High insurance
Lack of rural public transport
Lack of local funding
Lack of funding in Mental Health org

The list can go on & on...

And don't get me started on the cruel & downgrading #directprovision

Maybe this #FFFGG coalition will make some headway in solving the many difficulties arising in Irish society today but with a recession on the horizon and the same leaders in government I really can't be that optimistic.

End of Thread.
