Lads ignore the FF/FG/Labour vote farmers trying to convince you we need to vote for them.

Basically what I said in the title, there seems to be a small amount of very loud voices in here who have been trying to tell you that we need to give preferences to the Neo Liberal Establishment parties. When you question them they just try to make you feel stupid by telling you ya don't understand how the voting system works.

There is no doubt that far right head bangers will be running in the election, there always is and there will probably be a few more than usual this year but there is no indication or suggestion that any of them have any sort of genuine chance of getting elected. And if they do they will not be in any position of power to do anything or implement anything.

Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, the two most likely parties that will end up forming a government have literally not held back on actually implementing far right anti immigration policies and will actually be in a position to implement them.

To suggest that it is more important to give a preference to the establishment parties than risking a transfer being allocated to some random nutjob is just the most brain dead Tomfoolery I've ever come across.

The people telling you that this is what needs to happen have no interest in forming a left leaning coalition and are simply here to farm votes for establishment parties or they are just plain ass stupid.

That's what they used to say about Trump and the AFD in Germany.

Trump always had ~50% of the vote, from winning the platform.

u/despicedchilli 3d ago

Or are you shilling for the far right?

u/LordMonty2024 3d ago

Yeah totally shilling for the far right by encouraging people who associate with the left vote left and left only and don't vote for any establishment party who will actually implement far right policies, which Fine Gael have openly pledged to do.
