Comment on Eamon Ryan Green party leader by nils

Thanks for your comment, It doesn’t matter if they are the ‘most’ honest, the facts speak for themselves. The green party had ample opportunity to pull out of government and to put a stop to the blanket guarantee and the bank bail out. Since I was 18 years old I voted for the green party until the last election. I voted labor and socialist party not because it think they are any better, Politics is Politics and its just one big game, things change really slow. depending on the local green party member, it will dictate if I vote for a green again.

You trust Fine Gael, Labour, Fianna Fail more that the Greens? The other parties have been running local and national government of this country for the long term. If we had Green policy where government appointments were made to qualified people and not to friends we would have been better off in banking regulation and other areas.

From listening closely to politicians the Greens and especially Eamon Ryan are the most honest. They always explained what they were doing. They had to go into government to show they were not irrelevant as they were always dismissed as before. They didn’t go out of government earlier where they might have gotten some credit for it but when it might have made the situation worse.

Unfortunately being honest doesn’t look or sound as good on media as is finding the latest most popular ideas and expounding on them dramatically.

Other parties and independants pick up green issues because they’re fashionable and think they’ll get votes for it (and they do!). It’s okay seeing good policy picked up but cringe factor is a bit too high at times when it is being implemented by eejits who have latched onto green fashion but not principles. :-7

are you saying that prizeclub.ie is a scam?

looking into it, the terms and conditions /do/ mention the prices… but who reads those? (heh – see latest South Park for reasons to read T&Cs carefully) “The first question is free and thereafter each question received every 7 days will be charged at €4, or as indicated, irrespective of whether the question is answered or not.”

So, I’m guessing they’re going to send you a question every week from now on, and it will cost you €4 every time.

Even if you /do/ win, they make it difficult to collect: “You may be required to present the SIM card of the mobile phone that you have used to play and win. You may also be required to provide a letter from the mobile network confirming that you are registered against the mobile phone in question.”

yup – a scam.

People are tired of it all, the majority want him and his government out but failing a revolution you do that through the ballot box. The problem with this will be the fact that there are so many who dont realise they dont have to tick all of the boxes on the ballot card resulting in transfers to FF that add to the probably 20% who will regardless still vote for them. The worst case I ever came across was a teacher from Kilkenny who admitted that she just put a number in every box and didnt realise that she could leave some empty – these people are educating our children!! Maybe the fact that she was blonde had something to do with it.

Yeah, I think will. I have read the book “A problem From hell”, It’s an interesting read on America and its involvement around the world.
