Its becoming clear that the election has created a vacume – let’s no one mention the black hole that is the huge debt of the country and the silliness of the EU/IMF deal – lets focus instead on how many jobs for each new govt party. We need a referendum to bring closure to this voting process. Election got rid of Fianna Fial, but that’s only half the job.
vacuum.
A Vacume is the gadget the government have invented for sucking out the last few drops of blood and money from u and me to pay the bank debt? But who is that Fianna Fial? thats what I’d like to know.
The biggest mistake anyone could make is assume that the next government will be less harmful than the last.

Hi David
You say getting rid of FF is half the job what is the other half of the job?
(Can only have referendum if FG/LAB push it and I can’t see that happening any time soon!!).
So Fianna Fail have reinvented themselves as Fianna Fial? Very clever of them, them boyos are always one step ahead of the rest of us.
As for the election creating a vacume, I would have to argue that it was the vacume which created the election because since the EMF arrived in town, and Jim Higgins’ speech against Jose Mourinho Baroso there’s been a total lack of clarity.
It looks like FG and Lab have sealed the deal today. No sign that they intend to get tough with EU/IMF. The pressure must be piled on to make them see sense.
Is this why the markets have pushed the bond spreads up again to an all-time high?
