Irish Election on May 24th

This morning, the date for the next Irish General election was anounced as 24th May. After 10 years in Government, the people once again get their chance to decide their fate....
And in a strange way the choice is similar to booking a RyanAir flight,
1) Pay peanuts and know that YOU'LL be treated like the monkey... i.e stick with the current Fianna Fail Party
2) Take a chance with a new provider but discover at the end of the journey that you're just a lot poorer than choosing option 1 and in reality you've ended up in the same place anyway... more or less.

I'm not a FF die hard but on reflection today, I'd guess that their return to power would be the best solution for the country.
Yes, I do care about corruption and believe that crooked people should go to jail. However I have to be honest and express my doubts that Bertie will every get caught.

So how about a vote for the other parties...
Michael McDowell of the PD's has demonstrated he's not a team player, in the context of his own party as well as the present government. We'd be better off without his disruptive influence.
The SF'ers are a classic anomaly... a single party that pledges allegiance to which country exactly?? I don't think it's a country that currently exists and certainly isn't a country that I'd want to live in.
And then there's the FG, Labour alliance... I'm afraid I just don't believe that they'd be any better than FF and are just a whole lot less experienced at the country management game. I don't fancy risking our futures while they come up to speed.
As for the Greens, in a strange way their time is running out... as the world becomes more environmentally aware, the mainstream parties will have to adopt the environmental issue... and then where would the Greens be. When you take away the tree hugging ideas, what else does the Green Party stand for?

..... sadly that leaves me in the space of booking a RyanAir flight, I know I'm likely to get there but also know that I'll be left feeling that Michael OLeary doesn't give a damn about me so long as he can find enough punters willing to take the cheap option.
