So Fianna Fail will take power in what is for them a sweet election. Fine Gael have withered away. Labour hasnt changed. The PD's are laughable. But, here comes the lefties. The Greens get 6-7 seats (i dunno i've lost interest at this point), Sinn Fein 5, and the Socialist Party 1. This is all common knowledge but what does it really mean.

Lets look at it shall we, Fianna Fail got the most amount of votes, 40-50 percent, this is a rough estimate. But then again 60% turnout was recorded on the day, so in reality Fianna Fail only got 30% of the vote of the Irish people. So does a party with 30% have the right to rule us, no. Does anyone? No!

Certainly not when only 30% of the country voted for our new masters. Is this democracy, definitely not.

But what about our other friends, well twiddle dum is dead in the water and Michael "Il Duce" Noonan has fucked off to where he comes from. Labour, well its Labour, wasted of time, rich mans socialist club really. PD's? One answer, Mary Harney.

So no point having a government eh? All of these halfwits have 1) no clear majority or mandate from the public to rule us or 2) any idea what democracy is.

In reality because there is no clear election leader i think the government should be so nice as to abolish itself and let us rule ourselves, come on we can do it!

As for the lefties. Well we have a group of former murderers, a user friendly happy green party and one guy who sits in the corner of a capitalist parliament and calls himself a socialist.

So please mr.ahern please dissolve your government and let us rule ourselves from the ground up, please mr.ahern fuck off, or we'll just have to smash your fucking state.
