The coming election is going to be slightly more interesting than usual.

I say slightly because elections in general are pretty tedious affairs.

What makes this one mildly interesting is the general unrest in the population. There is a widespread attitude that we are sick of the Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael pair who have dominated the scene for the last hundred years. There is nothing to distinguish one from the other, which they confirmed after the last election when they formed a coalition.

This time around Sinn Féin have risen to the challenge. They are now tying with the other two in the opinion polls with independent candidates up there too. I would imagine that the bookies are quite nervous at this point.

Fine Gael were in the lead but then Child Harris went and blew it in spectacular fashion. He was rude to a woman while canvassing. But the woman was a Carer [a subject supposedly close to Child Harris’s heart]. And to compound the situation the the fucking idiot did it in front of television cameras which were recording at the time.

Naturally the video went “viral” and Fine Gael dropped four points in the polls.

For a beautiful commentary on the situation I would highly recommend The Gist who sums up the Fine Gael mob with the precision of a surgeon’s knife.

Herself also summed them up….

A shower of cunts!
