Money for votes

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Friday August 15, 2003 21:20author by Jack Daw - None Report this post to the editors

The governments grandmaster plan!

What's the bets that Fianna Faíl will again run away with the election in four years time again? I'd say they're well on the ball with regards how their voters are swayed. Whilst Fine Gael and Labour wail about how our health system is gone to the dogs and how unemployment is sky-rocketing Fianna Fail have still run away with the elections. By appealing to peoples greed for money our government have set a fullproof plan that over the coming years will ensure their re-election. First on the list are the special savings accounts which hatch at the same time of the elections (conveniently). This vast dispersal of wealth will temporarily BLIND the masses and generate an all-round boost in an environment of higher un-employment and private companies. Soon the P'ds and Fianna Fail will achieve their goals and succeed in selling off CIE and Aer Rianta. This will more than adequately fund the ssia's and allow the government to fund projects on the roads and in the health service as well as satisfying the P'ds need to see all public services privatised. How the elections go are up to the voters themselves, Personally I find the current government un-reliable and too likely to follow their own agenda rather than listen to the peoples opinion (the war on Iraq and march of 10'000ppl through dublin).
