because none of the above mentioned have anything to say on issues that really effect working people

These so called 'socialists' have nothing to say on important issues to ordinary workers such as a shorter working week, more public holidays, time spend in traffic gridlock, affordable childcare etc etc

Friends of mine who work in France and Austria get an extra month pay at Christmas every year but the tame Unions and the above mentioned Irish 'socialists' dont bother to even seek these types of gains for workers. Workers in France and other European countries get weeks extra holidays than we do in this country and are winning a significantly shorter working week. What have the above done on this issue? I dont expect yuppies such as Bacik or Mary Ellen to have anything to say on these issues but the 'socialist' have no excuse. So dont vote for any of them as they do nothing for the ordinary worker.
