Yes, you are being again played as a fool! Let’s get that clear and out of the way. I next quote ex-TD Shane Ross from yesterday’s Sunday Independent newspaper (LINK):
.
“Of course there was no written “deal” with Lowry, just a quiet arrangement, what both sides liked to call an “understanding”. Lowry would support the government in crucial Dáil votes. In return, they treated him even better than their own TDs. Over the years, he has been party to such understandings with all kinds of coalitions. A formal “deal” is deniable; but he is kept in the loop and he has access to ministers. Lowry’s star is permanently in the ascendant in Tipp. …The era of secret deals has never been stronger. The public will not be fooled by the platitudes of the Programme for Government.”
.
We all know that favours will be done in return for vote support at every necessary Dail process. Nothing is in writing or even email. They are more sneaky than that. No evidence if possible! Behind closed doors, there’s shaking of hands and agreements/understandings have been reached. Let’s not kid ourselves. Dirty politics is alive and kicking. It’s how Fianna Gail and Fine Gael decades operate. They have never stopped operating in Old Politics tactics.
.
So, the “party of law and order” (as FG PR’s itself) and FF, will again jump into bed with a convicted person – while same time looking the other way about their own party member illegal antics and cover-ups – while also accusing opposition others of being connected to equally questionable persons! It’s massive hypocrisy slapping you in the face. You know it. I know it. Yet, gullible voters keep supporting it. It’s simply nuts. If anyone is daft enough to take the word of Mr Martin, a major issue flip-flopper, they are really are making themselves to be as stupid – as two main parties are again trying to see us, and treat us all as!
.
The independents are in bed with the 2025 government. That they dare them still call themselves “opposition” and sit on the opposition side, is yet another insult to our intelligence. We see them for what they really are. Between FF, FG and the Independents, they think the entire nation is completely stupid. Some of us at least, refuse to be.
