Irish Election are pleased to announce our collection of Irish 
Fine Gael launch a poll
Read more about: Fine Gael
Fine Gael have launched an online poll to find out what is Fianna Fail’s biggest broken promises. Good Idea. But with the poll closing this Friday big mistake. Things like this on the internet need time to develop, for word of mouth to build and spread. Releasing the press release on a Thursday and results on a Friday. Mean only a few will vote and mainly party members. So a good idea ruined in my opinion. It also needs to be funny to grab peoples attention. They could really have had fun with this online. Could have done some Youtube video’s poking fun at it. Make mock election videos with people advocating a single promise. Maybe with details of the promises launch with a voice over in a Maurice Hickey style going
Remember when you vote to vote “E-Voting” number 1. A lot not done more undone
Anyway for what it is worth. You can vote here until Friday. (Also allowing multiple voting is not a good sign for a democratic party 
)
This could backfire. Wait for the rival poll
Please vote for Fine Gael’s stupidist idea
1. Free Laptops for every school student
2. Bootcamps for teenagers
3. Letting 16 year olds vote
4. Putting Dozens of Gardai sitting in cars around the M50 waiting for a traffic jam.
5. Going for the racist vote by making immigration an election issue.
6. Hoping the public would think Ivan Yeates is a neutral pundit
7. Allowing Michael Noonan push Diarmuid Scully off the ticket
8. Billboards attacking the quality of another party’s leader
9. Electing Enda Kenny ahead of Richard Bruton
10. Starting the post failure in the election leadership contest a year before the election
11. Other (please epecify there were so so many)
A democratic party? Poor Eoin O’Duffy must be rolling in his grave…
Multiple votes. That must be how Enda Kenny got elected leader. His mammy voted 7864 times
1. Free Laptops for every school student
The laptops are for second level school students not every student.
2. Bootcamps for teenagers
FG didn’t use the phrase bootcamps the press did. And what was suggested weren’t bootcamps.
3. Letting 16 year olds vote
Where and when did FG suggest this?
4. Putting Dozens of Gardai sitting in cars around the M50 waiting for a traffic jam.
Sure what waiting would be involved? There is a practically a traffic jam on the M50 most of the time at rush hour anyway.
5. Going for the racist vote by making immigration an election issue.
I think it is McDowell that took the racist tone, FG simply suggested that we need to discuss and plan for how immigration is managed. Planning and preparing for the future is something the government have completely avoided. “Jaysus, young lads and lassies in new house estates are having babies and we have to look for plan to build a school now. Who’d have thought it”
6. Hoping the public would think Ivan Yeates is a neutral pundit
How was that something FG had a hand in? Sure it was RTe that pick the line for Frank Lundtz show and you can hardly call Noel Whelan or Terry Prone impartial can you?
7. Allowing Michael Noonan push Diarmuid Scully off the ticket
I’m prefer to see Diarmuid on the ticket in Limerick East.
8. Billboards attacking the quality of another party’s leader
Where are these billboards?
1. Free Laptops for every school student
The laptops are for second level school students not every student.
— Either way it’s still a stupid idea just maybe stupid on a slightly less monumental scale. Who will maintain these hundreds of laptops and what happens when they “get stolen” by the older brother in college. Will the taxpayer end up paying for a never ending stream of laptops into UCD/UL/UCC.
2. Bootcamps for teenagers
FG didn’t use the phrase bootcamps the press did. And what was suggested weren’t bootcamps.
— A rose by any other name. It was a bootcamp just that phrase was tippexed out.
3. Letting 16 year olds vote
Where and when did FG suggest this?
— Wasn’t that earlier today?
4. Putting Dozens of Gardai sitting in cars around the M50 waiting for a traffic jam.
Sure what waiting would be involved? There is a practically a traffic jam on the M50 most of the time at rush hour anyway.
— Forgive me if I want my Gardai stopping crime not sitting in traffic jams on the M50. Also Olivia Mitchell couldn’t answer the question as to where the magically empty streets were that the Gardai were going to direct traffic on to.
5. Going for the racist vote by making immigration an election issue.
I think it is McDowell that took the racist tone, FG simply suggested that we need to discuss and plan for how immigration is managed. Planning and preparing for the future is something the government have completely avoided. “Jaysus, young lads and lassies in new house estates are having babies and we have to look for plan to build a school now. Who’d have thought it”
— I took Kenny’s statement as having a fairly racist tone. I know the vast majority of people outside Fine Gael (and many within) also took it as a race related comment.
6. Hoping the public would think Ivan Yeates is a neutral pundit
How was that something FG had a hand in? Sure it was RTe that pick the line for Frank Lundtz show and you can hardly call Noel Whelan or Terry Prone impartial can you?
— At least neither of them nearly had a stroke trying to defend one party over the others.
7. Allowing Michael Noonan push Diarmuid Scully off the ticket
I’m prefer to see Diarmuid on the ticket in Limerick East.
— Well Noonan won’t want you in his dictatorsh…. sorry party so.
8. Billboards attacking the quality of another party’s leader
Where are these billboards?
— Check the bin at the back of your house.
The bin at the back of my house is too full of Dan Sullivan posters to have any billboards in it.
Of course, the plan is to try and recycle those posters some day so the bin never leaves the back of the house. The neighbours are beginning to complain though.
