The real problem with Irish poltics is that people are inbedded in blind loyalty and the mindnumbing choice whether to vote for Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael and the old and very fucking annoying saying 'Well me dad/mam/fucking granparents voted for' said FG or that FF politician etc etc.
In todays political society it is blindingly fucking obvious that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are in effect the same party as far as their policies are concerned. Tradition the Irish Political way gets on my fucking tits!
