There are very few things you can rely on in life – but you can always depend on Fine Gael to let you down.
If you describe yourself as working or middle class and you are going to vote for them I personally think you need your head examined.
Then again, seeing as the Irish Tories have decimated mental health services and all but destroyed the HSE, you’ll probably be waiting three years before a doc can examine it.
As you go to vote today ask yourself how one of the richest countries on Earth is in such a lamentable state with a Third World health service and Europe’s worst housing crisis.
The answer is simple and involves only two words – Fine Gael.
The reason we are living through the worst housing crisis in our history is not because the country is without the resources to build homes, it’s because of Fine Gael’s ideology.
Tory Boy Leo Varadkar and his party’s refusal to build affordable homes or what we once called council housing is straight out of the Thatcherite handbook.
Now in their eighth year in office, Fine Gael has allowed the number of homeless to more than treble and now we have more than 10,000 living in emergency accommodation.
As for the party of law and order, the country has become a gangsters’ paradise with the criminals behind the current cocaine epidemic engaged in brutal feuds for control of turf.
And Fine Gael has been pathetic when it comes to safeguarding the environment and to make up for it it is going to hammer us with huge carbon tax next Budget.
Why would any worker support a party which will not support them?
