jimbo79: how will you vote and why


None of the above.

Personally don't believe we should have one...our "Premier" should be enough to fullfil the ambassador role as well as what they're supposed to be doing.

i voted mcguinness, i think the president has an important role, the taoiseach has his own job to lead the government while the president does the ceremonial role, and also as seen with the last two especially mary robinson can enhance our image abroad

I agree that we shouldnt have one and for the first time in my life I was considering not voting, if you knew how strongly I feel about everyone exercising their right to vote you would know how big a deal that is lol, however when Mc Guinness became a candidate there was no way I wasnt going to vote for someone else, not sure who yet lol.

While I agree with the sentiments that we don't need a president. I think if we do have to have one then Michael D is the stand out choice. With the other 6 muppets it's just a question of the scale of their awfulness.

im glad norris got the chance to run, otherwise it would always have been said that the rightful president was left out, he is an awful egit, no way in touch with the people

He doesn't really drink much any more. I met him at a social function and he certainly wasn't twisted. Whether or not the man takes a drink is besides the point and it's scurrilous for you to bring it up.

His integrity and his record. Sure his membership of the Labour Party has meant he has had to take party lines occasionally that I would disagree with, but his record on human rights is there for all to see by contrast his opponents are

2 far-right Catholic fundamentalists from Derry (One who has been pivotal in recent years in privatising public services and also in putting the parasitic scum of the DUP into government.)

A man who has a lot going for him, but is tainted by poor judgement and most crucially the fact he claimed benefit while a seantor.

A multi-millionaire TV personality who is a FFr in all but name.

A pompous fool who encapsulates all the worst aspects of the blueshirts

A dull as dishwater Cardboard cutout who has nothing more to say for herself than "I organised the special olympics"

So yeah, next to that lot, it's hard to not look good.

I can't fathom why any left winger outside of Sinn Féin would vote for McGuinness. Not only is he as bad as any FFr down here he's probably more conservative than most.
