With a wry smile and my heart full of wishing to oppose - I know you are right. Germany have quietly - simply because no one would look and listen; just see and try mimic the giant pension reserves and savings - without understanding the reasons behind it - gained total EU control, through good fiscal policy and quiet determination - by which I mean, they are a nation of steadfast planners and savers. Past experience taught them that.
Is ideology. You would not be saying this if you believed FF could swing another election. It's your intrinsic right v left politics talking and it's too late mate .... your afraid Labour might take it ....
Having been brought up in a really depressed area during extremely depressed times - I can see mixed fortunes ahead for Ireland. If the government can introduce decent support for enterpreneurial grass roots business then we may see stronger local business emerge in the next 2-5 years, surely it is better to encourage business than simply support families on welfare. God knows there are enough empty business parks to lease. The O'Leary's and Smurfitts of this world need to be recognised as being necessary and vital to Ireland - they are only people left that the international economic world will even look at with a modicum of respect. Do my kids have a future here? I'll evaluate that in 2 years time, before deciding whether to relocate before they get to junior school. In the long term I think that Ireland will need to keep a grip on Keynesian economic style policy in its future.
No rank and file voter in this country would support a FF/FG merger - it would be an interesting way to guarantee a Labour majority propped by SF support.
I'll have the kids here and I assume my ex will be round but then for dinner he'll take them to his mother's. I am invited but I must be odd as I'm looking forward to having some time on my own... Being single doesn't bother me, except all my friends are married or in relationships and I've no one to go out and play with - I don't mind going out on my own locally but you'd feel a bit of a div in Galway or Ennis - guys get it easier that way.
definitely a pic and have an overhaul of your profile - it doesn't actually say anything about you - just the guy you want. Try saying a bit about yourself ... please don't think I'm being critical - I'm just trying to help!
