Good man Joe . Now is the time for Irish people to move away from centrist partys and embrace the Left.

Well done! We are with you!

@TheJdwan I'm a man in the street and there's no way I'd want O'Leary running anything to do with government. He'd lower the minimum wage so much he would have us all working for food. he'd cap old age pension at 70 and cut off anyone older to fend for themselves.

@TheJdwan thats why Churchill lost the election after the war and the English people massivley voted him out and voted in a left wing Solcalist prime minister, Clement Atley. if Churchill could learn from his mistakes why can't you learn from his mistakes.

Only a mixture of real capitalism and socialism can work. Capitalism on its own is too open to courruption and the same with socialism.

You have my vote joe!

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Winston Churchill

[TheJdwan]

We need entrepreneurs and people vision and talent to create jobs and wealth for this country to get out of this situation.Ask the man in the street if they would want Micheal O'Leary or Joe Higgans running the country and we all know how they would pick Micheal O'Leary.

[TheJdwan]

How many jobs and his socialist ilk ever created.It says a lot that in the worst econmic strife the country has ever faced that the socialist party only got two Tds elected.And dont mention the ULA as Joe , Mick Wallace and RBB got elected on persoanl charisma rather than Ideology.

Irish people just dont buy into the easy answers and the class war they advocate.

@riseabovethehun not to be bad but i think the laft and the right are the same. once in power it brings corruption in many forms. they will be forced to fuck us all in the ass because we all have family and friends. i.e. the ones in power have had a long time to think of ways to keep that power either through manipulation and threats.

if ya dont get this then ask yourself whats a real political person he/she is dead JFK + family, Diana, julian assange, etc... oh hes not dead yet but ya get it

The Irish Association of Pensions Funds has stated that the pension charges are a precursor for the government putting a levy on deposits. The question is do you think the government has the effrontery to take money from the citizens’ deposits in their banks? If you think it is possible that the government will place a levy on your bank deposits, as I do, I would urge you to take your money from your banks before the government takes a portion from you.

Give the Irish presidency more power, then vote Joe Higgins for President!

He's a hero ... listening to Fascist Gael's attacks on his policies makes me sick. Go Joe!!
