- Irish European and Local Elections Review with the brother. Just a review of the recent elections.
A lot of disappointment but truth be told no surprise, with some positive signs as well.
A very enjoyable and entertaining analysis. Too true: those truther "troofer" types you mention are detrimental to the populist scene: utter mentallers.
Love the chat Lads. It's seems Lame Stream Media still holds sway in Ireland. It's a sad day for Irish Politics and the people. Going forward the number of Patriots running will have to be reduced.
Thanks Joseph........ yep agreed.
"Shit show" is right - can't stomach the sight nor sound of our political elite!
yep.....they def make your stomach turn
Traitors

I know @@thisdrinkinglife
absolutely spot on👏👏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
cheers David
fantastic show guys..
cheers David, appreciate it
Derek Blighe's result is one of greatest achievements in Irish elections. I bet it has rattled the establishment parties.
If our own elected TDs don't bother to vote in the migration pact we can't expect the lazy uninterested people to bother either! Its depressing only 50% care about our country and future.
yep, but thats life i guess......for better or for worse
Shame on non voters
Im a Boomer and l didnt vote for the big parties. I voted for independents.
The recent referendum had a good outcome, maybe due to boomers.
Also the water charges protests had a huge number of boomers, l saw it myself as I was part of the protests.
A lot of things are going the wrong way in the world today and we all need to push back.
Hopefully more boomers will see what is going on!
Good for you, well done.
Of course, when we were talking it was in general and in jest, but I think you get that!
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👏👏👏
cheers David
Great chat, booze brothers 😂
ha, thanks - i can assure you no beer was taken in the making of this content!
The Irish electorate always guaranteed to moan about everything but vote the same way.
I voted for no mainstream parties.
Either way it wont effect me as much as some but i have a clear conscience anyway.
yep....thats about it. thanks for the comment.
True. Irish voters are naive eejits.
@@Prodrive1 (Yep - youtube had this comment on hold! FFS)
This is a comment I left on another video but here it is again as You lads are on the same wavelength as myself: "Exact same sentiment here but honestly the satisfaction with the status quo lies squarely with those over the age of 60, those who have ridden the gravy train and of coarse been bought off with false promises, exaggerated claims and the slight increase in the pension and state allowances in general. What I don't understand is that the same age cohort that votes to support the status quo have children, many even have grandchildren at this stage. Do they honestly think that this country is set up in good shape for them? Do they even think about casting votes in those terms? The answer may be no as they are the same age cohort that watch RTE, read the establishment press and so forth. Now it really is therefore up to those under the age of 40 to vote really against the OAP block at this stage every person under the age of 40 must become an appreciable political block in this country or they will not be actually appreciated in any sense. This government works only for GAA, RTE and the OAP until those under 40 become a force to be appreciated then nothing will change short of Ireland being conquered by the Chinese."
Thanks for the comment, I fully agree with all that. Conditioned to the hilt, even if they have kids, they cant break that habit - like a crackhead - the pen will keep on ticking the box of ff/fg - Thankfully, for better or for worse, the under 40s are less influenced by RTE, etc ....
@@thisdrinkinglife You're analysis, which is rooted in very good common sense will be reinforced I think when we see more young people just exit the country after the consequences of what can at best be called neglect and piss-poor future proofing of the country will come to pass. The country, at least in Dublin, is totally captured by a corporate cabal but it gives no excuse for rural constituencies voting lock step for the establishment. Very short memories. The crackhead analogy is spot-on, its a totally captured mindset and the political class know it. They know the blind slavish loyalty to the GAA, RTE and dinosaur press is real, more real than the loyalty to the church at this point because, in typical Irish fashion, it requires the least amount of effort to change. Ireland's radical edge really was nipped in the bud very early after the foundations of the state and even then it was just a few brave people who went against the grain. A word of advice to any revolutionaries in Ireland, don't forget that it took very international thinking people to effect change here and they were not the type to be bought off by local creature comforts. They had to travel and so will those who want to really effect change here. The well-educated young exiting this country is an inevitable natural law at this point. I did it and came back better for it and sad to say I'll be doing it again before this decade is out.
@@MuonRay thats excellent MuonRay - yep i am well travelled and have lived in loads of different places - its when you live in a place like Switzerland, for example, where everything works and people dont rob each other blind - or in Warsaw - where the streets are safe - etc etc -that you begin to wonder "what if"
Jesus, i should get you on for a chat in the future, ha!
You lads just won't make the jump to what's obvious; the Irish can't handle democracy at all, when it comes to their own interests. The amount of time it will take our country to filter out the last of the biddy-boomer ilk...and shift the voting power towards the younger generations behind them...will take far too long, and the country will be long gone by then, demographically, ideologically and in terms of political will.
Our generation has youth on our side, and with youth, comes vigor and vitality. The very elements needed for an uprising, and I don't mean a democratic one. We need to start THAT conversation. But nobody wants to abandon the tried and tested format of failure, still clinging on to a process that will never allow our people take power through the ballot box.
thanks for the great comment. i cant say I disagree with what you said!
u reap what u sow..
Fantastic❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks Vannesa
I see the self proclaimed feminist Francis Fitzgerald was re elected to the European Parliament. Age 73. Fine Gaël.
Hands up who voted for her to promote feminism in Europe?
she shud be doing time in prison imho
Whole lot of them should be in prison
@@paulcolin9071 yep
Francis Fitzgerald elected, don't think so, it was 9 genders who got the FG slot.
yep, the new clone.....hard to tell them aside these days -
A low turnout in an election of a small country, and just nearly a week to count the ballot, go figure
part of the problem was they over complicated the process - they were weighing votes/boxes for example - but yes the long wait did take a mad amount of time tbf
Voter turnout was shocking, be interesting to see any contrast with the upcoming GE. Not quite related but voter turnout in the UK elections next week will also be interesting to see, regardless of outcome. Great chat/analysis lads keep the content coming.
thanks mate. Yes voter apathy is a big thing in elections these days. Id say in the UK it might reach 60%?
@@thisdrinkinglife yah, something like that, it was 67 percent ish in 2019. Any impetus for change should be aimed at increasing voter interest, somehow.
@@OLandB yep, sadly the people most affected by the policies of the bent politician's are the very ones that dont vote.....a bit annoying!
@@thisdrinkinglife Now ya said it. This was a great roundup, keep the content coming🤛
@@OLandB cheers!
I tried to warn you. Thanks for the votes, not enough this time. Study my vision and 26 point plan for the sake of our Irish People and nation and all nations of the world. Vote for me to represent you next time. Make Irish babies, prepare and have graceful fun 🕊️💚🙏☘️
ha, will try!
😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉fantastic annalasise
Only good thing is that in general the rest of Europe put in better people
yes, as we said - we will get there.....eventually.....
The French are the best. Le Pen looking good to take power this weekend and 7th July🎉🎉🎉
YT removing comments as usual.
what was your comment Catherine?
The Irish midlands are only started to feel the pain but a few more sites . A lot more votes for us its a start for us
small shoots for sure
Europe over the politicians are pretty simular in reality the thing is snipping from the background and not getting out there and putting yourselves forward is what you should be doing
Snipping, i am allowed to make comment surely.
As for participation - as said.....not really my thing..... one can only lead by example in their own personal and private life imho!
And ya got a special few lads for the shit show😂
Ye talk about the GAA and other stupid distractions. And then go on to applaud that the Euro's are on. Do ye not see the hypocrisy?
that flew over yer head, nope - we were not talking about that. sorry
@@thisdrinkinglife you were talking about the Irish being complacent and just happy that they have their GAA and late late show and all the other nonsense. And then you are delighted the Euros are on because you can get a break from the election and it came at the right time...... I can only show you. I can't understand it for you
@MMM-28-28 the irish are complacent, what's the argument?
@@MMM-28-28 compare joe duffy to joe rogan - compare bog ball to football - compare irish politics to European politics - you get the drift - it was about a way of thinking - a certain sophistication - the euros were a distraction for me - yes - but i wasnt talking about that for the boomers - i was talking about a certain way of life! a subtle difference! Lets say more pink floyd to your foster n allen? lol.....
@@thisdrinkinglife Bread and circuses are just that, bread and circuses. I just pointed out your obvious hypocrisy. Nah I don't like Floyd or Foster and Allen. I'm more Rory Gallagher
Voting was rigged end of
zombie nation? one of you said he voted Labour 🤣🤣
ah now - i thought my reasons were valid, dont you think? i still would never ever vote FF/FG.....so maybe give me some leeway, ha
Come up with an alternative..until then stop complaining
the alternative - were the new parties on the right, was that not clear to you?
otherwise - lead your life
@@thisdrinkinglifeI thought the new parties on the right where a bad joke 😂
@@owen-ck3bi some maybe - but i guess there is still a certain rawness to them at the start - it takes years of training to be as sophisticated as FG/FF/Greens - or not?!
I know you are frustrated, but unless you tone down the sarcasm, condescension and the language ( blaspheming), you will lose a lot of people. We have all been on a journey for a few years to figger things out. Sadly new arrivals were illegally given the vote and voted to perpetuate FF/FG /SF / Green etc. Independents and nationalist parties were too many and split the vote.
Thanks for the comment Fionnola - but thats how we roll - the name of the channel gives us leeway to do that, we dont take ourselves too seriously (nor should anyone either) and we are not here to influence or win anyone - its observations which one can take or leave - but I appreciate the comment.
As we said - yes illegals were given the vote which was totally undemocratic - but the Euro results show that the Irish and their voting intentions are a far bigger problem IMHO.
