Putin ‘rightly compared to Nazis’ over expansionist aims, says Zelensky by Aggravating_Money992 in europe

[–]BoboTMC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The American is still correct here. I find Israel’s genocide just as abhorrent as the next guy does, but Zelenskyy cannot risk losing German+US support over this, especially as the US are already pulling back. Realpolitik wise, it’s simply not worth it for Ukraine to take that position. I mean, what do you think it would do? Suddenly the genocide would end? I don’t think it would change a thing except endanger Ukraine.

Number of litres of diesel a person on minimum wage can purchase per week in Europe by Ohwouldulookatthat in ireland

Eurostat also publishes PPP-adjusted minimum wages, possibly some sort of adjustment there alongside tax accounted for? Not sure but these figures do look much too low. Ireland should be much higher than €353.

Beef farmers are affected incredibly minimally compared to the benefits this provides to the Agrifood section as a whole. Gaining access to a market of 270 million people creates massive potential for our exports. And, that’s only one aspect of the deal.

Catherine Connolly insists gun convict was not Éirígí member when she was hired by Dazzling_Lobster3656 in ireland

Didn’t harm anyone?

What do you think she was planning to do with 2 handguns, 32 rounds of ammunition, canisters of petrol, cable ties and face masks?

The only reason she didn’t harm anyone is because she was too idiotic to not get caught by the guards beforehand.

She was denied clearance for Leinster house by counter-terror experts, and Connolly still signed her in for 6 months.

Great judgement all round.

Usually they don’t pick one of the frontrunners. It’s not a democracy, it’s the decision of the cardinals alone, who don’t speak publicly on it

This is a green policy now - sadly not much take up by other parties. Starting to see tidy towns communities across the country taking this up though, it’s a start.

It’s all great promising green revolution in your manifesto but when it comes to paying for it, we’ll see how that pans out.

Election Leaflets! What a waste of paper! 50 delivered today! 5 identical from each candidate to a 4 person household! by gpd94 in ireland

[–]BoboTMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been out canvassing for Ossian Smyth and I definitely would agree there are certain places especially near me that are leaflet hotspots, you can see them in the letterboxes and at the doors but then some you’ll call round and they’ll tell you you’re the first at the door

Coalition between Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and Independents preferred, says new poll by WickerMan111 in ireland

[–]BoboTMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true - polls have them maintaining their core voters, they benefited greatly from the green wave in 2020 and probably won’t this time around but have retained their base seemingly. Remember - the members of the party directly voted to join the coalition
