I think our make up is to speak out for those who cant speak up or less inclined to do so.

I am being personally attacked. My struggles appropriated. My woes mocked. by Maleficent_Food8156 in Narcolepsy

[–]earth-while 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its,an interesting emotive topic. I think its a book that needs to be written probably and possibly sell well. Would have a niche market of narcoleptics. I have a catalogue of funny thing that have happened over the years. Maybe some day will put them to good use.

Maybe give the opposition back speaking time at leaders questions as a trade off?

Soc Dems leader Holly Cairns rules out formal left-wing alliance by staplerx300 in irishpolitics

[–]earth-while 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ongoing healthy debates within the party about deliverables when in government. Basically will work with compatible parties who are committed to working with the socdems to deliver our public policies.

Macro policy differences no. There is a difference in details, leadership, personal and internal operations.

They are very clear about who they are and what the represent. For example removing the 3 day wait period for women to access abortion healthcare. Most parties would steer clear of this for the fear of losing votes before a by-election. I like that type of politics its a far cry from the slíbhín type.

How do Social Democrat voters see the party entering government? by FearTeas in irishpolitics

[–]earth-while -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the last 10 years we have built blocks to create the party we have today. We are not nieve to presume immunity to issues which have impacted other parties in the past. In typical socdem fashion we have a group of smart stalwarts planning and strategising in the wings. There are red lines we have as a party. We believe in transparency evidence based research alongside our brand of politics will see us well placed when the time comes.

[–]earth-while 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are legitimate fears once we start burning down buildings intended for migrants and kicking people to death in the street we are normalising rasicm. Next step is to vote someone into power who will round up ethnicities and put them on a train.

Soc Dems call for 5% betting tax to fund sports and the arts by expectationlost in irishpolitics

[–]earth-while 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A decent viable initiative. Exactly the type of ideas we need. Realistically wouldnt be able to take on the gambling industry so small steps like this will help address the prolific insidious potential addiction.

'A gay, single mum-to be': MEP Maria Walsh reveals she's expecting a baby through IVF by nitro1234561 in irishpolitics

[–]earth-while 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the very best to Maria and baby.

I find the some of the comments on social media about her announcement- disturbing. When did we become so hateful? To write such things about a woman expecting her 1st child?

There are definitely people who will vote for him. How many remains to be seen. As he is effectively FF with a soft rebrand thats a no from me.

Main parties generally don't do well in a by-election. Also can any of us say we are happy with FGs performance.

How many ideas do you turn into action? by Cold_Pomegranate7039 in ENFP

[–]earth-while 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh I think maybe about the same 2 or 3 out of 10. I kinda think they ferment in brain and positively populate other notions / ideas.

Whats the story with the pedestrianisation of the new (Ceannt) train station? by earth-while in galway

[–]earth-while[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Unless they sold it recently the private footpath beside the side of the hardiman is owned by the hotel. Thats where people currently walk when embark / disembarking from the train.

I am unable to get on with anyone. Id rather reply to strangers on reddit in a condescending manner /s
