    Been confirmed by biffo that the annihilation of FF will take place on the 11th March.

    Its certain to be the most enthralling election ever in the state with the obliteration of the strongest national party in the history of the state and the emergence of the left.

    I have a suspicion there will be a glut of independents in the 31st Dail.

    I am going to put a laminated notice on the door of my house to tell each and every one of those pr*ck politicians to make sure they ring the bell so that i can give them dogs abuse on how they have brought us to our knees, be they FF, the Greens or the current Opposition !! The misses is pleading with me not to, but its the only real chance that i have to give them a piece of mind ...... the fcukers !!

    My business has been raped, the health service is a disaster, the level of unemployment is truly shocking, the degree that the taxpayer must fund the wrong doing of the banks is criminal........... :mad::mad::mad:

    I encourage everyone to do the same and let every single one of them know how angry people are.

    I am in Dublin South ...... and there is not one fecker that i would vote for at this moment.

    End of rant !!

    I would urge you to use your vote though, FF are hoping people dont vote so they might retain some seats using their pensioners votes.

    I agree with you here Prendy, its important everyone gets out and votes, no matter how disillusioned they feel. It's about time the people of Ireland sent a message to Fianna Failure that they have messed up this country and we aren't going to listen to their sh*te anymore...

    Electoral Register.

    As the election is seven weeks away..its important that everyone exercises their right to vote,in whatever way they choose.
    But check if you are on the electoral register first..if your not..then you must register before you can vote.

    More info here:
    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/e...and_referenda/voting/registering_to_vote.html

    The supplement to the Register of Electors

    If your name is not on the Register of Electors in February, you may still make an application to be included in a supplement to the Register on form RFA2 (pdf).

    You can make this application at any time, but in order to be included in the supplement used at an election, your application must be received by your local authority at least 15 days before polling day (Sundays, public holidays and Good Friday are not counted as days for this purpose).

    You can apply for inclusion on the supplement as a result of changing address on form RFA3 (pdf). This will also remove you from the register for your previous address.
