        Normally I would have been a FG voter, as most of the time, FG policies alligned with my own ideas. However, this time, I can’t vote FG. Why?
        Policies on the Irish language
        Promise to repeal stag hunting ban
        No full marriage rights for gays – they have to make do with civil partnership

        There are more, but these 3 are enough to have lost my vote.

          I think a lot of what FG are promising is election bluffing….FG are not REAL change, and I don’t see them making any decent impact on the mess we’re in, we shold never have been saddled with the bankers debt
