Lol!Use your vote.
We probably need to go further than that. (flawed system)Start a new political party.
so?A tax strike is illegal.
Any suggestions as to how we can start the process of dismantling the Irish government? I like the 'tax strike' idea.
To answer a couple of points:I don't get how your list of points are reasons for us all to get upset.
I would regard owning a car as a necessity. There is no way I could live in this country without a car. The public transport system is dire. If people do not directly own a car, they probably rely on others that do.VRT hits car owners, many would consider owning a car to be a luxury
I don't want a welfare state, but I'm forced to pay for one. I never seem to be entitled to anything. I pay all these PRSI contributions for nothing.Many people do not want a welfare state

I spoiled my vote in the last general election, so I do not respect the outcome.
+1one other thing - how could this list not make people upset? Yet again due to terrible leadership we will end up with another gerneration of irish people having to leave. This makes me furious.
nobody is forcing you to live in a part of the country with no public transport.
If people like you used their vote correctly and all those who couldnt be bothered voting actually voted, then we might not be in the mess we're in. If you dont vote or spoil a vote, you have no right to complain.

Good point, I as just thinking the same thing.Nazi germany and fascist Italy arose because people were disillusioned and reacted in a knee jerk fashion to what they believed were failed systems.

The people who did vote in the government are the ones responsible. I spoiled my vote because it was the only logical option to me. My conscience is clear in this regard.If people like you used their vote correctly and all those who couldnt be bothered voting actually voted, then we might not be in the mess we're in. If you dont vote or spoil a vote, you have no right to complain.

Rubbish
There is a finite list of candidates on a ballot paper. You HAVE to choose one if you want to exercise your vote without spoiling. To lump vote spoilers in with people who refuse to vote is plain silly. People who spoil their votes are often indicating that they WANT to take part in the process but feel that that there is nobody suitable to represent them.
And don't come back with "well then run for election yourself" - the whole system is party based - it is next to near impossible to get elected as an independent TD in this country. Most of the indepedent TDs we have are former party members who have since scratched enough backs to get in off their own bat next time out.
There should be an option on the ballot paper to indicate your unhappiness with the current list of options and if, say 25% of voters choose this option then a re-run should be held with entirely new candidates.

Well, should that in itself not suggest something?Say you do have a "none of the above" option on the ballot and the "none of the aboves" win?
