One year's worth of Margaret Thatcher/Michael O'Leary should sort out the unions and public sector.
If he was running the country we'd all probably have medical cards and a tip top first class health system for the citizens not for vested interests. He'd get rid of all the ministers, committees, subcommittes, quangos and we probably would be able to implement legislation by email vote. We might even have one (at least) motorway if he was in power and a tram system that linked with itself. And planning laws that can not be sidelined by whether you are 'linked' to the county or what you can hand the local county councillor in a brown envelope - long live Ireland the land of the bungalow. He'd also probably convert the carpark that is a semi circle around dublin into a ring road.Might as well get Dustin the Turkey or Ming the Merciless to run the whole show if the best anyone can come up with is Michael O'Leary. He is arrogant and unsympathetic. There would be no such thing as medical cards for the elderly and everyone would be living on a pittance if he was in charge. Cop on.
Funnily enough, I'd nearly vote for Michael myself, just for the sheer schadenfreude of watching him crash and burn as he realises that he can't bully and browbeat his way through the entire country. It's probably a moot point, mind you, as I'm sure he is smart enough to stay out of politics.If he was running the country we'd all probably have medical cards and a tip top first class health system for the citizens not for vested interests.

That alone should be qualification enough to run the country.It's probably a moot point, mind you, as I'm sure he is smart enough to stay out of politics.
If he could just get the government running the country again and the not builders, civil servants and public sctor unions I'd be happy.Funnily enough, I'd nearly vote for Michael myself, just for the sheer schadenfreude of watching him crash and burn as he realises that he can't bully and browbeat his way through the entire country.
Hey, let's not stop there - let's make sure all those nasty old folks, all those students, all those parents concerned about the size of the kids classes and all citizens in general stop interfering and cheekily telling the Govt what they expect. That our democracy thing is such a pain.If he could just get the government running the country again and the not builders, civil servants and public sctor unions I'd be happy.
I disagree but then again I am a democrat; I want the people in charge, not unions, builders, the INO and other vested interest groups.Hey, let's not stop there - let's make sure all those nasty old folks, all those students, all those parents concerned about the size of the kids classes and all citizens in general stop interfering and cheekily telling the Govt what they expect.

I'm actually ejoying watching FF run the country these days.
It's great to see them stewing in their own juice for a change.
Sorry to break the bad news, but the unions/builders/INO/other VI groups are people.I I want the people in charge, not unions, builders, the INO and other vested interest groups.

Strange - I don't recall too many unions striking in recent years? Perhaps it is the 1980's you're thinking of?Yep, but they get one vote each, just like the rest of us...
Then they get to sit around the table of government (social(ist) partnership), lobby and back slap (builders etc at fund raisers), or hold the country to ransom (Unions (again)) by striking because they don't like the big raises they got from the supposedly independent process THAT THEY AGREED TO!
Nurses and teachers have gone on strike over the last few years. Don't you remember?Strange - I don't recall too many unions striking in recent years? Perhaps it is the 1980's you're thinking of?
LOLJust for the craic - Ayatollah Khomeini.
Civil Service then will be the least of your worries.
