How to Purchase an Election in Ten Easy Steps.

category national | politics / elections | news report author Monday October 30, 2006 15:55author by MavisB Report this post to the editors

Parts One and Two: The Enforcer and Education.


Ex- Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald, who may be remembered in the Fair City as
the bureaucrat appointed by FF to oversee the estimates and ensure the liquidation
of local 'democracy' in the absence of agreement on the annual estimates..... has been
appointed to bring back 'Law and order' to the environs of Limerick city.
Including, it seems Moyross, it is presumed that the man with the plan- (unelected again)
will co-ordinate activites of the various services to maintain enough discipline to get
FF through an election......Yippeeee


FF/PD brought about the Local Government Bill, a cupla years ago which made the councils
responsible for the wage slips of employees. abolished the dual mandate, did not look
at the possibility of directly elected mayors and appointed a bureaucrat to ensure compliance.

All went swimmingly by all accounts.
People went to prison for refusing to pay waste charges.
Every year bets were taken on whether the council would be abolished in the absence of agreement,
therby allowing Fitzgerald (the enforcer) to gain control of the council for the
Government and run it for the cronies.

He has since left that little job and has been employed in the non-mandated
position of enforcer/co-ordinator of the return to power of the FF nexus in the South
yes! 9mm Willy has a new friend. The schoolyard bully will take care of him and ensure
everything is grand until after an election and a historic third term for FF.

Willie won't need the gun anymore to prove phallic ability.

Meanwhile Ms Hanafin- after a huge underspend on state schools, and a reign of
underwhelming decrepitude is applying for re-election on the basis of appointing
80 liasion officers.

Whoop de Doo- what will Dempsey do in Meath?

Rossport /Erris can't vote that fucker out .

Please note that all fraudulent election tactics come with a disclaimer-
They are for a short period to discomfit the voter and when its over the Thatcherite
robbing and grabbing will continue.
