What unnerves us cronies about Sinn Fein is their highly researched, evidence based approach to policy making

FFG are intellectual light weights, & that’s really why us cronies love them

Us cronies just want tax breaks + loosey-goosey government contracts & FFG always delivers https://twitter.com/eobroin/status/1344981545585696768
Applying international best practices to housing or health - policies that are proven to work elsewhere - would change Ireland for us cronies

Sure 99% of people would benefit, but us cronies wouldn’t

It’s for that reason that we whip our media lapdogs into scare-mongering
The last thing us cronies want is actual policy debate on our airwaves in Ireland

Thankfully for decades we’ve been able to rely on the likes of RTE, the Irish Times etc to endlessly focus on anything but serious policy discussion

And to never hold anyone in FFG to account
I think much of the media have done an excellent job persuading much of the Irish middle and upper middle classes that their interests are the same as the interests of us cronies

Nothing of course could be further from the truth...
In 2021 Irish cronies will be quietly hoping all those earning say perhaps €60k to perhaps €250k a year don’t suddenly realise that by supporting FFG they’re really just voting for us cronies, and not at all in their interests

Hopefully 2021 is not the year the spell wears off
