In this episode, Niall asks the big question: With Roderic O’Gorman and the rest of the government showing no regrets about the recent surge in migration, who’s got your vote? Many feel that Sinn Féin wouldn’t have done much differently, while the independents seem to lack enough influence. As the next election looms, Niall explores who the public is turning to and why.Callers express growing frustration with the mainstream political parties. Some are fed up with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, claiming they no longer listen to the concerns of the people, and Sinn Féin is not seen as a real alternative. Many callers are throwing their support behind independents, arguing they are the only politicians still representing regular citizens and not bound by the agenda of the bigger parties. There’s a sense that the political system needs a fresh perspective, and that the independents could bring about meaningful change.On the other hand, some remain skeptical of the independents, questioning whether they have enough power to make a real difference. They express frustration with the political deadlock, but others are unsure who could truly steer the country in a better direction.Niall wraps up by reflecting on the deep sense of dissatisfaction many voters are feeling. With the big parties struggling to inspire confidence, the upcoming election could see more support for independents, but will they have the influence needed to enact real change? Only time will tell.
