I would vote for a political party that abandoned Anglos Debt.

The Fianna Fail government took the decision to guarantee Anglos Debt without knowing the extent of Anglos rogue trading, true size of the debt & total inability to repay it.  At the time the total bill was estimated to be 4.25 billion (we are willing to discuss this amount).  We are now facing an estimated 34 billion, 8 times the guarantee promise.  The entities that loaned to Anglo were not naive school children.  They knowingly lent to Anglo being fully aware of the risk involved with the property bubble in Ireland. We the people did not have a laser or ATM card for Anglo Irish Bank. This was not a peoples bank; this was a cosy cartel for developers. We the people would have never benefited from the Anglo cartel profits, in fact we were negativity affected by these fat cats driving up the price of starter homes, making it near impossible for an average couple to afford a new home.

Why are we the people paying the debt of tycoons that employ specialist accountants to ensure that they themselves pay only 5% tax?

I would vote for a political party that told the lenders to Anglo that your investment was based on risk, and with all risk your investment can rise as well as fall.
