Although I dislike the woman , I would have phrased it differently. Name calling is not helpful

Averil Power is a breath of fresh air who makes no apologies for the older Fianna Fail's mistakes, or, rather, wrongdoings. I'm not sure why someone would take a particularly vehement line against her with the likes of Willie O'Dea and Barry Cowen festering in the vicinity of the members bar.

How is that fresh? She chose to join FF and stayed with FF, scandal after scandal, week after week as they drove the country into the ground. Shows her standards nicely.

And she was rejected by the electorate.

The only thing sadder then the old incompetent corrupt loyalists in FF are the young people who want to join them.

Fianna Fail is older, bigger, and has historically been more relevant than Lenihan, Cowen, McCreevy, Ahern and Haughey combined. Unfortunately, they make up a considerable part of FF's history, and that is to be lamented. As far as I can see, Averil Power laments that, and she also laments the parish pump politics on which Fianna Fail, and all the main parties, have traditionally been aligned with - and indeed she has maligned the party for that reason. In that respect I would congratulate her.

I've said it before and I will say it again, it is bloody hard work starting off a new party from scratch with no funding, no political base, no experience and no historical origin (unfortunately, yes, this does often matter). What could, and should, happen to FF is a political hijacking by people who want to take the part back to the party of Lemass. I would vote for that party, i suspect a lot more people would vote for it than voted for the recent hangers-on in the 2011 election. To use a rather tired idiom, but somewhat appropriate in the case of Averil Power and the more enthusiastic Ogra Fianna Fail, it isn't necessarily in our best interests to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Breath of fresh air!

That must be why when she was canvassing in my area she had that old parasite Michael Woods in tow.

How has this thread remained open?

There are many things that have a proud history before they became corrupted beyond recognition (without invoking Godwin the Swastika comes to mind) and after the corruption it's usually wiser to start afresh, but like you point out below that'd be the hard path.. And I'd first have to agree that FF have a proud history, Dev dragging the country into an unwanted civil war after the people democratically chose to accept Collins treatyis not much to be proud of, that and his wealth accumulation.

So she is admirable because she has taken the easy route?

Ogra FF are the most self deluded section of our society IMO
