I think Oliver Callan is 100% right when he refers to Newstalk and Newsgob. I hate listening to a 'Bennis O'Drien' owned organisation. I've given up on listening to Hook but I can't part with Pat Kenny or Ivan Yeats but I wish they were free to speak their mind on all issues, they rarely say anything remotely critical of Dinny.
Well, it hasn't done Pat Kenny much good, as his numbers are down!
Seán O'Rourke's, incidentally, have increased by thousands!!

I'd say he was totally right. Nobody could have known that Burton would have caught Kenny by the liathróidí and make him change his mind
You'd wonder why though. Fine Gael are a bunch of mercenaries. It wouldn't matter a feck to them how badly Labour are doing in the polls. There's not much chance of a FG/Lab coalition being returned, irrespective of whether the election takes place in November or March. Maybe Joan hid the key to Enda's fridge full of Lilt?

No, but Kenny still wants Labour to ask for second-preference votes to go to FG.Harry Angstrom wrote: »You'd wonder why though. Fine Gael are a bunch of mercenaries.

Of course, Labour would be so delighted to get your vote at all, that their candidates won't give a sh1te what you do with your your preference votes0 -
A list system is all well and good, but who'll fix the ****ing road???
It doesn't surprise me that Ivan Yates would prefer a list system. He strikes me
as someone who was too lazy to do the usual donkey work associated with
being a politician - all would be ok with him once handed to him on a plate.
What work had he really put in before he was made Minister for Agriculture by John Bruton?
IIRC, he was being touted as a possible Taoiseach back in those halcyon days! It must be killing
him that his former room-mate, who used 'to sleep until midday', is the one who made it to the top!!
Pat Kenny, back in his glory days in RTE, once interviewed a German political
observer who did not approve of what he saw of the list system in his country.
As I recall it, he actually said that German politicians could learn from the Irish
system! The problem with the list system was that those on it were cut off from the concerns of
ordinary people and you could forget about your potholes, etc, being fixed! As these guys knew
they would be put on the list without being elected by the people, they did not have to concern
themselves with any of their problems. A scenario which would suit Ivan very well, I imagine!!
