    Leo Varadkar is finished, FG will be out of government for quite a while.

    I'd say they are happy enough with that. Let the Left work it out, and let FF shun their core principle of not going anywhere near SF.

    Another election beckons. I am not a SF supporter but I really want to see them fulfil their manifesto and solve all our problems, and keep their elected nutters at bay at the same time.

    May we live in interesting times.

    You've no clue. The Israeli government isn't a race. As said the other day when Kenny was making the N word joke nobody tried to say all of FG were ignorant racist idiots...sit down ffs.

    And was fairly adamant that FG would waltz back into govt.

    Another election will almost certainly return an even greater number of seats for the shinners, especially how MM and Leo are carrying on.

    Both are, imo finished regardless.

    I don't know why people still pay attention to that very obvious troll.

    It's not anti Semitic to be outspoken on Israel's actions, being anti Semitic is being hostile against the Jewish religion, or Jewish people in general.

    Israel could be occupied and ran by a gang of born again Mormon evangelist Buddhists, and you could still call or their actions against Palestinians.

    Anti Semitic, the back of my sack.

    Have you seen her comments and retweets? Where she said Jewish backers were controlling Hitler and put him into power? Are you seriously defending her?

    Can you provide some links to back up your claim? I know she criticised Israel, that is a valid postion to hold. The UN has also on many occasions criticised Israel in multiple occasions.

    It will be another insult to the irish electorate if Mary Lou does not lead the next government after tonights vote in the dail.

    Leo and Martin are busted flushes. It is clear change is needed and wanted.

    She has recently blocked access to all her tweets, so no, I can’t provide links. Not the actions of someone with nothing to hide.

    So you can't back up your claim, seems unreasonable to make an unsubstantiated allegation so.

    Herself, Mary Lou and Pearse McDoherty were falling over themselves trying to apologise for her today. But nothing to see here.

    Again you made an unsubstantiated allegation, with no evidence to back up your claim. As I said many have criticised Israel for its behaviour in dealing with the Palestinians, this criticism should not be used to accuse the critic as being a Holocaust denier. Sounds like a new tactic to close down debate concerning present Israeli behaviour.

    About as likely as SF being in govt. From RTE:

    Ms McDonald was the third candidate, but she too failed to win enough support, with 45 votes in favour, 84 in opposition and 29 abstentions.

    Adds up to 158. CC has no voting rights. So one TD missing.

    If the lady in question makes her legacy tweets public again without any cleansing then I’ll provide proof.

    She claimed Jewish bankers controlled and put Hitler into power. Israel did not exist in the 1930’s, you attempt to muddy the waters is not working.

    The Dáil is littered with people who were allowed to move on from 'saying the wrong thing' 'financial dodgyiness' and other improprieties.
    The lady has apologised and stated these are no longer her views.

    Hoping SF will be able to form a Gov after the inevitable (I think) next election.

    To be fair, they need a chance to prove their manifesto and their approach to solving all our ills. Change is good but needs to be proven too.

    Onwards we go!

    Possibly, though my money is on FF/Green/Independents, maybe with SD thrown in. Good odds on Paddy Power too.

    That's kind of convenient. A lot of people will be skeptical though. I'd rather if someone was honest about their views rather than pretend they no longer have those views, just to suit the audience. That's the last thing I can tolerate.

    She didn't. Stop your lying.

    Her exact words were "Those wars were instigated and funded by the banks of royal families of Europe."

    She didn't say what you claimed, nor did she deny the holocaust like you also claimed. She may be a gobshite, that bangs on about fluoride in the water and other nonsense. But she's nowhere near what you are lying about.

    Until more tweets from her come out, there is nothing to suggest what you're saying has any truth to it. But I suspect you're just another re reg troll, who's content has left a lot to be desired so far.

    The fact that they were ever her views (all of the nonsense that's been dragged up) suggests she is unsuitable to hold public office. Easily lead and reactionary.

    Skepticism about the real beliefs of politicians is something that is healthy to have. All of them.

    The point I was making that she has done what others have done and have been allowed to move on. And nobody tried to imply that a TD speaking out of line represented the views of the party. But that seems to be always the case with a Shinner when one of theirs messes up.

    Make your own mind up about that.

    Convenient that you can say with certainty that she didn’t say x or y when her tweets have been made private.

    Let’s see the proof that I am lying.
