Sinn Fein can make eyes all they want and claim they're ready to go into government in a coalitiion but they're still on the outside p*ssing in. I can't understand why they'd want an election at this point. They've their own leadership contest to go through yet and the unknown aspect of that surely won't increase their vote at this point.

Others were a bit 80s to the point I could imagine one of them with a keyboard guitar. There was a bit of The Killers and Franz Ferdinand in there and then also some highly repetitive EDM. Overall they were alright as background music. Not really my thing and not something I'd put on but the sort I'd have no issue with. When I hear the words dance music, I immediately think of some guy plugging his iPod in and waving his hands in the air while some female pop singer repeats the same few lines over and over. The fact LCD Soundsystem actually play instruments is a big plus.

He'd come across as decisive and actually taking some action in the McCabe situation. I can only hope she resigns at this point for the greater good and any election is deferred. I find the SF motion of no confidence hilarious. Fair play to them for wanting to protect an honourable Garda like Jerry...I mean Maurice McCabe.

Buer wrote: » That's what I said; he has "missed an opportunity" At this point, it needs to be a resignation from Fitzgerald or nothing.
Buer wrote: » They may both be nationalist parties technically but there's pretty much zero in common between them. I'd eat my hat if they entertained it. FF held a vote at their ardfheis this year which specifically said they would not go into coalition with SF. Martin cannot break that vote; if he did, there would be a mutiny from party membership.

Buer wrote: » She's the leader in waiting but I really wouldn't rule out someone like Pearse Doherty who is a pretty competent and savvy operator (yes, the benchmark for success in Irish politics is "competent"). For all the dislike of Adams, the guy is quite charismatic and engaging. He has been a great leader for the party and, his past aside (a minor detail), will be a tough act to follow for the next leader.

Most I've spoken to say it is. Buying a house would be a little less expensive but would more of a practical move rather than one that my heart would be behind. Shame the whole house bidding process lacks any transparency...recently withdrew from a bidding process only to have the agent call back 2 days later saying I could have the house for my last bid. 2 days was enough to give me some clarity though and told him that my offer was now reduced by (approximately) 4%. He laughed and we said our goodbyes.
