I think SF and the opposition are being easy on them because it is a crisis. But it sounds to me that they are playing this by ear and have no real idea what way it is going or have a plan for it.
TheCitizen wrote: » :pac: That's the one. Bookmarked. Micheál actually softened his stance towards a potential coalition involving SF when the figures started coming out and the projections were that FF would be about 7 seats ahead of SF. Things changed dramatically a day or two later when it turned out there was only one seat between the two and SF had a greater overall share of the vote, that's when Jack Chambers and Jim O'Callaghan came back on the media with the hardline "no deal with SF" spiel. Micheál also returned to his "no deal with SF stance" but u turned on his "No Deal with FG stance". They are so transparent.

Look at that and then look at the carry on up the North, nobody in their right mind would touch them.....After that every party made a run for it. FG came out and said they wanted to go into opposition etc etc....
Mr Varadkar earlier said the rise in numbers of cases “cannot be stopped” and the Government had moved to secure extra ventilators to preserve life.

I don't agree with an awful lot of their policies (or SFs proposals), however I think the handling of all this is being done as well as anyone could have done. If be for a proper left alternative, not some make up version that SF have adopted because it suits them at present. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but SF wouldn't have been shutting down flights, borders etc, and may have done things exactly the same bit we don't know. They'll say in a few months time they were calling for all the toughest measures but they weren't. I think them staying quiet at first was a little acknowledgement that this thing take precedence over all else and just let it be dealt with. Then that moron in Blanch shot his mouth off and the ludicrous spiel started spilling out from SF. They were better off saying nothing, and should've made a statement along the lines of "No time for party politics etc, all in this together, anyway we can help and advise , we are more than happy to do so" Leo and Simon Harris have no choice but to carry on in their positions. The election arguably couldn't have come at a worse time. mehole trying to scramble together a government whole this was being dealt with too just smacked of misplaced opportunism People can talk about the fg spin machine, but the SF one is as much in play and at present, given the current, unprecedented crisis we are all in, is a dangerous and needless one to be running. SF ultimately want a united Ireland. That's their end game. But theyre very much at odds with what about 70% of people actually support.

Senior Minister asking for time to come up with such a list. :eek: Confused? Tune in next week for more.
