McMurphy wrote: » Thinking? I'm pretty sure it's what he tweeted, that's thinking out loud dude. Leo can think whatever he likes all day long whilst his nuts still hang down dude, it's when he tweets his thoughts on a fairly public platform, such as the twitter machine, he's sharing his thoughts with the rest of us, and they warrant a discussion, on a discussion site. It's not over convoluted nor complicated to understand Brenner, and it's not obligatory to respond with scutter.

Hugely proud to be a member of a political party who have done so much for this country. Divorce, gay marriage, abortion rights, recognition of the travelling community as an ethnic minority; a State apology to the women who spent years in the laundry system - all delivered under FG governments. Hugely pro the European Union, and our place within it. A focus on balancing the books, while still delivering the largest increases in inward investment, health budget, and social welfare. A party that was founded on the principal of having a Republic of equals. A proper party of Christian/Social democracy.

Brilliant. When you run out of argument, throw up something completely unrelated. You're the gift that keeps on giving.:D

The ruling party of Hungary's right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been suspended by the European Parliament's biggest grouping in a row over defiance of EU policies. In an almost unanimous vote, the European People's Party (EPP) agreed to withdraw Fidesz's voting rights.
Leaders of the European People's Party on Monday agreed to extend the suspension of Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party indefinitely. A majority of EPP party leaders who gathered in Brussels for their party’s annual political assembly lent their support to EPP President Donald Tusk’s decision to prolong the suspension of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s party over concerns about the rule of law in Hungary and anti-Brussels rhetoric.

Didn't I say something about arguments running out of steam - and how people might resort to throwing up irrelevant auld shyte.

I find the railing against Twitter here hilarious. I love twitter as if cannot be controlled. If we had blue hugh and the likes of the Spindo and Irish times to rely on you might aswell be living in an alternative universe as their views and narratives bare very little semblance to reality. They are working now as the PR wing of the FG party.

I think Varadkar is a bit of a spoofer, and think Coveney (SC) has a bit more substance to him, but it's far from guaranteed SC would have done better in the election. Had SC been made leader, this would have been coming off his his stint in housing and does anyone think their opponents would not have made hay during the election with this? The main issues of health and housing would still have existed and I recall some here talking about SC having a poor performance on TV during the campaign (although I didn't see it). For all his faults, Leo performed fairly well in the GE debates.
