FrancieBrady wrote: » That particular kind of arrogance is one of the last remaining distinguishing things between FF and FG. You wouldn't hear that from a dyed in the wool FFer to be fair to them. Micheál has it, but then he was always closer to being a closet FGer than anyone else on his front bench.

Stay ‘arrogant’ folks, you will need to stay arrogant and feisty to stifle this lot and scupper their game plan. Stand up and be counted and don’t back down and be browbeaten by these bullies.

jmcc wrote: » The 11% or 20% opinion poll issue is a problem. With the opinion polls using telephone/online polling. FF polls around 11% support because its older support base is less likely to respond. With face to face polling, FF polls closer to 20%. The problem with the Covid lockdown is that face to face polling is not really possible so FF's opinion poll rating is going to be closer to 11% and that's bad for Martin. these low polls for FF will be used by those who want to get rid of him. If they succeed, and the lockdown restrictions are relaxed after that, then when F2F polling resumes, FF will appear to have more support and it will give whoever succeeds Martin a bit of a boost. That could be highly problematic for FG because the newly emboldened FF might consider its position in the FFG deal and opt for an early election. Regards...jmcc

(True if said election happens very soon). It wasn't long when other papers reporting complete dissatisfaction amongst FF party ranks, 2 reporting 80% of FF TD'S want Meehol gone by 2022 (possible the lot of them gone by then). I've no affiliation with any Party but if there was ever an example of a party walking itself in the abyss this must be it. Fair to say a poison chalice offered and grabbed with Gusto but LEAKY Leo should have been put in his box on the first attempt at undermining the very government he help set up, too late now. Sadly their combined incompetence and Lust for power has partly led to this quite shocking Covid 19 mess.

You're 24 hours here bashing FFG and Leo. Surely you have things to criticise other parties with seems you spend so long analysing all the politics of the day????
