FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

I never mentioned a guarantee, but even on the polls, there are still one seat for FG and one seat for FF. So where will the Mica voters bleed votes from??

I seem to recall a lot of Shouting, roaring and bullying on numerous occasions coming from the Government benches in the Dail recently 🤔

Not at all sure our Government have gone into Phase 2 of their Virtue signalling nonsense yet, still focusing on matters closer to home, but not it would seem, matters that actually effect the lives of the Electorate.

The Three Virtue signalling Cheer leaders will be long gone when the shocking bill comes in re rebuilding a country they didn't give a Toss about 7 months ago

Shocking to think some feel 14% of the Population are utterly irrelevant, we'll soon see about that 😏 Turf only one matter seriously upsetting Rural Voters, can't wait for FFGG TD'S to come. A knocking on my door, albeit, I think many just won't bother knocking on door's.

To explain it in simple terms for the FFG supporters, it is not the dinosaur politicians in FFG that count but rather the people who vote for them. (A bit Hemmingwayish but it is a valid point.)

Some of those voters are affected by Ryan's turf brainfart and many of those voters will have family members who are affected by it. That means that their vote for the FFG dinosuar politicians are not guaranteed and some of these FFG dinosaur politicians could lose their Dail seats as a result of Ryan's war on turf. They realise that they may be turfed out.

Must be rather frustrating for Leo, looking at the coverage re the DPP decision, you'd think it would be thrilling news, people would just move on, forget about this rather long and protracted affair.

Without exception, the reporting and indeed impressions given mention the end of the Prob but primarily focus on the long term damage its done, he retains that oft used Name and the narrative, overwhelming one of, Yeah, But, No, But yeah.

Leo had presumably thought it was just those nasty political opponents out the get him, not quite it seems and the disgust at what occurred widespread and won't be forgotten any time soon 😏

ROFL the angry ‘you’re a Putin bot if you criticise us 😁😁

Not the kind of interview that would be seen on Our Friends In The Dail (aka The Week In Politics). Aine Lawlor tried to present the FFG angle and was demolished. Even the Leo The Leak question failed. RTE is going to have a serious problem with SF if it gets into government after the next GE. SF is just completely out of RTE's class when it comes to spin.

That mica issue, along with the turf war, is going to hit FFG hard. Though SF may not succeed with the MNOC, FFG may be facing a lot of internal disquiet. The leadership challenge against Martin seems to be underway in FF. The DPP decided not to prosecute Varadkar and that's not the same as Varadkar being cleared in a court of law because Varadkar leaked the document and admitted to leaking the document. That whole "one rule for them and another for us" perception is going to be increasingly damaging as the effects of higher fuel and food prices kick in over the Autumn. I think that there's another poll due on Sunday so that might ruffle a few feathers if the %s are bad for FFG.

There’ll be some bargaining and jockeying for position going on in FF as a result of the VONC. 😁

True. :) Which of them gets to replace the useless Martin? It wouldn't be in the least surprising to see some FFers vote against the government to save their own seats.

It is a cultural thing. That's what fundamentalists like Ryan don't understand. Most FFG TDs understand this. The problem is that FFG is still dependent on Green votes. If Labour (always a grotty bunch who were more interested in ministerial salaries and pensions than policies) had done as well as its supporters in the media had wanted, it might have been an FF/FG/Labour government. The problem with dealing with ideologically driven parties like the Greens in such a situation is that these smaller parties have a stranglehold over government policies.

It's shocking, absolutely shocking, I'd love to know what Carbon emissions are from Home heating Oil, the alternative Eamonn Ryan bizzarely suggested those dependent on Turf move to.
