FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

It's delicious.

He's rather inoffensive and that's his advantage. Martin always appears like a school teacher lecturing a class. He was never any threat to Ahern even when Cowen was made Ahern's successor. It was only when FF began to fall apart that Martin made his move to replace Cowen. It is interesting that no replacement candidate has made any move yet. There seems to be a process of sounding out possible supporters underway in FF. Removing Martin will not fix the main problem with FF. It is simply losing support.

And delightful 😏

Martin saw that FG would rehabilitate the party. because in order to cling to power they have to pretend they are two different parties. The 'sham civil war parties' etc etc Both of them need to exist in order to survive.

They clung on the coat tails of one another pretending to offer something different. I think they have been rumbled because they were forced to coalesce/merge/marry or whatever you want to call it,

Was Helen or Heather not available for the Ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, they live nearby 🤔 perhaps Golden photo opportunities delayed till Tuesday 🙄

If the polls are anyway correct there is going to some mess trying to bring a government together next time seems a lot of voters are going to waste a vote by chooosing an independent .

I won't pretend to understand all this stuff re agricultural emissions, so I'll leave that to you and others who know more about it 😏 I just read there was tensions from FFG TD'S

If the Turf thng scared rural TDs, this is going to have them in brown trousers territory. The FF/FG TDs are definitely going to start putting the boot in on the Greens.

I've been genuinely impressed by her, very passionate, full of empathy and sincerity and determined. Actually a true independent. I'm assuming an excellent constituency TD 🤔 and made the best speech at the MONC despite the disrespectful heckling from a few bullies across on the government benches. I'd like to have seen who they were.

It's just the targets for now but it is the way the government are going on this. The Greens may leave a lot to be desired in how they communicate some of this stuff and just how far they want to go but it does set the environmental agenda for the next 8 years.

A new government will find it impossible to reverse them, especially in light of global commitments on warming. These TDs may find some comfort in how these things are ultimately negotiated and they'll probably be involved in them, even if it's only to claim the successful outcomes.
