FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

Green party guy on Tonight show all over the place. Tried to blame the media for ramping up the tensions within government, got sat back down on his ass when told it was a Green Party chairperson that said today 'they would walk if the limits were below 25%.

Guess that the Greens won't be getting that 25%.

I think the Greens will be thrilled at getting 25% of anything, especially polls 😁

Put on that Tonight show for a the first time in a long time. See that Cooper and Yates are gone. There seems to be a lot of pressure from FF/FG to make sure that the % is under 25%. A 25% figure might have FF and FG backbenchers putting the boot in on Martin and Varadkar.

A jmcc were have you been 😁 Yates and Cooper long gone 😁

A yes , Vincent was a legend , I still occasionally look at some you tube content , there's stuff there that should make many current TD'S cringe 😬

There's a big difference between the science of climate change and the religion of climate change. The religion of climate change attracts idiots looking for certainty. Science is not about certainty and the even stupid things like that completely bogus '97% of "scientists" agree' thing was picked up like an article of faith. The sample size was too small among other things. The religion of climate change provides simple answers for simple people. As can be seen above with markodaly's lies and misrepresentation of the posts of others, the whole "climate change denier" thing has become nothing more than the modern equivalent of religious fanatics screaming 'heretic'. The problems of climate change and food security need proper analysis, joined-up thinking and workable solutions. (The Green TD seems to be doing well on the show.)

How is he doing well???

He hasn’t been asked one hard question.

Just nodding along like the boyfriend out with his missus and her friends.

Clueless.

Who can forget Hit the road Jack 😂

Yep. Even John Paul Phelan/FG was talking about resiging the whip. The problem with the Greens is that they are largely a Dublin party and driven by people, who to use Phelan's colourful phrase, couldn't tell a cow from a donkey. That's the problem with purely ideological types. Their ideas rarely work. FG has worse problems than FF. It is in a long term decline according to the opinion polls and is led by a Varadkar. And as everyone knows, Varadkar has a track record on losing seats for FG.

FF is beginning to find its identity again and will put the boot in on FG over the Autumn. Martin is seen as being an FG wannabe and closer to FG than the FF. If anything, the real FF element in FF may try to go for an organised transition from Martin's leadership. The FF Ard Fheis at the end of September may see a few motions calling for Martin to step down.

The problem is that the insistence of the Greens on these cuts may destabilise the government and lead to a GE before that. The upsides for FF are somewhat better in that other parties have been working on getting their GE candidates in place for a GE after 2024. Moving now could short-circuit that because SF may not have enough candidates to take advantage of the ABFFG surge. The downside for FF is that one possible replacement for Martin, Jim O'Callaghan, might not get reelected.

RTE will try to talk up Labour as a major party but on current polling, Labour will be hard pressed to retain 3 seats. If things went really bad, it could have no seats after the next GE. The SocDems may be of more interest in that they represent a Left vote that is never-Labour. They might find it possible to work with SF.

It took a swing of 4.7% for the Noonan disaster for FG in 2002. FG may be facing a similar problem based on the poll trends and it, rather than FF, could become the new Labour party in terms of seat losses.
