I wouldn't be terribly convinced of any bewailing from them that they never thought it would come to this. But some are easily fooled.

lugha wrote: » Oh, they are thinking straight all right. It would simply be ludicrous from a perspective of political survival for Labour (or FG) to pull the plug now. The plan would be to front load the harsh medicine in the first couple of years of their administration and have much more palatable ones in their final couple of years. When the anger subsides (and to a degree, it will) they will call a GE. They won’t come back with a 30 seat majority but they will fancy their chances of getting a second term, notwithstanding the rising of FF. Of course in politics anything can happen, and happen quickly. But these lads are pros. Whatever you think about property tax, don’t go mistaking them for mugs.

What kind of society brings a 70yo man to crying on the radio this week????

What kind of a society brings a 70yo man to crying on the radio? Probably the same kind of society who listen to Joe Duffy. If no-one listened to the w*nk he goes on with, he'd soon disappear & we wouldn't have a forum for 70yo men with five kids (aged 5 to whatever) to be crying on radio. Hi, tell Joe the problems you have with the budget and he'll empathise with you... (BTW, don't forget that Joe is earning 370k per annum..)
