Cabinet Gamble

Billy Kovachy

Bertie is on the ropes. Horrible election results with major loses to Sinn Fein. The people have spoken they want change they are sick of the health boards, Punchestown, inflation, smoking ban, crime, corruption, tribunals, electronic voting etc etc. What does he do? Ah ha cabinet reshuffle. The plan to ease the purse strings and become less smugg and more grass roots before the next general election. So why not try to be Bertie (a lovely idea Iam sure) and pick the next Cabinet. Theres a trophy..
