    Jonny, why do you have the socialist party in your sig when they have said they want to work outside any government, even FG/Lab/Green?

    Brian, you are way off base.

    The Green party successful interrupted a PD stage managed event and showed MCDowell up for being the scaremongering liar that he is.

    Then FG show up to twist the knife a bit more with a poster of their own.

    With that kind of team work i definatly see the greens working with FG in government ;)

    Also i would love to talk to the PD strategists on this one...

    "Left wing government ? No thanks".

    Does that mean the PD are admitting to being right wing at long last? And how are they going to work with one of the self proclaimed "few socalists" left in the Dail.

    I have to say I love this type of thing. It's what elections are made for and this week has been excellent for spats. On topic I think it can help both sides. The PDs get some extra publicity and the Greens show they have found their courage, like the lion from the Wizard of Oz( put em up ;) ).

    One thing about McDowell, he's completely open about the fact that he is there to serve the interests of "middle Ireland". He makes absolutely no effort to hide his disdain for the working class, that's just part of the PD package. He is basically a softer, more effeminate Margaret Thatcher.

    Funny but true!!!

    I like Gormley he's funny, in fairness McDowell can be funny too when he wants to be.

    Socalism does not fit with the PD's economic policy of letting the private sector deal with everything.

    I laughed when David Davin Power said that one Green Party insider commented that Gormley shouldn't have pulled off such a stunt wearing a gammy auld anorak.

    :D LOL

    McDowell actually said on the radio that he had succeeded in getting Liz O' Donnell up the pole!

    Liz is a bit long in the tooth for that sort of thing ...

    But Bertie ahern has claimed it remeber?

    My basic point being is that if both sides are what they say they are in the current government they are surely incompatable.

    McDowell is laying into the Greens/Labour and anyone else he percieves as "left wing" but He doesnt say Boo about "One of the the last socialists" in the dail.

    Not sure if this was mentioned but RTE's David McCullogh (sp) laughed through the entire confrontation, as seen with TV3's camera. Very funny given he acted very serious on RTE bulletins. Also, he was laughing at Gormley's act.
