Should the Green Party Pull Out?

I seriously think they should abandon ship with their coalition or whatever it is with this morally bankrupt government as they are prolonging the agony of this state of affairs, they would gain more respect from any potential voters for them!

Morally, I'd say they should - the only legitimate reason they could have for remaining in government is as a sort of "monitor" to make sure FF don't abuse their positions. However they certainly don't seem to be doing that.

But will they? Doubtful. I'm sure they're aware that a lot of their core support must be angry at them for propping up Fianna Fail and in a lot of ways, betraying what they claim to stand for. If they had to run again, how many Greens would be voted in? And of those that were, what are the chances of them getting into government again?

Two posts on the same subject and both in the wrong forums!
