    I'm not getting the impression that Lucinda is going to move away from Fine Gael anytime soon.

    She'll probably get re-admitted to the party once the next election comes around and her views on abortion will have "evolved" by then.

    Sh*t yeah.

    Let me revise my initial post.
    McGurk brings some qualities to this but he'd be a lot better if he didn't interrupt everyone every 5 seconds.

    Sam Smyth should stick to the Rugby..

    Everyone seems to ignore the fact that every TD is elected by the people........it's not the TDs who are gobsh1tes, it is the Irish people who are gobsh1tes. The Dail accurately reflects the electorate. Unfortunately, in a democracy, every idiot has a vote!

    Lucinda wants reform.

    No details of course, she just wants reform.

    Does this direct democracy lad creep anyone else out? Just seems shady and like he's concealing some vested interests behind fairly simplifying dodgy rhetoric. Can't pit my finger on it but I get the feeling he'll turn out to be more than he appears at some point.

    I voted for what I took to be the best of a bad lot.

    When the same mistakes are repeated time and again, you have to wonder if it's just a mistake.:(

    She is moving nicely into the populist land that most Irish opposition TDs live in. They want change but they can't say what.

    I do have a certain level of respect for her though. She stood by what she said in her pre-election promises regarding abortion. I don't agree with her on it but when push came to shove, she stood up and fought her corner. I think she will get re-elected next time round as a result of this.

    It's Hobson's choice for us. We can either have Tweedledum or Tweedledee with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. Then there's Labour who've pretty much jettisoned every principle they've ever had. There's the Shinners who still can't be trusted, and then there's the detritus of loony lefties who can't even agree on the time of day. Not much choice for the Irish electorate with any of these parties/independents.

    "We've successfully put together a bill to ban smoking in cars for children"..

    I'd be more worried about the children driving while smoking..

    I'd say it was a great feeling though.. Telling maverick gunslinger Noel Curran to shove his deal up his h0le, before he got the chance to go to the tabloids with his latest "I told them the wages had to be cut by 10%" success story..

    She doesn't suit Fine Gael then at all.
