    Congrats Leo. Over 1000 days as Taoiseach despite leading your party to 3rd place in the only general election you faced as leader. Some democracy we have going on here eh


    Same democracy that think getting a vote of 24% is an election win :p:p:p

    Unless Sinn Fein can come up with a decent alternative to their current policies The FGFF coalition will only strengthen. If Micheál Martin is cute he will rotate the Taoiseach every 6 months and ensure that the position essentially becomes a partnership for the next 3-4 years. I get the impression Leo might fancy a spell in Brussels, the top table would await there, he oozes European Bureaucracy potential. Spin around until the next European elections and then see the lie of the land, or even a commissioner position, the bookies have stopped taking bets at this stage. In fact this could well be part of any lateral under the table deal he has with Martin as regards who gets the wheel.

    Unless Sinn Fein can develop an honest agenda which shows a feasible solution to the future of this republic they are destined for a lifetime as political cranks. Very easy in fairness. Blah blah something something, blah blah wealth redistribution blah blah etc. They are acing the Mary Lou factor, she is the most prominent female politician in the country, that matters bigtime and she is a vote making machine. But women are not stupid either, they are also fickle enough. Unless she can come up with a plan she will lose popularity for not delivering, women hate getting disappointed. The rest of the Cabal can forget it, they are destined to singing rebel songs in their local GAA club on Sunday night, Mná na hEireann want Mary Lou.... not Eoin, Pearse, Dessie or Daithí, believe.

    If you're referring Sinn Fein then I need to inform you that Sinn Fein is a political party, not a democracy.

    Much more afraid of Gerry Adams and his merry men than any virus.
