You’re probably right, I forgot we are only talking about FF people here, I don’t really speak FF.
He was anti choice and anti marriage equality but tried to hedge with Andrew coming out in support of both.

Any FF leader who was anti-choice will bomb with the country, it’s pretty much a disqualifying stance for leading a government now. I think we’ve established that O’Callaghan came around to being pro-choice in time so along with his being in Dublin, which FF absolutely need in their next leader, he’s pretty much their only realistic choice.

O’Callaghan doesn’t have a secure enough seat to be leader. If Kate O’Connell goes again she will probably be favourite to take that seat, particularly if FG are in opposition. I do agree with a Dublin leader though

The constituency O’Callaghan in is not a big enough reason to not make him leader if there is a contest, it would show an incredible lack of confidence in the party if they refuse to select the candidate who is clearly best placed to gain support nationally because there’s a small doubt of him getting re-elected. Micheal Martin himself is not in an easy constituency.

Sometimes these things are fairly simple. You select the best person for the job. Darragh O’Brien is the only other viable Dublin candidate they have who could be leader but I don’t see him going down well nationally at all, or in Dublin even, he’s another Ray Burke type character and comes across as obnoxious. The possible rural candidates are all very weak.

Why do you keep banging on about this still like it has any relevance when discussing a TD, whether it be their capability or chances of being elected? You’re obsessed with it the same as your alter ego Sid. I’m sorry to break it to you but a whole raft of the biggest cheerleaders for these campaigns have lost their Dail seats, while many of what you’d consider backward dinosaurs who had the principles to speak against these campaigns were re-elected. You’re losing credibility by constantly pivoting back to these statements as if those against them were penalised by the public, when the converse is true.

Bizarre outburst

[Dziekanowski]

He seems to be a bizarre fellow in general who comes across as extremely angry that he wasn’t born in the 1920s or 1930s when his worldview wouldn’t have marked him out at as a bit of freak.

[Smark]

Not really, I was pointing out that posters continuous biases which irks me that he keeps mentioning them like they are relevant, when the facts show his bias is wrong.

That’s hilarious. You’re one of the most irrationally biased posters on the site, who genuinely thinks that because a handful of rump dinosaurs with views from the 1950s got elected that their views are somehow a majority, when in reality the Irish people have absolutely obliterated these dinosaur views out of state policy. These rump dinosaurs are despised in the country at large. Out of touch doesn’t even begin to describe you, living in a complete fantasy world would be far more accurate.

@Bandage is this one of the backwoodmen you referred to the other week?

@Midshipman_Asha is one of the most daycent on here.

…Blanchenstein cobbled together from parts of deceased FF politicians and brought to life with one purpose. To rule Ireland with an iron fist

[Fagan_ODowd]

Jim O’Callaghan is a charisma free zone and awkward around actual human beings. A bit like Leo but less good looking and without the sock thing to make him kind of interesting to vapid metrosexual Dubliners. He’d be a poor choice of leader but he might be all they have.
