You’d scarcely see that in a students’ union election from a ‘take the piss’ candidate.

I notice the Labour logo is extremely small on the posters I have seen up.

Someone has to have told her about Rick Rolling

Hopefully Senator Higgins won’t be the victim of yet more unseemly cyber-bullying after sharing this poster.

One would certainly hope so.

I see a gathering opinion in the newspaper comment pieces that we will have a second election by the autumn.

FF may well play for this.

Column inches to fill. Last week the “gathering opinion” in pro-establishment “political commentary” pieces was that Labour would do better than expected.

A second election would play into the hands of Sinn Fein and nobody else.

A Fine Gael/Fianna Fail government is the obvious and only viable government from a numbers point of view and also because there is effectively no difference between the parties.

If they refused to form a government out of pig-headed arrogance, the ones to suffer at another election would be themselves.

They’ll form one though and there won’t be another election.

So FF are to take direction from FG?

Similar and all as they are, that is the problem with that coalition.

Martin was asked the other night during the debate: “In any prospective coalition with Fine Gael, would you demand (the ministry of) Health?”

He emphatically answered “yes”.

The ground has been laid.

The Puke will be spinning in his grave.

I think there would be a hell of lot of opposition in FF to go into a coalition with FG. Still don’t know if it would happen.

It suits FF now to back away from saying they won’t go in with FG.

Mary Hanifin started it. She probably needs FG transfers to get elected, if it’s FG/L or FF/others, then FG’s transfers will go to Labour but by allowing people think it could be FG/FF, FF could pick up a heap of transfers.

Will slap vote before he head s to jail

Not to their face

True, You would have to retire from the internet if whataboutery was outlawed.

Some freedom fighters.

Then clare daly trying to cosy up to sinn fein and probably her scumbag base on rte last night stated that ireland shouldn’t fear jury intimidation, there’s far more intimidation in italy but they protect juries
there are no juries in italy.
