Because amongst young republicans they’re replacing the role FF used to play so he has to keep them toxic for as long as possible. They’re an existential threat to him. Also just he has a lot of older voters who are still focused on the troubles.
It’s only @myboyblue and the rest of the electorate of Laois/Offaly that have the opportunity to vote for Charlie Flanagan.
Thoughts ref Munster seats.
FG seem to have fudged Tipperary again & have no hope.
McGrath, Cahill, Lowry, Healy and Kelly I’d say. Kelly to edge out Ahern from FG as he benefits from afterglow of a Tipp AI success. Newman has no hope as she is a blow in.
Do you want me to send him an email?
Dunno about Healy tbh. His profile is weak & that Calendar fuck up has not gone down well.
Kelly will get in handy I’d say. Healy the only sitting TD under pressure
I’m watching on +1… Donnelly is very well suited to FF alright… Smug, arrogant and officious (@Bandage is this the correct term?)
Charlie did me two turns in times gone by, I’d be a fool not to return the compliment once again
Sure the Soc Dem can’t even pick a leader
How could you vote for them
If Hanifin gets back in, then I get up.
Leaving Mary Lou out of the leaders debate has actually given Sinn Fein a bit of a boost / worked against FFG — First each party arrogantly came out and said they wouldnt form a Government with SF — then RTE decide to just have a stand alone debate between FFG - all while a sizable amount of the electorate are very angry with both parties. The establishment having a mare –
Louise O’Reilly easily came out of last night’s debate head and shoulders above the rest. Donnelly made a fucking show of himself while Harris went down the meek / humble route - which just made him look weak.
30 seconds too late bro,.
That is just brilliant
This will wind up the dubs no end
How many Healy Rae’s are running this time?
