I am, pal and thatâs where FG have not been good enough before - they need to address their inadequacies.
The public demand another Election once we beat the Bat Virus.
And spend millions more? The country is struggling enough economically as it is ⌠Thereâs no way FF will let it happen tho. Theyâll be decimated⌠From what I can see, they are the one party that have really gone into hiding.
Well if thatâs how you really feel, get onto HQ and tell them to talk properly to FG.
She is outstanding. The story here isnât the Greens, the story is FFG.
The violent civil war parties want it all their own way. They want to hand pick who they can go into government with and who they can ignore. Itâs all right when they refuse to speak with someone, but itâs scandalous when somebody refuses to legitimise their joint attempted power grab. The hypocrisy is astounding.
The Greens are open to going into government. Theyâve said they want a national unity government and, as an alternative, theyâll consider going in with 1 (one) of the violent civil war parties and others.
FG lost around 40% of their seats in the election and are using a global pandemic to cling onto power. Itâs absolutely sickening. At a time when the country should be pulling together theyâre refusing to even speak with the party that represents 1 in every 4 people, including me. All so they can have their showy, set pieces to camera every few days to further their own political ends.
They said they were ready for opposition and it was up to SF to form a government, but the numbers werenât there. Similarly they need to realise that theyâve failed to bounce the Greens into government and the numbers arenât there either.
So it appears that a coalition government canât be formed, and the main reason is because FFG wonât even speak to SF even in this climate with the nation on its knees.

What? HQ?
Stop being obtuse.
Iâm not a FF supporter.
Fair play @Bandage. Well thought out post. Itâs good to see you putting personal feelings aside and rowing in with the rubby crowd in the interest of Ireland.
The fact the government isnât new and there hasnât been any changeover is helpful. However, we are only following advice on how to deal with the virus and the same steps as taken elsewhere, we have been a little slower than most European countries in implementing restrictions, and there is a lot of coordination on this. Iâm not convinced any new government would have done anything different to following the expert advice. Iâm also sure that Mary Lou or MĂchĂŠal could have delivered the speeches that Leo has in at least as convincing a manner, and that if they did weâd all be going around saying how great it was they were in instead of Leo.

Really?
You say we were slower in responding than Europe. Were we faster or slower than Europe shutting down our schools/nursing homes relative to our first case? Just a factual answer will be fine.

Iâm not reading that, but Iâm giving it a like as its a beautifully formed post, which is rare to see on a rant around here.
Weâre in Europe, pal.

Thanks. Could you please tweet the relevant minor celebrities with that information.

Europe is quite a few countries, asking for a âfactual answerâ to your question is a bit stupid. Relative to our first case, we havenât been one of the fastest anyway. There was a relatively long lag before closing bars and then restaurants, and then a relatively long lag until âlockdownâ again. Iâm not being hyper critical, we seem to have managed this relatively well. But itâs not like weâve done exceptionally or anything that hasnât been the pattern elsewhere.
Which ones would you say are relevant?
Throw up the list there. You seem to be all over this.
