Based on some newspapers articles and tweets by āpolitical insidersā, thereās some concern in FF and Ind circles about the impact on ārural Irelandā if the Greens are in government. Iām not sure what this is all about. The likes of the Examiner today and various Sunday papers yesterday were reporting that MicheĆ”l Martin was met with a lot of dissent on Friday in a parliamentary party zoom meeting. Several members that would usually have been supportive were critical of him such as Niall Collins.
Are you telling me that there are politicians within FF willing to stand up for their principles instead of going into government? Pigs donāt refuse a trough.
And what 3rd did party did they expect to partner with when they agreed to go in as FFG ?
Iād imagine thatās bullshit and bluster so they can hardball the green novices a bit and also tell constituents that they raised concerns.
This is the way of the future . Patchwork coalitions . The idea that government will be formed on ideology is fanciful . Dail arithmetic will decide future coalitions . Someone soon will have to take SF in to government and domesticate them
