Theyâre well able to do it in the North.
Labour are finishedâŚI dont see a viable alternative.

Granted our government has no reins over monetary policy but it is still a level or two above Norn iron .
Kenny was a major negative for FG.
How much of a bounce is there for Leo?
Kennyâs greatest political strength was that he played the fool and said nothingâŚLeo wonât be able to hold back from spitting the 1% narrative.
His honesty will be his demise.
A quarter of the electorate want to vote for headbangers.
A massive block want to vote for somebody who provides some sense of direction. Kenny was ridiculous. He stood for nothing.
If Leo projects any sort of vision, he is good to go. Every cunt in Dublin is stuck in a traffic jam between a battery farm creche and a house he canât afford.

Heâs too outspoken pal,
I personally thought Coveney wouldâve been their next leader as he would be deemed a safe pair of hands and is close to Sutherland.
Itâs win win for their political opponents now particularly with Noonan gone.

The lovely Kate was screwed either way. She was only ever nominated by Enda in the first place to shaft Mrs Bradford. Once that project was successful, that was the end of her usefulness. If Mrs Bradford was minded to tear herself away from Vulcan Consulting, it mightnât be beyond the bounds of possibility she could be on the ticket next time out with the leaders patronage.

This sort of thing, rightly or wrongly, drives the likes of your mate around the twist. They are only waiting for a more right wing type they can vote for. Look at the comments after that article.
Leo could say anything though âŚ
My good friend Kev Cunningham was projecting a 9% bounce for Fine Gael on Claire Byrneâs radio show today, based on his research.
This compared to a projected 6% bounce had Coveney won.
That cunt drives me mad never mind my mate,wheres me free house?People wonder then why right wingers like kenny and co are voted in then.

Right-wing types tend to be very vocal on social media, ie. comment sections, forums etc, more vocal than they are in the real world.
The Journal is a haven for authoritarian right-wing comments. Politics.ie has essentially been taken over by far-right trolls for many years now.
Is there a constituency there for the likes of Leo though?
Kenny appealed to nobody. He wasnât FF and normal people could vote for him. That was about it.
Thatâs the story that dominates though
Varadkar represents the soft authoritarian right-wing with a cuddly social liberal stance thrown in to appeal to the centre ground. Heâll really appeal to the type of people who think Michael OâLeary should be running the country, ie. the people who would vote Tory if they lived in Britain.
I donât see him going down particularly well outside of Dublin and the commuter belt. Iâm not sure he has the sort of crossover appeal Bertie Ahern had and I think itâs only a matter of time before he puts his foot in his mouth over something. Heâs going to be the least experienced Taoiseach for many decades.
Youâd imagine heâll be a media darling for the first few months though which will help him going into an election if thereâs one later this year. The Sindo in particular will love him.

Maybe.
I think he comes across as having more depth than Kenny. More vision. Heâs a long way from a Tory to be fair. Those lads have left the EU rather than look at immigrants.
This is all moot though. 50% of the electorate in Kerry reckon God created global warming and a big dinner is as intoxicating as a few pints. Or voted for somebody who thinks that way.
Ultimately, the country needs hard decision in a few areas. The last lad coughed up

to deal with nonsense and destroyed his mandate.
