Is there a political party that doesnât want any of these things? Lots of buzzwords that dont really mean anything.

You canât achieve any of those things with party politics.
Where do they stand on matters of conscience?
Not really . She announced it to the press before telling anyone in the party. She skipped out for her own good.
Fergus Finlay had a decent column in yesterdayâs Examiner ref these flutes of Independents thinking they can enact real change etc. He bemoans the loss of Quinn, Gilmore & Rabbitte from active politics after the next election. I can agree with the first 2 but that flute Rabbitte is no loss whatsoever.
Donnelly has panicked because he knows heâs fucked in the election with his lack of work on the ground out in Wicklow. He needs a vehicle to get his national message out and canât join an establishment party. In the long run he isnât that close to Murphy and Shorthall politically imo and the type of voter who went for him last time wouldnât have been a Murphy/Shorthall type so this wonât last. Itâs a gamble that they can avoid contention but the lack of leader goes to show what this is and could cause them to come unstuck in the election.

Independents like Mick Wallace are doing powerful work in the DĂĄil though.

Debatable but his street credit seems well & truly fucked throughout his constituency. Has he a realistic chance of retaining his seat?
Debatable? Have you been asleep for his work on the GardaĂ and NAMA? The man has been an absolute revelation.

A right smelly looking unkept Political Colossus.
He does his own thing, heâs not a conformist sheep like most of the other TDs.

Agreed, he is just the sort to be sending to China, Dubai & America on trade missions.
Mick has just claimed some lad exited NAMA by handing âŹ15k in a bag to a NAMA exec

Wallace and Boyd Barrett should be fucked out of the DĂĄil because of their clobber alone. You see better dress on casual Fridays.

I donât think he has panicked. He has a higher profile now than he ever did going into the last election. Even then, much of the profile he had was from his Vincent Browne appearances and the likes. It is odd when you see him lumped in with the left-leaning independents because he doesnât appear to be left-leaning at all. In the short-term his economic policy seems broadly aligned with what Shortall and Murphy espouse but I wonder how long it would stay like that.
