thereās no educating bigots like glas
Heād better reply to that given I went to the trouble of writing it.
Perhaps. But sometimes ignorant bolloxes need to be called out and shown up for what they are.
Maybe you could fund a scholarship for your ignorant bollox nogra brethren? We could call it āFlattyās scholarship for ignorant nogra bolloxesā.
Clearly PJās ignorant Limerick bollox scholarship was wasted on you.

In the short term Iād agree. FG got very little credit for that. Glas will just say they swam with the tide but why didnāt they get punished by the electorate in the 2000s and 2010s?
For the most part, people vote on their own pocket and on personalities.
I think it leaves FG better set up for the future though. They do poll better with younger voters. Martin has been a shit leader all told.
In fairness to OāCuiv, social values aside he was right about the future of FF with SF around. They needed to corner them into government in 2016 and even if the numbers wouldnāt have worked, made it out that theyād go in with them this time.

John McGuinness is the man.
Martin has been an unbelievably watery Taoiseach pretty much from Day One. As McSharry pointed out the other day, Varadkar has run rings around him in recent months.

About half an hour before todays meeting finishes up, Leo will excuse himself to go to the jacks and announce the new measure before Micheal has even finished the prayer at the end of the meeting.
Martin was effectively pointless in opposition with C&S . That set a tone . It really couldnāt end well .

Big Jim has positioned himself beautifully here, let everyone else do the lifting.

He has always been watery even when he was a minister. If there was decent talent in the party he wouldnāt have been within an arses roar of the leadership. Martins own desperation to be Taoiseach has let Leo and FG run rings around him.
Except the part that he definitely wonāt get reelected

OāCuiv should invite Martin to a clear the air meeting in West Cork.

Aontu should subsume FF with Tobin and OāCuiv leading the way for a party that is left leaning and upholds traditional catholic values. Thereās a decent percentage there judging by the recent social referendums. FF are at nothing as FG lite

Great underrated post
I think thatās slightly harsh. Heās a social Conservative. Iām a social Liberal but he comes across as a really decent fella. Honestly, that lad to me and to a lot of the public encapsulates nearly everything that was nice about the values of old original FF and old original Ireland. If you think OāCuiv is lost in a Gaelic wonderland why did you support FF in the first place? Iām a little surprised that other FFers would have a problem with a guy like that, it doesnt reflect well on them. Social liberal issues aside OāCuivās judgment on the big issues (SF, Micheal Martin etc) has been far more accurate than anyone else in FF. He has genuine common sense, he seems to be genuinely connected to the public instead of an institutionalised policy wonk like Martin. OāCuiv has far better respect for the real values of the country.
If OāCuiv has never been given a ministry then serious serious questions have to be asked about why so many cunts-to-the-backbone have been promoted ahead of him and everyone in FF seems to just accept thatās just how it should be. Like how the fuck did Martin give Donnelly a ministry ahead of OāCuiv and why does everyone think thatās normal? The national politic is a farce really if you think about it, itās just a circus.
OāCuiv is obviously not near leadership material but heās a decent and rare truth talker in FF. Heās one of the very few people in the Dail that Iād like to be mates with, Big Jim, Charlie McConologue and Barry Cowen being a few of the others.
