That’s the end of FG for a while.
The lack of judgment in picking Haris is staggering.
SFF next government

Fianna Fail should be going for it now that Sinn Fein are self imploding.
The system of election in fg is gives way too much power to the parliamentary party. It isolates the grass roots . Probably the reason Coventry decided against running again. Possibly the reason Humphrey’s pulled the plug as well. Paschal the old fox sees the writing on the wall.

Martin will have a job on his hands with a few of the backbenchers.

Earlier on, @Heyyoubehindthebushes correctly alluded to the fact that Harris would either have to face a leadership contest in opposition or go into government with SF.
Could it be that Harris would countenance governing with them? Varadkar had given a hostage to fortune by ruling it our in perpetuity and Simon Coveney regularly railed against them also.
Maybe the unthinkable is quite thinkable after all?
‘In the national interest’
Are we on the way back?
All members are equal but some members are more equal than others.
Martin did a great job with the National Cancer Control Programme. It really advanced our treatments in this area to a fairly world class standard.
The only way to become a notionally successful health minister in Ireland is to empire build like that.
It is a money pit and will be until we decouple direct State spending.

A cunt elected by a small cabal of cunts a third of which are hightailing out the door before the next election.
Cunts.
A Pascal/ MacNeill double ticket would have been a solid FG option.
Pascal is completely inoffensive. He is widely respected as knowing what he is doing without the private school jab or extra lifestyle.
MacNeill is a bulldog and appeals to the Middle Class audience who hate Sinn Féin.
Harris is a politician of the age though. He is robotic enough to sustain the social media barbs that most couldn’t be arsed with.

A lot of cunts shiting on about Simon Coveney. He’s a dope who has achieved nothing and only is where he is because he is a scion of a self perpetuating family of Cork merchant princes.

Going into government with SF would destroy FG.
They have no incentive to do it.
SF are the old FF without the parish pump. Theyll be a useless shower in goverment as they also have been a useless opposition
So why would FG go in with them?
FG should sit back and hope things implode again and they can tell everyone “I told you so”.
They want to be in opposition next time around.
They’ll tank the next election.
