Labour left the working man swinging to go after the identity politics. No surprise theyre being wiped out

Yes. Most of the time. I have a berlingo which means im very familiar with shinnying lamposts at election time.
Ged Nash is very good, AodhĂ n can be very good but is a pain in the hole sometimes. Who knows about Duncan, hes certainly raised his profile a bit for a first time td. Kelly is done. It was his own fault. He put others in a position where they had to act. Howlin is gone. Id have no time for sherlock really but hes obviously very strong locally.

I reckon kelly could well go down the independent route next election. If he plzys his cards right this could make his seat untouchable

There’s very little shit with Sherlock at least. Is he their spokesman for housing?

The fact that you have to ask that about the most pressing issue in the country probably tells you all you need to know about the party.

Tipp is already top heavy with Indipindints. His political career is well and truly over.

It also has a Sinn Fein TD who is a bit top heavy

It’s a sweet gig though. Sort out a few medical cards and keep name recognition and you’re untouchable. Can complain about everything in the Dail without having to be accountable for any tough decisions.

I wouldn’t be too sure about that

Careful now, that could be misconstrued.

Id say neither you nor I would ladt an hour in the job.

Sherlock is the only one guaranteed to win a seat at the next election . But thats down the legacy of his father than anything he’s done.Labour are a dying party.

A worthy successor to Phil Hogan in the water charges debacle. Good riddance.

George Lawlor will be a certainty to pick up all his votes I would imagine.

Dunno about being a certainty.
