I don’t think Leo will lead them in the next election anyway. He might get his stint in the chair from this government, but I think he’ll sail off into the sunset then
I can’t see him being charged but the reputational damage will stick to him like shit to a blanket for the rest of his career. The Law and Order Party will fuck him under a bus when it suits them.
so leo, as minister for health, excludes NAGP from the negotiations but then after getting a threatening letter, whilst taoiseach, then decides to surreptitiously give a contract to otoole, but its in the national interest.
I was more querying your suggestion that “votes” was the advantage gain. Maybe I should have phased it more simply. Whose votes do you think that he gained or hoped to gain to support your theory.
read the letter, NAGP threatened to campaign against FG, harris who was seised of the matter rightly told otoole to do one. leo then sneakily got a copy to otoole to prevent FG losing votes without telling anyone what he was doing.
Now, very little … but who knows what long game these fellas play. Once he’s done being T I cant see him hanging around politics till he’s old and grey.
