I'll be voting Ming no 1 for sure anyway.
After that ...use my transfers to make sure no Effeffer gets in.
A lot of FF Council nonentities shuffling around in a will I /won't I mode.
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

First thing that should be done once the new government is in place, is shut down that hape of shite RTE & fire the useless feckers. The 6.1 News was a disgraceful shambles.

Fianna Fail's strategy is obviously to try and get Labour and Fine Gael to share 'debates' as much as possible so that the differences in their policies can be highlighted. Clever move by Martin actually, given the hand he is playing with.

Fianna Fail are obviously in for a kicking, and he wants to plant the seed of uncertainty about a FG/Lab coalition to try and mitigate the damage.

I'd say Enda is not a bit happy with his putative coalition partner, because Labour are extremely anxious to be seen as the long awaited third major player. FG want this to be FG v FF, with Labour, Greens and SF as the makeweights.

I hate politicians a lot of the time, but I do fiind the tactical battles fascinating. Martin has made a promising start in that regard in fairness to him. Gilmore helped him in his reaction, and Kenny is fighting off the back foot immediately. A quick chat between Gilmore and Kenny might be in order.

Gilmore is afraid to be in the same room as Sinn Féin.
