Batsh*t Crazy Green Party

[PROCNA2018]

He does not impress me anyway.

But it should be obvious by now - Greens do Greens.
O'Gorman is the continuity candidate. Dublin, minister already......their hope at any sort of redemption at the GE rests in Dublin.

He has also insured massive sums are and will be invested in public transport infrastructure and active travel measures and all locked in no matter who is in power.

Hurl away from the sidelines on the opposition benches, climate denier thickos, or online at him but he got stuff done in his program for Government as the cranks will always be there just howling into the void.

FG got the boost when Harris took over and I have no idea who could take over the Green leadership.

Will Mary Lou do the decent thing?

I reckon Martin will take it.. strikes me as one of those outwardly smiling types that you understand will take the legs out from under you if you dont side with her.. just like Ní Raghallaigh found out recently.

Social justice garbage

Eamonn Ryan genuinely believes in his politics.
Eamonn Ryan was a good leader of the Green Party.
He did what a party leader should do which is maximise the influence their party has and implement their policy platform as much as possible.

I don't agree with his ideology driven methods.
I think he could have been more pragmatic particularly for the Ireland that exists outside the M50.

But as I've posted before , a genuine guy, honestly representing his and his party's views and working to get them implemented on 7% of the vote. Can't fault him for that.

Ideology my arse, Green policies on the environment are grounded in science, immigration is a more complicated matter admittedly.

I understand your view.
I didn't mention science or immigration.
I said his methods were ideology driven and not pragmatic.
You won't agree, but try and reply to what i said as opposed to what you think I said.

I would never put you down as a denier of science as you can change your "ideology" but facts and science could not care less in what you believe in or choose to ignore.

We are now at 462 consecutive days of record global sea surface temperatures.

The people of Midleton etc. living on a knife edge.

Their "ideology" is based on acting on the science.

Did we not have this exact same conversation yesterday and the day before?

seriously like?

For the avoidance of any doubt.

Man made climate change is very real.
Global warming is very real.
We all need to act as a planet to address what is a planetary emergency.
I have solar panels and an EV.
The science is clear.

My only issue with what Ryan was espousing was that it was not pragmatic for Ireland, especially the Ireland outside the M50, and my contention is that his genuinely held ideology was.driving to go to the maximum he could, knowing in all likelihood, this was going to be his only stint in government.

Which I already complimented him on.

I also believe that not only should we be doing what we can but we have to acknowledge that stopping or reversing 1.5 to 2°C increase is highly unlikely if not impossible without the main offenders and that part of the strategy on climate change is to.also plan for the inevitable climate migration and resource scarcity and concentration in particular geographies.


Is that clear enough for you?

A worse minister for Transport than Shane Ross.

Has taken the Greens down the toilet as theyre now transfer toxic.

Pushed by his own party after electoral meltdown. A complete dickhead. Good riddance.

Nonsense.

Shane Ross was one of the worst ministers this country has ever seen. He was more interested in reopening Stepaside Garda station than doing his job at Cabinet
It got so bad, Enda Kenny had a go at him personally that being a Minster at Cabinet is a constitutional duty, while he waved "Bunreacht na hEireann" at him.

You may not like Emanon Ryan or his political positions, but he is actually been a very good minister for transport, especially for Public Transport and Active Travel. The fruits of this has yet to come fully to bloom, but we will see its affects for years after he is gone.

Oh, and by the way, he ain't stepping down as minister...

He won't be the next leader, I doubt he'll even stand in the next election.
