The next Government

[Blue Jasmin]

Why wouldn't they laugh? The new tails wagging the government dog.

Hopefully those who castigated the Greens over the past 5 years will now hold the Independents to the same impossibly high standards. I see the Healy Rae’s have already broken one promise and have signed up to carbon tax increases. They are no different from the rest lads.

MHR will get a boost of €32,535 to his salary, I'm sure that didn't sway him though. ?

The total number of Junior Ministers is an absolute disgrace and is even worse than the jobs for the boys stuff we saw in the Celtic Tiger. Let’s see where those who criticised Eamon Ryan’s advisors are now. Will they speak up? In their fuck they will.

This might work out well for SF long term, They will claim a vote fro independents is a vote for FF, FG, It might plant a seed in the minds
of some voters,

Well I know one that can’t because you saw to that. ?

Yeah, because he is a pauper. He could do with it. Jesus I’d expect idiocy from CrankyAlone but not you. Cop on to yourself ?

Good point. And it’s got a lot of truth to it too.

Probably the first time in the history of the state that there is a clear Left/Right Divide between Govt and opposition.

Before there would either have been FF or FG in opposition or Lab/Green in Govt.

If a coherent popular alternative doesn't emerge in the next 5 years it'll take a 2008 financial crash level of disruption for the Status quo to be upset.

And there will be a downturn and a recession in the next 5 years you can be sure of it. The UK economy is fucked, Trump back in charge in Yankland and our tax take already heavily reliant on windfall corporation tax income is shaping up for a nice little storm ahead.
