Enda Kenny is a failed leader of
FG and has limited credibility
Quote:
Irish Independent , March 21st
But, extraordinarily, while Fine Gael's ratings are higher, satisfaction with Enda Kenny is languishing at 29 per cent, trailing the star performance of Labour's Eamon Gilmore at 52 per cent.

He didn't go for the jugular with Bertie at the last election. He is not a leader. He is at best some sort of chairman figure who makes
FG happy on the inside:
Quote:
Irish Times commentary Friday, April 3, 2009
He has not, however, inspired the public, and, frankly, he is never likely to do so. None of this means, however, that he cannot be the next taoiseach.
A man can be chairman or chief. Kenny has neither the personality, nor the skills, to be chief; but he could be chairman.
His Dáil performances are – mostly, but not always – stolid, long-winded and sometimes aimless; and they could be sharpened immeasurably if they were cut in length by half.

I believe it highly irresponsible of
FG to keep offering us this failure as a leader. It was a time of national crisis at the last general election and Kenny failed the people.
If he becomes taoiseach it will be by default through the voters turning from
FF, they certainly don't warm to Kenny.
There is an election needed alright : for leader of Fine Gael.
Also
FG need to set out their position on the next government , the Greens have turned out to be fiscally prudent, sound heads. Labour are anything but:
Eamon Gilmore: there should only be a €2.5 billion adjustment - is he credible ?
Unless
FG indicate a willingness to go into coalition with
FF, a
FG/
Lab government would be
worse than the current (and remember I don't like
FF at all)
