I think the Greens will have to step down fairly soon. There's no way they can keep this charade up. Dan Boyle looked quite like he wanted to agree with Joan Burton last night on Prime Time, but couldn't.

You could actually see him looking very uncomfortable trying to defend the indefensible.

The reality is that the Greens would sit far better with Labour than with FF.

They are currently destroying the Green movement as a serious force in politics for a generation by bolting themselves to Fianna Fail, a party with all the environmental credentials of a Texan oil Barron.

They need to be made to see that they're just vegetarian, eco-friendly, cannon fodder that Fianna Fail are using to make up the numbers!

I would strongly advocate Labour and FG (and SF) running a rather more aggressive campaign against the Greens. Fianna Fail are a waste of time as they have no shame anyway.
