I still dont get what the crisis is here for the no side. Yes its a dissappointment but remember the main parties colluded to keep lisbon off the agenda for the euros to prevent an anti-lisbon vote. The replacement of mary lou with joe higgins i think will benefit the no side. Kathy Sinnott only got in by a hairs breadth in 2004 anyway. Libertas failed to win a seat but for a new party only formed last year they did rather well, a lot better than the greens! How often will a party form one year before an election and come close to winning a seat? As i have said a diversification of the no side is needed to prevent some sort of justin barrett 2.
