Yep, but lets hear them tell us what they plan to do if we give them their chance.


We're in deep doggy doodoo at the moment, even before we get to the issues the FFailures messed up on in the 29th Dail. Aside from the inability to respond properly to a crisis, which a Government would feel during an election cammpaign, the International Markets would severly cane us for the instability it would cause.

The alternative on offer would have to be very persuasive to get over that hump - but as of now the alternative are putting forward mutually exclusive solutions.


The onus is on Fine Gael and Labour to put forward a credible alternative, and to build public support for it.

Without such an agreed plan, and the mandate to implement it, an election would only be a charade.

I have been trying to figure out Lab's position on NAMA since it was announced in the Budget. On the night it seemed that Gilmore and Burton were against the idea saying it was just to shore upp FF's developer and banker pals.

By Sunday, Ruairi Quinn was on the week in politics churning out the de rigeur FF is the party of builders and developers lines, but he was also championing the NAMA idea and taking FG's Fergus O'Dowd to task for saying otherwise.

Was this a volte face or did I miss something (apart from Frank McDonald's article in the Irish Times saying that the NAMA idea was bad news for the developers)?
