    Could PDs be part of a Rainbow?

    If the PDs - as expected - pull out of govt today - do the Rainbow supporters think they could be accepted into the tent if they fall short of 83?

    Getting worried FT? What was that old McDowell phrase again? Radical or Redundant? Does this mean that the PDs will be redundant today?

    Well I'm not a party member but I'd seriously advise the Rainbow against accepting youse. Even if it means another FF-led government. Getting the PDs out of power and making them completely irrelevant is the most important thing in this election, more important for the nation than any other goal. I'd be seriously disappointed with the Rainbow if they accepted the PDs.

    We've been through this before ... FG wanted the PD instead of the DL. Labour said no then, and we will say no again.

    Labour/Green/FG or Labour/FG the PDs will not be a part of the rainbow.
    The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites
