    FF Get their Way on Confidence Motion.

    Newstalk reported at the top of their news at 3pm that "FF seemed to have got their way with the wording" which they described as being laced with criticisms?
    Harney was even wheeled out and threw a few sly digs saying "even the Tribunal itself must be concerned with the cost and time..."

    How come this isn't burning the wires if it's a few hours old?

    I'm keen to know what's going on too.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    One would hope that this is just FF spin and that the Greens haven't meekly swallowed the proverbial t*** to avoid rocking the boat.
    It is quite brazen that a motion could be proposed that might condemn the Tribunal for the time wasting by reluctant witnesses.
    Let's hope it's just FF bluff.

    It must be. The Greens couldn't agree to this.

    The Greens gave up all pretence of having any morals when they signed up to a filthy deal to keep Ahern in power. As for the Progressive Democrats? Well, the electorate have given their verdict on the so called "watchdog" role they ahd pledged to play.

    Just heard the working on newstalk + Harney spinning the FF line.

    If ahern and other had co-operated with the tribunal then the thing would prob be finished by now.

    Interesting again that the focus of so many FG posters is on the Green Party.

    Have you guys some secret longing to be in Government with FF? Have we cuckolded you or something?
