    Cabinet reshuffle

    I've a funny feeling about this.

    Both Cowen and Coughlan will be stepping aside very, very soon.

    "In the National Interest" of course.

    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    Any "plan" without the resignation/replacement/whatever-you-want-to-call-it of these two clowns isn't worth the paper it's written on.

    And did the little green men from Mars tell you this via the anally implanted aerial that you point towards the sky ?

    This thread is nonsense from gibberoon , no source - just vague, demented ramblings ... it might have been interesting if you expressed an opinion why they needed to go - as stands its a crackpot conspiracy thread

    wont happen, they might be forced out if there is a heave from the backbenches, some unknown backbencher used as a stalking horse in order to gauge the opposition before a credible candaite emerges a couple of months after that. the question should be if there was an internal revolution in FF who'd be the likely leader of it, tom kitt perhaps?
    On a side note, anyone know what are the different "wings " of FF, we have the lenihan wing obviously but are there any other little cabals in d party?

    The only way Clowen will step down is if the people take to the streets with petrol bombs.

    That's the whole point. The "leadership" need to pre-empt this or €10bn re-capitalisations and Lisbon Treaties will be the least of their worries...

    Well if Martin is Taoiseach all he will do is commission a report on what to do...then commission another report on the findings of the first! And so on!
