    To be fair to FG, and I'm not one of their (note the correct use of the word) supporters, they are a democratic party who believe their policies are the best for Ireland

    In that regard they are certainly interested in providing jobs for those who want to work, and they most certainly are not a bigoted, racist, small minded, economically illiterate party.

    Dunno, something in the water. But I'm certainly looking forward to hearing the few remaining FF liteweights struggle to speak without their press team and their gaggle of advisers after they get their butts whipped at the forthcoming GE.

    Ya - but there'll be no butt whippin so long as FG keep up this nonsense of telling us to read their policy documents every time we question them. When the ordinary Joe 6-pack goes to vote he'll remember the simple one-liners and FG seem to have a problem communicating at that level. When Olivia Mitchell was asked about the jobs today she actually hesitated in a manner that suggested "Oh dear, do I have to talk about these boring jobs, do I have to explain it all again" - at least that was the vibe I picked up.

    It's the blue ones when you agree with me, the pink when we disagree. Better not tangle with you today or there'll be funny goings-on in the Viking house tonight

    Ya - you'd imagine that you could substitute "arise and follow Enda" - but it doesn't seem right. Doesn't scan well .....or something

    But it's certainly a bit better than a fat f*er from Offaly on the back of a lorry bawling out some ballad about his underpants.

    Clarify!
    Is it not a bandwagon. Its Game Theory. Most organisations use this. Protectionism results from a dominant strategy adopted by countries especially during crisis. Over the past year there are more and more signs of trade barriers. Recently the EU was giving out to the States

    On top of all this Greece may have to go to the IMF making the Euro look vulnerable.

    The Greece Bailout Is Falling Apart

    So in getting back to the Game Theory suggestion, a large government party should be developing a scenario in the event of protectionism. Simply focusing on creating a smart economy and allowing the traditional sectors that create goods and services that people actually need die off, is reckless considering the times. Protectionism between the EU, the US and the Bric is looking odds on. The fact the Eurozone could breakup is a possibility as well.

    Concentrating solely on the third industrial revolution of IT may be wise specialism to provide comparative advantage in a perfectly globalised world. But giving the circumstances Plan B should be considered.
