    What motivates people to get involved in Fine Gael?

    This isn't a dig at FG at all, its a genuine question. I understand -at least I think I do- what motivates people to get involved in the other parties but not Fine Gael. So I would just like to ask all FGers what exactly it is that they like about their party, and in particular, why do they support FG and not Fianna Fail?

    Gaius, look at this short thread: http://www.politics.ie/viewtopic.php?t=22007 .

    It supplies an answer to that question, from me at least.

    I'm not a farmer. I'm a town dweller. In fact my grandfather who was a farmer was a staunch republican.

    We have too many members!

    There is an art to getting free booze at an FF Ard Fheis. Mine involves claiming i'm from the constituency of whatever TD I see. Survival of the devious!

    Expect more of them until someone posts a satisfactory answer. 35 years without a mandate to govern is eternity.
