What has the actions of the Green Party got to with Sinn Fein and vice versa.
The fact is the unique form of power sharing evident in the six counties was necessary to overcome decades of discrimination and introduce unionists to the idea of democracy. How is that comparable to the actions of the Greens.

Do you honestly see the current coalition lasting full term.Nobody wanted to play with Caoimhín, meanwhile Bertie, John and Mary are getting it on!
inerestingly, mr sargent said in the dail that enda should have spoken to Caoimhin of he wanted to be in charge..... i think sargent was up for that with FG/Lab/SF....... enda to afraid or 2 principled to talk i reckon, the fool, the fool......
Kinda hard not to see it lasting a full term. The Greens have the opportunity to effect some real change upon Ireland. They'll want to show that they are a party capable of government and aren't gonna jump too quickly especially as they know it won't cause an election. The PDs need time to rebuild and independents never like elections.Do you honestly see the current coalition lasting full term.Nobody wanted to play with Caoimhín, meanwhile Bertie, John and Mary are getting it on!

Both parties had very strong beliefs which they have now given up to get into power.

from a FG perspective i have to ask:-
a) is power worth it at any cost ?
b) how do you think the FG voters would have reacted to same?
Enda Kenny on FF government: “We’re in this mess, not because Fianna Fáil policies have failed, but because they have succeeded.”
I also do not understand the comparison between the Greens and SF.
However, in my country in Finland the Greens became a laughing stock as they abandoned all their principles in exchange of being allowed into the government. The government is going to build new nuclear-reactors, something completely against the Green-ideology, but the Greens just said ok. The government is going to harness some northern rivers for energy-production purposes, another thing which the Greens fiercely opose, but this time around no problem as long as the Greens are allowed to be in the government.
In fact, there is a joke here in Finland that they could build the new nuclear-reactor in the Green-party leader`s backyard and it would not matter as long as the Greens could be members of the government.
