George Lee resigns from Fine Gael and as a TD

[Nodin]

Perhaps that is what he was told to get him to run?

Aye, though I'd say it was more vague promise than concrete proposal.

[An Gilladaker]

Here's an interesting idea: Mairead McGuinness to run in Dublin South, and then go for the leadership of FG...

This is the time for Micheal Noonan to step forward and lead FG

[David Cochrane]

George Lee on RTE Radio 1 *now*

[Mitsui2]

sad result for someone who thought political Ireland was open to change

And underlining still further the seemingly unavoidable fact that the whole rotten edifice is irrelevant.

[Verhofstadt]

Enda's position is untenable after this, I had someone has the balls to push for a leadership vote.

[kerrynorth]

He sounds very bitter about his time in FG.

[sandar]

that should be then end of kenny.........would rather have lee in the dail than almost any other

[Chrisco]

I'm throwing this out again....

Here's an interesting idea: Mairead McGuinness to run in Dublin South, and then go for the leadership of FG...

Also, this reflects very badly on Richard Bruton.

*Holds head in despair*

[Panopticon]

Major damage control by Lucinda Creighton on Newstalk saying it was telling that he was resigning from the Dail and not going Independent.

Aye, it means he has integrity as opposed to job-seeking. Nothing good for Fine Gael in it though.

[toughbutfair]

Certainly his negativity was missed on RTE, he was very convincing for Joe Soap.

Any silver line has a dark cloud with him. Surely he can't comment on RTE anymore as he cannot be seen to be neutral?
