    Fine Gael: frontbench and top talent assessment

    who would you rate as the stars in FG ?

    I'm suggesting these rating factors, 0 low 3 high:

    Smart: well informed, intellectually curious, keen analytical feasibilities
    Results: decisive, and can bring the people with them
    Safe: not prone to rash decisions
    Charm: charisma

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Why is this thread not locked , there was already another one on who will be on the FG front bench. And there are several on the FG heave also as has been pointed out by King Kane. Is there one law for some and another for others, How about it Dave.,
    You'd think Kenny committed Treason and brought in IMF. Cowen had all in stitches in Galway at 3.30a.m.but he was "not impaired" -DD Power. FF=Publican páirtí an IMF.

    Terence Flanagan isn't on that last, and as things stand, I rate him higher than many on that list.

    Why wasn't there a category for the ability for hard graft?

    cYp, what in God's name makes you think the front bench will be chosen on merit?
