    When will fg cop on and make Bruton leader?

    simple enough question, the dogs in the street know hes far far better then kenny.
    If a general election is called fg are likely to do far better if bruton is at the wheel.

    FF-elements in the media are trying to sow dissension within FG on the leadership question. Unfortunately for FG, too often in the past they have taken the bait, and it has been their undoing (among other things). The question is will they take the bait again and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I prefer Kenny as leader. while admiring his public-sector reform ethos, I dislike Bruton's proposals for voting-rights for non-citizens. Jody Corcoran's peace in the Sindo smacked to me of stirring the pot.

    It depends on the swing voters

    I reckon the "Breakfast Roll Neanderthal" is who FG are trying to attract

    A poshish sounding economist will enrage the "Breakfast Roll Neanderthal", this beast is aware that toffy nerds are needed in the backroom but they'd run from FG if they saw him in charge

    Not exactly, but there's something re-assuring about Kenny for the "Breakfast Roll Neanderthal". Kenny is from Mayo, his face looks like it came out a cow's arsse and he's not the brightest.

    I disagree with the second two.

    In fairness, his persona screams "adequate junior minister" not "great Taoiseach"

    I think "Geography Teacher" sums him up nicely.

    So he's gonna write a note in the bankers journals and tell them they've been very bold?
