    (As somebody said at the time, its like politics meets 'What not to wear').
    Why gives a fukk what they wear or how they look? No wonder the country is in such a state if thats how you judge politicians. I bet you really loved Bertie and appreciated the amount he spent on makeup eh goosegimp?

    You are the kind or person who would probably have dismissed the guys in the picture below as hippies and freaks who were wasting their time, right? Tosser.

Strange values - strange guy - strange Party - probably just as well that it's now extinct.
    did he not resign as he didn't want to lead the Greens into gov't with FF, principled man indeed; but then took a junior ministerial post, mind you you probably get a merc, but the perc is you can get a mate off a charge - was that not FF - no the principled Greens.
    Wonder what the principle was - fill yer boots.

    In fact the end of the GP was nigh when they started their mass raid on M+S

    Plus I think that's Frank Gallagher on the right of the photo - not a Fis nua member

    Meanwhile is any other party proposing reform of political donations or does that idea disappear with GP seats?
