    Sorry, I was just pointing out the fallacy at the heart of his point. That sometimes there are so many that they do decide your future politically.

    Disastrous decision by the Greens. If they want to recover they need to purge themselves of Ryan, Gormely, White, O Broilchain etc. They cannot be trusted.

    As long as anyone associated with the last government is in a position of power in the Greens I will not vote for them.

    No, his point is exactly right. It refers to the people that hate you all along.
    You don't have to worry about such people.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    Anyone any idea of the voter turnout and who was second and third. Was it a runaway win for Ryan or close.

    of course the Green support openess and transparency and all that sort of thing and will release the figures.........

    Ryan wasn't my choice, but I'm willing to work with him.

    Swings and roundabouts. You have a valid point, but weigh against it his expertise and experience. And his vote was kind of respectable, even though the election was held on national green-kicking day.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    I’m just stunned that he managed to beat a political giant like Phil Kearney – proud recipient of 683 first preference votes in Dublin Central at the General Election. Truly, the Greens are a party of big beasts.

    No, they aren't people who hate FF because it's FF, the way that critics of the Greens here do. No fallacy at all.
