Labour and the new Paddy Power opinion poll

[dresden8]

As long as Labour maintains the Croke Park agreement then they should surely maintain the PS voting bloc, which is certainly big enough to give Labour strong representation in seats. Who else are the PS going to vote for?

If the CPA was threatened then they would have to pull out of government or risk a meltdown.

And no, I don´t want a PS versus Private Sector "debate", just speaking in raw political terms.

You're off message. The PS voting bloc is entirely FF.

You mustn't have gotten the P.ie memo on the issue.

We cant spend our lives on the opposition benches we have to tread the thin red line that is government
We have to grasp at the opportunity to achieve something anything
I would be disappointed in my party if it didnt
Would it not be great to look back in 5 15 20 50 years time and say yes we were the party that took the hard unpopular necessary decisions to get the country back on track ? I know id be proud

LP "leaders" could do with this:

So with the new Paddy Power opinion poll showing the party at 16% down 3 on their GE performance same as FG, it must surely demonstrate that the party support is holding up well particularly seeing as this is the first poll since the budget and 16 is a good performance in light of the hugely negative publicity over the last month

it also shows the inaccuracy of the behaviour and attitudes polling company for the Irish Times going further to show that they are consistently way off

That's what I'm taking from the poll doomsday predictions avoided thus far

Now at 10% the oul doomsday predictions are nigh

Aw now at 13% are they still holding up

Whoops!

[Normal Lord]

Holding up? Be serious

"Labour, where election promies get abandoned when cushy jobs turn up"
Every little hurts right?

[Nordie Northsider]

Is it embarrassing for Labour members, that their party is still called The Labour party?

Could be worse - it could have the word 'socialist' in it. That would be hilarious.
