il never forgive labour for joining up with Fine Gael in 2007

[Ballyfermot Man]

All the negative talk about the Mullingar Accord, yet Lab/FG would be in power if Lab had zoned in on Dublin North, Meath East and Dublin South Central, 3 seats frittered away by a lack of intellegence on the ground, and lack of footsoldiers and poor candidates. (Sean Ryans' brother is a case in point, when they had a choice of much better candidates)

If FG & Lab had balls and called FF/PDs on their nonsense they could have taken them out in 2007. Instead they played it safe too scared to say the good times were unsustainable and over for fear of scaring Breakfast Roll Man and all that.

We called them on their nonsense and put forward quite an alternative plan for the country. We barely held on to our seats.

The electorate are not really open to new ideas for the most part, least of all in the boom times.

You have a point in Dub North, but you're completely wrong with the other two.

Labour's biggest mistake was when Spring got the hump in 1994, resuscitated FG and paved the way for the neo-liberal PD's to dominate public policy making from 1997.We are now paying the price for the Spring/Finlay hissy fit
