    Hold on, what we are looking here for Turkeys who would vote for Christmas, i.e. a TDs who would vote for something that would damage his/her career (if I understand the ananogy correctly).


    For example if a SF TDs was to vote in favour of anti-sheep smugling bills, thus depriving his party an important scoure of funds.

    Honestly I don't think any of or TDs are that thick. With maybe one exception......

    Virtually all FF and FG TDs will always vote with the party line (especially if they're in government). The term "rebel TD" is practically an oxymoron, since disobeying the whip is so uncommon (simply not turning up for votes doesn't count). With this in mind, practically all of the TDs in the two main parties would vote for christmas if they were turkeys (provided they weren't given a free vote).
