PDs - 1 senate seat now likely

[Insider2007]

If, as now reported by David on this site, the Greens get only 2 senate seats, that will mean that the PDs, with only 2 TDs compared with the Greens' 6, will only be eligible to 1 seat at most.

I wouldn't bet on it. All the indications so far are Harney has negotiated a much better deal than the Greens.

That would be utterly hilarious

It could be 1 PD & Colm O'Gormon for his work in 1 in 4, even though this would be 2 it could be spun as 1.

Oooh they would be fighting from day 1. That is exactly what Ahern wants.

Idle, and I'd imagine very doubtful speculation..

the Greens are getting two senior Ministries, so the PD's will get two Senators...

So you think that Ahern will give a party in his government with 6 TDs 2 seats, and a party in his government with 2 seats 2 senators also? That would leave FF with 7 seats. FF with its partners are already likely to be in a minority in the senate.

One Minister- Mary
Two Senators- Colm and ?

Minihan?

[rockofcashel]

No chance Minihan.. if the PD's are serious about re-building, they need to pick senators that have some sort of appeal, and are at least 50/50 to win a future seat.

Minihan will never be elected
