    CLOWEN can no longer claim Harney as any class of a mudguard!
    He reappointed her!
    He backed her in the no confidence motion!
    And now he backs her as an independant!

    He wants her because he wants her!

    Simple as that!

    Well done to the members, they made the right decision and the party was dead either way.

    I'm having difficulty finding the words to express how happy I am to see these money-grabbing, self-centred, principle-less f*ckweasels die in mounds of their own shyte. Oh, I found the words...

    A great day for democracy.
    The people have spoken and said they don't want the PD's policies. Now we have to get rid of the Greens who have assumed their mantle and are now the most right-wing party in the Dail.

    Why do so many blame the PD's for neoliberal policies?
    Why are they forgetting FF's role?

    Harney gave us the minimum wage which is more than Labor, FF or FG did for workers.

    Er..the people haven't spoken. It was the PDs themselves that wound the whole thing up.

    I never knew that the PD's were in power on their own - who says spin doesn't work
