Cool PDs wind up

with all the gloom and doom in recent months at last a ray of sun shine. The right wing PDs consigned to the dust bin of history.

Now if we could have a GE that would really make the country a nicer place as well.

The PDs weren't even monetarists FFS. The State and public sector budget expanded at a rate out of all proportion the quality of frontline service delivery over the last 10years. Also, without control over interest rates, the economy became overheated and uncompetitive without any fiscal plan to dampen things down - hardly the stuff of a right-wing monetarist party.

They dont appear to be moneteriata certainly, but the policies they have advoacted are supply side economics noetheless, and therfore on the economic right of the spectrum

P.D. R.I.P. -- good riddance, I say. I remember as an economic exile in the 80's being told on the phone there was a new political party in Ireland: yes! I thought, finally! Time people woke up! Imagine my disbelief and ultimate dismay when I was told they were to the right of FF?

Never before has so much damage been done by so few. McCreevy and his Thatcherite economics started the rot, McDowell tipped it over the edge with this dithering over stamp duty, and finally Harney ensured that the bankruptcy was not only financial, but also moral.

Wait and see -- FF's scapegoating plans are just getting started.

But look on the bright side .... George Bush AND the PDs both gone in the same week! Yay!

A fantastic day for Ireland!!!

Herr McDowell didn't even turn up at the meeting, the spineless git that he is.
