With friends like these.... "No one believes that a Fine Gael-Labour-Green Rainbow could win a majority and have more seats than Fianna Fail, the Progressive Democrats, the non-left independents and Sinn Fein "" The next Irish General Election cannot be viewed simply as a battle between the current coalition Government and a rainbow coalition, Injustice Minister McDowell insisted at the PD love in at Limerick today. |

I never even got on Telly.
I did a radio interview though...
I do three surgeries in my constituency every month, and listen to my voters...
I know my party is going to implode at the next election, sure its taken for granted...
I might lose my seat...
I've been behind Bertie all the way...
But.
I'm having doubts now.
My loyalty is to my constituents and the party, thats why I joined FF. I'm passionate about politics and don't want to be a hurler in the ditch.
I understand the Irish people, what makes us great & what future we can have.
I know we're supposed to be silent, stay out of the limelight, so that we don't lose too many seats & a smooth transfer of power happens to the rainbow coalition, "same as always"...
I know that's supposed to mean we come back stronger than ever...
But.
I'm having doubts...
My constituents are having doubts...
My party are having doubts...
I can't leave my name.
I'm "an anonymous FF backbencher" who is wondering aloud -
Is it time to call the snap election?
just do it!!!!
we're going to have Willie O Dea as leader, I know thats the plan & we're supposed to be preparing to
take the piss out of Enda & Pat for a few years to guarantee our democracy....
We can't create a single party state now we're in the EU.
But.
I'm having doubts...
My constituents are having doubts...
My party are having doubts...
Which way is best to go?
Can't we just trust the people again?
Let them trust us?
and never ever have to worry about Michael mc Dowell ever ever again.
