Now you know how I felt when George W. was voted back in office.

At least here there is a two term limit for the President.

If you see my latest post and its comments… I’m looking for a Minister for Health.

I have some fairly revolting habits, drinking from the milk bottle and putting it back into the fridge, etc.

Would they do for starting a revolution?

Ian,
I think we all had the same predictions, and we were wrong.

All I can see now is a period of instability. Whoever ends up in power is going to have to rely on small parties and independents. The Greens must be laughing. I know Tony Gregory was!

Want to join the revolution I’m organising?

Grandad,

I wrote a disastrously wrong blog a few weeks ago on the strange death of Fianna Fail. I actually thought that they would lose votes to Fine Gael on the right and Sinn Fein on the left and that they would find themselves with no niche.

What has happened is that the two wings of politics have collapsed - Sinn Fein on the left and the PDs on the right and that there is a squabble for votes in the centre.

From a spectator’s point of view it’s interesting. I think it happened not because of any political convictions but because there is an air of uncertainty in the economy and incumbent governments are seen as providing a safe pair of hands

@ Skellig If you look at it properly it is a triumph for Fine Gael. They have repaired the damage from the last general election.

It was almost guaranteed from the outset that it would be a FF government this time out but the ground made up more than makes up for it.

Also it is a major success in that the PD’s are pretty much yesterdays news. Mad Mullah McDowell has retired much to almost every serving Garda’s relief.

OK we still have the grotesquely obese outgoing Minister for health but we can’t have everything. Can we? At least she will no longer be the minister for Health.

Grandad, sign me up for the revolution, I’ve had to stop watching the telly because I was going to start throwing things. After a day spent trying to get my little girl treated in A&E I’m spitting feathers.

How is it that I can’t find anyone who says they voted for FF? Not a single person I’ve spoken to says they gave them a single vote and yet they have this huge majority.

Maybe they just see the murder in my eyes and are afraid to admit it

Ah yes, the “Real Taoiseach”. He smoked a pipe too, didn’t he?
