I am not sure what inference I can draw from your reference to the (possible) malapropism ! Thanks for the comment John.

The potential scenario you outline would support that. I agree with you that it is really hard to see FF running the full term - a tired administration lacking a mandate for where we now area. The challenge is for the alternative to make a strong enough case to maximise their vote and the contribution of A Dukes and G Fitzgerald on NAMA makes FG look opposition for the sake of it, as well as lacking in political savvy / grand design. PS. I presume your phrase "unions are planning to ballad their members" is a malapropism and not a typo.

Look where it got them... The Celtic tiger was created in the 1990's under the rainbow collation but left to FF to bring us to where we are now. Could not agree more with your post. The electorate quickly forget and FG/Lab will pick the pieces and start to fix it (the economy) only for FF to come back again for 10 more years!
