      This is the near future for any party that gets in bed with FFFG.

      You’d be a brave man to go down the bookies and put the house on O’Gorman winning that last seat IMO. SF, Soc Dems and Labour just behind him and likely to get a better share of each other’s transfers than he’s likely to get.

      I can’t wait to see him offer to join the coalition government in the position of ‘Ablative Environment Minister’.

      FF/FG would probably accept.

      He’s a terrible person to have picked as leader. This always happens to them. They govern with integrity, become unpopular, then swing back and repeat.

      Failed to implement a cohesive strategy to encourage the adoption of EV’s.

      Failed to lay a single kilometre of additional railway track.

      Failed to implement much heralded bus connects scheme in Cork.

      Failed to allow LNG terminals for ideological reasons.

      Failed to allow even a debate about clean nuclear energy.

      Failed to approve any additional motorways.

      Failed miserably to maintain the support of the electorate.

      Who’d have thought? Happily their cynical attempts to exploit the climate emergency for their own ideological and political gain has been firmly rejected by the Irish electorate. Maybe now we can have an adult debate about the climate emergency without their student union politics.

      shame it’s not a compete and utter wipeout / deletion of the Greens from politics 😞

      No guarantee O’Gorman will keep his seat. At best he has a 50:50 chance.

    11. closetcuck1741 on

      Well at least he can’t be challenged for the leadership.

      They deserve it. They and their stupid policies.

      For people who voted for the greens last time and didn’t this time, what did you expect from them?

      The reason I ask is that from my perspective, they actually did a lot of things they said they would. Sure, going into gov with FF/FG wasn’t what people would’ve wanted, but given the numbers that was one of the few options to a stable government, and in that gov they actually achieved loads given their size. Maybe I’m just too much of a pragmatist dad these days though.

      It’s been the way for forever, small party goes into government and gets a lot of then backlash, just look at Labour and Greens of the past. After being in power they struggle for about 2 cycles after

      Great news. No more blackmailing the larger parties for bullshit taxes.

      A party that ideologically opposes nuclear power and genetic engineering. But thinks climate change will be solved by taxing the shit out of people.

      Good riddance.

      As soon as I seen O Gorman was leader it was never on the cards , fairly unlikeable by the general public .

      If you draw support from the left and you go into government with right wing parties you will lose your support. This is not rocket science but it eludes Greens and Labour.

      A stark warning to SDs and LAB. I think we will have a hung Dail.

    22. bobbyperu1971 on

      A deeply unlikeable man. Never owned his mistakes, just dug his heels in and insisted we do as he says. Could never take him serious after that virtue signalling tweet in 8 languages. 

    25. SoLong1977 on

      Was he the muppet who tweeted in different languages for migrants to come to Ireland where they will be given free accommodation ?

      Obviously, not ennough people are aware of the exitential threat to humanity.
