Stuffed Greens

@Dan D

Out of curiosity: What is wrong with the Green party in Ireland in your opinion or why did the Irish voters teach them a lesson as you say?

The Greens entered a coilition with one of the most corrupt governments possible after stating that they would never join in or legitimise such behavior.
They joined in for an offer of a few crumbs that might at some time in the future once hell had frozen over be thrown to them.
At any time at all they could have collapsed the govt. and kicked the crooks out. For years they just kept hanging on for some imaginary crumbs they thought they had been promised.
Even when it was obvious to even the blind that the govt. was nothing but a train wreck they still insisted in propping up the wreckage and driving another train into the pile for good measure.

Would not people blame the Conservatives or Labour for the present economic situation in Ireland?

People blame the Failers for the mess but blame the Greens for keeping them in power.

I see, thx. And "Failers" are the Conservatives and together they were the coalition government over the past years. Labour Party on the rise.

On a related front Britains Liberal Party have just paid the price for climbing into bed with the tory party.
They got such a kicking they lost their deposit in the election and managed to even get beaten by a couple of the racist and loony parties(not the proper monster loony party though as they came in 8th)

Such is the price of throwing everything out the window for a small seat at the big table
