This just rumbles on and will continue to until begin to discuss what they expect from a Labour Party
I expect them to offer a solution to the downward turn that our countries (( include Ireland) have taken
Here we have a fairer system than Britain here, even the losers get a say in the running of the country - theoretically
At the last election, Sinn Fein was obviously the people's choice and would now be running Ireland had they been able to afford enough candidates - they are quite likely to win the next election
The two major parties haven't yet devised a cunning pln to exclude them from the Government that is being formed, but they're working on it
Unlike Britain, there hasn't been a campaign of hate to keep them from taking their prize, just a few rumblings - we tend to have a less hysterical
press
Interesting days

I have reservations about S.F. (not the usual ones), but they offer welcome and needed change rather than rhetoric and personalities and they have representatives who seem to know what people want and need and care about it
I believe that if you scratch the surface of any people, especially those in the level of trouble we are, that's what all but the mindless few want (I refuse to believe there are enough of them to matter)

I'm exceedingly grateful to our extreme rightists here - their postings of support for Sir K - if I had any doubt about my summing up of him, they've put them fairly firmly to rest
