As I said earlier, the FG-voting matrons of Templeogue will hold their noses and transfer to the privately-educated middle-class Trotskyist ahead of the dreadful working-class Shinner.

McNulty had some controversy and asked TD's not to vote for him

That is a bit of an understatement. FG spent the last two weeks making idiots of themselves.

There are now six Trotskyites in the Dail, representing three different political parties. Two of these have been elected in by-elections thanks to conservative voters preferring them to SF.

Seven and four if you include Séamus Healy.

FGers know on which side their bread is buttered, and which set of insurrectionists are most likely to implode into a mess of warring factions.

I was thinking of including Healy, but I don't think he's a trot so much as associates with them.
