From where I'm standing, FF actually now look less off-putting than either the [REDACTED] party or the "we'll accept absolutely anything, no matter how right-wing, as long as we get some culture war brownie points" excuse for a social democratic party that I'm embarrassed to say I've usually voted for in the past.
There, I've said it.
I'm sure this is exactly what the Irish public had in mind when they launched them into the chief opposition in those heady days of 2011. Why did they even coalesce with FG if they were just going to act as enablers and grant them a super-majority? A minority FG would've at least had some viable opposition, and Labour best placed to break the FF/FG duopoly in years.
A FF vote wouldn't enable FG like these quislings, I'll at least give them that. I don't understand how these eternal Nick Cleggs have survived, or what the Irish did to deserve such a f**king awful Labour party.
