    Default Fine Gael Leader

    Let's talk about the Opposition (such as it is) for a minute. I thought Enda Kenny's "New Deal" gimmick in the last election was a great bit of electioneering, and I was therefore amazed that all you stupid cunts voted FF back in again

    But I was watching Prime Time earlier and saw Richard Bruton bate the living shite (figuratively) out of Brian Lenihan in a studio debate regarding the Budget, and I was thinking "Why the FUCK is this man not the leader of his party?"

    He's eloquent, intelligent, earnest, an excellent debater and I'd vote for him in a heartbeart before I voted for Enda.

    So why's he not leader of the Opposition?

    Maybe that is his choice. If there is a change of government in the next 2 years or so Enda may be Taoiseach and if he screws things up Bruton would be ready to step into his shoes.
    Then again maybe he has rivals within the party who dont want him as leader.
    The Truth is out there.

    Are you kidding me fine gael I'm sure are delighted they didn't get voted in as they would have had to face the envitable I don't think anyone could have stopped the recession a worldwide one at that. You cant change a complete reliance on a property market (bubble) to keep an economy going and change it to something else.

    Totally agree Richard is articulate, no nonsense, doesnt take 5 minutes to ask a question like Enda. Eamon Gimore is pretty good these days with that sex on legs woman joan *drool*

    Not sure Richard Bruton would make a good party leader......a decent wing man to have bat for you on serious economic stuff.....but he does'nt scream Taoiseach to me.

    Just look at Cowan.....when he became leader of Fianna Fail and Taoiseach, the gobshite journos praised him for his experience in directing the economy, his intelligence, his go-get-it no nonsense approach and his ability to get things done and to instill belief and confidence. Ffs, without the money to throw at every problem, a la Bertie, Cowan just froze like a rabbit caught in the headlights.....Lenihan runs this government and make no mistake about that.

    A good Taoiseach needs a hard ruthless side to exert him/herself against all comers.....De Valera had it, Haughey, for all his faults and corrupt ways had it, even Lynch had it when it when it mattered....it's basically about having the stomach for a fight and the ability to keep your enemies divided and on the back foot. Cowan has just about managed to unite the entire country against himself and Fianna Fail, and the leadership of the opposition does'nt exactly inspire confidence.....those clowns tried to out bid FF in their attempts to buy the voters at the last general election......and it's only FF incompetence that's making them look good now.

    Richard bruton is brill in finance, leave him there. Although someday, i can't wait to see george Lee be minister for finance and speak for the people and cut all these expenses and other bull costs to the state.

    dont be fooled by politicians. The party in opposition always look and sound better. Then when they are voted in they u-turn on everything promised. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    Maybe Richard is a member of E-I and Enda knows that.
    Once a prick - always a prick.

    So what are you suggesting? Leave FF in office just because there's no viable alternative? I've heard this argument before and I disagree - that sort of political apathy, endemic in this miserable little hole of a country, is what's kept the bastards in there for so long. Much as I'd love to see Labour or somebody get a majority in the next election, I'm getting tired of wasting my vote on them and the Socialist parties. If we're going to get them out, they have to be voted out. And that means voting for the Opposition parties.
