Sadly it is clear that this will not be the case. The programme for government" continued Mr Finnegan "makes it clear and explicit that while there may be new cooks in the kitchen, the recipe is exactly the same"."<br />
<br />
Uh no --- there was NO majority chosen by "the people". You now have government "by coalition" and while this coaltion as a whole has a strong majority it consists of two factions with rather different agendas. In a situation like this the only things for which there would be a strong majority would be the few things where these two factions are in actual agreement. <br />
<br />
This was a "throw the bums out" election result. YES the Irish people want change but appear divided on what sort of changes they want. And sorry, but it's rather clear form the result that there is NOT a mandate for the sort of changes you would like to see. If there were, the results of the election would have been very different, more of the candidates of the left would have been elected, enough so that the new government could have been a coalition of left parties instead of this hopeless left-right coalition. <br />
<br />
Yes, "national unity" coaltions of this sort can often be effective dealing with national emergencies BUT that is true only when the issues of the emergency aren't related to the differences between the coalition partners. <br />
<br />
Get out there and organize. Maybe do better next time. You need to convince the Irish people that YOUR preferred solutions are the ones that they should want (not just "something else").'..throw the bums out..'http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99192#comment2786692011-03-11T14:29:52+00:00opus diablosOr get our bums onto their seats?

<br />
Different agendas? Only for the electorate and the election. They've been in lockstep for years, labour left, FG right, and they'll march over us just like the FF/Greengos. Its coast to coast PDs under different cosmetic veneers. <br />

The real oireachtas has shifted to the K KKlub.
