Such are the wondrous ways of the Web that I, sat here in Brisbane, have just been forwarded a photocopy of the front page of the tabloid the Irish Daily Star headline 'Useless Gobshites'. This can be seen at < http://politicalscrapbook.net/2010/11/irish-daily-star-useless-gobshites/>. The site for the paper has apparently collapsed due to the traffic. So the headline in a right wing rag captures exactly the sentiment of the masses. I personally doubt if the Irish ruling class want an election in this atmosphere. The hatred, fear, anger and volatility might not be so easy for them to channel in moderate directions. The Greens seem to have finally awakened to the fact that they too are about to be destroyed. They have gone all the way with Faina Fail and now hopefully they are about to cease to exist as an electoral force. BTW looking at what the Greens in Germany and in Ireland achieved while they were in government makes one wonder about the potential of the Aussie variety of Green parliamentarians. comradely Gary ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
