More Subterfuge from Gormley.

After recent denials of interest in Green Party leadership it emerges John Gormley has been soliciting support for the last week.

In the weeks since Trevor Sargent's "honourable" resignation, new Environment minister, and Green Party Chairman, John Gormley, has gone on record several times denying any interest in the leadership.
In the last few days he has stated that he will only consider entering the contest after a period of consultation with friends and family.
The email below, sent out to a select few by Colm O'Caomhanaigh, secretary of Gormley's constituency group, paints a very different picture.
It was forwarded to me by someone who mistakenly thought I would still have a shred of respect for man who has betrayed the founding principles of a once great party.
Mr. Gormley is to be congratulated on the speed at which he is learning the art of spin from his new colleagues in Government.
