The Green Party which consists mostly of a parliamentary section and a grassroot will continue to support FF through whatever budget cuts FF deem necessary to the Irish economy without question until 2012. it really turns the spotlight onto FG's failure to capture anybody's imagination save the uber-blonde professional politician types that hang out round Mr Kenny. Yesterday 09/10/09 Minister Gormley believed that he had the media in thrall from 9am-9pm with his crack negotiating team comprised of Boyle, White and Ryan. White is notable in that in her first joint budget with FF she stood and applauded cuts to old people, she is thus not very bright (low wattage). read full story / add a comment

It's been quite some time since Berlusconi has done his baffoonery stage act at the official podium of his political office. We've seen Berlusconi on TV (his tv) at disaster sites, on foreign visits, at his football stadium, talking about his villa - but yesterday he yet again told journalists "he is irreplacable" "he is the most persecuted in history" - so many lawsuits. Thankfully he has the two thirds of a billion to pay damages against those who say he is corrupt. & his little slip of the tongue was precious.He confided that his wealth allowed him the fortune to defend himself and buy 200 million euros worth of judges. Oooooops. "l-a-w-y-e-r-s". Either someone got to his teleprompter or this is Caesar after the soothsayer shock. read full story / add a comment

The Israeli peace movement has come under attack recently. On one hand the right-wing Israeli government has subjected it to unprecedented pressure, breaking into the offices of refusenik groups, and shooting at groups like Anarchists Against The Wall. But large elements of the peace movement have collabarated with the Israeli state and have been criticised by Palestinians for their lack of solidarity. read full story / add a comment

European politics are no doubt scintilating for the average Irish citizen now Lisbon2 is behind us & our continuing place at the heart of Europe is assured. We expect the Dáil expense scandal which hints at as much outragous sociopathic graft & cheek as our rivals in the British parliament will keep us in the top rankings. We can read about Berlusconi unknowingly frolicking with prostitutes and cocaine traffickers and think it slightly pathetic that he imagined his pretty guests were up & gaggin for it. Now new scandal at the heart of Europe which alas, is in the process of being hijacked by the far right! Sarkozy's minister of Culture, Frédéric Mitterrand, who though son of the socialist president chose a rightwing career path, is at the heart of the EU. In the lead-up to a new set of agreements between France and Thailand to stem sex tourism, passages from the minister's 2005 biography describing the thrill of sex with young Thai boys are raising interest of both prurient and legitimate nature. read full story / add a comment

Article analysing the results of the referendum and the current crisis in Irish society. Points to the lessons for the left, the dangers of just calling for a no vote and the prospects for struggle. It seems to have become the norm here in Ireland for the government to repeat a referendum when it does not like the result of the first ballot. While farcical, these bullying tactics have a proven record of success. For an establishment intent on getting its own way, ‘no’ never really means ‘no’. read full story / add a comment
