Labour at 6%

It's kicking off!

 
Time for Joan Burton to show her hand.

Be careful of what you wish for !

I know. I think I heard the collective groan from FG ministers from here. I wonder if she will get it. Obvious choice but I wonder if she is a bit too combative for some in Labour.
 
The only thing that can stop Sinn Féin now is for them to go into Government as junior partner in a Coalition .
 
Joan Burton is far and away Labour's best option, Howlin just seems inherently smug. She's done a great job at DSP to my mind.
 
The only chance for labour is to go down a generation. Alex White, Arthur Spring. JB has been Gilmores Deputy, she represents more of the same.

However there is no getting away from their basic problem. Middle class voices expressing working class concerns. The workers want working class accents now.
 

The middle class is the working class. The "wurkers" are the low paid and long-term unemployed class.
 
Alex White as the compromise candidate I reckon.

As for Arthur Spring...are you serious. Former Anglo middle mgmt- the oposition would have a field day
