I could not agree more with Noel Whelan in today’s Irish Times
.
George Lee has been the anchor commentator for RTE on the economy and the actions taken by the government throughout the current crisis. He now puts himself forward as a candidate for the main opposition party in the forthcoming by- election. I think three months off – between the RTE job and being a FG candidate would be entirely appropriate.
The more I look at it the more I believe we need national government. The government has started to prescribe the tough medicine – with a lot more to come. We do not need party politics at this time. We need choices from the right and left of centre. Time for FG/FF to be big boys and bury the hatchet. And there should be a left of centre alternative – to be led by Labour.
