We have the power now to remove Fianna Fail for once and for all

* The current corrupt and incompetent Irish Government should go:
Fianna Fail has been in power throughout the boom and squandered all the wealth that rightfully belonged to the Irish people. Now that times are hard, they have created a budget that targets the young, the sick and the old. Meanwhile the bankers and developers who helped caused this economic crisis are bailed out. The Greens hold the balance of power. If we can remove the Greens, we remove the Government.

* Fianna Fail need to go:
Fianna Fail are corrupt and incompetent. They have never been as weak in terms of support and if a general election were called NOW they would be decimated. They would have little possibility of gaining power for many, many years. As the recent budget shows, Fianna Fail have failed their own traditional supporters and the Irish people. If we can remove the Greens, we remove Fianna Fail.

* We need to save the Green Party from it’s own leadership:
The Green Party have a strong history of being a party of conscience, a party of principle. The longer they remain in power in this Government, the more likely the possibility that the Green Party will suffer the fate of the Progressive Democrats. If we can remove the Greens, we may be able to salvage the respect and integrity of the Green Party, despite it’s current leadership.
