Conman comes clean (sort of)
Gormley ‘fesses up:
Green Party leader John Gormley has said he believes many voters feel they were conned by politicians at the last general election.
But wait, what’s this?:
He said he believed the figures may be explained by a feeling that politicians misled voters about the state of the economy in the run-up to last year’s election.
Well, okay John, I’ll grant you that. But what about the voters who were misled by your former party leader, Trevor Sargent? Clever Trevor, if you recall, swore that he would never lead the Greens into government with the Cute Hoors. And I know that technically he didn’t. But many people – yes, myself included – voted Green on the basis that the Green Party would not be going into government with Fianna Fail.
I don’t see any mention of that deception in Gormley’s statement.
Never mind, though: what goes around comes around.
The Green Party is down by 1pc to 4pc, but party leader John Gormley has seen his popularity also drop substantially by 12 points to 28pc.
