Seachain an duine a bhíonn ina thost

Gosh there's coalitions left, right and centre (and between the three). What an indecisive public we are.

Plaid, the fickle party that they are, are now toying with the idea of entering coalition with Labour.

But what's more interesting is that the Green Party in Ireland is now in government, albeit in coalition with The Nasties (a.k.a. Progressive Democrats) and Fianna Fail. At least The Nasties only have two TDs (Greens have six).

I liked what Ciaran Cuffe was saying about the coalition bringing together pragmatists and idealists; I'm starting to feel quite excited about our new government. The Green Party will be getting two ministries; here's hoping they get Transport at the very least, and ideally Transport and the Environment. We could see some actual investment in these areas; wouldn't that be novel?
