The recent national election in Russia brought a tight situation and glaring issues with that SF lot.Eventually after a delay trying to have a government there was a coalition between the two main parties and a share with the Greens.That in itself kept the Sinn Fein out and that was encouraging but this former PM has said publicly that the two main parties should amalgamate being so close.
Seems he was a thinking and progressive man who got on very well with the late First Minister of Ulster Ian Paisley when both top North and South. I haven't got much care for the Green party wee lot but at least the 2 main parties in Dublin and them getting into a government coalition keeps that bunch of far left dodgy people the Sinn Fein out of government. So well done.
