I'd agree, on the proviso you don't mention socialism, anarchism, communism, the peoples liberation front of Judea or any other loony left organisation as the solution!I believe the opposition would be just as bad as the current crowd we have in power.
We need something different. The current system lends itself to getting the worst in power. We need intelligent people who can find solutions, not the winners of popularity contests.

My understanding is they don't think our rating will go down again. Having gone down two notches, we certainly are more of a risk than we were.
Could you explain this please? How can we be less of a risk than we were a few months ago if our rating went down on 5 Nov 2009?but less of a risk than we were a few months ago - that's all I mean.
Just on this, wasn't there some commentary fairly recently from some European body - or maybe the ECB itself?

I do think we will have an election in 2010. If the Budget does not break the coalition apart (remember that they need independent support as well as the Greens), the law of averages suggests that we'll have a couple of By-elections anyway which will tip the balance towards the opposition. Its sad to say, but we usually have 1 or 2 TDs pass away each year.
I have not once heard Brian Cowen accept any responsibility for the situation, nor have I heard him talk about the need for the country to change to avoid this again in the future. Indeed he talked on the Late Late Show about getting the show back on the road and getting things back to how they were before. This is why I fear for the nation.
Sure don't worry umop3p!sdn. According to Caveat and Sunny the worse the Irish credit rating the better the outlook.

The fact that the 5 year CDS spread on our government debt is nearly twice that of Spain and that the only countries in the developed world worse than us in this regard are Greece and Iceland actually demonstrates that the government is performing well and that NAMA is a good idea.
