Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are often sneeringly referred to as Tweedledum and Tweedledee,such is the apparent little difference in policy terms between them as political parties .
This is grossly unfair to both,but the recent confidence and supply agreement operated by both prior to the 2020 General Election seems to strengthen this illusion and was probably a huge mistake for Fianna Fail under Michael Martin to agree to and support.
It was also a betrayal by him to facilitate the legal murder of the living unborn by his actions in undermining his Deputies who mostly oposed it.
He weakened his Party and lost hundreds of thousands of supporters in my opinion.
Fine Gael on the other hand have strenghtened their support by being red hot supporters of abortion ,which in my view is sinful to say the least.
The founders of both parties,breakaways from Sinn Fein in the 1920's ,were brave men and women,who in the War of Independence took on the might of the British Empire and secured self goverence for 26 counties at least.
Thus the germs of the Civil War where the Free Staters ,led by Michael Collins morphed into Fine Gael and those who wanted the whole 32 counties morphed into Fianna Fail led by Eamonn De Velera were sown.
De Velera is head and shoulders above all others as the one true Statesman who has emerged in Ireland to date.
These were brave people and it is wrong to mock them and some of their families still feel deeply the wrongful masacres suffered by their ancestors.
Because of theie support for abortion I can sadly no longer support either Party ,nor indeed Sinn Fein,Labour ,the Social Democrats,the Greens nor any of the other fringe left leading Parties whose Social and moral principles are abhorrent to me.
This is probably no concern to them anyhow as they would regard me as a liabiliry ,that is if they have any regard me at all and indeed don't care if they make me feel a stranger in my own Country.
Now to this proposed merger of Fianna Fail,Fine Gael and the Greens.
That both the Fianna and Fine Gael have agreed to share power surely earns them the right to be called Tweedledum and Tweedldee or alternatively Goosy ,Goosy.
The Gander comes into it as a consequence of a descriptive comment by a friend of a guy with a long and tough neck as having a "Ganderry auld neck",which perfectly described him and there are a few of them in the Greens.
And they have some necks.Mostly rooted in surburban AND SNOBBY IELAND AND FAR BETTER OFF THAN MOST ,they are poised to wreak havock on rural Ireland and turn it into an eco retreat for their supporters to roam and expect the locals,whoever remain, to kow tow to them in gratitude.
I am reminded of what I witnessed myself some years ago.
My aunt had two female geese.They were contraty so she got a gander to placate them.
They shared a pond about three feet deep.They fell in love.
The gander took on goose number one sexually.He saw to her by mounting her underwater and screwed her into the muck at the bottom of the pool,where she got stuck and drowned.I could not stop him.
Similarly with goose number two.
Fine Gael and Fianna Fail members ,beware of the gander.
O Cuiv is right.
