🎶You see, it should’ve been me
It could’ve been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so🎶
She’s not diplomatic enough to represent a plurality, Alan Kelly recognises this.
Not his biggest fan but I agree with him here
She’s one of the worst candidates in a generationally poor field of candidates.
He’s obviously right. Her supporters on here do her no favours.
My whelmed is positively under so far
I wouldn’t trust anyone who nominated Gemma O’Doherty for president.
She refused to clap for Zelenskyy when he was here.
Still reeling from that intervention from his power addiction a while back, I see
And you know what, she has it too.
What better endorsement of Connolly?
Agree with him or not this is a poor decision from AK.
If you’re in a political party you have your discussion indoors and go with the party decision.
Even if he just said „it wasn’t my choice but I’ll support the party decision“ that’d be something.
Otherwise why not just run as an Indo? He had a shot to lead the party and did poorly.
The irony of people on here from the left criticising Kelly for going solo and not swinging up the arms as a team player meanwhile they laud Higgins for doing exactly this during his presidency and would be all for Connolly doing same during hers! Hard left and hypocrisy never far apart ….
Labour just loves holier than thou people even if it means losing. I don’t like Alan at all, but he’s right to have a go at the party for picking a sure loser to run.
Sounds like an endorsement? How is this guy still in politics
Connolly is hard left, something most of this country, rightfully, has no time for.
