Well it's been an interesting day here in Kilkenny. My impressions are that we are a party on the cusp of a breakthrough in Irish politics. There is a sense of history being made as Labour prepares to run as a party in its own right in a political system that is ready to break into a traditional left-right political system.
Only yesterday I read of Fine Gael strengthening its links with the Tory Party in the
On the other side Fianna Fail are now the party of the right as they have adopted so many of the PDs policies they would be an acceptable coalition partner for Margaret Thatcher herself!
Labour is only party which offers the one thing that we all need right now and that is HOPE! While FG, FF and the Greens offer the politics of FEAR, Labour is ready to offer solutions and optimism to our current situation.
I expect the Leader to stake out our policies this evening and to make very clear to the voter and the other political parties that the Labour Party is a third party with its own ideas, identity and politices.
