Kelly ‘doesn’t believe’ Labour will enter coalition, but Tánaiste says framework doc might change their response

Labour leader Alan Kelly Labour leader Alan Kelly TÁNAISTE SIMON COVENEY has said political parties who have ruled themselves out of government formation, such as Labour, might change their mind once they see the framework document Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are drafting.

He said that while Labour will “talk to anybody who wants to talk to us”, the focus is on the parties that secured a large number of seats. “It’s quite disappointing that it seems that they are not willing to put their shoulders to the wheel and stay on the pitch and get involved in this.” He said the smaller parties have to think about whether they want to play a constructive role in forming a government, stating that when the public health emergency is over, and there is a period of reflection, they will be asked what role they played “in a constructive sense”.

While all eyes have been on Kelly since his election as Labour leader at the weekend, Kelly said the Labour party will play a “huge part” in shaping Ireland’s recovery.“It’s amazing that Keynesian economics is back in fashion. He added: “It’s my job to ensure we will not be swamped, we will be different and I aspire to doing so, to making us very, very relevant, punching way above our weight into the future, but I also want to say we need a strong opposition into the future.”

The cave dwellers FF&FG are desperate to get back into government how plane can it be they are not wanted they were voted out of government using the Corona virus for cover the public see through them

He couldn’t direct piss into a bucket

Alan Kelly, the labour party must actually want to out of its misery

The program for government will be spectacular.....Sweeping reform, no going back to the ways of old.....the most radical version of more of the same that you've ever seen

Fine Gael & Fianna Fail were both rejected by the people. Now without guilt or any embarrassment they plead for a mudguard,while ignoring the party & their voters that will stop their corrupt gravy train.

He also said sinn fein might obstruct fg ff policies if they were part of the new gov.. stitch up !!! and we will pay for this and the previous disregard for the wishes of the public by this caretaker government
