Jump To Comment: 1 2 3But D. serves the status quo, when they make him a minister. He is a fake, So is Joe Costello, who is rabidly pro Nice even though his entire labour party constituency branch is opposed to it. Who can take these fakes seriously, or the former student 'prince' pat rabbitte, who is trying to keep his head low on this issue, in order to appear like a 'radical' new leader of Labour, instead of just a boring old fart in a suit.
In the current leadership election they do not have a No to Nice candidate. Even SIPTU can manage that.
The fact that their own supporters are split 30% against 35% for and these people are not represented by anybody who might be leader of the party.

There are young labour leaders and politicans in training, so watch out for the new crop of concerned globalise resisters etc, the younger generation of future LABOUR sellouts.
