Interesting that in England, Scotland, and now Ireland, the respective Labour parties have all changed leaders in non-contests. Rhodri Morgan and Mark Durkan watch out!

It would be very surprising if there's no contest when Morgan retires (most likely in 2009). Rumoured candidates include:

Carwyn Jones (Bridgend)
Andrew Davies (Swansea West)
Edwina Hart  (Gower)
Huw Lewis (Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney)
Leighton Andrews (Rhondda)
Jane Davidson (Pontypridd)

It'd be very surprising if Lewis and Andrews both run, ditto some of the other "candidates".

They're simply abandoning FF and not liking the look of then alternatives. Just where this leads...Huh

Regrettably, the answer is probably "largely returning to FF as soon as an election is called with a substantial minority staying home". Though Irish politics is so weird that, maybe, that won't happen.

It was played on Channel Four news here. Maybe on other news programmes as well.

Do you want a Donegal by-election thread over at the International Elections board?

I think the recent posts on that topic could be split into a separate topic, which could then be exported into the international elections board and turned into a by-election thread. Andrew would have to do it though.

Well, yeah. For one thing they started from a much lower base.

I take it that the paper will not be endorsing Fianna FAIL in the election?

I for one am caught completely unawares by these accusations.

Personally I am shocked and even somewhat disappointed. Such conduct I would never have expected from a man who shines with the sheer force of his own integrity quite so much as Lowry.

Unfortunately you also wouldn't be able to rule out the possibility of making a total fyck up of leading the opposition.

The utter awfulness of Ireland's political parties is currently a thing of wonder.

At least you're spared having to vote for them.

You have my deepest (and entirely genuine) sympathies.

Do we have a NI thread? Couldn't find one after a very quick search, so...

Eddie McGrady (SDLP MP for South Down 1987-2010) has died.

By 'they' do you mean the water charges, the stickies, or both?
