Lowry was absolutely pathetic - there was supposedly a process for FG and Labour budgetary involvement, and the FF/Green Government refused to open the books or allow genuine input.
The Greens are also absolutely pathetic and so dumb they clearly didn't see what they'd spark. If they wanted the budget and plan passed they should've kept their mouth shut. The time for leaving government "in the national interest" was firstly at the bank bailout, and more recently as soon as we'd left the bond markets.
I think if the budget is passed, Labour and FG will stand by it, as they'll be able to blame FF/Greens whilst having 6 billion out of the way.
Worst possible outcome is if FF and the Greens to fail to get the budget or finance bill through, although I wouldn't be surprised if FG abstain in that well worn cliche.
At this stage I'd prefer FF have to bring forward this budget - they'd surely struggle for double figures if they do. This is our chance to rid the state of these traitors - proper "National Interest".
