This is cut and paste from Examiner.ie - a great replacement for the fondly
remembered free access to the IT. www.examiner.ie. And I beg the censors to
leave this here as it is obviously a very important story to many who use
IMC. Is this the beginning of the end of Civil War politics? Is Labour in
the right list? How do the Greenies with their bizzare idea of a flat rate
tax for all fit in?

SF calls for left-wing alliance to oppose FF-PD-FG axis

Sinn Féin has called for a new alliance of left-wing parties in the Dáil to
form an opposition to the policies of Fianna Fáil, the Progressive Democrats
and Fine Gael.

Party spokesman Caoimhghin O?Caolain said he wanted Sinn Féin, the Labour
Party, the Green Party, the Socialist Party and other left-wing independents
to join forces and co-ordinate their policies.

He also criticised Labour Party leader Pat Rabbitte for persisting with the
idea of a coalition with Fine Gael.

"If we look again at Enda Kenny?s recent pronouncement in relation to
benchmarking, how can the Labour Party be aligning itself with those views?"
Mr O?Caolain asked. "We need to be giving an opposition not only to Fianna
Fáil and the PDs, but the Fianna Fáil-PD-Fine Gael axis in Leinster House."



The website has a good few interesting comments which can be read at length
(as they develop).
