Where's Wally^H^H^H^H^H Enda?

(This is Irish politics; it won't make much sense to anyone else)

I have one question about the protest march on Saturday, and it goes like this: Where the hell was Fine Gael? I know Enda Kenny was asking the Taoiseach to clarify his position on Thursday last, but that seems to me to be more a case of politically expident kicking the man when he looks like might be down. Kenny wasn't exactly stating his own position.

There was no Fine Gael representation in the march, not one banner. Labour was there. Sinn Fein was there. The Spartacists were there. I was there. But the second biggest party in Ireland had nobody there at all.

There is absolutely nothing on the Fine Gael site about Iraq.

And Fine Gael is supposed to be the opposition? They're becoming more and more indistinguishable from Fianna Fail day by day, most particularly when they don't say a word about an issue that provoked the biggest protests in Ireland in over twenty years.

Frankly, that sucks.

Scottish Labour were having a conference to determine their strategy for the forthcoming election - that didn't stop there being nearly as many of 'em out on the march as inside in the meeting.
