now as many of you know there's going to be a postal strike everywhere but dublin (doesn't affect that many of you i know but)
my opinion is whats the point of a postal strike everywhere but dublin. look at it from the point of view of where the party leaders are situated, ahern - dublin, quinn - dublin, harney - dublin, sergeant - dublin, joe higgins (socialist party for those of you who don't know who he is or those who thought he was an independent - originally a kerry man but represents the constituency of dublin west and is a member of fingal county council (scary the amount i know about joe higgins while most people don't even know ireland has a socialist party )
the only 2 parties who's parliamentary party leaders are from outside dublin are Sinn Fein and FG and lets face it no one cares or listens to what FG or SF (note, caomighin o'caoilin is the sinn fein parliaqmentary party leader and he is a monaghan man *shivers*)
anyway the two major parties (pd's and ff's) leaders are situated in the dublin area so i believe it would make greater sense to make it a universal strike taking in all of ireland
it would be more successful as it would bring the main place and the place which holds 33% of the population and lets face it an upper hand in political matters to a standstill, the strike will be more effective , am i wrong?
