.. was convincing the public that The Greens were equally to blame.

In the latest opinion polls the Green Party get a “massive” 1% support from the public. When I think about this I do find it slightly strange considering that it’s fairly obvious that Ireland is in the state it is in not because of what has happened over the past couple of years but because of all that went before. The Celtic tiger died in 2007 before The Green Party went into government.

The people who make the decisions are the people in government and therefore I took some time to calculate the amount of man days that each party has had in government since 09/03/1982. For example The Greens had 2 Ministers in the last government, each for almost a 1000 days and therefore the greens have been in Government for almost 2000 man days. Bertie Ahern alone was in government for around 6775 days since 09/03/1982. FF have been in government about 103,729 man days and have dominated government since 1982. My figures are not exactly 100% but for this purpose they are more than close enough
