@marklittlenews that means it's about George Lee's interpretation (change) rather than FG's (work, toil, be patient).
@marklittlenews Or a political system which requires work and dedication versus a media which focuses on stunts and superficial analysis?
@marklittlenews I completely agree, perhaps it's a lesson that needs to be heeded.
@marklittlenews I agree that talent should be fast tracked and rewarded but was the talent really there? Scant evidence to date.
@marklittlenews Ah Mark, change is so 2008.
@marklittlenews lost opportunity by George Lee - by coming across as a 'bottler' his walk away has lost credibility
@marklittlenews That's a bit on the profound side for this time of the day. Excellent, excellent point though.
@marklittlenews #GLee takes holiday from one cushy job, costs tax payer for byelection, then resigns in hissy fit, goes back to cushy job
@marklittlenews Hmm. I thought it was about someone treating his constituents & electorate with contempt when he didn't succeed right away.
@marklittlenews any chance we could have another dimension like the US system. All the hacks stay in Dail but president has real power!
@marklittlenews --- Ahhh Mark! Pick a bloody side, will you???!!!
@marklittlenews I agree. I'm kinda surprised at the drama George Lee's resignation has generated - it is news, but is it News? #glee
@marklittlenews Too simple. Listening to #glee on Ray Darcy seems cos he didn't like the system, he expected it to change overnight. Naive.
@marklittlenews But what can we blame it on? Is it a failure of political culture or problem rooted in a lack of strong upper house....
@marklittlenews ...legislating, a weak committee system or the lack of a strong, independent executive. Or are our politics too local?
@marklittlenews TDs holding their heads wondering why he did it are the symptom of a strange motivation to be elected.
@marklittlenews what "change" was he offering? What policies did he offer? Media carp and pontificate v well but what of actual graft? #glee
@marklittlenews Mark he spent 62 days in the dail. Now he is off the Titanic and back on the Rte life boat. pass the Vomit Bag please.
@marklittlenews loving your work and view point, is there a political system not operating this way?
