Well done Minister Gormley ...

Taoiseach Brian Cowen last night won his fight to stay on as leader of the country by winning a vote of confidence by 82 votes to 77.

Green leader John Gormley was one of a roll call of senior ministers who pledged support for Mr Cowen.

Well done Ministrer Gormley. You are pledging rock solid support to the person who is directly responsible for driving Ireland and the Irish economy into a brick wall (as confirmed by the 2 recent banking reports). You are supporting the man and the Government who has presides over 100,000's of people ,losing their jobs and livelihoods. You are standing solidly behind the man who has cut education and health budgets for the poorest in out society, taken money from carers, widows and the blind and maintained the income of higher paid civil servants.

And finally and most damming Minister Gormley, you have pledged support for the most inept, incompetent, dishonest and hated Taoiseach and Government in the history of this State.

Well done.

People will never forget what you and your Gombeen Green Party did yesterday.
