FF has form for exploiting smaller parties

LIKE a bashful couple edging towards each other for their first kiss, Fianna Fáil and the Greens continue to play out their strange Victorian courtship.

The pair disapprovingly watched each other for years, not realising they might actually like the other until electoral fate threw them together.

The intensity of six days locked in Government Buildings proved too much for the purity of the Greens and they fled the looming embrace with their principles in tact.
