Independent TDs are the real opportunists
If Mr White was fair he would not berate the Greens, who at least have a national basis for their claim to make a contribution.
He would be targeting the real opportunists, the so-called independents who have a single constituency dynasty and can use and abuse that in a close parliament for unfair advantage for one small area of the country over the general good. So less anti-Green bias please, Mr White, and apply your criticism more fairly.
