On George Lee resigning...

I'm sorry, but if you are elected to represent your constituency as best you can and you feel like you are not making the difference in your party, then the onus is either to change that, or leave the party. Lee here shows a knee-jerk reaction that is self-serving at its worst. If he really wanted to make a difference he could have resigned from FG and represented his constituency as an independent, thus having the same impact on FG as his current resignation, but with the benefits of maintaining his reputation and seat.

Next, this represents all you need to know about the current leadership in FG. Lee would have made a difference to the party is he had been given a prominent role, even if that role was token, as long as it kept him in the media spotlight. This is where his skills are, and the onus was on Kenny to provide him with this role and no one else.

Worst, this is a major boost to FF and the Greens, and will build on to their existing recovery in the opinion polls.

All-in-all, shame on Lee and Kenny for failing to do the maths and keep the pressure on the government, but above all, failing to represent the people that vote for them.

I'll remember this in the by-election.
