Now,

sport is not my thing, so forgive me if I'm putting my foot in it from some regulation point of view.

Why can't the players refuse to play?

If you actually feel very strongly about it, why couldn't you refuse to say, do a blue flu, say I'm sick, I'm not playing, or I choose not to play?

Yes, Brenton.

OK, so, yeah, well, it's definitely Holly's weekend.

Yeah.

So she's got that big piece in the cinder.

And then Alison O'Connor in The Sunday Times is making the point that one of the reasons she's so popular is because she's very human and relatable and talks about the struggles of, you know, being a mother and, you know, the mix in politics and that normally happens.

Irish politicians tend to shy away from being more personal, which, to be honest, I've always thought is a mistake that Irish politicians have made.

The only thing, the cautionary break I would put on that is, you know, I'm not electing a personality.

Like when it does come down to it, it is about policies.

In relation to the who's left wing and not left wing, I've been quoting a lot recently how Ireland voted 2024.

You know, the books of Michael O'Gallagher and all those political scientists said it.

And they took all the political parties policies and put them on a spectrum of who was left wing and who was right wing.

every party is left wing except Aintoo.

They're the only ones who could be counted right off centre.

So even like FFG.

But the point is, in terms of actual policy, the whole centre has been pulled very far to the left.

Oh no, I'm not dismissing it in terms of popularity.
