If he was disgusted with Fine Gael he could have resigned the party whip. Resigning his seat sends a whole other message – mostly, to the people who elected him.

How long do you give it before he starts on the self help talk show circuit with “How I recovered from self-destrutive pathological attention seeking”, so that he can help others with the same illness.
Oh god no. I can’t handle any more George Lee on the telly. You should definitely get a cut for the the idea though Bngr.
