Were Fine Gael concerned for the Labour Party, it would be asking those who can pay a bit more to do so but it rightly looks after its own voters. My disappointment is not with Fine Gael, because that is its nature. Members understand who it is that Fine Gael looks after, that is who they are, but I did not believe the Labour Party's identity would allow it to fall in like a puppy behind Fine Gael.
