Why did Fine Gael not say this in the beginning? If Fine Gael had declared from the beginning that they would not accept the first part of the benchmarking agreement, I would have understood their point of view and accepted that they acted out of political integrity rather than expediency and in order to create a niche of support. If they are to exclude 50,000 public servants from their electoral supporters, they have created a very shaky niche.
