Dodgeball Vs Politics!

Politics is a dirty game, best played in appropriate clothing and hands shaped in mud-slinging shape. The idea behind is similar to dodge ball, you will either hit hard enough so your opponent doesn't get up and requires a life support machine or be able to dodge enough so your opponent does not score a hit. Olympian Bertie has enjoyed the latter of these two and enjoys polishing his teflon taoseach name plate.
He has dodged so many balls, caught them and thrown them back. Apparently in dodge ball if you catch a ball then you can immediately throw it back, as the other person is frozen in that space. If hit then he is out of the game and left to sulk on the sides.I wonder if politics evolved from dodge ball or dodge ball originated from politics. An eternal question that will haunt the shadows of many great thinkers.
Life like dodge ball can throw some amazing curve balls that ricochet off the roof and hit the least expected person. The idea that Crowe lost his seat in Dublin has shocked and amazed many as Sinn Fein have actually lost seats, McDonald the near certainty Queen of the Dail didn't even get in. A huge surprise that voters plumped for fianna fail and their promises of cars with jacuzzis in them. Anything is possible with a good economy. I know pimp my ride and Fianna Fail should get together and work on this. A new strategy for Bertie to show his wondrous youth appeal. He's with it, as long as it's in the script.
Dodge ball also involves a referee and usually the referee can decide the outcome of the whole game with decisions of which side to support with marginal hits and tumbles. Labour have provided this and there isn't anything more hated by me than a fence sitter, they haven't openly denied a deal with fianna fail and have struck a pact with fine gael. A curious incident of the Labour in stagnation. A whole wing of them like Quinn and Howlin actually promote the idea. What they don't realise in these fiefdoms is that a vote for labour is a vote for an alternative government before this flirting. Now they would have to organize a spectacular V-turn and promote it among alternative government supporters.
You may ask who I support but it really doesn't matter, because I'm not even 18 but by Chuck Norris as my witness I will examine all the evidence and the smudge under the cover.
