This seems to happen in all tye parties and I really wonder how much of it is actually bullying or is it people just having a little strop.
Not doubting anyone who makes these claims but just from experience in working life and people who have claimed to be “bullied” in jobs are usually either massive cunts who did just as much to other people, or people with delusions of grandeur who stormed out after not getting all the attention and realising nobody cared what they think.
I usually take bullying accusations like this with a pinch of salt, similar to the SF ones over the last couple of years. It’s very “he said, she said” and tend to come out when people don’t get their way.

>I believe that they are not listening to people. The party is out of touch with the electorate and not interested in change,
This is the far more serious thing for FG in my opinion. There seems to be a big divide forming in terms of leadership of the party and decisions made vs what local members want, let alone the wider electorate. This started when the parliamentary party voted for Varadkar when the general membership had voted Coveney and is just widening all the time.
I think they will be closer to Labour than FF in terms of total seats after the next election tbh.
I think this might be a case of some people expect being a politician to have the same cosy and protected work environment as being a standard employee.
There seems to have been a few of these recently across all the major parties.
There was a lot of bullying and claims of top-down intimidation in the Young Fine Gael recently, wasn’t there?
It’s never good when people leave your party due to bullying. FG have questions to answer here.
Not a normal party.
They’re going to have trouble filling their gender quota at this rate. It’s due to rise to 40% next year and if FG can’t meet that they’ll lose half their state funding.

You can’t be a politician and have thin skin
