<br />
Mr Cowen was commenting following the latest Irish Times TNS/mrbi opinion poll which shows that Socialist Party candidate Joe Higgins is now in the reckoning for the final European seat in the capital along with Eoin Ryan and Mary Lou McDonald of Sinn Féin.<br />
<br />
Calling on voters to support his party's candidates, Mr Cowen said: "the last thing Dublin and Ireland needs are representatives in Europe who have anti-EU policy agendas. They will be on the fringes of the Parliament. They will not have the allies or the influence to ensure Dublin benefits to the maximum possible extent from the EU funding opportunities that will be available to the region over the coming years."<br />
<br />
"The policies of Sinn F€in and the Socialist Party will not bring one job or one euro of investment to Dublin. On the contrary, their election would send out the wrong message to foreign investors about support in our capital city for Europe and could cost Dublin jobs and investment," he claimed."<br />

In other words - if you hate us - you know who to vote for !No room for complacencyhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/92517#comment2527742009-06-01T20:56:51+00:00B.WarnedThe use of negative polls as a rallying call has always been a mobilising techni...The use of negative polls as a rallying call has always been a mobilising technique of Fianna Fail.They have always used downward percentages or close margins to scare their supporters into coming out enmasse on polling days.<br />
<br />
Percentage increase for Joe Higgins is great news,but lets think like the enemy.Lets mobilise enmasse to support socialist candidates both in Euro and Local Elections as if success is depending on every single last vote.<br />
<br />
Dont get complacent by thinking that polls give a comfort zone,they are not reliable and if used as such will stifle supportive show on the day.

The enemies of FF will now know who to back. Even FG/Labour sympathisers will be aware that the real battle will be between Higgins, McDonald and Ryan and may tactically give them the first prederence. I'm sure DeRossa isn't happy that Higgins is in a close battle!<br />
<br />
I also think it's ironic that Cowen is attacking SP and SF for economics!!! It's FF-Greens-PDs that have crashed the economy and have lost thousands of jobs. The left are offering real viable solutions and have a real alternative.
