Microsoft, a sponsor for the presidency of the EU?Microsoft, a sponsor for the presidency of the EU?Posted May 14, 2004 23:23 UTC (Fri) by fergal (subscriber, #602)Parent article: Microsoft, a sponsor for the presidency of the EU? It's not that shocking that MS have bought my country but it is embarassing! Unfortunately the government is a coalition between Fianna Fail, the largest party in the country and the Progressive Democrats, possibly the smallest party (the smallest who actually get elected that is). The PDs are heavily pro-corporate and have power far in excess of their number of seats due to the fact that without them FF would not have enough seats to form a goverment. That said, FF and the largest opposition party (Fianna Gael) are both pro software patents. FF are Coke, FG are Pepsi, except they're actually 2-day old, flat Pepsi.
