    What is stopping a new party from emerging as it is?

    There is nothing stopping a new party from forming . I hope more emerge

    My point is that there may be a few FFers that were not corrupt , or perjurers, or named adversely in a tribunal or accepted money from Owen o Callaghan that might want to form a party that isn't linked to the old corrupt FF organisation.
    I think that would be a breath of fresh air


    Would many FG'ers join (this new invisible party) considering FG accepted money from Denis O'Brien. How many times in total?
    By the way, Why did Denis donate it?
    Any ideas?
    Answers would be a breath of fresh air, wouldn't it?

    Seems like you have been reading the Sunday Independent (weekly FF newsletter) too much

    I'm not going to defend FG or that Denis o Brien guy. Why should I.

    Today's Sunday Times Behaviour & Attitudes State of Parties Poll results also show FF sliding.

    FF 15% (-1)

    That's quite the slide alright. You started this thread 2 months ago with FF showing 16% in a poll. Now they're showing 15%. How would you read that?

    Comparing apples to apples the S&A poll was 20% in Dec for the times , this represents a 5% drop for FF

    5% since Dec is a drop in my book .

    5% !!!!! They have lost one quarter of their support since Dec

    The slow car crash of FF.
    having an open goal against the gov in the last few month and losing ground.
    The only thing they are shouting about is rural schools, rural cop shops.
    So are people in rural areas going to pay higher taxes to keep them open. Or will it be urban dwellers handed the bill as usual.

    Fantastic place for FF to be in - plenty of eejits (including myself) were saying that FF would be on 8% post Mahon.

    :)

    You will have to wait a few months for FF to be at 8%.
    The progress of their decline is steady but slow.

    Have some patience :)

    FF bankrupted the country. The party has long been magnet for dishonest types. ( I won't bore everyone with a list past and present, you know who they are )
    I can't see them ever being in government again.

    At this stage nothing much new is going to be posted.

    When/if that new poll comes about, by all means open a new thread discussing their demise. Without mystic meg powers posters don't know, and we've had two months to discuss it.
