    Um, I didn't get all the Sunday papers today, (I have better ways of spending €20! :D) but I'd like to build up a picture of where the editorials went with their No. 1's.

    To start off...

    Sunday Independent: mildly FF in tone from Gus.
    Sunday World: Not preaching for any party, just go out to vote.
    Sunday Times: Strongly FG


    So, the Sunday Times goes for FG in a bit way, "Time for Ahern to go" says the header. I'm surprised that a Murdoch paper has has changed, he has been very pro FF in the past.

    Can anyone else fill in what the other papers say?

    Hmmm, I thought there might have been some input of readers of the Tribune, SB Post etc.. :(

    Anyhoo.

    Today... the Irish Independent have not issued a preference to their readers (were supporting FF in 2002 and 1997)

    The Irish Times urges people just to vote, as does the Irish Examiner.

    Indo probably a bit cautious towards backing one or the other in the past few days in light of the FF/O'Reilly meeting that Vincent Browne keeps harping on about.

    In the UK, there have been a few (worried) pieces about the possibility of Sinn Fein getting in as part of a FF coalition. Irivine Welsh had a piece in the FT yesterday or day before about Bertie's Teflon nature and SNP leader Alex Salmond.
