Can FG /FF and a few independants form a government and still leave SF in opposition ?
It's going to be a tedious count I'd say

As a Brit living in Ireland the SF vote reminds me so much of the Brexit vote back in the uk. Neither manifesto remotely adds up and I feel like people know that half of what is promised won’t be close to being delivered but I guess it’s a protest vote. Interestingly lots of young ones on the vote

.... waits for my first Brits out

When did FG destroy the economy? You live in one of the wealthiest and fairest countries in the world.

We will bury the bondholders...actually we won't.



National debt of €42500 per person, yes we have turned the corner right in to a ditch.

This means Ireland has one of the highest per capita public debt levels in the OECD, the report says, and is also elevated compared to Irish historical standards, leaving the country vulnerable.

It's a bizarre argument that some people are throwing out. And I really thinks it's because these people are just getting their "facts" from targeted social media and party fliers without stepping outside of this.

Silly, uninformed question.

If we have to vote again, is it the same candidates or can SF now run more?

I think they can run more? It would be a new election

45% of people still voting for the two parties that have destroyed the country financially.

Down from 65% or so over a decade or two ago

That's possibly what could happen as a means of keeping Sinn féin out of government.

Confidence and supply again, perhaps?

Smells like a FF/SF government. Time for the Shinners to shît or get off the pot. County hurling now lads.

Odds gone to 12/1 for that. FF/SD/Lab/Green now the favourite marginally

The shinners will stay in opposition , there not capable or don want to be in government ! Especially a rainbow government

Do not underestimate Mickeys desire to be the next Cork Taoiseach and the pressure he’ll be under from his own party to go into gov with SF. FF/SF with health and housing given to SF. That’ll sort them out.

It would be a completely new election, they can run more / run different candidates as they wish. As can everyone.

One would think that Sinn Fein would transfer to FF more than FG. I would expect FF to get the most seats

That does seem to be the problem. From the RTE figures, it certainly looks like we shall have to raise the voting age to 25+ before permanent damage is done to the country.

Good point alright !

Biggest party for the under 55s . Upping the age to 55 might be too drastic.

I know what your saying but I don't think it's a direct comparison. Very different reasons for voting for them.
It's mad how SF have turned things around for local elections.

Rte and the media’s dirty campaign the last week backfired big time by the looks of it.

This for sure. The carry on actually made me angry. Everywhere you went no matter what paper you picked up. The Irish Times had the first 3 pages plastered with propaganda. Men in balaclavas on the 3rd page wtf happened to impartial media in this country?

I’d agree. Labour voters tend to transfer to FG but they didn’t do well.

Another election could well suit Sinn féin

Good I have money on that. Looking like a stretch though with FF on 22%

**** all use that'll do them, they may as well get an exorcist to get rid of the monsters from beneath their beds.

Both problems are as equally imaginary.

Because everything is awesome at the moment.

Pretty good result, SF don’t get to **** the working class for their fantasy spending and FG get the smack in the mouth they deserve. Anybody over 12 years old voting FF tho can hang their heads in shame

Which is why FF and FG will want to avoid one I would think...
