    Eh? Is this some form of butterfly effect that's just gone way over my head?

    You and no one else.

    Generally, the left-wing is characterized by an emphasis on "ideas such as freedom, equality, fraternity, rights, progress, reform and internationalism" while the right-wing is characterized by an emphasis on "notions such as authority, hierarchy, order, duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism".

    The SF heads I know are right wing.

    FG may have too many potential transfers which should push Higgins past him.

    no , I consider them completely delusional and so devoid of reality that placing them on the political spectrum may irreversibly damage the spectrum itself.

    You just placed them on the spectrum as moderate left

    It's really sad that SF supporters are gloating. Don't remember this happening in previous Irish elections. Guess it's part of the populist trump agenda they are adhering too.

    Ya right. They're the first political party to celebrate a successful campaign.jesus wept!

    Richmond and Madigan elected in Dublin Rathdown.

    Really thought the Maria Bailey stench would see Madigan lose out. FG have actually gained a seat here, not sure what the people here are seeing that I'm not.

    Just go to google images if your memory isn't that well. Plenty of gloating in count centers around the place.
    I even took part in it myself when in the LP.
    Although that was short lived.

    Would love to see a FF/SF coalition.

    They need to do it.

    Less distance to travel between FF and FG. Why not them?

    It’s not. The UK has Council tax paid by everyone, we have property tax paid by owners. Generally the annual property tax is factored in with rents. There’s no way you could charge both Property Tax and Council Tax here, people wouldn’t stand for it. It would have to be one or the other IMO.

    The free council housing don’t eve pay lpt. Introduce council tax like uk. All adults pay it. Imagine that , they had to start paying a tax that wasn’t vat with their free money!

    MHR insisted they shut down for the night and celebrate in his pub.


    The sons run the town, MHR the County.

    I think the initial support of Maria Bailey has had an impact with small business owners who would have previously voted FG.

    SF want Northern Ireland. The majority of people want nothing to do with NI in a union. NI is a lapdog of UK the last 20 years and they know their place.

    You missed the election in 2011 then? FG supporters beside themselves with gloating, it was sickening as we were in the middle of an economic meltdown.
    I don't think the FF/FGers understand that this is seismic.
    In 2011, FF were always awaiting destruction and even then FG couldn't gain a majority and FF still managed 20 seats



    I haven't read any gloating here or at the very least not much.
    Just people gobsmacked at what has happened at last.

    SF would be far better off refusing to go into a coalition with either of the other 2. Let them make their own mess for (hopefully) the final time).

    Doesn't suit their agenda. Plenty of that around here today now that the status quo has been destroyed.

    I'd say Mary's preference is Leo, she can't be out republicaned with FG, she has him by the balls. The dubs won't transfer power to a cork boi.

    Because FG don't have a mandate- their vote has dropped yet again after another spell in govt. SF has surged on a wave of "change". It would be futile to ignore that.

    Flags and sing "rebel" songs. We've moved past that. It is embarassing.

    NI that went through almost 4 decades of a political conflict is a lapdog of the UK?

    Seriously? Is it even possible to be any more wrong?

    You also only became aware today that the shinners aspired to a UI.

    I don't think Politics is your thing at all tbh.

    You said earlier you have no interest in UI but that's not the general concensus, the partition is stupid on such a small island.
