    If they can they should, if they decline they should be vilified.

    Why do you keep repeating this?

    Mary Lou was the first out of the blocks out talking wit other parties about forming a government....

    If FF/FG don't put behind they're petty arrogant out of touch attitudes they will continue to be punished.

    FF gave an unbelievably good deal to the Roman church in 2001. And the Roman corporation still haven't paid their part. The taxpayer stumped up most of the redress money.

    The great scandal that gets overlooked. The Church should have had its property seized, all of it, until every last victim/survivor was generously compensated.

    It was him or Reilly. People in that constituency like to vote FG.

    I wasn’t near my phone and wasn’t able to check the seat count but the final seat ball isn’t bouncing FFs way as FG are now only 5 seats behind SF and the prediction was FG would third. Now there is 17 seats left to fill and they may still move ahead.

    What do you mean if they 'decline'?

    If they cannot get a satisfactory programme for government they should NOT make the mistake of going into power at any cost.

    No it'll be FF 37, SF 37 and FG 35. FG have only 3 candidates left in the running who can win a seat.

    Looking at the numbers, SF hold all the cards. They may be able to muster up enough support to get MLD as a nomination for Taoiseach.

    Obviously a government of SF and the rest won't last long, so SF can go to the Polls again bump their numbers and get a clear mandate to govern.

    If that makes over 80 Mary Lou can sit on the opposition bench for another term

    I'd love that scenario. FF/FG will wipe each other out, the Greens will be laughed at and we'd get a major left government for the working tax payer next time around.

    Yep, that's what everyone wants, another election...

    Form a government and get on with it is what most people want.

    Ffg have lost the election. I doubt anybody will prop them up for 5 years as they will be obliterated.

    Numbers. Everyone apart from FF & FG is a majority but like wrangling snakes!

    I want another election, I love them. There were three of them within 18 months back in the 1980's. Happiest time of my life. How do you know what most people want?

    I believe Labour said they wouldn't go in with Sinn Fein so she will need to seats of every other party (exclusing Fine Gael and Fianna Fail of course) to get a majority.

    Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael can’t risk going into another election. The voters who choose Fianna Fail because they thought Sinn Féin would get nowhere. So it looks like they’ll be begging a lot of independents to prop them up.

    Fair enough. But they surely can compromise or do whatever if they are equal to FF seat wise.

    No need to throw the toys out of the pram just yet. SF just have no experience of this and might need to see the wood for the trees.

    Their electorate may not be happy if they stick their bums on the opposition benches for another few years either. Time will tell.

    That scenario would, in the long run, suit Sinn féin. Come the next election, based on that scenario, Sinn féin would-be the biggest party in Ireland.
