Fine Gael could gamble that they have garnered public support but I think too risky. I think it is too early to say that no government will be formed. I think if people think that parties or TDS refuse to join putting politics before the pandemic, it could be viewed harshly. If a government can be formed and then review when we are out of danger, then it should be done.

Nitrogan wrote: » Are SF proposing to cut benefits? Like **** they are are. They set up a strategy in NI to bleed the British state dry and now they're addicted to welfare handouts and would do even worse in Ireland. There's a perception that SF are a front for organised crime but they are worse than that they are snake oil sales people who would like to drag Ireland down to the level where their friends Syriza in Greece and Morales in Venezuela are. Socialist Utopia with a side of organised crime.

joeguevara wrote: » Firstly do you really think it would be sensible for a national unity government when Sinn Fein have been critical of pretty much every decision that has been made by Fine Gael. Do you think a national unity government would assist in swifter decisions or would too many parties with such opposing views end up arguing leading to delays. Also, it would probably be more damaging for Fine Gael to form a government with Sinn Fein especially after the accusations made by them. If a government is able to be formed with FF and Independents and allows appropriate decisions to be made then it seems more sensible.also it is important to have an opposition to constructively challenge decisions and actions then it’s better than everyone in together. I think the calls by certain TDs to allow the government that the people voted for is hollow. If the people really voted for such change then a left government would be formed already. The fact that FF FG and independents with broadly similar policies shows can meet the quota is evidence that the people didn’t want that much change.

Runaways wrote: » I haven’t heard SF be critical at all. And politically it would have made sense for a unity government especially for FG. If this gets worse and it will they’re carrying the can alone. Even Boris is after reaching out to other party leaders for the same reason. Spread the blame. FG have already raided half of SFs ideas for dealing with it. They just didn’t go as far. They’d all be far more on the same page than they’d admit but no way can they be seen to say it. Any of them. Some maturity and forward thinking is needed but no. FG going it solo. It will haunt them and come back to bite them seriously. Just wait n see.
