Same way FG have broken election promises since 2011 like they are going out of fashion. I want a party who will fight for the people not themselves

They would most likely run more candidates where new candidates would take votes away from their running mates leaving some constituencies where none of their candidates may meet the quotas and so having the opposite effect. They might end up in a situation where they get less seats. They would have a lot of work to do to convince people they are serious about forming a government if the last few months are anything to go by.

They made it sound like they would have jumped at the chance of forming a government with either FF or FG in the end. I would actually love to see Sinn Fein in government solely to see how many election promises they would break. I'll emigrate again if that ever happens so the mess they make won't affect me.

I think another election will be disastrous for FG, especially way Leo talks down to people, dosnt care what anyones saying to him. People have caught on, his election results tell us that. His own people in Dublin West, prefer a SF man
aido79 wrote: » If you were to use that constituency as an example and combine the FG votes and compare them to the SF votes you'll see there's about 2000 votes in the difference. This is what I mean when I say that even if Sinn Fein were to run more candidates it might not equate to more seats. Like a lot of other constituencies where Sinn Fein done well there isn't enough place for another Sinn Fein candidate and they would be taking the chance that neither candidate might get elected.

aido79 wrote: » Yeah shouldn't be too hard to get the 5000 or so extra votes in that constituency to get 2 SF seats. Other constituencies should be fairly easy too.
