Election to be called Fri - predict outcome

It certainly is not. or either am i any kind of shill for FG(or the Greens)

As are house prices, rents and homelessness.

ALl he was doing was creating abit of uncertainty to get a jump on the opposition.

Why tell them all the exact date and allow them all comfortably schedule their canvas, better have them guessing alittle at least even if everyone knew down to a couple of weeks when the date would be.

FF/FG are virtually at one on most policies, there's little difference between them so it matters little as to who is Taoiseach.

The circumstances of the last election was such that to keep SF out, FF/FG had to coalesce and the seat tally they each had meant there was no dominant party so a rotating Taoiseach was the price to be paid. What will be interesting this time is the returns of both parties. There won't be a chasm between them but at the moment it's reasonable to think FG will return more seats and say if they have 10 more than FF will FG be willing to rotate the Taoiseach's position? The relative strength of SF after the election will be a factor here too.

FF will end up largest party in a shock result - FG may be more popular in general but so many of their stalwarts are stepping down at the end of this term so their new candidates will have little name recognition

FF will be marginally in front in a result that will disgust more than half of the country who still remember mccreevynomics, Berties shenanigans and the crash

SF will be broadly the same as last election. Largest opposition but not possible to form a govt without FF or FG.

Except it could easily be done on a Thursday evening after the Dáil sitting ends

So seeing as the majority is 88, how close do FF/FG get between the two of them ?

ST opinion poll has fg 28, ff 22 and sf 16. That’s surely a majority for ffg unless they’re massively unlucky

And FF usually under estimated.

It's looking possible that a third party won't be needed.

Disaster for Sinn Fein.

Greens under the bus once again and rightly so.

I meant if those numbers materialise on election day. Is that not understood when posters make those sorts of projections?
