I think it will be FF/FG again with god knows who. Hopefully a left wing party
It will be November 15th
There is a strong possibility that FF and FG get an overall majority between them, depending on the bounce of the ball of the final seats.
An incredible performance if that turns out to be true.
I still think they will want a few Indo's in with them. Maybe independent Ireland? Would be wiser, considering then that Labour and the SD's being in opposition would soften SF's cough and potential in the next election.
Most people struggle to even find someone on the list to vote for
Doesn’t say much for FG either when they’re so close in votes
They aren't in the same position as FG and FF
It's just cost they are happy to get into bed which each other
So bullshit reall
eh? I don’t think so.
Please God not SD in government, would be Greens 2.0
Totally, look at the turn out
Of those that do, it's just paint by numbers
People Before Profit want an end to capitalism.
3% support this.
Ivan Yates is predicting these sort of figures and seems absolutely certain the choice will be Labour
Can anyone understand what on earth the woman in the yellow glasses is talking about on Virgin Media? Is she in the wrong studio?
Going by the labour canvassors in North Tipp, they were expecting to be the third party in government too.
By going into government several times, the Greens have achieved implementation of their policies infinitely more than parties like Sinn Fein and PBP.
I’m not an FF FG supporter but I hope that they do not need Lab or SD support, maybe a few gene pool Indos will suffice
They may recalibrate and row back on some of the obnoxious policies heavily influenced by the Greens who held them ransom. That’s not excusing what they supported to hold onto power btw
One thing though it is some drop for SF looking like -5%/-6%and some performance by FG a party in power for almost 14 years and for FF.
Paschal D was right SF are the weakest opposition in Europe
The left fantasy of an alliance is just that, they’re a complete ridiculous mess.
Ivan has predicted pretty much every figure at this stage the clown that he is...
That was an amazing interview as he basically said we can I'll destroy our wealth then distribute the wealth to the people. Completely deluded. How do PBP get a vote
Can't really see it.
I generally find SFers to be generally rubbish but Daithi Doolin seems to break the mould. Comes across as a good down to earth guy.
She is trying to save her job. She knows that unless she can get Labour and the SDs in the room talking to her and agreeing a deal, she is toast.
Delighted to see the greens wiped out, long may it last
By next election it will be labour eradicated also
He's a bit of a grifter at this stage. After dinner speaker, corporate MC, podcasts, on Newstalk the station he retired from all day today. I don't think he has that much interest in politics anymore but he's making plenty of money talking about it.
Yeah 2 probably more likely hopefully Doolan gets the second....then probably Ardagh...then who knows...maybe De Nortuin...
He is clued in and a straight talker, I like him too.
In post-election spin terms, that’s an overwhelming mandate to lead the opposition in abolishing capitalism. 😀
RBB hung on for 4th seat over Hugo Mills. Actually jumped up to second.
They're stinking commies and a lot of left leaning voters/activists are worried about a few knuckleheads on the other extreme while these ones are actually in our parliament and councils.
If Rodders or Stephen Donnely don't get a seat but Gerard Hutch does then I be happy.
Yes, they were in opposition and failed to make a move towards power.
It was all set for them to make gains, but failed to do so.
The weakest opposition party for sure.
14 years in power… and they are still out polling SF.. says it all tbh.
Dublin Bay South did not chu Chu choose Chu....she is eliminated....
Broadly speaking with the new seats it's as you were according to the panel on RTE. Seems fair enough, they can all claim to have had a good day and are claiming that.
