Will they be telling the truth to the electorate when they canvas, that they are a single party!

Just as soon as SF admit that they're run by the army council and want a country modeled on Venezuela.

I think that ALL candidates should be canvassing on the basis that they will do their utmost to form a government and act as spokesperson for the electorate.

Now, my sunlounger and Kindle are calling me.

So if a party says they won't talk to the party with the most votes you would deny them a vote Maryanne? If another party say they won't enter coalition with another party and do, will you do the same to them?

Or will you go with the nod and wink of Irish politics again?

Long way to go.

Looking at the figures, FG + SD + Labour + Greens get to 44%. An alternative coalition of FF + SF + Aontu is on 42%.

The poll actually opens up more possibilities than the limited scenario you are putting forward.

There were plenty of possibilities last time as there will be next time too. Only some limiting things though.

On those numbers,the easisest route to power for SF would be for leo vradakar to actually stick to his guns next time and relish opposition
But who knows

You think Leo the leak will still be there as leader? I bet much doubt it!

Leo will be tanning his guns somewhere I reckon, next time.

The point is that the fake narrative you posted of the two main parties is completely wrong.

FrancieBrady · 27-04-2021 11:03am

I asked a question.

Here you go:

Difficult to fight a by-election when you are in coalition.

Kate O'Connell a shoe-in I think.

Finty Lemon · 27-04-2021 7:11pm

A few media articles actually praising the government, or at least recognising their efforts, have surfaced in the last few days.
Could it be?
If there's good weather this summer the polls will change too.

Ossian Smyth ran a mile from endorsing her, on radio this evening.

First preferences by party in the 2020 general election:

FG 27.7%
Greens 22.4%
SF 16.1%
FF 13.8%
Labour 7.9%

Hard to see it ending up as anything other than a FG seat in the by election.

You'd assume so unless there's a significant protest vote for whoever SF line out.

Not if Leo has his way especially after what she said about him on the radio last month. I think Lynn Boylan might nick the seat.

Stephen Donnelly saying everyone should not be fixated by the target of 82% offered a dose by the end of June, the 31st of June he stated twice aswell!!

Is this an admission that we wont be reaching this target?

Was it wise for the Govt to ignore NPHET yesterday regarding adding more countries to mandotary hotel quarantine now that they are basically saying targets won't be met in vaccinations?

I was asked in March for my PPS number so that I can get vaccinated as I have a compromised immune system and I am in the at high risk category. This means I am in the 4th group that will be vaccinated. It's been over 6 weeks since I emailed my PPS number and I still don't know when I will be vaccinated. I don't think the government will meet their June targets.

Taoiseach will 'speak to the nation at 6pm'.

What's the point? His minions have leaked all the data already. Shambolic carry on.

Momentum is building
By the end of july we may have caught up with or passed the UK's progress in that vaccines will be available to all

Who here disagrees with the move to relax restrictions? Now is the time to register your disapproval.
It will be better than looking wise in hindsight if/when the 4th wave hits in a month's time. Speak up now (not like in December)

Finty Lemon · 29-04-2021 3:47pm

Did anyone hear the latest shocker about Norma Foley?

Not 'my party'. A party I voted for. There is a difference, if you wouldn't mind observing it.

I think this is a new phenomenon by the way. A special broadcast/address the nation slot by a Taoiseach demanded more respect than this.

Maybe it's a casualty of social media or is it the competitiveness of the power swap merger?

Yes, all posters against the relaxation of restrictions, make yourself known. You will be able to say I told you so after the fourth wave.

Any of the Social Democrat or PBP supporters want to back the Zero Covid idea now, or is that gone too?

29-04-2021 4:19pm

Unless Macron,Merkle,Johnson,sturgeon etc etc etc are members of FF or FG,then no,hearing from your PM as to next steps for action in the worlds worst pandemic,in a tv adress is not an FG FF vanity creation

If they are doing this in tandem with the advice of the experts...good. If only they had done that last time, we would not have had unnecessary death and suffering and this long long lockdown.

Of course they are, there are experts every day calling for Zero Covid, other experts saying we don't need any lockdown at all.

You want a view on Covid, you will find an expert to back you up.

Only ditch hurlers hide behind experts.
