Next Government

[rebelicecreamman]

Would you be open to the idea of a FG FF coalition?

It would want to be a very different FF to the FF of all of my adult life.
And it isn't, so I would prefer not to see it.

Interesting question with the only certainty being Labour being completely demolished for their support of a extremely rightwing party. This election will see the end of the myth that there is a difference between FF & FG with both forming the next government. Would be an excellent result for the country going forward to the next election creating a clear left & right choice for the first time in the country's history.

Since when have Labour supported SF ?

I'm racking my brains here and the only party in Ireland who come close to fitting the description of extremely right wing are Sinn Fein .

Do you not think it would be a natural progression in the context of Irish politics ?

But if FG decided to form a Government with FF you would support that Government?

They won't. Party membership on both sides won't go for it. It's a his great granda shot my great granda thing.

I know they probably won't. But let's face it, nobody knows, stranger things have happened.

Interesting poll so far, even though there are only 6 voters
All voters included Fine Gael and none included Sinn Fein

 

[CORKBHOY]

Interesting poll so far, even though there are only 8 voters
All voters included Fine Gael and none included Sinn Fein

Well tbf even SF themselves don't think they have a chance of being in the next government.

They would if they had to do so to avoid the appalling vista of SF in charge.

The whole old Republican / Nationalism lark behind both parties has little relevance to younger voters in a post -Nationalist Ireland
