Honestly would take it over ffg

>“This would be the worst possible outcome for the people of the country,” he said.
Obviously not according to the people of the country who bothered to vote Eoin.
No point getting stroppy about it now, the people have spoken. No party has a monopoly on forming a government, and there is very clearly a left wing option that can and should be presented. That is a minority government of Sinn Féin, Labour, and the SDs who can agree a left programme for government. They then have to sell that to FF to provide confidence and supply, but it’s Fianna Fáil who will then decide between that and coalition with Fine Gael. It needs to be presented though as an option to the Dáil.
She has a neck like a jockeys testicles
“He said it is “some stretch” to describe Sinn Féin as a left party. ”
Coming from the party of austerity

I just truly can’t fathom a TD from an opposition party supposedly interested in the common good, and coming from a left wing perspective (allegedly), reacting so derisively to what is a fairly perfunctory (if hopeless) outreach from another opposition party at this time.
It reeks of both of arrogance and delusion. And sure maybe the same came be said for SF’s ‘outreach’ but for Chris’s sake… there is no hope of anyone (other than FFFG and their supporters) being satisfied if our opposition insist on eating each others meagre lunch, while the two parties who have been in power since the State came into existence get fat on the spoils.
And an even bigger stretch to imagine “Labour” as left
I would rather a hard neck than a rubber spine any day.
Could have sworn on Morning Ireland Ivanna was going on about the need for the various left parties to get their shit together and come up with a programme of the left.
It’s all such pantomime BS. They probably sat on this term “hard neck” for hours to inject it into the discourse.
Give Labour a chance and they’ll do exactly what they did in DCC – prop up the establishment parties.
This is an absolute waste of time, they don’t have the numbers without FF. FG won’t work with them.
It was pretty clear from Saturday onwards that a return of FF&FG with a smaller party or group of independents was odds on to happen.
Yes, how dare a party leader try to form a government in the aftermath of a general election. Such a hard neck.
In all honesty from the SD’s or Labours point of view it’s probably worth hearing her out. I mean the Greens went into government and look at them now. They might say it was worth it as they got some policies implemented but do they really want to be the kind of political party that goes from building and getting a decent number of TDs to being nearly wiped out in the next election?
Sinn Fein in government is not acceptable for most people in Ireland. Hence a previously unthinkable coalition of FF and FG was formed to keep them out. Maybe in 60 years when everyone who remembers the IRA is dead they’ll get in, like AfD in Germany.
Bertie said they would be better going with independents and being so close to the 88 you would expect FFG to approach some lads needing new roads or a bridge. With FFG more than likely to finish on 86 they need and back to Bertie again 9 indies to ensure a stable Government.
Is Holly not on maternity leave?
If you read the article, he’s referring to the fact that before the election, there was a broad movement to try and get left-leaning voters to transfer left.
SF snubbed any attempts to reach out to them and instead went their own way.
This is demonstrated in the high level of SF votes that didn’t transfer anywhere after SF candidates had been eliminated.
So SF reaching out *now* to form an alliance with the same people they shunned two weeks ago is taking the piss.
If they had shown this interest in a left alliance and urged people to transfer left, then there might be more left candidates to challenge the status quo.
