Are these people who shift back and forth between FF and FG fully aware that they’re the same thing
Or do they do this to comfort themselves with ‘caring’ about what they read when they see endless crises on the news, while ensuring they never have to actually consider an alternative

I think what’s possibly a trend is the gap between FF/FG growing to the point where FG genuinely becomes the junior partner in government and therefore heavily incentivised not to go back into government the next time. But that’s a ways away.

What is FF doing lately to justify them being more popular? Now I’m not a supporter of either FF nor FG but I would have expected FF to go down before FG does with the shite that’s gone on lately.

It’s mindless even polling this far out from an election

I love seeing the response when sf don’t go up in the polls…..

Sadly the majority of this country have a short memory span so I’m not shocked by this.

The margin of error in this poll is 2.2%. None of this has any actual meaning but the newspapers will be pumping coverage out of this for the week.
As opposed to covering something that actually deserves coverage like the IDF murdering an ambulance crew on duty with their lights on and burying all the bodies and the ambulances.

I read about how before/after the crash the older population of Ireland had they’re wealth/pensions tied up in real estate and that ff/fg protect that. Everything makes way more sense when you think about it from that angle.

After all their shit about the speaking rights and so, they end up the better of it, it appears, going by this poll anyway…. infuriating and dumbfounding

Boring stability is underrated as Trump proves.
FF & FG aren’t great but they are fine, the current iterations have no impact on a housing shortage, 15 years ago, the idea of a housing shortage would have been unfathomable to the average politician in either party. Even 10 years ago. There is nothing radical or interesting about either party but sometimes that’s okay. Revolution will never happen in Ireland, revolution would be wasted in a country like ours. We have to be swept up in the animal spirits in more relevant and impactful centres/countries, only then can you solve the issue of unrestricted capital flows which is why we have the housing situation. These things work themselves out in the long run but in the long run, we’re all dead.

These polls don’t matter – the government will always be FF/FG

What the fuck have FF done to go up in opinion polls? Fucking hell. The country yearns for bullshit obviously

After the absolute sham the Dáil has been lately, people are in more in favour of FF. How did they poll, Martin’s family?

I think it can be confirmed as official now Irish people love developers and landlords and hate renters and homeless people.

People in this country are terrified of change. You would think, based on our revolutionary history, that we would be more willing than most to upend the status quo. Instead, we repeatedly elect the same politicians despite the fact that they have swamped the country with migrants in the past five years, massively increasing the cost of housing and denying our young people any real prospect of owning their own home.
The only good thing about being Irish is the fact that it comes with a very strong passport, giving you the opportunity to emigrate in the (highly probable) event that the government countines to fan the flames of the housing crisis.

It’s not perfect but it’s stable. SF don’t have some magic wand that’s going to fix a housing crisis affecting almost every major western world Country.

A trend I haven’t heard being talked about is how immigrants/those from an immigrant background are voting. I’d imagine many of them are happy to row the boat of the system they find themselves in. It would be interesting to see some figures on how the new Irish are voting. Anybody have any idea?

When the older population pass over the next couple of decades we will see a major shift. The older population are keeping these guys in power as they’re the ones who actually vote in numbers.

It may be a controversial opinion but here in Ireland, looking out at what’s happening in the rest of the world, we’re not doing so bad. Seeing how poor far right parties faired in the latest elections when so many countries are turning into Trump land was encouraging, FF/FG are not perfect but they’re far from the worst, I didn’t personally vote for them, but could you imagine the National Party(0 seats)/Aontu(2 seats) gaining power here like what’s happening elsewhere? We’re grand

The majority is okay with the status quo. That is why fundamentally, nothing will change
