    No apology needed :)


    I understand your position and its obvious that SF are indeed playing the long game. What I don't like about it is that it's now we need a government not in the next term.

    It's very easy to be popular in opposition, it's only in government you have to answer to the people.

    So how's it all working out.are we any closer do you think? FF's manifesto before the election was to abolish the water tax but it's back on board it seems and is being negotiated on.Thats why SF closed up any terms for them going into government.

    The percentage changing their vote would be negligible but SF could lose some support, based solely on what people who voted for them have said to me, because of their total lack of interest in forming a government.

    well then they are really silly people then as SF stated that they wouldnt go in as a minority?

    Funnilly enough, some FG/FF voters have said similar to me re: their parties performance since they were elected and leaving the country without a govt for over 60 days

    They wouldn't be a minority if they went in, as it would be a majority government but then again SF have mixed that term up endlessly of late.

    Of course! :p

    People recognise that SF are quite happy in opposition as to be in government and faced with some pragmatic and difficult choices would damage the moral high ground that they believe allows them shout loud across the chamber.
