    SF would be far better off refusing to go into a coalition with either of the other 2. Let them make their own mess for (hopefully) the final time).

    Time to piss or get off the pot.

    im presuming that most count centres have adjourned for the night. How are RTE going to drag out another 4 hours?
    The majority will have but if there are any counts going on they should fill an hour or two anyway!

    SF have said they'll talk to anyone. It's FF and FG who drew all their Theresa May like red lines

    The majority of people want nothing to do with NI? Source?

    The results of this election suggest otherwise.

    This poll is interesting.
    Suggests that maybe a majority favour a border poll.

    Nothing new from my end. Quite clear from the off that Leo and MM want nothing to do with SF. Unless of course you can provide links to the contrary.

    Majority of people on republic voted for SF as a protest vote. They have no interest In NI. Leave that to the UK. We are trying to sort out healthcare. The Shinners would ruin that with their ambitions.

    Why do you think it was a protest vote? People want change. FFG havent made any improvements to healthcare and they have both been in power since the birth of the state.

    The definition of insanity.

    Why would you think FFG will improve healthcare at this stage?

    Yes, we can't govern now because evil FF or FG are excluding us. The new SF mantra- a day on from "change".

    'Change' wasnt on the ballot page. People should curtail taking their own interpretations as fact.

    NI that went through almost 4 decades of a political conflict is a lapdog of the UK?

    Seriously? Is it even possible to be any more wrong?

    You also only became aware today that the shinners aspired to a UI.

    I don't think Politics is your thing at all tbh.

    It obviously is. I'm sure you be happy with Catholics oppressing protestants "for the cause" in a 32 country republic. I don't want deaths which you want.

    I wonder would this election give the old Sinn Fein the confidence to re-emerge i.e. bring the paramilitary wing back. And if SF get into power how would AGS, the Defence Forces and a re-emergent IRA work.

    Would AGS members be willing to forget about the likes of Jerry McCabe, who sympathetic who the young rank and file AGS be to SF?

    They have been given a mandate

    No they havent. It wasnt a referendum. Thirtysomething of their TDs will be elected. Thats as far as you can take it.

    Those who voted SF transferred Left.

    In that instance SF would be wise to tell FF to get stuffed if they come looking to make Michael Taoiseach.

    Make Michael live up to his promise to the electorate, the one he vociferously voiced to try to raise himself above FG and SF.

    Let him construct some dodgy mess of a coalition. Play the long game.

    No one else but FF and FG are excluding SF.

    Well then good thing there's 158 seats in the Dail. FG only have less than 40. So plenty of balls for Mary Lou to play around outside of FG if she's serious about governing and indeed "change".

    I'd imagine FF dont want to go into power with SF because then FG will be able to accuse them of bringing SF into power. probably the opposite is true too, FG wont go with SF either because they would fear the same accusations from FF.

    they are basically both worried about getting slagged by the other. now they have to consider the horror of going with each other.

    theres nowhere to hide now.

    Said it in an interview on RTE today. Surely SF aren't afraid of going into government and sorting out health, housing etc.

    Yet if the FG interviews today are to be believed us peasents are wrong and voted incorrectly.

    I think you are choosing the word 'peasent' (sic) yourself.

    There is certainly a lot of misguided, lets say, voting, which will turn out to be a disappointment. Far too much voting for non of the above, by voting for something which people dont really understand. Its the downside to universal suffrage.
