    The aftermath of the election has been great for Boards, multiple new accounts opened old accounts taken down and dusted off to offer insights. Always a bright side. ;-)

    I doubt many of the FG and FF TD's who scrapped over the line recently would share your enthusiasm.

    Or maybe the TD's representing smaller left wing parties who were elected on SF transfers.

    A. Another election.

    B. A compromise with FF (not likely)

    C. A compromise with FG (highly unlikely)

    D. A rainbow Left but not enough numbers, so a minority Gov. Best for me. Let them at it. Put their money where their mouths are.

    If another election proves SF to be the winners I will be delighted. They are sh!tting themselves that this might happen though. The permanent Opposition might get a wake up call, but they deserve a go at leading the country don't they?

    How do you know they are 'sh!tting themselves'?

    Leo Varadkar is finished, FG will be out of government for quite a while.

    I'd say they are happy enough with that. Let the Left work it out, and let FF shun their core principle of not going anywhere near SF.

    Another election beckons. I am not a SF supporter but I really want to see them fulfil their manifesto and solve all our problems, and keep their elected nutters at bay at the same time.

    May we live in interesting times.

    And was fairly adamant that FG would waltz back into govt.

    Another election will almost certainly return an even greater number of seats for the shinners, especially how MM and Leo are carrying on.

    Both are, imo finished regardless.

    It's not anti Semitic to be outspoken on Israel's actions, being anti Semitic is being hostile against the Jewish religion, or Jewish people in general.

    Israel could be occupied and ran by a gang of born again Mormon evangelist Buddhists, and you could still call or their actions against Palestinians.

    Anti Semitic, the back of my sack.

    Have you seen her comments and retweets? Where she said Jewish backers were controlling Hitler and put him into power? Are you seriously defending her?

    Can you provide some links to back up your claim? I know she criticised Israel, that is a valid postion to hold. The UN has also on many occasions criticised Israel in multiple occasions.

    She has recently blocked access to all her tweets, so no, I can’t provide links. Not the actions of someone with nothing to hide.

    So you can't back up your claim, seems unreasonable to make an unsubstantiated allegation so.

    Herself, Mary Lou and Pearse McDoherty were falling over themselves trying to apologise for her today. But nothing to see here.

    Again you made an unsubstantiated allegation, with no evidence to back up your claim. As I said many have criticised Israel for its behaviour in dealing with the Palestinians, this criticism should not be used to accuse the critic as being a Holocaust denier. Sounds like a new tactic to close down debate concerning present Israeli behaviour.

    About as likely as SF being in govt. From RTE:

    Ms McDonald was the third candidate, but she too failed to win enough support, with 45 votes in favour, 84 in opposition and 29 abstentions.

    Adds up to 158. CC has no voting rights. So one TD missing.

    If the lady in question makes her legacy tweets public again without any cleansing then I’ll provide proof.

    She claimed Jewish bankers controlled and put Hitler into power. Israel did not exist in the 1930’s, you attempt to muddy the waters is not working.
