But really Brexit was the most important thing claim FG :pac:

According to one opinion poll Brexit was a concern of only 1% of those polled.

Singing IRA songs in the count centre. Is this the change people voted for?

How many extra candidates could SF have run?

Just looking at constituencies with 1 SF candidate. They are sometimes getting 2 quotas.

They could have ran running candidates with at least
Mary Lou Mcdonald - Dublin Central.
Angus Ó'Snodeagh - Dublin South Central
Paul Donnelly - Dublin West
Dessie Ellis - Dublin North West

Donnelly was understandable because he had lost out in 4 of the previous elections but if we go again then they'll definitely go with a 2nd running mate.

And yet every other party has signed up to the same health plan, Slaintcare, so any of them claiming they will be the ones to fix it are lying through their teeth

Which was published 3 years ago

Hows that going?

Hearing Whitmore (SD) is in in Wicklow at the expense of Donnelly (FF).

Delighted. I could never forgive him for joining FF, after I voted him firstly as an ind and then a SD.

For a clever man, that was a ridiculously stupid move.

Be interesting to see how much of their manifesto turns out to be waffle so.

Like SF or not surely people know now that unless fg/ff deliver on housing and health that they will be out of power and SF may will be in, so it will force them to do something finally?

It doesn't matter really as all their candidates were looking to be elected anyway, and they can't elect any more than they have ran.

It will matter when it comes to the negotiations. FFG won’t want to go back to the people and face SF in the near future. The pressure is squarely on them now.

You're moving from wafflers only interested in themselves to wafflers who are controlled by people with far more worrying interests.

If you think any party is going to sort out health they're deluded. All they can do is pump more money into a black hole.

johnmcdnl · 09-02-2020 2:09pm

Paddy power have the line at
FF 47.5
FG 38.5
SF 37.5
Greens 10.5

So where do things go from here if this is how it pans out. What do FF do. Go back on what they said and let SF play senior hurling or go for the safer colalition with greens and try to get FG to provide confidence and supply.

FG will be happy to be largest opposition in this scenario and get to sit out being involved in a government with SF or alternatively having to deal with the negative fallout for not giving SF a shot as the ball will be in FFs court.

Hopefully this means DOB will be absent from the St Patrick's day parade in NY.

I think he honestly seen himself as a future leader of the party. Crazy move.

Ash.J.Williams · 09-02-2020 2:10pm

The invisible hand helping SF this year was the media and rte through bias. Today they will paint it as a protest vote, they will also paint the electorate as stupid.

The fact the electorate didn't fall for it and at the same time voted against racism makes me proud of them.

I'm not a sin feiner but as a strong opposition they will make the government work hard.

As good as it would under any other party.

Or do SF have some magical solution to reducing civil servant beuracracy and red tape they havent shared?

If the song in question is the song I'm thinking of, it's not actually an IRA song strictly speaking, the title of it is about a group of thugs that Charlie Flanagan wanted to give an official state commemoration to.

It's a protest song as a response to his brain fart. I wouldn't read much further into it than that if I were you.

JohnnyFlash · 09-02-2020 2:11pm

Dessie Ellis and his supporters singing about the IRA in the count centre isn’t normal. It just isn’t.

Seems it is, seems the tools singing them foresee the gravy train coming their way.

Bad news for those who get up early and go to work...

This vote is a lash back against FG, nothing surer, handled badly, a blind monkey could see housing and health were the issues.

Brexit my Royal Irish ballbag.... !!

Of no interest to the electorate.....shure it will all be grand....major mistake.

I think you're the one who read too much into it. A pop at Charlie Flanagan? :rolleyes:

If I were FF or FG I'd be tempted to go in to coalition with SF but only on the condition they took the ministries for housing and health.
At the end of the term they couldn't use them as a stick with which to beat the establishment parties as they'd have achieve precisely SFA in their time in the ministries.

You are aware that song is about the old Ira and not the provos? If it wasn’t for the old Ira you wouldn’t have FG/FF. it’s Sinn Féin day and congratulations to them. I gave them number 3 so I can’t be accused of being a shinner

Alternatively, maybe it's Ellis trying to show he's down with it, and hip and trendy singing a song that was No1 a few weeks ago.

Charlie (no pun intended) royally fcuked up with his RIC worshiping stunt.

They all signed up to the same plan, and literally every talking point on health from each of the major parties was taken from the slaintecare plan so explain what specifically SF would do different that they havent publicly said?
