Who will form a coallition with SF?
PBP-Solidarity? Independents?
Will FF change their minds+ sit down with them?

Without a shadow of a doubt they will, despite vehemently saying otherwise before the election.

Sorry you are wrong. Plenty of substance and young people are turning to turn in droves

It's time to emmigrate. To Syria. Or Zimbabwe. A group of terrorist thugs now possibly the largest party in the country. What does that say about the youth of today?

....that they did the exact same as their great grandparents and grandparents? A "group of terrorist thugs" founded the state.

FG 1
FF 1
SF 22

29/160 seats filled so far, a ways to go but certainly grim enough reading.

And the latest thugs will run it into the ground. It will be interesting to see how they'll fund all these election promises...:rolleyes:

It wasn’t Sinn Fein/IRA that founded the state. Sinn Fein/IRA murdered innocent men, women, and children. They have blood on their hands.

That they've had enough of things such as, 'keep the recovery going' etc, I think everyone needs to relax anyway, sf aren't in government yet, expect the shanaigans to begin soon between ffg, even if SF get into government, they probably won't be able to implement half of their manifesto

I would imagine the national question will be front and centre of any potential programme for government.

It says that the Labor, FF and FG parties got bland and comfortable, SF worked hard on the ground and the young voter, being young, truly don’t know what the forthcoming nightmare of having the puppets of rabid, selfish and violent individuals in government will really be like. Their parents didn’t do a great job of reminding them... SF get in, getting the fûckers legally out might be a job, the following election might be erm, dodgy.

I can understand that but did they not do their own polling since?
Why did Eoin O'Broin have a running mate if they were being cautious?

Because the running mate is a sitting TD, having won the by election last year for Frances Fitzgerald's old seat.

It was a different Sinn Fein and a different IRA, but if you think they were saints who committed no wrong and didn't have "blood on their hands" you're very much mistaken. Armed struggle is like all war - mistakes are made, atrocities committed and so on. You should read up on the likes of Frank Aiken etc.

Yeah because the FF/FG muppets are full of substance.

Absolutely disgusting . I’m not a fan of any particular political party so the shinners can call me a blue shirt or whatever to their hearts content. They have presided over a train wreck in the north with record homelessness and a awful housing situation. They are scum, who don’t care about murdering innocent people. Their fanboys say it was a different time. Well I still remember and I’m in my thirties. And I know families that are still in pain from their innocent relatives being tortured and murdered.

That doesn’t seem to matter though . I thought Ireland had turned a corner bringing in gay marriage etc but this sickens me and I wonder what sort of people we have in this country. Any body who does an honest days work for a living may as well emigrate cos we’re done for.

Ireland - shame on you.

Do you want any help booking your flight?

Something that could suit Sinn Fein, would be to form a coalition with either FF or FG for 6 months, then throw a hissy fit over something populist, cause another election and run more candidates.

You do realise that SF won’t actually help the working person? All they care about is providing ‘foreva homes’ for the work shy.

Do you realise who has invested in these vulture funds? Do you have a pension, if you do, I can guarantee you that a significant part of that is invested in REITs.

Yeah we get it, you might lose a few hundred on your pension.

Who cares about people who can't afford somewhere to live! Wasters yeah, they should concentrate on their pension funds.

Oh ffs, relax, a government hasn't been formed yet, people have just expressed their anger, frustrations and fears, in a democratic manner, we could very well be heading back to the ballot boxes soon, who knows

I know several in his constituency and for years by all accounts he’s done excellent work on the ground at constituency level, a family member can verify this too knowing him since childhood and living in said constituency... didn’t want to vote for him but there you go.
