    If a rotating Taoiseach is a key demand of SF for partnership government with FF, who should get to go first ?

    Whoever has most seats gets it first if it happens.

    Matter for negotiation, but the party with the greater number of seats would be well-positioned to say that it should be them.

    If they want it. They might actually reckon that it's better to go second, so that you are the Taoiseach in office when the next election is fought.

    Nor would the party members who would vote on it.

    Then SF won’t be in power. FG could support FF in the same manner that FF did to them. The Green Party and ind could support them
