Looking very like a reversal of the competence and supply agreement with Martin at the wheel this time.

Unfortunately @anon61878697 had 5 figures for 5 parties and got all of them wrong.

You haven’t allowed for the margin of error in your reading of those figures, mate.

It always puzzled me how so many journalists could be such poor speakers.

The way he is wielding his glasses is very off putting too.

And overexplaining very basic fundamentals of Irish polling.

Could do with a better colour scheme for the graphic. FFS sake

What’s the alternative? Both fg a ff said they wouldn’t get into bed with sf. Judging by those polls neither fg nor ff will come anyway near to forming a coalition with any of the other parties. Leo is also on record as saying he’s not adverse to the idea. That’s assumi g of course he’s still leader after the election

Worse than a lad who claimed a victory for picking the wrong election date because he was close?

the country is booming , FDI is at an all time high, there are jobs everywhere ( you’d need your head examined to be unemployed) , salaries are high, life is great and people are complaining the FG have done a crap job… am i missing something or are people fucked up?
who cares about some RIC sideshow comic bullshit- thats for simpletons, scum shooting scum in dublin or a few fellas homeless- its got absolutely nothing to do with the vast majority of the country but for some reeason like supporting english football clubs an element in ireland seek to adopt a sense of identity witht something that has nothing to do with them and go on some crusade to attack the man in power.
I cannot see what FG could be doing better- i have raised my grievances w.r.t childcare but Zappone is trying ( yes i know non FG) and i really wish they would incentivize WFH a bit more to offset costs- lads like me and most on here are paying the tax that runs this place and we do ok out of it i think but we do pay up and for that reaason i couldnt give a clean fuck about some SF cunt who wants to provide more medical cards and houses for fucks who have no intention of working and are institutionalised by a social welfare culture,
FG are apalling at PR granted but they have drove and got the place moving - its the fuckers who cant handle the pace who are now putting their heads above the parapet and now what do we have , well mickey fucking martin and the lads back in.
democracy… you couldnt make it up

A FF minority government appears the most likely.

yes - i agree

Correct.

You are missing something. The Black and Tan War of 1919-21 and how it is to be commemorated is the biggest issue on the doorsteps. Fine Gael are seemingly out of touch with the electorate on this most important of issues.

Who’s on for SF? I’m not watching.

Lorraine O’Reilly. All the health spokespersons for FF, Lab, SF and Soc Dems joining Simon Harris.
