Donegal is finished you daftie.

You are suffering from West Brit PTSD,

Raylan · February 10, 2020, 7:41pm

All these come-from-nowhere candidates are going to be looked at a lot closer now. Wonder what we’ll find?

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 10, 2020, 7:45pm

In contrast to what? Timmy fucking Dooley?

Ah here @iron_mike

Raylan · February 10, 2020, 7:45pm

What are you talking about?

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 10, 2020, 7:46pm

That some daft simpleton from Clare was the alternative.

Raylan · February 10, 2020, 7:48pm

I don’t think I suggested he was

The numbers don’t work for FF & SF alone now. If they have to bring in a third party anyway, could Leo be persuaded rather than FF I wonder

the_man_himself · February 10, 2020, 7:51pm

Not a hope, they are happy to go back into opposition and their base are too West Brit anyway to go near Sinn Fein

iron_mike · February 10, 2020, 7:51pm

No. By all accounts Leo is content to sit in opposition and fire scuds from there

mick_jones · February 10, 2020, 7:51pm

Only one way to settle this, penalties, and you’d have to fancy SF in a shootout

Esso_Oil · February 10, 2020, 7:52pm

No way are FG going in. Leo must go before the party to be reelected. No way will the FGers vote anyone suggesting going into government

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 10, 2020, 7:52pm

Then what on God’s green earth was your point?

The_Most_Infamous · February 10, 2020, 7:53pm

FF-SF and a few independents will get the majority required I’d say.

Cullinane minister for justice.

Julio_Geordio · February 10, 2020, 7:55pm

There’ll be a few more twists in the story yet before a government are elected.

anon7035031 · February 10, 2020, 7:55pm

FG would be absolutely insane to go into government with SF as a junior partner. Between a EU economy that is already weak, the impact of Brexit, the impact of the Wuhan virus on global trade, and the prospect of a left wing victory in the US in November, the next 3/4 years could be an absolute shit show.

This will likely be a great time to be in opposition, it’s what all three parties would prefer I’d say.

Midshipman_Asha · February 10, 2020, 7:55pm

I think they have to make the decision not to participate in a government or have had that decision made for them by the electorate before he goes before the party

the_man_himself · February 10, 2020, 7:56pm

I hadn’t even seen the eejit in Waterford saying “Up the Ra” until now. Jaysus

Julio_Geordio · February 10, 2020, 7:57pm

That’s minister eejit to you
