Ireland politics (Part 1)

SF SD Labour coalition is surely a viable option in 2 elections time. Most Irish people are nominally leftish enough. And with the Abfg Abff vote there is a chance.

Would FF consider an amalgamation with SF? Underage first to see how it goes with a view to creating a few good minor teams before going with it at senior level?

That would have @hbv cumming all over the €500 that he normally kept for the Romanians who lived next door to @Bandage old flat down the docks

I see Drew Harris has had to issue a statement on what he said on the news last night about yesterday’s march being the far left.

Time for another rebrand for Murphy

glasagusban · February 28, 2021, 10:36am

How so?

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 28, 2021, 10:44am

It’s effectively the left subsuming each other into a bigger political unit which makes perfect sense if they want to grown their voting base.

glasagusban · February 28, 2021, 10:45am

Exactly. They’re politically aligned, they should merge.

tallback · February 28, 2021, 10:57am

If they are politically aligned - why have they not done so while continually spinning off new groupings?

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 28, 2021, 10:57am

Why don’t FF and FG do the same now?

farmerinthecity · February 28, 2021, 10:59am

Because there is something in their personalities which mean they’d argue with their own shadow and are unable or unwilling to form a viable political alternative.

glasagusban · February 28, 2021, 11:01am

I don’t know, you’d have to ask them. They appear to be doing it now. Makes sense for them, right?

Biff_Egan · February 28, 2021, 11:08am

As an Aontu man yourself, you should be looking to get them back in the tent.

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 28, 2021, 11:11am

FF are not left wing enough for Aontu.

Thomas_Brady · February 28, 2021, 11:23am

Yes. Yes and yes.

Do you think the average person, like @The_Most_Infamous, will see this tho?

Ralphie · February 28, 2021, 11:30am

First item on the agenda- I propose a split

Special_Olympiakos · February 28, 2021, 12:04pm

I think there’s a higher allowance for him if he’s a separate party. How very socialist

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · February 28, 2021, 12:44pm

Three parties now though and SF and FG are never going into coalition together.

The problem you now have is how divided things will get.

You look at that poll and if they represent seats then FG and SF will need FF and two of the Greens/SD/Lab/PBP to get just about a majority government. You’re going to have governments falling on a frequent basis from here on in.

TheUlteriorMotive · February 28, 2021, 12:47pm

Belgium have this issue I think. An endless succession of coalition governments that have no underlying ideology and no direction.
