  1. Why is she bothering with stuff like this?

    It’s coming off a bit desperate from her, along with her earlier claims that the country needed her now more than ever.

    You have to wonder if she knows that the party is about to kick her out as leader and she’s scrambling for something to prevent it at the moment?

  2. Not surprising, couldn’t even get elected on the first count like the other major party leaders

  3. Who cares? The only real story left is can FF strongarm FG to have MM as Taoiseach for the full term.

  4. Despite all the efforts of the SF activists on here pre election. Shocking!

  5. MM got a fairly funny jab in when he said that SFs position that the leader of the largest party should lead the country, following the 2020 election, so they should have nominated him for Taoiseach.

  6. Jesus her speech was something to behold, making out the working people of Ireland didn’t vote FFG, that they should feel abandoned, no… that SF was going to be the voice of the working person.

    The fuckin neck of her lol

  7. What does 44 votes to 110. Did pbp or and left parties vote for her?

    Does this mean 110 voted against her?

  8. If she wanted to be taoiseach maybe the should have run enough candidates to realistically maybe get some sort of majority

  9. Funny how they are now starting to use “Left” when referring to themselves in SF.
