Husband of FF Senator tries to make FF seem relevant
There will be a lot of trust lost in our democratic system if there’s a repeat of something like Micheál Martin running around the country promising voters he’d never go into coalition with Fine Gael before going into coalition with Fine Gael.
My relatively high FF preference last time was based on wanting to get FG out of government, and that preference was elicited from me by an outright lie.
Parties need to be honest about whom they’d go into coalition with during the next campaign.
MM will be knifed and SF/FF/SD government will emerge barring SF get enough seats they don’t need FF or FF get obliterated.
SF won’t need FF or FG at next election if polls continue how they are.
A 40% first preference could realistically give you more than 50% of seats. Particularly facing such a fragmented incumbent government
Didn’t we prove we are a two party dictatorship in the last election. SF, irrespective of what I think about them, won and yet were excluded from government.
Next government will be FF/SF
I’d like an SF/FF or an SF/SD/Lab coalition; it would do no harm to have some seasoned hands in the mix – outside of their front bench, SF are running some very green politicians, as well as an undue share of contrarians by virtue of being the protest vote for so long.
I’m seriously tired of vague references to criminality when it comes to SF. It’s intellectually dishonest, pathetic, whinging. The more I hear it, the more determined I am to vote them in.
FF would be mad to go into power with SF – they’d be wiped out at the following election. The only FF TDs encouraging this are likely to be ones that think they can make the jump to SF if needs be. While I wouldn’t vote for FF because of the history of the party history of gombeenism and economic ignorance, I wouldn’t like a decent man like Micheal Martin to be put in a position of making excuses for SF behaviour when in power. Let SF own the inevitable mess.

It’ll be the end of FF if they shack up with SF.
The dirt ineptitude and corruption will rub off.
