People don’t actually expect Sinn Fein to be able to dramatically change the cost of living or housing situation though do they?
They just want somebody else in power that isn’t FF and FG.
Do some people literally expect the country to change dramatically, to have more money at the end of the month, for Ireland to be the one to crack the international housing crisis & for everything to become cheaper overnight?
And 1500 is a solid sample size – more than most of the general election sample poll sizes.
Maybe people realise their plan of throwing more money than the government at every single problem won’t actually be the answer in an inflationary environment? And that external factors (international market prices of fuel and electricity) aren’t something that soundbites and spoofing can fix?
For the record, I don’t think the existing government can solve it either until international issues settle.

My cousin is a rattlesnake, from Castelrea. This would really offend him.
Lis it a red c poll or something?
I don’t think that statistic is an indictment of Sinn Féin but more a reflection of the seriousness of the situation. Sinn Féin could come to power and do everything right and the cost of living crisis will still remain until there is an adequate supply of housing. Which won’t happen for a while even if you were to start building a hape of them today.
Rattlesnakes, a great bunch of lads
In a country with a multiple parties to vote for – 27% of the public voting for you would be decent if this translated to first preference votes.
~~Did they do a poll for the other parties?~~
EDIT – Yes they did. 37% believe the current coalition can tackle the crisis.
Im on the fence … the army council were always good with money.

So SF leads the poll’s and now they are being put down by a tabloid, paid to do so, by a govt that looks after its own and not the people. I’d rather see SF take the reins and aim for long term change,instead of the sticking plasters that are received as small monetary amounts by the nation. We want a united Ireland to tackle the problem of our missing 6 counties, too.
Ireland is 6 Billion Euros better off and looking at a higher GDP and tax surplus next year. With lower unemployment seen for the first time, pre-pandemic, we are not in a crisis yet. Unless you count the homeless, which the current govt is to blame for!
And the other 73% trust no one
The public doesn’t trust SF; a party built in the South on the back of a bank robbery with historical connections to the council of the IRA, and with absolutely zero fiscal plans off their own outside of constant complaining at any decision made…..shocked
Just because I don’t trust SF doesn’t mean I trust FFG.
Mup Willie Power.
Tbh I really don’t care about any IRA affiliations or anything like that.
If I’m voting on my future I sure as fuck ain’t going to be thinking back 30 odd years ago to do so.
Get FFG the fuck out. Far out, and keep them out. At least until all of their crony appointments are diluted or completely out. Their dodgy judges, partnered journalists, health sector, housing, planning etc.. and on and on.
Remove their perks that they have built up for years. So much to remove.
But I have little faith. SF won’t have enough numbers to get a government together. Will need a coalition. FG will throw another strop. FF might join them. Feck all other options, most of the indies won’t.
They forget every other country in Europe has a fecking mish mash of policies.
There’ll be feck all change if any after the next GE. When they realise how much SF need them form a coalition the other parties will probably act even more cuntish.
FG, proud of their bigot past, proud of their Orange links, but try to tell us SF are the only scumbag party.
Easiest job in the world is opposition government. “ we will do this, we will do that” until they get in to power. Then it’s er, emmm, let’s just carry on as we were.
People are voting SF to say F#ck you to the current government. No one seriously believes SF have a hidden incredible technocratic or moral genius that will come to light once they get into government
SF won’t do any better, why vote for them? FFG haven’t done most of us any favors, why vote for them?
During the pandemic the wealth of the Irish billion – BILLION – aires,
rose €16bn.
The wealth brackets that FFG live in is disgusting, they have lost all touch with the people they represent.
I don’t trust Sinn Fein to turn things around. I think I’d be much worse off with both of us working in this household. Things are hard enough.
Isn’t there literally a song about the Daily Mail being shit propaganda?
If you used the Daily Mail to wipe your ass, there would be more shit and a marked improvement on the quality of journalism.
Yea let’s bad mouth any new contenders in the political world.
FF & FG are great and have so many people fate, in those particular legacy parties.
The reason we’re where we are in many sectors are because of either of the legacy political parties and there cronies and old boy system of kick backs, and fleecing the resources of the country mentality.
The parties change legislation to suit there means and not the people’s choice( recent classification of FF as a charity, so they could run their own lottery). How many government scandals have FF & FG brushed under the carpet and we still have confidence they will provide leadership and make the right decisions.
I’m in the 27% and have hope, rather than be in the 70% that have lost all fate in the system or the die hard 3% legacy supporters of FF and FG. So afraid to speak up no matter how many times the leadership makes poor decisions.
Hey come on now ming the rattle snakes wouldnt do it out of malice !!
The problem is that people don’t change their vote, so parties become complacent. The threat of ukip was enough to get the Tories doing something, albeit something silly, but something nonetheless. The prospect of Sinn Fein winning should be the kick up the arse that ff fg need to wake up and do something, but I doubt it will change much.
Ironically, Gogglebox Ireland had a great explainer on it
People would like the chance to be screwed over by a different party to the ones thatve been doing it since the very start.
yep high chance SF won’t be able to tackle the cost of living. But surely better than actively fucking things up for a brown envelope

That’d be a lot of expectations.
The poll was completed by https://amarach.com/ not the Daily Mail.
And 1500 is a solid sample size – more than most of the general election sample poll sizes.
