>Micheál Martin has refused to rule out entering a coalition government with Sinn Fein after the next general election, while criticising the party for being populist, Eurosceptic and sympathetic to Russia.
Speaking to political correspondents just before Christmas, the taoiseach said the focus of inter-party talks following the next election, due in three years’ time, would be around policies and ideas.
>“I think there’s too much emphasis in Irish politics about the personalities, the who and who, and whose turn is it. The next government won’t be that easy to form, because it will have to be formed around policies, substance, issues and ideas,” he said. “What I’m saying to you is our view is it will be based on policies”
He seems a bit worried about it wonder why
They’ve said this for awhile now
The only ones who definitely won’t touch SF are FG
How can he accuse a party of being “populist, Eurosceptic and sympathetic to Russia” and then say he’d consider going into government with them? It’s like he might not actually believe the things he says…
While simultaneously trashing them all weekend…
Talk about proving the man has no spine.
Should go down well with what’s left of their voter base.
Maybe they’re going for the transfer vote.
What do SF supporters think? Any fans of pragmatism to get into government?
My old politics professor used to tell us about how people from all over the world came here to study FF, because they were the only political part anywhere who literally had no point to them other than being in power.
They would change whatever it took, be anywhere on the political spectrum, and not give a single fuck about it so long as it meant they would be in power. Other parties moved with the times, or did things differently, but at their core they were always based on a certain ideology and would never move from that or they would disband first. FF literally don’t care.
This is just another example of it.
Can we start using SFF
What a slithering worm he is
Big brain play incoming from FF, collapse the government when Leo takes over and setup a new one with SF and ride their coat tails into the next election
Saying SF is pro putin is just hilarious nonsense.
Mehole talking through his hole again , i see .
Bad ratings bring the shite out .
Get rid of him and other arse holes first .
He wont be around by the time that deal comes about so realistically he is talking out his arse as usual…
I can’t believe with all the scandals and incompetence surrounding this weasel that someone hasn’t taken a shot at him. Surely there is someone out there who has lost everything over the last 12-15 years because of FF & FG that they’ll just go for it.
